Why does anyone other than the Loony Left pay any attention to this twerp?
The same for Amy Schumer.
They are entertainers, not intellectuals and never the twain shall meet (at least on the Left).
The same for Amy Schumer.
Actually, I was thinking of Schumer when I read this article.
Twenty years ago, it was common for comedians and others to point out the obvious: Women aren't as funny as men. Famous examples include John Belushi, Andy Kaufman and Christopher Hitchens. It just occurred to me as I typed that that all three of those men died young, but that's for another post.
About ten years ago, comedians used to get into a lot of trouble for saying that men are funnier than women, or that there aren't a lot of funny women. This is the comedy equivalent to saying "White men can't jump" or that blacks are better basketball players than whites. But the PC police couldn't have it. Off to the re-education camp with you!
Four years ago, Adam Carolla said "women aren't funny" and he hasn't been heard from since (other than on FOX News). Joseph Gordon-Levitt said the same thing, but he's too talented for anyone to ignore. And anyway, he walked it back.
Since that time, every two years -like clockwork -feminists present us with the newsest version of the fat, vulgar comedian. First it was Melissa McCarthy. Then it was Dunham. Schumer is now the flavor of the week. Why do we keep getting a new one? Because, like all women, these women aren't particularly funny. They have two shticks: Too much self-confidence for a fat ugly girl, and too many dirty jokes for a respectable lady. But once you get over the former, the latter gets old in a hurry.
We giggle because we are uncomfortable the first time we see Danny from "Full House" drop a few F-bombs and say the C-word. After that, the routine gets old pretty fast.
