Liberals/Progressives are pathetic in so many ways.

Most comedies today are unwatchable. I have to watch old sitcoms.

Good article. Comedy used to be a roundabout way of telling the truth about how silly humans are, and we could laugh at ourselves. Libs have ruined it by making it nothing but politically correct bullying, as the author points out. Comedy ain’t nothin’ like it used to be. I still watch reruns of ‘Frazier’ and enjoy them. They won’t run Archie Bunker though, will they? Wimps.

One of the things that the author didn’t point out (but many of us know anyway) is that ridicule of your enemy is one of Saul Alinsky’s ‘rules’.

If you can laugh at your enemy, you take away their power. The libs know this. THAT is why they want to control what people laugh at. If the majority of the country is laughing at them, who’s gonna take them seriously?

Modern comedians amaze me. They sold their soul at the PC altar for Obama and modern liberalism and no idea how to come back from it. They were some fun during President W’s administration but now they’re just sad. I’ve told some young local comedians that President Trump’s election should be a new golden age for them but leftist intolerance has now completely taken over their sense of humor.

I have only one rule about political humor. No matter who it’s about, it has to be funny. Sadly most of it fails.

"Where’s our Bluto, our Al Cervik?"

Probably at the gun range, making sure their aim is good and their ammo is dry. Because at some point the joke isn't so funny anymore.

What does an entire generation of stoners and addicts need comedy for? What if it is insensitive? They don’t need a comedian, they are slaves to drug induced neurochemical worship of hedonism.

“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.” ;-)

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.

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