A court has sentenced comedian Leo Lins to more than eight years in prison for inciting intolerance through a stand-up performance viewed by over three million people on YouTube. On Tuesday 3 June, Brazilian comedian Leo Lins was sentenced to over eight years in prison for making discriminatory remarks in a stand-up routine that targeted a wide range of minority groups — including black people, obese individuals, elderly people, those living with HIV, homosexuals, evangelicals, Indigenous communities, people from the impoverished northeast of Brazil, Jews, and people with disabilities. The federal court in São Paulo ruled that the right to...

The Secret Service is investigating after ex-FBI Director James Comey posted an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to make the numbers "86 47" — a message that White House officials swiftly condemned as an attempt to put out a "hit" against the 47th president. Comey later deleted the post after online backlash from government officials, lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s son. Trump has faced two assassination attempts — one of which resulted in him being shot and a bystander being killed — in the past year. The post including the alleged "hit" showed the numbers in question etched into the...

Benny Hill was once one of Britain's most popular entertainers, with his particular brand of comedy - slapstick and risque - hugely popular for some two decades with a theme tune that will bring back memories for anyone of a certain age. It's reported that one of his specials, aired in 1969, attracted a bigger audience than the moon landings but in recent years, the comedian has fallen out of favour, with some of his sketches being criticised over their racist and sexist jokes. This was the topic of a recent Channel 5 programme, The Cancellation of Benny Hill, looking...

The first teaser trailer for the new The Naked Gun movie dropped last weekend. The reboot of the 1988 film will replace Leslie Nielsen, who passed away in 2010, with Liam Neeson as the film’s lead. The trailer shares a comedic identity with the original franchise as both are a spoof of the action movie genre. Some have resisted the new film, claiming that Leslie Nielsen’s iconic performance can’t be matched, even by a talented actor such as Neeson. TRAILER AT LINK.................... Others have attacked the film for being another reboot, amidst a surplus of low-quality, tiresome remakes such as...

Gayle King used a gay slur while retelling a joke on live TV. The broadcast journalist was interviewing comedian Matteo Lane — who is openly gay — about his new cookbook, “Your Pasta Sucks,” when she quoted one of his jokes back to him. “You embrace being gay and your homosexuality,” King, 70, said to Lane, 38, who had been freely discussing his sexual orientation throughout the chat. “And I’m wondering — where did this come from? The funniness that you were able to combine with cooking and and your stand-up, too?” Lane explained that he comes from “a large...

Nature is cruel, majestic, and fascinating. Sometimes, it’s also a bit silly. The Nikon Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards has released 17 previously unseen submissions to its 2024 competition that celebrate the lighter side of the animal kingdom. From an orangutan mother unfazed by her child’s antics to a brown bear cub face palming, these photos will make you say “relatable.”

Starting in May 2010, The Washington Examiner reported, drawing on emails obtained by Citizens United, “Clinton Foundation staff pushed Hillary Clinton’s State Department to approve a meeting between Bill Clinton and a powerful Russian oligarch as her agency lined up investors for a project under his purview.” His name was Viktor Vekselberg of Renova (a Clinton Foundation donor) and the project under his purview was the Skolkovo Innovation Center, which is being built near Moscow. The following month, Bill Clinton would receive $500,000 for a speech in Moscow from a Renaissance Capital, a Russian investment bank with ties to the...

VIDEOPerhaps President Trump was too kind his assessment of Zelenky's act. What do you think?

A heckler told Katt that Phoenix, Arizona, was Mexican land, and Katt COOKED him for almost 4 minutes.

Late-night comedy hosts including Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel spent 2024 repeatedly bashing now President-elect Donald Trump — and experienced another bad year as their cultural relevance and viewership continue to crash. The network comedians told a total of 1,463 jokes about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris during the recent fall election period, with a whopping 98 percent of them aimed at Trump, according to a recent study by the Media Research Center. The study covered the period from September 3 through October 25.

It wasn’t long ago when most comedians shared the same game plan as Nate Bargatze. The 45-year-old stand-up veteran—whose latest Netflix special arrives on Christmas Eve, and has a holiday variety show airing tonight on CBS—has dutifully steered clear of every pressure point currently mangling American society. Unlike so many other comedians his age, Bargatze is fundamentally disengaged with the curdled rage over the trans debate, racial justice, or “wokeness” writ large. Nor has he adopted the surly demeanor of the lefties who dominated the scene in the 2000s—guys like Patton Oswalt and David Cross, who managed to shape every...

Happy Christmas? Merry Hanukkah? Happy Challahdays? There’s no need for an identity crisis this year for those who celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah, with both happily coinciding on Dec. 25. New Yorkers who normally nurse some serious “Christmas envy” are plotzing over the cultural conundrum they’ve dubbed “Chrismukkah,” a Judeo-Christian mashup for the ages. Comedian Max Cohen, who goes by the handle MurrayHillBoy, is so pumped for the cultural collision, he staged a parody of the Dr. Seuss Christmas classic, rebranding the holiday tale as “How the Grinch Stole Hanukkah.”

Throughout the 2024 election cycle, reproductive rights were an electoral vulnerability for Donald Trump. Though popular with the Republican base, his appointment of antiabortion judges gave serious pause to many key voting blocs, including undecided young men. In pursuit of these voters, Trump’s strategy wasn’t demagoguery but comedy. Trump’s October appearance on comedian Andrew Schulz’s podcast, “Flagrant,” demonstrated his approach to the touchy issue. Schulz playfully invoked Trump’s youngest son, who’s a student at New York University – “Barron is 18. He’s unleashed in New York City. Are you sure you want to reverse Roe vs. Wade now?” After a...

...In what was hailed as one of the funniest opening monologues in recent times, Rock placed comedy above politics as he took swipes at both sides of the political spectrum...'Trump had a good year, man,' Rock said. 'Trump survived an assassination attempt. Won the presidency again by winning the popular vote. Was just named 'Time' man of the year...'A lot of people are scared. Like, "oh, my God, he's going to be so undignified." When I say a lot of people, I'm talking about the nine New Yorkers that didn't vote for him, okay?', Rock said, poking fun at liberals...'Come...
