Who is funnier the left or the right? Is this serious? ALL of the great satirists and comedians of the last FOREVER were liberals. Seriously, I can’t think of ONE conservative comedian who made any serious contribution to comedy.

Pryor, Carlin, Cosby, Rock, Bruce, Aristophanes, Horace, Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Laurence Sterne, Thackeray, Vonnegut, and on and on and on and on and on.

There are legitimate debates we can have. This is just absurd.

I love when Greg Proups is trying hard not to laugh and finally just says “there really is nothing funnier than your wife and daughter getting pistol whipped”

Notice that these pigs have no real answers to Phil Hendrie’s words.

@Jitpring That’s because Phil Hendrie’s words have no real contribution to the comedic discussion. Speaking of pigs, Phil Hendrie.

@tristramshandy3 You’re probably right with respect to modern day comedians, but historically satirists have often been conservative. Aristophanes and Swift, for example, were undoubtedly conservatives and I’m not sure how anyone familiar with their work could suggest otherwise.

@Bnjolly I am not familiar with the works of Aristophanes, but I am intimately familiar with the writing of the great Jonathan Swift. How is he conservative, if you don’t mind my asking?

I kept waiting for Colbert to “blow them out of the water” but he spoke for only about 30 seconds of the 11 minutes. I think Phil Hendrie is funniest, but he’s also the most conflicted and bitter. The gun-kissing liberal stance is so punk-rock, and makes him seem paranoid.

Oh great — another audience of brain-dead, Leftist pussies, who expect the cops to protect them for everything. We can all laff at their dead bodies after the Muzzies and the escaped cons break into their house and slaughter them. Something to look forward to, for all the laffs!
