    same can be said for the other side too, right wing is corny, left wing is restrictive as to not offend people

    case in point: Dave Chappelles “Sticks and Stones” stand up

    look at the critic score compared to the audience score lol

    Beware when a right-winger is whining about others’ sensitivities. Often the problem is that their jokes are not funny.

    If something is funny, you can’t help but laugh. If people aren’t laughing, sorry, it wasn’t funny. Simple.

    Both the left and the right aren't funny

    Liberals think "Moscow Mitch" is funny

    and Republicans comedy is just "Liberals r p**** haha"

    And he's not a stereotypical conservative, he just pretends to be one sometimes.

    Because conservatism rarely allows nor has time for well-thought out creative expression

    This or in other words they’re dumb

    Im sorry but if you’re a conservative there is literally no way you’re a logically or emotionally intelligent person

    Comedy is literally emotional and logical intelligence

    opposite, I think the funniest people are more centrist. No real political loyalties

    I mean the South Park creators are libertarian and their show is hilarious

    You are right though with centrism. I think to be funny you have to be able to mix that blend of being shocking (essentially poking holes at liberal viewpoints) but still retain a sense of punching upwards (which is something conservatives rarely wish to do)

    It’s funny because I found the two most recent “right” stand ups to be Ricky Gervais at the Globes and that Chappelle standup where he just went off on the LGBTQ and pro abortion people and the Chinese and all that.

    Obv they’re far from right wing comedians but I saw a ton of right wing people back those specials extremely hard while liberals were moreso angry with them

    behaviorial patterns and social attitudes that correlate with many republican views are linked to lower cognitive ability and a subsequent lack of sense of humor

    left wing is restrictive as to not offend people

    You say this as if its a bad thing.

    it can be a bad thing. being offended is subjective, what one person in a given group finds offensive might not be offensive to another person in that same group

    so a subset of people within a group can then essentially dictate what the group as a whole should be offended about, which is restrictive, dominating, and a blatant misrepresentation, because the offended is usually a small subset compared to the larger population within the group

    now if the group as a whole or a majority of the group finds something offensive, then it’s offensive, but if only a small # of people within a group find something offensive, it’s usually not, and they just want to be mad about something

    • note: i tried to dictate that as clear as possible but to reiterate: i am talking at all people within a same group, i am not talking about people from a different group being able to dictate what another group is offended about. only people within the same group

    ehhh idk a lot of some of the best comics (Bill Burr, Louis, even Chapelle) have gotten a lot of heat from liberals in recent years who have called their work insensitive and say they have more conservative views.

    Man that's a stretch but I get what you saying. The only problem I have with him is he being African and talking about American politics. Kinda seems forced at times. Miss Hasan and Jessica Williams

    being sensitive to nuance and being creative USUALLY requires the ability to put yourself in someone elses shoes mentally... republicans usually shy away from that whole "imagine if it were you" idea
