Why Aren't Conservatives Funny?
And, yes, this is on-topic.
FUX News will begin airing its right-wing version of "The Daily Show" this Sunday.
Here's a clip from "The Half-Hour News Hour."
Obviously canned laughter, belabored "jokes," lame premises...
I think about Rush Limbaugh's mocking Michel J. Fox's Parkinson's Disease. The Limbaugh-tomized masses just think he's a hoot. John Stewart, is a liberal but his targets span the entire political spectrum. Dennis Miller was never the epitome of wit but after 9/11 he shifted far to the Right and has been left with Al-Gore-is-stiff jokes regarding global warming. Hillary's fat. Chelsea is "the White House dog."
There may seem to be a lot of anger in some liberal comedy, but right-wingers tend to be laced with hate. And they're not funny.
How come, do ya think?

Because there's an agenda. This show's obviously meant as a retort to the Conservative jokes. It's "I know you are but what am I?".

I just watched an old Bill Maher concert. He said when he votes for a Republican he wants two things, a *** and a square. He wants to know that when mommy, the Democrat, is spending too much money he (the Republican) will intervene.
What we have now is different.
It's more like mommy and daddy both run up the credit cards but with different stores.
Anyway, I'm trying to think of some c

Conservatives are plenty funny. Look at ... oh you know who. The problem is most of the humor would at least make the 11 oclock news as an example of racist diatribe if not trigger law suites.

Good comedy comes from the ability to explore all sides of an issue. Since Conservatives have such a narrow point of view, they simply cannot do that.

Good humor comes from taking an idea or event, and looking at it from a new and unexpected POV. Rose-colored blinkers do not provide (or even allow) n

[nq:1]That raises an interesting question. I certainly think that Bill Maher is pretty funny, and I wouldn't exactly call him ... so long as the guy that's doing it is smart and isn't simply lashing out in a stumble-footed way. NMS[/nq]
Bill Maher used to be funn
