ANYthing that exposes them as the evil they are will be dealt with and they are masters at waiting and incrementalism.
We have some hysterically FUNNY people right here on FR, who often leave me in stitches.
No PC, and humor runs rampant!
Most liberals cannot have a sense of humor. The majority of comments that make people laugh are in some way, big or small, politically incorrect.
Good article...thoughtful piece.
Okay. I admit it. I killed Comedy. But it was self-defense.
"HA! I'm laughing! Do you see me? Do you see me laughing? Because I GET that joke! Do you get that joke? Do you get it as much as me? Because I know it's FUNNY! HA!"
Really sucks all the joy out of comedy.
Probably an outlier but I find both Stewart and Colbert very funny and wish we had an answer to them. Closest would probably be Gutfeld.
I did stand up comedy in a liberal city for years and this article is spot on.
Applause instead of laughter is a dead give away (oh and there is a delay before the applause to run it through the filter list you describe). Real laughter at a great joke is like a gut punch. The response is involuntary. No delay time.
If a white comedian does a joke about a black person to a mostly white audience, they will all look at the one or two black people in the audience to see if it is ok to laugh.
But a black comedian can literally say anything.
Interesting read, thanks.
And you’re from Pittsburgh? Wow.
The real problem is that comedy enables the viewers to laugh at themselves, and that liberals absolutely cannot do that.
Did you write all the things at Shinbone?
I thought the things iread were very good.
"...flippancy is the best of all [forms of humor]. In the first place it is very economical. Only a clever Human can make a real Joke about virtue, or indeed about anything else; any of them can be trained to talk as if virtue were funny. Among flippant people the Joke is always assumed to have been made. No one actually makes it; but every serious subject is discussed in a manner which implies that they have already found a ridiculous side to it. If prolonged, the habit of Flippancy builds up around a man the finest armour plating against the Enemy [God] that I know, and it is quite free from the dangers inherent in the other sources of laughter. It is a thousand miles away from joy; it deadens, instead of sharpening, the intellect; and it excites no affection between those who practice it."
So much “Americana” that was the envy of the world (it even offered a dream of ‘escape’ to those behind the iron curtain; get your contraband recordings or clothing).
The ‘fun’ has been taken out of it all.
Sex is widely promoted but it's the perverted kind, men are to ‘blame’ and shouldn't be permitted to ‘enjoy’ it, and the hookup culture seems strangely unfulfilling to the public at large. Free love isn't free. rdquo; that was the envy of the world (it even offered a dream of
Most these clowns now are more obnoxious and classless than funny.
How many of these comedians would be considered funny now days without being so vulgar? Very few.
Stewart is dishonest, arrogant, mean-spirited, and not funny.
Comedy today is made of snide remarks.
