re: Is Samantha Bee The Worst "Comedian" On TV?

Carlin is the best at the craft. But if he were here, he would dress down Trump as much as he would make fun of Biden. It would be hilarious to some but not everyone. Many here would be pissed and honestly, I can't get why (hypothetically).

Not everyone is as enlightened as you Sao

What are your favorite Biden jokes told by late night comedians?

Well, duh

I can't stand her. But what I really can't stand is the fact that she and John Oliver even have jobs in this country commenting on American politics.

The rest of the Western world absorbs anything and everything about our culture. But we don't have any Americans hosting political commentary shows in Canada, The UK, South Africa, or Australia. Anyone know why?

Because it's none of our damn business. It's not John Oliver, Samantha Bee, or Trevor Noah's place to chime in on our politics either.

I don't know how you guys have left out Seth Meyers in this thread. He is the worst. I don't think he even tries to be funny or talented.

I think we're at a point where comedy is dead, at least from a mainstream perspective.

And that really sucks. There was a time when you could go to the movie theatre and there would always be a great comedy playing. Or you could turn on the TV any night and there would be a great sitcom, followed by a fun lighthearted late night show or sketch comedy. And stand up was consistently great too. If you needed a laugh, there were plenty of options.

And what these modern """comedians""" don't understand is that comedy is a great unifying force of social cohesion. Nobody cared what side of the tracks Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor came from because they were cool and funny. Nobody cared that America's favorite TV family, the Huxtables, were black - because they were cute and funny. Nobody cared that George Carlin and Bill Hicks didn't vote the way they did because they were witty. Nobody cared that Mel Brooks and half the writers in Hollywood went to synagogue, not church on weekends.

Back then it was understood that it "takes all kinds" to make an audience, but it takes a special talent to make them all laugh. Now they just ignore all traditional humor and talent and just attack anyone who doesn't think the way they want them to think and hope they develop enough of an echo chamber to stay afloat. And at this point they're all fighting over the same pathetic, miserable 10% of the population that would sit at home and stare at a dead cat if you hung a sign on it telling them what they want to hear.

Michael Savage is probably the funniest media conservative. I heard him do a routine you might call "Never Trust Anyone Named Bernie" once. The gist of it was that there have been probably 5-6 front page scandals perpetrated by men named Bernie in his lifetime. He does a pretty good Bernie Sanders impression somewhere in there.
