      I don’t think so, I think unfunny comedy is being highlighted and comedians trying to be Carlin with their commentary but offensive comedy is alive and well.

      If comedy is being ruined by anyone it is by the group of people who think it’s patriotic, or morally praiseworthy to be offensive without a point.

      If you’re offensive without a point you’re just an asshole.

      These people have 2 jokes “I identify as” and “let’s go Brandon”.

      Everything else is just going “biden sucks, left sucks, trans people make my pepe hard and I’m confused by it”. It isn’t “funny” unless you already agree with everything they do. And even then I’d say it isn’t a joke just people getting release for being pandered to. Conservative thought porn.

      Most jokes are not funny. Most comedians are not funny. I haven’t seen anyone who advertises themselves as to the right of Biden make any jokes.

      The main problem I think most people have with “conservative humor” isn’t the fact it exists, but how aggressive they are in “advertising”. It’s basically trying to advertise straight porn in a gay night club and then calling everyone there a degenerate and deserve to be killed for not having the same fetish as you. Then after that bad experience they complain that they aren’t allowed back into the club. They aren’t a free speech warrior, they’re pieces of shit complaining that the 1st amendment also means that people don’t have to listen to their hate.

          (they removed referencing how Comedy is “being choked out”)Comedy is making more money than ever. you need to be not vague if you want to be impactful. You know…make a point. I feel like I was just complaining about people virtue signaling without making points. Would you like to try again?

            Norm wasn’t conservative humor, and yes comedy is being chocked out IMO which I am fully entitled to my opinion. Norm was a fucking great comedian. Sorry you don’t have a sense of humor.

          Except it doesn’t.

          The person above outlined how your argument is incorrect, using the example of conservative humor.

          If you think someone making racist jokes is funny, go watch them. Don’t get mad that lots of people think they’re a piece of unfunny shit.

          What is the real issue?

    • With how often I run into people who don’t even get super obvious jokes and take memes super seriously: It’s no surprise that the top comment in this thread says “most jokes aren’t funny and most comedians aren’t funny.” Nothing is funny when you lack a sense of humor.

      The downvotes and political tangent replies only confirm my opinion on the matter. Ya don’t have a sense of humor and just want to deflect from that fact by getting offended and it’s lame
