"Looks like you hate free speech because you think I'm an asshole" -conservatives, 100% of the time.

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago

I couldn't say I didn't watch the new Chappelle specials for MONTHS because there's no world where I just didn't give a crap about some old comedian whose been holed up for 20 years - it could only be because I hate free speech and personally killed comedy.

I can not FUCKING STAND this new conservative take that even not paying them attention is hurrdurr woke evil commie shit.

It's a great thing Facebook and the small subreddit I manage aren't the government!

Right wing humor separates oxy from moron. That's their science.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 9 points 5 months ago

They then put it back on contin, which helps with the pain. Initially

Conservatives: "Hey want to hear a joke?" Transphobia

Followed by hur hur hur.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 5 months ago

Then why is no one booking me, I must be getting canceled!

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Remember when douche bags were as shitty as humanly possible to everyone until they were called out just for them to say i WaS jUsT jOkInG?!

Now they preemptively call anything a joke.

Life eh…finds a way.

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

The ol shit joke

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The problem is that humor is often baded upon the subversive of expectations, so if a right wing person want to be funny they have to make a joke that the world is somehow different than the idiotic view they have of it. Often this ends up just describing reality cruelly. For example, a man dressing up as a woman is instantly funny, because as everyone knows there are only two genders and they have roles.

In a safe place, so she could use them to extort favors out from the other survivors.

The other 10% is "atheists pray to the nothing, amiright?" Not so much offensive as completely misunderstanding on a deliberate level.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

The misunderstanding is deliberate. That way they have something additional to attack.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 15 points 5 months ago

"You are a horrible person based not on the merits of what you do, but because you exist at all!" taps microphone "Wait, why didn't you laugh? That was the joke!"

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Tangential but Jim Jefferies had a good trans bit in his standup. I think it's called High & Dry.

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He's hilarious and also not right wing

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I know, that's why I said tangential.

transgenital

Come on, it was right there. Dangling.

"Ha ha, people who don't fit my extremely narrow worldview of being acceptable suck so much and people like me are so awesome!"

conservatives: edgy humor

liberals: conservatives are nazis

conservatives: WHAT NO YOU CAN'T SAY THAT

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Oh no, comedy has gone woke.

I can't wait to hear what his AI Force Ghost has to say

such tragedy!

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Your boos mean nothing! I've seen what makes you cheer.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Conservative "humor" is always dumb, blunt and obvious.

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Nope. They're all just so unfathomably, insanely stupid that it actually infuriates me

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't know what the appeal is of being a conservative. It's like being a degen on Letterkenny.

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That is shockingly correct

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

"What do degens like? Hanging bedsheets in windows. Putting gasoline on fires"

I know anti right-wing humor exists (E.g making fun of right-wing hypocrisy), but does left wing humor exist?

What are some good left wing jokes?

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 17 points 5 months ago

George Carlin has entered the chat.

Lol, maybe “We don’t change light bulbs. We make you switch back to kerosene lamps.”

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I think now its "we don't change the light bulbs but go back to using magic" because history is also something conservatives don't like

The Onion is chock-a-block full of them.

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

q: How many Republicans does it take to change a light bulb?

a: pointing at a burned-out bulb: "We already changed it, can't you see it's working perfectly? Nothing's good enough for you people. What do you want us to change it to now, a gas-light?"

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

“DAE hate gays!?!” Puppet farts, crowd goes wild

[–] unreasonabro@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago
