Hannity was putting forward a strong attempt today to imply that cops making traffic stops reduces murders, as he read off a list of cities and how their traffic stops had dropped by x% and their murder rates had risen by y%. He also talked about the Adam Toledo shooting a bit, he claims that apparently the evening news on one station edited out the sides of the footage which showed Toledo holding a gun? Then he went "Here's the audio from the body cam of the officer involved in the shooting" and that's when I turned it off since I had no desire to hear audio of a man being murdered.

Somewhere was talking about why conservative comedy somewhere and for me I think it's "THe Political Point Comes first. The Joke is secondary" It's also why King of the Hill works. Yes it's very conservative but for Mike Judge, Telling a story with good characters and jokes is the first priority.

After The War posted:Babylon Bee is supposed to be a conservative response to the Onion, but hyperbolic versions of conservative bullshit are indistinguishable from what they're already saying. It was supposed to be the evangelical version of The Onion. It had always been conservative but after the founder sold it, the new owner pretty drastically reduced the religious satire and doubled down on the political satire. He also, apparently, doesn't know that humor is supposed to try to be funny. BigRed0427 posted:It's also why King of the Hill works. Yes it's very conservative but for Mike Judge, Telling a story with good characters and jokes is the first priority. I honestly think King of the Hill worked for the same reason Bob's Burgers does, which is characterization. The Hills and the Belchers are both presented as so fundamentally decent people who so obviously love each other, you can't really help but root for them.

Yeah, I remember a few marginally funny self-depreciating religious headlines back when Babylon Bee was new. Like "gosh, aren't we so uptight?" style jokes. Now it's all "attack helicopter" poo poo over and over.

Now it's all "attack helicopter" poo poo over and over. The Babylon Bee was created by a guy named Adam Ford, who had a webcomic that essentially followed the same trajectory. Lots of "Ha ha, okay, I guess we ARE a little uptight about rock music" strips at first, then it slowly veered into "oh and by the way the proper place of the wife is as a submissive helpmeet, and if you support LGBT rights in any way you are dooming yourself and the ones you claim to love to eternal torment in hell, whoops I forgot to tell a joke!" by the end. Maybe "Evangelical Humor" is just inherently Like That.

BigRed0427 posted:Somewhere was talking about why conservative comedy somewhere and for me I think it's "THe Political Point Comes first. The Joke is secondary" I never got King of the Hill as conservative as opposed to having conservative characters. They learn new things, change some of their behavior and generally have arcs where they become better and less uptight/discriminatory people in one way or other. I am not that familiar with it though. "Conservative" anything art- (or entertainment) related is already doomed to fail because people usually don't want to create the same old things so in a way art is progressive by definition. The best or funniest stories no matter the medium aren't really about upholding the preceding circumstances.

There are a whole lot of King of the Hill episodes where the central conflict is "well-meaning but clueless and obnoxious liberal (or just "person with newfangled ideas") doesn't understand what's really going on and takes issue, then good ol' boy Hank sets 'em straight." It doesn't line up very well with modern Limbaugh-Hannity style movement conservatism, because what makes the whole thing work is the audience seeing that both sides are basically good people trying to do the right thing. But it's still conservative, because in the end, even though we might laugh a bit at Traditional Values, they're shown as mostly right.

I am not that familiar with it though. King of the Hill and Mike Judge are really good at taking the piss out of liberals. You can do "conservative comedy". I don't like Home Improvement but won't call it complete poo poo and at least I GET why some people think it's funny. People think it's never done but Portlandia, SNL and Christopher Guest movies pull off lampooning liberal stereotypes just fine. I dont think succesful comedy has as much to do with punching down as people say so much as simply avoiding cruelty for just the sake of being mean. poo poo just has to be clever and FUNNY in ways that shine light on things we don't expect or haven't viewed from a certain angle. But conservatives aren't smart, are cruel and are rarely clever so they're mostly not funny. Anyone heard anything about whoever is filling in for Rush? It must be hard for a lot of these types not knowing where to get their marching orders from or being told what to think about things. I guess Hannity is the next tier down for that sort of poo poo but, while he has the rhetoric down, he doesn't have Rush's talent or skill. The right really doesn't have anyone as good as Limbaugh was or with anything close to his skill set. What a shame.

One episode, Peggy thinks she's found some native artifacts and, consulting with the local CC professor, ends up getting a whole excavation site happening in Hank's yard (killing his grass). There's some stuff with John Redcorn, but the brunt of the episode is the cool smart professor And Peggy vs big dumb hick Hank. The professor reveals that he's using Peggy's overinflated ego to further his own goals, Hank pushes him into the dig pit repeatedly. Common sense triumphs over smarmy academia. Or the one where Bobby gets recruited to be a plus size child model to Hank's horror. He's eventually selected to headline a big local showcase. Hank pulls him at the last minute, and shortly afterwards some teens bombard the models with donuts in an act of sheer malice. On the ride home it's basically "Wow, thanks dad", and it's a weird reinforcement of :don't do stuff like that because it's weird and weirdos will hate you for it".

No, they assume that AA means unqualified people get put into these spots but they still must reach the same standards as anyone else (unlike legacy students who buy their way into school like this guys kids will do). They do this anytime a minority gets the ability to be put into a position that they normally hold.

BiggerBoat posted:Anyone heard anything about whoever is filling in for Rush? FlamingLiberal posted:I think it was Dan Bongino? Dan Bongino just replaced Rush's show on some radio stations. He didn't actually take over Limbaugh's show. Currently Rush Limbaugh's show has a few rotating guest hosts. The ones I know are Brett Winterble, Todd Herman, Ken Matthews, and Mark Steyn. There's probably a couple of others but those are the most common ones. Kathryn Limbaugh (Rush's wife) also shows up to co-host sometimes since it's pretty clear she's desperate to keep his grift train running so she can profit. Hell they're still running ads to try and get people to subscribe to Rush 24/7, where you can hear audio clips of Rush saying some stuff that might sorta be relevant to current events, maybe! I'm actually really interested to see how long they can keep Rush's show going in this weird zombie format. It clearly isn't working, because the guest hosts are less talented than Rush, they're just playing clips that anyone who has been a long time listener to Rush has already heard, and stations are dropping Rush's show so people have something fresh and new to listen to instead of hearing Rush go off about Bill Clinton's impeachment.
