Not looking to discuss politics. I’m just trying to find the humour in left-wing mainstream comedy.

I’ve tried watching at least 30 movies and as far as I can tell it’s the same two tropes. Someone who is usually smart does something obviously stupid or they are uninformd about something and everyone is shocked that they just don’t get it with a “seriously bro” type of comment. Or the other trope when someone who is super serious becomes upset because someone shocked them with their progressive views with a “yeah that’s how it’s done” type of comment.

What’s funny about that?

    The last special I watched Maher do, he was very explicit about being conservative and the material very much conveyed that thinking. It’s why I don’t bother with him anymore.

      I would say that’s unfortunate, but at least he’s being honest now. IDK, even when he had a good point it was always presented in the most insufferable way imaginable.
