Those actors/actresses/artists aren’t left per se.
I'm not talking about hollywood actors, to be honest, as I don't think acting is an expression of "creativity" in this context.
If you look at who is WRITING the good films, books, and music, they are overwhelmingly left of center. This isn't even debatable.

Wait, you don't find "her" attractive?
Trigglypuff either?

Hence anti-humor becomes hilarious.
“How many women does it take to change a light bulb?
“OMG! That is sexist!”

Can't debate that. Definitely true.
Then why is internet humor different? Is it a generational thing? Are the 4Chan youth your future comedy, etc writers?

To be funny, you can't be focused on offending people. Simple. The SJW wing of the democratic party is about as joyless and humorless as they come.
There are some examples of funny waaaaay far leftist comedians, but the meme boat has been missed.

They aren't. The right is uninventive and lacks creativity more than any other group on the planet. There are, however, a bunch of young trolls who identify themselves as right-wingers strictly because they hate social justice. Some of them are funny.
In general, almost all the world's creative spark and humor comes from Liberal people. Don't get excited over the one time in history that a bunch of so-called conservatives were actually funny
I mean, you do realize that you get blackballed if you're a comedian and conservative now don't you? It's impossible to break into Hollywood or media unless you're a liberal.
With regards to memes, you really have no idea what you're talking about. Leftist memes tend to be very wordy while right memes focus on being short and to the point.
You are right that for a long time the left used to be funny but that's because they were allowed to offend people. Now? Their memes are sanitized to the point of insanity and if someone takes offense they apologize. It's impossible to be funny in this environment as you're always walking on eggshells.
What has allowed the right to become funny is their willingness to offend anyone and everyone. Bantz (or banter if you will) are a huge part of right wing culture nowadays, especially those who read /pol/ or other far right places. Not even South Park is willing to go where the far right goes.

Internet humor is to the right because the barriers to entry and be read are nil.
Writing for TV and movies has been owned by the hard left since about the 50s due to policies of the screenwriters guild, where you pretty much had to get the OK of hard left bigwigs within the guild in order for the script to be approved for studio production.

It's a generational issue. The overwhelming majority of funny people on the internet are right wing because they care nothing about offending people. They won't break into mainstream media though because wrongthink is not allowed there.

Because the left does not know de way

Because the left is humorless, miserable, fragile, and thin skinned.

That’s because most of those types are ‘dreamers’ (not in an illegal immigration sense) but more of a type of mindset. Most of those still believe in the Liberal fallacy that presents a modern utopia as an attainable scenario, when it’s simply not.

Looks like you've got it all figured out!

I look at it as the jocks vs the nerds to be honest. Every leftie I’ve ever met was a huge loser/nerd.

LOL. The left dominate the arts, literature, etc.
There is a lot of selection bias going on there. Most of what we are seeing in the arts nowadays are rehashes of the past

Both memes you posted are completely unfunny. Those are liberal versions of r/forwardsfromgrandma. You’re proving the point of the OP with those lame memes.

Yeah there so great , you didn’t even provide one single example

And (whitehouse aside) the left is in power.
This certainly has something to do with it. Great point.
