Apparently Joe Rogan did a special recently and spent some time making transphobic jokes. Although, he “does” say it’s okay to be trans or something but then makes transphobic jokes. He even does a “did you assume my gender?” joke in the year 2024. Definitely bleeding edge there Joe.
I think there can be good conservative jokes or whatever jokes to be honest. It just takes a lot more work. I think a lot of comedians are getting scared the zeitgeist is changing and they don’t know how to adapt their work. However, you’re comedians, figure it out.
Cody’s showdy had an episode about conservative comedy and specifically made a point to say conservative comedy is possible and was a thing until recently all these hacks forgot what to do. He even gave several examples. My favorite was one from a brexiteer if you can believe it.
Damn just watched the two hour video on SOME MORE NEWS. It really illustrates the problem with a lot of conservative comedy and also really broke down the stuff that bugged me about Dave Chappelle’s bits.
