“ My working hypothesis is that Conservatism, by its very nature, can’t be funny.”
That’s not true at all. You’d have do do more than just say it to prove it
Actually leftism and liberalism is devoid of humor.
State ru/state approved humor is funny. That’s all Kimmel and stern are doing here and they are not funny. Never were. This from a NYer who had stern o drive time back in the early 80s. He was never funny to me
Why would you judge conservatives’ humor by Gutfeld? He’s not even culturally conservative. Greg Gutfeld is not funny. He guffaws and screams
He uses scatalogical humor but in a bad way. Not funny.
What Gutfeld is 100% right about is laughing about leftist ideology and outcomes. It’s what Mel Brooks did/does unwittingly.
Gutfeld had a late night show red eye. Fox played it way too late and Gutfeld put in too much of his disgusting not funny humor. It was a great show. He had on up and coming media and political personalities of the day and led the talk. He had a side kick to keep it light.
It was a dark studio with a high top round table. It was the hosts and guests of the fox day gathering at happy hour to bounce ideas left and right
It was a gem. That’s where Gutfeld is funny. Appreciating their humor and ideas.
Complete insanity that Gutfeld did not see what he had there and fox is stupid for not working that.
Not looking to pick a fight with you, stanne.
Just expressing my personal opinion about humor, which is, by nature, personal.
Why would you judge conservatives’ humor by Gutfeld? He’s not even culturally conservative. Greg Gutfeld is not funny. He guffaws and screams He uses scatological humor but in a bad way. Not funny.
So we actually agree - at least, on Gutfeld?
I freely confess that I have had very little exposure to conservative humor. I think that Gutfeld is the only example I have seen of conservative humor in recent times.
Can you recommend someone else whose work I should see?
