Greatly annoys me that there is still a small amount of conservatism showing.

I got 88% "Progressism" (versus 81%) and the same 5% Conservatism as them.

edit: actually, nobody in the thread has a higher "Progressism" score

Early word on the new Chris Rock special is that its set to trigger Reeeeeeee

About to watch and see.

I saw Ricky Gervais a few weeks ago, and he signed a deal for a Netflix special. I believe it was actually filmed a few weeks before I saw him. It will -definitely- set of the usuals. Maybe justifiably, because his trans material is even more dated and basic than Chappelle’s.

That's cuz all of his material is dated and basic. Shame on you for giving this unfunny clod money. Easily the most disgusted I've ever been with anything you've ever posted.

[etiolate]

That looks like one of his Q&A videos, but doesn't resemble any on his channel.

[benjipwns]

[Phoenix Dark]

I briefly viewed the Chris Rock thread's first page, and it's largely people complaining about the topics. Little to no convo about the comedy, it's almost likely people sped through and jotted down what controversial shit Chris Rock had to say. That's how you consume comedy? Kill yourself.

[Transhuman]

What are y'all favourite comedians besides Chapelle? I'm drawing a blank for names of comedians whose standup material I actually enjoy. Patton Oswalt and Louie CK are the only names that really come to mind as having near flawless sets, with no joke that seems weak compared to others.

That Chapelle set was fucking flawless though. I had to watch equanimity and bird rev twice they were so on-point.

[etiolate]

I would say Rock's set had some parts that flowed better than others. Like the freshman orientation into Trump worked well. I did find it interesting that all the women in the front row got uncomfortable when he started saying that you need bullies.

The special didn't slay me but got some smirks.

that thread is so very, very sad

it's basically "why are they so popular? we're cool too. Hey lets copy their format and show them!"  *nobody watches*

Is it maybe because the modern American "left" are completely humorless, pretentious and preachy with a no fun allowed mentality that no one wants to witness especially in video form?

It depends, since we're talking about that thread are we going by the resetera definition of alt-right, because according them fucking PewDiePie is alt-right, or are we going by sane people definition that acknowledges that the majority of youtubers just laughs at both sides and treats them as jokes?

[etiolate]

Yes, he does. He's more conservative leaning than most, but probably just in the center of political spheres. He avoids putting politics into his comedy because he finds it preachy. He's more into the crafting of the joke than making any huge statement.

Though this probably makes him evil alt-righter now:

"At first, these soldiers had to pull the prisoners out of the camp, knowing they'd be killed. And the labor wasn't the point of the labor camps. Not at all. They would have the prisoners haul sacks of rocks from one part of the camp to the other. And those that didn't, well, they made them strip naked and sleep outside in the snow. At first, these guards were burying the bodies. Inch by inch, man, they'd go along with it. The next week they were shooting the prisoners. By the end, they were torturing the prisoners. They lost their humanity bit by bit. I mean, these guys were real jerks."

One of my fav Norm jokes was his Crocodile Hunter rant on the Daily Show a week after the guy died. Unfortunately, comedy central keeps it off of YT.

He was a new wave neo-Nazi long before that tweet:

Do you find any Trump satire funny?
Personally, with comedy, I think if it doesn’t make you laugh 100 years from now, what good is it? Have you listened to a Mort Sahl album lately? The Eisenhower stuff is a little weak.

So it’s not working for SNL?
It’s good for them, because Saturday Night Live is at its best when it’s political. You’d think they’ll have to find another approach to Trump eventually. I can’t see making jokes with that fever behind them for so long before the whole thing collapses into itself. But, you know, I don’t want to watch things about Trump in real life, so I definitely don’t want to watch it in comedy. If I see that stuff, I change to ESPN. I can’t take Morning Joe anymore. I can’t take wall-to-wall Trump. I see his picture all the time almost like how’d you’d see Mao’s picture all the time in China. Not in a fascist way, which is how it seems like Trump’s being portrayed. I don’t think that’s the kind of person he is.

What kind of person do you think he is?
You know, people say stuff like, “You gotta wake up. Trump and his boys are trying to take over. There’s a coup going on.” That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. I don’t know much, but I know coups are not undertaken by the president of the United States. If anything, it looks like a coup going on the other way. They’re talking about impeaching a guy before any investigation has even begun.

You think he’s being treated unfairly?
Remember how people would get really mad if someone referred to President Obama as just Obama and not President Obama? “You’re talking about President Obama.” Now Trump’s critics never call him President Trump. It’s just “Trump’s over there, pretending to be president again.” The whole thing is crazy. But I think what they’re doing on Saturday Night Live is smart, especially when they go after the side characters like Spicer.

There’s probably some element of cynicism there too. SNL’s Trump stuff has done so well for them.
I don’t know, I’ll spend my time on YouTube watching William F. Buckley talking to some super intellectual on Firing Line. The funny thing is that the subjects are exactly the same. They were talking about immigration back then, too.

