Right wing humor separates oxy from moron. That’s their science.
They then put it back on contin, which helps with the pain. Initially
Conservatives: “Hey want to hear a joke?” Transphobia
Followed by hur hur hur.
Then why is no one booking me, I must be getting canceled!
“Looks like you hate free speech because you think I’m an asshole” -conservatives, 100% of the time.
It’s a great thing Facebook and the small subreddit I manage aren’t the government!
Ban
I couldn’t say I didn’t watch the new Chappelle specials for MONTHS because there’s no world where I just didn’t give a crap about some old comedian whose been holed up for 20 years - it could only be because I hate free speech and personally killed comedy.
I can not FUCKING STAND this new conservative take that even not paying them attention is hurrdurr woke evil commie shit.
Tangential but Jim Jefferies had a good trans bit in his standup. I think it’s called High & Dry.
He’s hilarious and also not right wing
I know, that’s why I said tangential.
transgential.
transgenital
Come on, it was right there. Dangling.
“DAE hate gays!?!” Puppet farts, crowd goes wild
Remember when douche bags were as shitty as humanly possible to everyone until they were called out just for them to say i WaS jUsT jOkInG?!
Now they preemptively call anything a joke.
Life eh…finds a way.
The ol shit joke
The problem is that humor is often baded upon the subversive of expectations, so if a right wing person want to be funny they have to make a joke that the world is somehow different than the idiotic view they have of it. Often this ends up just describing reality cruelly. For example, a man dressing up as a woman is instantly funny, because as everyone knows there are only two genders and they have roles.
After all, where would a woman put the coconuts?
In a safe place, so she could use them to extort favors out from the other survivors.
The other 10% is “atheists pray to the nothing, amiright?” Not so much offensive as completely misunderstanding on a deliberate level.
The misunderstanding is deliberate. That way they have something additional to attack.
Very funny joke. I laughed uncontrollably for an hour
There were, and are, funny conservative comedians. Norm McDonald is the first one who comes to mind, but there have been others.
Examples would be P. J. O’Rourke, Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, Jeff Foxworthy, Louie Anderson, and my personal favorite, Mike Nelson of Rifftrax and MST3K.
The thing is, none of those comedians were especially political with their humor, or if they were, they hit everyone’s politics, and none of them punched down. They aren’t really conservative comedians, they’re comedians who happen to be conservative.
It’s not that conservative comedians aren’t funny, it’s that what a conservative audience now considers comedy is just someone being mean.
Norm McDonald is the first one who comes to mind
Was he conservative? I know conservatives latched on to him. But they also latched on to Steven Colbert in his early years, because they couldn’t detect sarcasm.
The thing is, none of those comedians were especially political with their humor,
PJ and Jeff Foxworthy were heavily political. Tim Allen, too. What generally worked for them as comedians was the absurdity (or, perceived absurdity) of a shifting culture.
The observational “I’m just a normal guy and look at all these freaks!” act isn’t conservative on it’s face. It just doesn’t age well, as views change.
Norm was definitely conservative.
Although he is not a U.S. citizen, he has publicly stated his support for Republican politicians George W. Bush and John McCain and has said that he considers Ronald Reagan to be the best President in U.S. history.
“You are a horrible person based not on the merits of what you do, but because you exist at all!” taps microphone “Wait, why didn’t you laugh? That was the joke!”
“Ha ha, people who don’t fit my extremely narrow worldview of being acceptable suck so much and people like me are so awesome!”
We’ve seen different sort of right-wing humour
Like what?
4chan is filled to the brim with it and it doesn’t really fit with the description in the photo. The “triggering snowflakes” stuff seems a bit old, maybe a bit more Facebook/boomer oriented
I know anti right-wing humor exists (E.g making fun of right-wing hypocrisy), but does left wing humor exist?
What are some good left wing jokes?
George Carlin has entered the chat.
Joe many republicans does it take to change a log by bulb?
None! Their too busy ??? there dementia!
Lol, maybe “We don’t change light bulbs. We make you switch back to kerosene lamps.”
I think now its “we don’t change the light bulbs but go back to using magic” because history is also something conservatives don’t like
q: How many Republicans does it take to change a light bulb?
a: pointing at a burned-out bulb: “We already changed it, can’t you see it’s working perfectly? Nothing’s good enough for you people. What do you want us to change it to now, a gas-light?”
The Onion is chock-a-block full of them.
both left wing and right wing are nutjobs.
misgendering someone is the same as assulting someone???
george floyd would have differed on that.
Someone telling you that you aren’t who you are is a really bad thing. It is not dying at the hands of a murderous cop, but it’s literally insulting your very being.
you misgender people for a whole list of reasons,especially so when you present yourself the opposite of what you identified with.
it’s an insult to associate misgendering someone as assult when a whole group of people who were once persecuted/assulted/ostracized based on their race,skin color, belief and sexual orientation.
yeah keep arguing against shit no one ever says, top tier discourse my dude
arguing??
nah my dude,just calling horseshit as i saw it.
if Lemmy had a tagging system, you’d be “doesn’t know the definition of argument.”
i just wish lemmy hadn’t attracted those snowflakes from reddit. too left leaning.
