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

14. I think the main model is "Mallard Fillmore", the funniest thing about which...

...is the fact that it owes its continued existence to a quota system. Gotta balance out "liberal" strips like Doonsbury (and, in the past, Bloom County and The Boondocks) to get conservatives to complain at 3 decibels lower than usual.

The "joke" is always the same: Liberals are stupid and venal, Liberals are stupid and venal, Liberals are stupid and venal, etc. ad nauseum.

Never do they do what their "opposite numbers" have done, wandering off on their own tangents and, from time to time, poking fun at themselves.




The thing is, "Mallard" has relatively low overhead, can be read in a few seconds, and usually comes as a freebie in someone else's publication. Not really enough to support a TV show, at least not without heavy subsidy.
