I'm not watching this, because this guy isn't funny, but the thesis is correct with the caveat that right-wing writers/performers themselves can be very funny, even if their actual material isn't really right-wing. norm macdonald, john swartzwelder (simpsons writer) ... i'm sure there are more. some of the best to ever do it. south park (at its best) is sort of in the middle there - where it liked to be.
a lot of so-called edgy material that hacks say you can't do any more is stuff that's really just upholding the status quo, or mocking perceived threats to it.
at the other end, a lot of the absolute worst garbage is done by milquetoast liberals so ymmv.
this is putting aside the phenomenon of 'the person standing on-stage yelling their opinions with only the thinnest pretence of comedy is funny because i agree with their opinions'.

I didn't care much for his humor initially, but it and he grew on me over a handful of videos, and this is probably my favorite of that handful. Disclaimer: a healthy bong rip before watching each episode probably influenced my opinion, so ymm definitely v.

His bit here actually addresses the points you raise in your comment, though I don't know that you'd get anything new out of actually watching it.

The best point made in the video is that conservative comedy's current goal is to make liberals angry. The goal isn't to make a good point or figure out what the funniest angle is, it's to piss off the left.

Yeah, as a comic this guy is very hit-or-miss. But as a John Oliver-style extended report show, his stuff can be pretty damn good. This was one of his better efforts.

Because observational and satirical comedy requires a certain understanding of reality, and conservatives don't live there.

this was WAY too long.

I like this show and I agree, the last ep was just unnecessary and this one could be a lot shorter

You’re not dead? Damn


Waugh - 2021-11-11

wow, you're still as mean as you are stupid, solro.
and you are extremely fucking stupid.

to be considered a comedy group you have to be funny

Mde never met that prerequisite


Waugh - 2021-11-11

hey sam hyde may be a cryptoreactionary hack with the worst fan base since jesus, but i'm certainly not going to pretend they were never funny.


Waugh - 2021-11-11
