If you want a job, you can get a job

First sentence of the article:

I have always thought that conservatives have a much less developed sense of humor than liberals.

Gee, I wonder what he's going to find?

Then, as Trek already pointed out, the study uses Colbert as the barometer. A comedian who routinely bashes conservatives is found to be less funny by his targets. What a shocker.

If you watch the video, even as a liberal, you’ll cringe at what you see. I mean, Colbert was at his satirical best and very, very, funny, but you almost (and I underscore “almost”) feel sorry for poor W. being subjected to such obvious abuse to his face.

That's where a lot of comedy has gone wrong lately. It's past joking and right into verbal abuse and outright attacks of their targets. Of course, liberals find that hilarious. Oh the comedic genius of holding a presidents bloody head.

Jesus, the whole point of posting that was a joke. Hence the fucking wink. Do you think I didn't read it?
QED - the right has no sense of humour.

HM still reeling from not being funny and failing to sway people on his “one comedy” theory.

Please direct me to the other kind of comedy that doesn't upend expectations.

Moving goal posts doesn’t make you funnier.

Why are you so invested in me finding your typical, erroneous, leftist-condescension to be hilarious? You’re playing to the wrong crowd. Put your material on Tumblr and you’ll get the social rewards you’re seeking. You have to take your cult material to the cultists, It doesn’t have broad appeal.

Yeah, the right wing never does such things, the little darlings.

Which comedians were those Kath? Your examples were not people claiming they were trying to be funny.

QED - the right has no sense of humour.

QED - The left is not funny.

The guy who wrote the article seemed pretty serious about it.

That's what was funny

Not as funny as you getting your knickers in a twist over it though, that's gold.

I can only assume you are making this about me because you can't find an example.

My point wasn't viewpoint specific, it was about the structure of a punchline. If you find an example, I would still be curious to see it.

This is a teaching moment. It was never comedy.

Kath just implicitly confirmed this by equating Griffin's terror photo with those images above.

So you’re suffering under the impression that I haven’t proven that comedy beyond “disparaging normalcy” exists, therefore I’m on the run and dodging your killer one-comedy takedown?



Well that IS funny.

I’m going to take the extremely rare step of assuming that even the “common man” can name a comedy type beyond “disparaging normalcy”, and just keep feeding you rope.

A stooges behavior is abnormal. Sort of by definition. The Three Regular Guys with Steady Jobs that Never Get Hurt or Inappropriately Violent with Each Other would not have been a very popular show.

Please explain what you mean by "upend expectations".
