Conservative comedians aren't comedians, they're just guys who become popular because they say a lot of racist things with a funny look on their face.

Yeah the whole "comedy punches up" thing is a silly trope. Plenty of good comedy is mean spirited or just doesn't punch up or down, it's irrelevant.

Oh, okay, load me up with examples of funny comedy that makes fun of poor people and minorities.

I obviously can't watch the entire thing to pick out examples right now, but Bill Burr is hilarious. What in particular are you thinking of that is punching down? He is constantly making fun of yuppies and hipsters and white folks and people who worship Steve Jobs.

You're putting me in the position of having to explain jokes here, but that entire first bit is in the context of making fun of himself and all men for being hair-trigger morons.

Self-deprecating humor is great, like that Bill Burr bit. And I think a lot of you mistake "writing clearly" for "anger" tbh

XyloJW posted:

I'm saying the whole "comedy has to punch up to be funny" is not true.

Well I mean obviously there is comedy that is just about a dog falling off a pier or something. The point is that a powerful person making fun of a powerless one isn't funny. The "not punching down" part is more important than the "punching up" part.

that actually reminds me of another piece of downwards punching comedy and that's eddie murphy. both raw and delirious have some very 80's jokes about homosexuals. and there's definitely some stuff in there that could be seen as misogynistic (especially in raw), but i'm more inclined to just saying that it's down to murphy being incredibly jaded during that time. funny, tho.

The "faggots can't look at my rear end when I walk, I can tell because it gets hot" bit is funny because of his massive paranoia about being called homosexual. He said that the worst part about getting AIDS was that the doctor would think he was gay. Turned out there was a little behind his homophobia.

It's inadvertently funny.

I actually remember having this discussion and coming up with honest-to-goodness, conservative, down-punching humor: bear-baiting.

I think he's talking specifically about some people on this forum reacting poorly when confronted by Americans about it.

It's tough wrapping your head around being lectured by Americans. Some of us are the worst enslavers, enforcers, and bigots on the planet. On the other hand, others of us have pretty much hammered out modern human rights and are your benevolent kings, to whom all other nations may look for wise guidance. :911:
