post good woke comedians...


I don't believe they exist. so post them up for me

We have many many unwoke comedians, so surely there are some woke ones.
dont ask me what woke means. if you are that stupid, stay out of this thread.

Tim Heidecker is a funny guy, or used to be. He's woke as fuck.

reply

hmmmmm 8 minutes in, nothing I could see was funny or a joke yet....

reply

8 mins of what? I have no idea what you are watching.

first 5 min was fumbling with mic stand, acting mad about it.
Then after wasting more time on fake improv - like literally trying to just kill time - he talks about doing stuff.
He's got the delivery, mannerisms, and voice, but no jokes, just reiterating stuff.

Everyone is allowed to enjoy different styles of comedy, so, to me, this guy wasn't funny.

I'll look for another video but he's not very popular I guess

reply

Sometimes these people are funnier in certain environments, I'm not sure I've seen his stand up. I'll have a look at that when I get home.

It does sound like he's doing his awkward schtick, which sounds about right.

reply

yeah its totally about the awkward. I do get that, but it didn't work FOR ME. Everyone is different.

tried his fake trial, and although there was some absurdist in it, none of that was absurdist/funny to me like monty python etc.
we're all differenent.

never got the impression he is "woke" IE making sure not to offend any one, and all inclusive jokes

reply

He's s raging woker.
You're looking for actual woke comedy?

reply

well... my concept is "Woke Comedy" as the polar opposition of "anti-woke comedy".

All the non-woke comedians that make fun of whites, blacks, gays, what have you.... meaning WOKE Comedians will DEI the funny and not make fun of anything or anyone that could be triggered, offended, mad and protest the comedy to get them cancelled.

so, if dave chappelle is cracking jokes about trannys being not WOKE, where is the polar opposite of this and is it funny?

reply

i'm not positive WOKE COMEDY can even exist

reply

The smart ones know woke is a comedy vacuum and avoid, like TH. 😄

The closest you're going to get is jokes about white males, trump and right wingers, that's nice and safe.

reply

Louie CK is pretty woke .
He did a whole bit about how white men have had it too good for too long that would absolutely outrage the angry "I'm so persecuted" white guy brigade here .


but perhaps all that sexual harrassment and objectification of women balances it out for them.

reply

i think he covers BOTH segments a lot. I'd consider him more anti-woke than woke, but I get what you mean when he calls out white men groups. and he's not wrong and it makes for good comedy too.

reply

He has to pander a little bit to disarm people for the racist stuff he is going to say later. I’m not saying he is a racist, but he likes to push boundaries. He also says the N word with a hard er a lot, and he gets away with it.

Woke = being aware of and attentive to important issues, especially those related to racial and social justice.

Therefore

Anti-woke = racist, misogynistic, anti-LGBTQ, bigot

Howard Stern was into anti-woke humor.
