re: Conan O'Brien not a fan of comedians relying on hate of Trump, instead of actual comedy
Posted by PowerTool on 1/8/26 at 10:24 pm to hawgfaninc
Reminds me of something Norm MacDonald said often, that you can't really do comedy about someone you hate. It isn't funny if it's projecting hatred.
I think it's harder to do political comedy today because we're so inundated w/ political messaging across all media today. Most people want a break from that and a chance to escape real life. The niche audiences that exist for Kimmel or Colbert are just flipping the channel over from news or talk shows, trying to keep their hate endorphins ginning. But network shows are designed to maintain engagement for small targeted consumer segments, not to entertain a broad audience.
When I go to stand up comedy open mics, I hardly see any attempts at political humor, because they get no reactions from a real live audience that doesn't have TV producers telling them when to applaud and editing the sound.

The Film Actors Guild loved the movie.

“One Battle After Another” dominated nominations to the Actor Awards on Wednesday, with Paul Thomas Anderson’s ragtag revolutionary saga landing a record seven nods in the annual SAG-AFTRA honors.
In the 31 years of the Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards, no movie has received more than five nominations. Along with a nod for the guild’s top award, best ensemble, the cast of “One Battle After Another” was showered with nominations for Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro and its stunt performers.

Never saw it as a kid, only found it on TV a year or two ago on. It's definitely a little darker/creepier than your average puppet movie.

Did you just start the show? I feel like it's pretty well explained in the flashbacks by the end of Season 1.

Going out on a limb to make a bold claim, but this may be the most talented University of Wisconsin-River Falls defense I've ever watched.

Snyder’s turn around there was using lots of JUCO guys, which produced quicker results. He had a lot of haters for using so many JUCO.
Yeah, some people almost put asterisks next to his wins because of all the JUCO guys who either couldn't qualify or didn't want to sit out a year transferring. Bishop was a well known HS recruit, at least in the Houston area, but a lot of teams deemed him undersized and wanted him to convert to DB. Snyder got credit for taking him at QB after he played at Blinn.
