Is Anything Funny Anymore?


Even comedy that was once regarded as liberal irony (mocking sexist and racist attitudes), no longer seems so funny in this day and age. It's just depressing.

It feels to me that comedy is dead, and without comedy to make us smile and cheer us up, what's the point? 🤷‍♂️

I will always enjoy what I have before: Monty Python, stand up comedians - and now I look for the even more raunchy and offensive ones to support that. It's insane to protect everyone. If one doesn't like it, don't watch it. Don't get it banned.

Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Chappel, Bill Burr (not REALLY offensive unless you are a moron), Gaffican, Jimmy Carr,

jsut found Nate Bargatze who's off beat delivery and responses is hilarious while not filthy, nor offensive. he's pretty funny to me, and large audeinces.

I plan to see Barbie film as an offbeat comedy, looks kinda funny to me. didn't at first, now it does.

Comedy is not dead, but reposistioning and the good part is, we can ALWAYS stikll enjoy the good old offensive kind whenever we want.
