Ben Shapiro said AI could take over his job of writing things.
After reading the shitty things AI put out, everyone agreed he, and he alone, could be replaced by AI.
Behind The Bastards podcast did several episodes where they read from his novel "True Allegiance" and boy is it every bit as racist as it is terrible! But I love what a blatant self-insert the whole thing is. That part cracks me up. Ben's protagonist is a handsome six-foot+ man's man named Brett who is not only the youngest General in the US Army but he definitely doesn't have a squeaky voice and people would never dare tease him and he totally got invited to lots of of parties in college too.
I'd highly recommend searching for a Spotify playlist called "Behind the Bastards: True Allegiance" if you want a waste a couple hours with some comedy gold.
Take a bullet for you babe
I've listened and even relistened to them, it's so entertaining lol
I'm sure Brett's future wife has a pussy so dry it sounds like sandpaper rubbing against itself with every step she takes in the stiletto heels she has to wear to be tall enough to be kissed by Brett.
You'd think he'd be sucking off Brett Cavanaugh.
A good portion of the blue collar guys were funny, modern “conservatives” are just blatant bigots
None of the conservative influencers have ever held a job (that didn't depend on being bankrolled by some conservative billionaire).
I’ll die on the hill that Jeff Foxworthy is funny as fuck. Ron White isn’t really bad albeit he’s just a really good storyteller, Larry the Cable Guy was always way too much gimmick for my taste but he was mostly fart jokes or the equivalent, Bill Engvall is the most fortunate man in the history of comedy because his ceiling would be traveling youth pastor had he not hitched his wagon to the others
Edit: and while it was clear they were conservative, they were never racist as far as I remember, although reflecting they were probably at least a tad sexist and homophobic, and I’m not gonna apologize for them if my memory is wrong
Edit 2: fuck I forgot about 9/11, Larry the cable guy for sure used the fuck out of that, retract the not racist bit, it was par for the course at the time but that’s no excuse
Close. Conservative comedy is about punching down, which can never be funny.
"The One Joke" is just its current, culturely relevant iteration. In 10-20 years, it'll be "climate refugees...am I right?"
Conservative comedy has been terrible for a very long time. Fox News tried to compete with Comedy Central (really) by releasing their own 'Daily Show' called The Half-Hour News Hour. I watched one episode and it was painfully unfunny. For example, this was when Obama was a rising star and they did a bit that lasted at least five minutes about how bad Obama smells because his initials are B.O.
Even back then before I knew who Obama really was, I thought, "isn't this like a joke from a radio show from the 40s? Who uses the term 'B.O.' anymore?"
There have been some very funny right-wing comedians. The ones already mentioned are good examples. Another is P.J. O'Rourke, who wrote some hilariously funny books, in part because he had no problem attacking his side as much as attacking the left.
That may be the biggest problem with conservative comedians today- they only attack the left. They don't hold a mirror up to themselves. Some of the best comedy is self-reflection and they aren't capable of self-reflection.
Don't forget that conservative comedy then also was lame: https://youtu.be/DDimQTJMjB0?si=ufgOX4eM6Q3cUVQ4
Mustn't forget this gem.
So glad you shared this, David Cross is pretty cool.
Remember when fox thought they could be funny?
Comedy has to have an element of truth.
Gov. Mike Huckabee, his left eye rolling independently: "Ever noticed that Barack HUSSEIN Obama is a secret Muslim werewolf who hates America?"
Nonagenarian audience: "Ha, ha, ha. This humorous whippersnapper is the bee's knees"Conservative comedy is generally racist, too
The only conservative joke I have heard in the past decade that made me even snicker was one called the new math Obamacore.
At one point, I toyed with the idea of a Twitter bot that only replied to Mike Huckabee's tweets and only with the phrase, "you're not funny."
It has definitely changed. You can't compare Imus on his worst day vs that YouTube guy PJ on his best day. They aren't even doing the same sport. At some point it just went from gentle teasing to vicious. I liked King of the Hill even when the enemy of the week was leftwing, because rarely was the enemy of the week evil they just had some kooky ideas. There is a difference between telling someone that they are being silly and telling someone that they are raping children.
There were also plenty of times where Hank Hill figured out he was being too uptight.
KOTH fairly regularly has the left wing dude be right and Hank learn a lesson. In general, Mike Judge takes a pretty equal number of shots at everyone.
pronouns lol!
punching is a vector that, generally, should increase in y coordinates regardless of x
Being a failed artist turned political influencer has been a time honored tradition for the far right for nearly 100 years
Joe McCarthy started out in standup, true story.
I agree with this so bad! Comedy is a joke for the most part.. maybe YouTube ruined it? Maybe not. Just watch Kill Tony for:
- Easy racist (but not funny) jokes
- Trans jokes
- More racist jokes
- Lib/Republican divide
- Vaccines!
Because he killed him
Honestly I'm finding that's just political humour today it's all just "this is my view… laugh" quite frankly that just kinda goes with both sides so yeah fuck political issues in intertainment it's obvious no one can make a good joke using this stuff
It's absolutely not "both sides", and you know it
With conservatives they are rather boring blokes but good god can you even find one good joke made by left as far as I've seen everyone who has taken the time to pick a side and make jokes about the topic they usually don't have a sense of humor at all so yea i genuinely think it's both sides
