“Don’t expect the comics to fight back. Instead, they’re like Lenny Bruce getting on stage and doing dead serious bits about how important it is not to offend the squares. But today, the SJWs and their allies are the squares. They are the Niedermeyers, the Judge Smailses, the uptight fussbudgets trying to make us turn down that damn rock n’ roll music and behave. Where’s our Bluto, our Al Cervik? Well, in the White House.”

I imagine that you have to be a bit long in the tooth to get all the cultural references in this article.

They have fun dishing it out, but they can’t take it. Leftists are emotionally fragile. Memes and humor will drive them crazy, when directed at THEM.

Just thinking out loud—a comedy thread here would be a great place to try out anti-sjw jokes.

“Take my sjw wife, please.” ;-)

They’ve certainly killed the ratings on the Late Noght TV shows.

Great article. Comedy is well and truly dead.

secular, liberal Jews with lots of money are very firmly in control of comedy and if you lampoon their political allies, you will have:

No gigs
No Netflix appearances
No commercials
No access to a mic at prominent venues

Thus jokes like:

Lemme tell ya ‘bout my p*ssy, ha ha ha
I’m glad we killed Jesus, ha ha ha

Not very funny.

The solitary comic making jokes about feminism and Gold-Digging Whores has (for now) a thriving career.

It says a lot about the mind-set of the average working man.

His prose would get annoying past a paragraph.

I could barely make it through his post.

A book of such drivel would be torture.

Chanel some Hemmingway and cut out half the fluff.

I’ve told people for years the left is dead set on eliminating all the “fun” in life.

Liberals lost the ability to be funny a long time ago - 24/7 hate and bile does that to one.

Worse than that, they are neo-Stalinists

Some will see a typo here; while I see a Freudian joke.

Comedy has become one of two things, neither of which are funny:

1) A soy boy whining and snarking about Trump.

2) An overweight female talking about her vagina.

A possible third category could include something like Samantha Bee’s show. It might be an attempt to be funny, but it’s just so cringy that we can’t be certain.
