Conservative comedy
Forums:
there isn't much of it or at least that i am aware of. all late night shows and high powered comedians seem to be firmly in the 'Leftist' camp.
do liberals have a monopoly on being funny? and then if so, why aren't republicans funny? i like a good racist joke every now and then but that seems to be all they got.

Not sure I'd put all the great comedians in the liberal camp. I think a lot hover in the center.
True that conservatives suck at comedy however. They are also terrible at sex, dancing, music and fashion.

i'm a big Bill Maher fan but even i'll admit he's a sexist and islamaphobe.

So you are too young to have ever seen "Johnny Carson" but he was considered a mainstream Rightist comedian back in the day.
He had a TV program called "The Tonight Show".
It really was not all that funny, but stayed on the air for decades.

I don't know if Kellyanne Conway is a conservative, but she's done some stand-up, although I wouldn't call it comedy.

I think it's because conservatives have trouble mocking themselves and taking jokes at their own expense. There are certainly lots of very uptight liberals, but it seems like the ability for self-reflection and criticism just doesn't exist as much in the right wing.

Dennis Miller. But since he became a right wing-nut he stopped being funny.

Not exactly true. Funny is funny, regardless of political leanings. The comedy biz is similar to the world of Scientology in the entertainment world. As soon as you poke fun at the "movement," work dries up. Offers don't come. Bookings don't come. That is why conservative leaning comics who want to keep working keep their leanings private. If they don't they become ex-comedians.

One would think that would be the case, Turtle. It isn't. Many of the top comedians of all time were/are miserable bastards with actions off the stage filled with contempt, anger and bile. Often the ones they hate the most are themselves.

Dennis Miller was funny when people who don't read couldn't understand his jokes.
Then he started tailoring them to people who can't read.

When you don't understand the joke, they're still funny.

I remember thinking parts of Miller's "Mr. Miller Goes To Washington" concert was pretty funny as a kid. He probably lost it sometime before his short lived Monday Night Football co-hosting gig when he seemed to try really hard to show how smart and funny he wasn't.

Colbert has been on fire lately - I record the Tonight show and watch without commercials and when I'm awake. The first 15 minutes is all political humor now - some of the best Colbert ever.

Promoters don't care if you're left, right or your act sucks. If you fill the seats you'll work.
