I keep seeing messages on Twitter like “The right is getting good at comedy and the lefty woketards can’t take it.”
So I’m going to try to get into right wing comedy because the INTERNET is telling me it’s sooooo hot right now and I don’t want to feel left out.
I mean if you can’t laugh at disabled people because they’re disabled, what can you laugh at?
Most of us are probably familiar with female comedians like Amy Schumer or Sarah Silverman who make dark jokes about rape or the fear of being raped, and that comes across as edgy, intelligent as well as making a serious point.
But surely there are right wing male comedians who joke about rape too? And surely that would be equally funny, right?
Are there any funny, intelligent right wing comedians?
It’s such good advertising the way they splash the world “COMEDY” across the poster in huge lettering, so anybody who sees the poster knows it’s COMEDY.
Three times it has word “COMEDY” in CAPITAL LETTERS.
That’s the definition of COMEDY.
And it’s FREE THINKING. It’s UNLEASHED. It’s BACK, after THEY tried to SILENCE it.
I don’t pay much attention to him but from what I can make out, it seems to me he’s become David Brent.
It’s a bit disappointing to see fellas like Graham Linehan and Ricky Gervais become parodies of the very characters they used to satirise before they suffered mid-life crises and became horrible reactionary old men.
It was funny when theulteriormotive used always repost tweets on the snowflake thread as evidence of the snowflakes not realising they were from a supposed parody account.
I wouldn’t put Gervais in the same bracket as Linehan and his ilk. Maybe I’m wrong but i never felt he was punching down or singling out any section in society.
The impression I get is that he has been increasingly moving in that direction. I haven’t listened to enough of his comedy in recent years to say for sure as I didn’t listen to it because of the impression I had increasingly formed of it despite not listening to it.
