Christian conservatives do not have a reputation for being funny. The language of the right has more often been outrage, while liberals dominated comedy through shows such as “Politically Incorrect” and “The Daily Show”. But some are poking fun at the left’s pieties with satire.


I didn’t make it past this stupid paragraph. Has anyone ever read Babylon Bee and thought it was some sort of Christian Conservative counter culture?

The only reason the left has dominated comedy is because the right isn’t allowed to participate

Yes, I believe they have.

And to an extent, it is. You know this is true because their articles are posted on this right-leaning forum on the reg.

To be a leftist you have to pretend not to know things. This is one of them.

I’ve never been to the site before, but the content I’ve seen posted from them is is so unfunny and unoriginal it makes sense that people on this board would like it.

To be fair the daily show was pretty funny 20 years ago

That’s because you’re a leftist and you’ve allowed your brain to be programmed to accept nothing but misery.

Try thinking for yourself, I promise it just might help

Comedy is not funny to those who wear their feelings inside their yoga pants, soiboi.

Well, some of those “leftist” comedians weren’t exactly practitioners of woke practices not all that long ago, a la the Jimmy Kimmel schmuck who used to objectify women with the best of them.

Self-aggrandizing and insulting posts on anonymous message boards are pretty unfunny and unoriginal.

Unlike the Bee and its 25 mil readers each month, no one really cares what you have to say.

Go be triggered somewhere else.

Conservative and libertarian comedians rely heavily on observational humor…..most of their material comes from observing the unhinged and kooky progressives.

I'll admit, generally, the left is more creative at comedy than tbe right is.
However, since muxh3 humor is made by picking on stereotypes and the fact that the lefts are under orders not to make fun of anyone other than white males, their humor subjects have been reduced almost to zero.
