Oh boy. Ooooh boy. There is a new conservative comedy-show hosted by a MAGA. And it's so bad. [View all]

It's due next month and they have released segments as teasers. I made it halfway through the 8-minute teaser before I gave up. The only funny bit was where they compared Julian Assange to Tom Hank's character in castaway.

Let's consider for example the bit about illegal immigration:
1. The host tells the audience that the Trump-administration is doing everything to secure the border.
2. Then the host imitates Pelosi/Schumer admitting that illegal immigrants vote for Democrats.
3. Up next, he reads out an AOC-tweet where she calls on the US to focus on the underlying causes of immigration, like climate-change.
4. Not even adressing her point, the host calls her an idiot.
End of segment.

That's not comedy. He's parroting republican talking-points while insulting Democrats. How is that funny?
- There is no transition from reality to the bizzare. Does he even know that the Trump-administration refused a democratic offer to secure the border because it would have saved DACA? Does he even recognize that the immigration-policies of the Trump-administration are intentionally cruel by their own admission?
- Does he even know that no Democrat has ever said something like that? Does he know that illegal immigrants can't vote?
- And AOC's tweet would have been a chance to call her out and criticize her, to explain to the audience why she's wrong! And what do we get instead? "You're an idiot!"



You cannot have comedy if you refuse to accept reality in the first place.

One more piece of evidence that conservatives can't do comedy. And when people refuse to watch that boring and cringy shit, conservatives will cry discrimination.