The subjects stayed the same, the caliber of public conversation didn’t.
Instead of dumb guys, have super-smart guys that like each other talking about stuff. Maybe someone should give that a try again.

I understand that people’s politics shift, but I’ll see a Dennis Miller line about climate change and think, Do you really not believe that issue is a problem? Or do you feel obligated to take this position because of who butters your bread? I don’t mean that disparagingly. I’m legitimately curious to know where his politics end and his act begins.
So you think he just says this stuff as a money-making thing? I think some people are cynical like that, but I know Dennis and I don’t think that happened with him. He was pretty liberal and then 9/11 just blew his mind. It knocked him out and changed everything for him. That’s what it is.

It feels like he became sort of an ideologue.
I think he really believes what he believes. But he’s still funny. So when people go, “What happened to Dennis? He’s not funny anymore” — no, he’s still funny. If you listen to his jokes, they’re the same, it’s just that the premises are different. He still does the thing where he picks some guy from Petticoat Junction and throws him in a joke. I think the cynicism you’re talking about does happen on the right a lot more than it does on the left. When I watch Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Tucker Carlson — there’s extreme entertainment value in what they’re doing. Tucker Carlson is practically laughing the whole time he’s on camera.

With disdain.
A mocking laughter. Oh, those crazy old liberals. But the liberals aren’t laughing. They’re going, Oh, those evil Republicans and saying it with real venom. It’s hard to get people on your side when you’re that guy. On an entertainment level, the Republicans may be winning just because it’s more fun to listen to them.

Are you following the Kathy Griffin stuff at all?
What she did was grotesque. Disgusting. It shows how isolated everyone is. I was golfing last week and I told the guy I was golfing with, “It’s getting pretty crazy. I heard someone say they’re trying to ‘humanize’ Trump. Well, he is human.” And this guy goes, “Well, barely.” Jesus Christ. But Kathy Griffin went about as far as you can go. It’s like she had no sense of the history of that kind of image.

Some of your peers — I’m thinking of Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock — have said they don’t want to play college campuses because those environments are oversensitive. But isn’t it also progress for people to call out what might actually be offensive material as offensive?
You want to be on the right side of history with these issues; you don’t want to look like an idiot. But comics always think they’re right. They never consider, “Oh, maybe I’m wrong about this social issue.” The stuff that’s happening on college campuses, though, like, this “resistance” stuff — I don’t even like protests. It’s all too much for me.

What’s wrong with protests?
I don’t like groups of people. If I’m walking down the street, I think it’s freaky to see a group. And if I saw a group of people that was obviously all thinking alike? Oh god, that’d scare the fuck out of me. I’d just be like, what does that sign they’re all carrying say? I better agree with it or I might be in trouble. And what’s going on in colleges, with not giving free speech to morons, is ridiculous. It’s insulting to everyone in the country to think people can’t handle hearing some distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. I can listen to any distinguished mentally-challenged fellow I want. Like, I enjoy listening to Louis Farrakhan. He’s just funny to me. Or Charles Manson. I like listening to crazy people.

Ah, okay. So like, “call Charles Manson crazy, but the man could write a song?”
With Manson, his biggest flaw was probably his bloodlust for slaughtering people.

If this dude tried to make it into the comic industry with these opinions he would have been roasted by the press and public and shamed into hiding. Video games allow his type to stay hidden and as long as he delivers a good product then he gets a pass.

Yep games media is to be blamed for this

Review it and give it a 1/10 to tank the metascore, fucks sake.

[benjipwns]

However, Gamergate is the gatedrug to the actual far-right

[Averon]

They are seething that people don't care what some random guy on a development team said on social media and just wanted to enjoy playing a games they found good. That's partly because normal people don't spend all day on social media looking for wrong-think to get outraged by.

That they are so mad normal people aren't sperging out about Kingdom Come Deliverance and is actually enjoying the game is pathetic.

[Averon]

Review it and give it a 1/10 to tank the metascore, fucks sake.

Advocating reviewers to be petty and unprofessional just to virtue signal. They are nuts

They have yet to respond to Brad Glasgow posting in that thread.

This goes along with my intellectual prey animal theory. They hide in the herd for protection, make "callouts" to warn the herd, but when face to face with the thing itself, they run away, freeze up or play dead. All prey animal behaviors, just translated into human beings who can't win internet arguments.

If they were totally silent, it could be viewed as them just wanting to avoid the issue and forfeiting the narrative to someone else. Making a statement about how you aren't going to talk about it anymore gives some attention, but it's still the difference between actually making a statement and closing your eyes and hoping for the best.

But they stay silent when it is their parent company doing wrong doing.

Exactly, if Warhorse Studio make KCD 2 without Vavrá i would not have any issue buying it.

Well, it doesnt seem that you are needed as a costumer.

I also find it rich how they are all praising WayPoint after their recent sexually harassment allegations. Given the logic in that thread, WayPoint should be excommunicated from ERA. But of course they aren't going to do that since WayPoint is "woke." Just goes to show their outrage is not serious at all and is just an excuse to show how "woke" they are to each other.
