I watched it a while ago, but from what I remember it’s partly that conservatives are not very creative. It’s an old bit but it’s true that lots and lots of mainstream conservative pundits tried to make it as writers in Hollywood, or at least as comedians before failing and turning to right-wing grift and money.
Another point is that political comedy, by its nature, has to express an political opinion, or else it’s not “political” comedy. The left wing can do this easily as a lot of left wing problems tend to punch up to the rich or to corporations. On the other hand, the political opinion a lot of conservative comics find “funny” is the fact that they hate women and minorities.
Unfortunately for them, the country is a little too WOKE to do black face anymore so they have to try to obscure that opinion with weird contrived bits. Bits so contrived that they end up having to spell out the joke at the end about how the funny part was that they hate women and minorities. (There are clips of this in the video). That’s a double whammy of bad comedy because it’s already a shitty premise and it breaks many rules of comedy such as punching down and explaining the joke.
Just watched it, what it basically boils down to is that nowadays most “comedy” from US conservatives isn’t meant to be funny, it’s meant to “own the libs.” So instead of coming up with witty, valid criticism of Democrats, they do whatever they can to try to get a rise out of them, which leads to a bunch of nonsense that is more concerned with making a political point and upsetting people than it is with actually being funny or even true.
Yeah, they’re a bit of an acquired taste for sure. I still kinda cringe through most of their recurring bits and wait until they’re over, but the pieces are well researched if you can power through about 3 minutes of cringe lol
I’ve watched and gotten a lot out of these videos in general. I usually skip the opening comedy bits, which are mostly them swinging incredibly hard and not even hitting the ball. Does result in a too-occasional home run. But even those usually aren’t in the opening.
Anyway, these may be worth going back to. Gold mines with piles of dog poop at the entrance. Or at least silver mines.
Why Is Conservative Comedy So… Not Very Good?
oh lord I’m not watching a hour long video. Can someone give the the synopsis?

Lol it was so bad the first 40 seconds I almost left
I love his videos, but he’s not for everybody lol

I love Warmbo and I’m not afraid to say it. But I appreciate Muppets being added to basically anything lol
I’ll admit, the Warmbo character has grown on me, lol. The episode where he “streamed” his reaction to the episode sent me.
I did leave. Holy fuck that was unbearable

Does that mean he did the bit really good?
Holy fuck, it’s basically my entire high school experience, rolled into one guy. I need to punch him in the face. Repeatedly. Sorry, guy.
So, if you got far enough into this, the bad joke he is criticizing is actually about happy endings and not about two masseuses, right?
