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'.

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

love - 2021-11-10 I like this show and I agree, the last ep was just unnecessary and this one could be a lot shorter

teethsalad - 2021-11-11 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.
