wiffleball 4,645 Posted July 26, 2018 https://thefederalist.com/2018/07/23/snl-writer-michael-che-criticizes-unfunny-comedy-culture/ Selected comments. Read the whole thing. what the f-ck are we gonna do about all this anti-comedy comedy that these A students keep shoveling out? I mean what the f-ck is going on..? one or two, ok.. but theres like 3 of them now! and its becoming a g-dd-mn mild inconvenience. what the f-ck Netflix? give them n-ggas another section! call it standup tragedy. -------------- Che references recent Netflix comedy specials that seem to favor political correctness over humor. Hannah Gadsbys recent stand-up special titled Nanette ditches jokes and instead talks about her life as a queer woman. She also discusses, in detail, being raped and sexually assaulted. Che seems to reference this in his next story, which says rape stories arent comedy. -------- ya know some critics say rape jokes arent funny. but you know whats DEFINITELY not funny? rape stories. just flat out, fully detailed rape stories. I dunno about you, but that hasnt made me laugh once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,645 Posted July 26, 2018 It's funny, Hannah gadsby is actually on Fallon tonight. Another one on Conan tonight as a repeat is Tig Notaro. Never heard Gatsby, but Tig Notaro is comedy to slash your wrists by. It's not comedy at all. First time I heard it was on NPR and I thought they're having a Telethon. Another one that's gone right around the bend is Whitney Cummings. She used to be funny and kind of hot. Now she's just a lunatic. At least she admits it. She's on full on psycho watch. But maybe your stand-up routine isn't the best place to share that with the world? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,645 Posted July 26, 2018 Liberals are miserable people. Maybe on this board everything's black hats and white hats, but I'm old enough to remember some pretty miserable son of bitches who wanted to label every song and movie and lost their absolute for nipplegate. And they were clearly in the James Dobson, Newt Gingrich , hypocritical fundamentalist evengelical Christian Camp. So I think it kind of runs the gamut.

wiffleball 4,645 Posted July 26, 2018 Just glad to see Michael Che pick up the ball. Seems like all the other ones run away to their little podcasts and wine but never stand up for anything. Damn man, it's your profession that you're seeing go down the tubes. Maybe stand up and say something about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,645 Posted July 26, 2018 Just peeked in on her. She's this huge dude looking very large completely unfunny Australian bich. I mean, if she's going to do any show, felons the right one. He fake laughs and sucks up to every guest. Hell he sucked up to Trump. But wow. Unfunny, unattractive, uninteresting, unwatchable. Michael Che definitely nailed this one. I don't mean it that way.

MDC 5,895 Posted July 26, 2018 I watched that Nanette show. The first 10 minutes or so were funny. Not great but watchable. The last 45 minutes werent comedy at all. Maybe that was her intent I dont know. I blame Netflix or whoever for mislabeling it stand up comedy when it really wasnt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 3,455 Posted July 26, 2018 It does make sense that comedians would join the struggle against the maoist left attempting to rise, they are easy targets for the totalitarian tilt of the social justice warriors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem being most of them are poor and can';t pay to go to shows. There is a YOOGE comeuppance coming for performers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only stomach about 5 minutes of him before I need to switch the channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
