I think there’s a difference between satire and general comedy. There was an argument a few years ago that the right had a bit of a step up on it due to “wokenews” becoming a bit of a parody.
Arguably though satire has just died generally because of Trump.
In terms of general comedy, the point is more around what was acceptable to joke about 20 years ago vs. now. What is edgy now wasn’t necessarily edgy then.
Here is some:
Idea for a right wing comedy sketch:
Ridicule people who think children should be vaccinated for measles.
Frame them as weak, “woke” scaredy cats. Especially if they are men. Men who think children should be vaccinated for measles are rejecting manhood and masculinity. They’re showing fear, showing they think something might be a risk, and they’re giving in to that risk, and that’s a rejection of masculinity, because masculinity means you should invite risk in all aspects of life.
Women who think children should be vaccinated for measles are merely showing the inherent traits of weakness that make women inherently inferior to men.
Then ridicule the idea of children dying from measles, even though this can and does happen.
That would be so funny, but then we all know right wing comedy is the BEST comedy.
The right is getting better at comedy and the lefty woketards don’t like it.
On last week’s episode of the satirical current affairs programme, Fin Taylor compared the former Labour leader to Bob Dylan, “in that I only hate him so much because of his fans”.
He said: “People think that Bob Dylan’s the greatest musician that ever lived, and you listen to some of it and it’s awful. But then people are so dogmatic and say he’s the greatest musician. People who like Corbyn, it’s what, 200,000 people in the Labour party that are fanatics? So all you’ve got to do next year is bomb Glastonbury. Hopefully Dylan’s headlining: two birds, one stone.”
@Tim_Riggins will be up in arms about this.
I had a long and slightly depressing discussion last week about what is now acceptable for comedy with some earnest comedy folks in their 20s.
They were so woke they were a bit conservative…
That’s it sure you can’t say anything now.
I disagree. You just have to find different funny ways to say it.
These days, if you say you’re English you’ll be arrested and thrown in jail.
You can’t even call black fellas “chalky”.
Heil Honey I'm Home! - Wikipedia!
Heil Honey I’m Home! is a British sitcom, written by Geoff Atkinson and produced in 1990, which was cancelled after one episode. It centres on Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, who live next door to a Jewish couple, Arny and Rosa Goldenstein.[3] The show spoofs elements of mid-20th century American sitcoms and is driven by Hitler’s inability to get along with his neighbours. It caused controversy when broadcast and has been called “perhaps the world’s most tasteless situation comedy”.[4]
I think you’re confused on what is comedy / satire.
This guy is soooo talented. You can’t not see the deep intelligence in his jokes. Who says white supremacism is not funny?
I love the way his website has the address www.andrewlawrencecomedy.co.uk.
That’s “www.andrewlawrenceCOMEDY.co.uk”.
The website is adressed in such a way so as that the people understand he’s a COMEDIAN. You wouldn’t want to confuse people as to what you are.
I am not sure if this would be classed as right wing, but it sure is nutbag stuff.
