Anybody notice this about American comedians?

Question

Conservative comedians aren't funny, and liberal comedians are funny, but only when they're pretending to be conservatives(obviously only talking about political comedy). Why d'you think that is? It's easier to be funny when you're a conservative, but so few of them take that route. Cept maybe Ann Coulter.

Answer 1

I've noticed the same thing. The Half Hour News Hour just sucks... almost as badly as the Daily Show sucks. Colbert is funny, but that's because he thinks he's Bill O'Reilly. I don't really know why this is. I think that liberals can only be clever when demeaning the other side and that conservatives are too mature and focused to worry about comedy. They are down to business.

Answer 2

Jon Stewart does not pretend to be a Conservative and he is hilarious. It's easier to make fun of conservatives because they are so stiff and square.

Answer 3

Drew Carey and Jeff Foxworthy are conservative and I find them funny,

Answer 4

I'm getting pretty fed up with comedians in general. Apparently it's okay for black people to make jokes about white people, make movies about crazy black people marrying white people, and getting offended when they're called black instead of "african american". But can you imagine if white commedians made fun of black people's big asss's? Made fun of their love of watermelon? Made commedy movies about white people marrying black people? Al Sharpton would be beating down their doors. Indeed......racism is alive and well in America!

Answer 5

You think making jokes about liberals isn't funny? Actually we don't need conservative comedians because we already have liberals. I'm laughing just thinking about it.

Answer 6

think you mean United Statesian comedians, not American.

You see, there is no such a thing as ‘American’ nationality, America is not a nation America is a continent with many nations in it. The US never named itself the name of the United States is a designation it comes from the end of the Declaration of Independence, "WE, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS, Assembled...". The preamble to the U.S. Constitution reiterated the phrase: "We the People of the United States..." (The authors of these two documents probably used the phrase "united states" in place of a list of colonies/states because they remained uncertain at the time of drafting which colonies/states would sign off on the sentiments therein.) The geographic term "America" specifies the states' home on the American continent.

It is therefor incorrect to refer to US citizens as Americans with the intent of denoting citizenship, or the United States as America with the intent of denoting a nation. Americans have a term for US citizens, we are called United Statesians by the rest of Americans, to say American with the intent of denoting citizenship or America when we mean the United States reflects poorly on our attitude towards the 70% of Americans that are not United Statesians.

Also, although some people would like to believe that America is not one but two continents, North America and South America. If you think about it though, the term U.S. of A. is a glaring example that this line of thought is incorrect, if America was two continents instead of one, shouldn’t it be U.S. of N.A. (North America)? We say Columbus discovered..... ? AMERICA, not South America or North America.

Lastly, while everybody in America from Nome to Patagonia, from Easter Island to Greenland is an American, not every United Statesian is an American. For instance, Hawaiians are as United Statesians as they come, but they ARE NOT Americans, they are Pacific Islanders.

Hope that helps.
