Why stand-up propaganda sucks
9 Comments

Just had to get some thoughts off my chest. Bonus episode/rant on YouTube:

Context is also super important. The jokes could’ve been mildly amusing - at a comedy club or a comedy special (and with better delivery). The fact that these jokes were written FOR a conservative rally automatically disqualifies them.

Yea I think I saw something that’s like dark humour is funny because it subverts our reality, so if we take that and think that like oh obviously people who have experienced what ever the joke is about, have a greater understanding of it, which makes their jokes

had this sort of thought kicking around in my head but couldn't articulate it as perfectly as this

Yep!

Shane Gillis called Justin Trudeau a F****t and I laughed my ass off. It wasn't just the implied inferiority that made it funny it was that he took the risk of alienation by pissing off woke-scolds like yourself. This is why you will never be successful @GianmarcoSoresi

Well put

Dude you are literally a primary offender of this. Your material is so much worse because you’re obsessed with being au courant on the issues facing the world or whatever.

And Jon Stewart thinks he’s hilarious
