Is it just me or do right-wingers have no sense of humor?

right wingers have no sense of humour

Not true!

They have "[slur]! Hurr Durr!", "Are you triggered???!!!" and "I identify as an attack helicopter! Hurr Durr!" That's three jokes for you, right there.

A lack of empathy, imagination and also understanding of politics. They take a skewed version of reality (that they almost definitely saw secondhand in sensationalized or outright fabricated sources), find out what enrages them (blue haired, art major, LGBT, communist, radlib, coastal elite, anarchist, etc) and mashes them together. It's how you get the famous JBP "Postmodern Neomarxists" despite PoMo and Marxism being incompatible, they're 2 types of students that he dislikes that he has fused together in his leaky, smooth brain. The homunculus of a "liberal leftist" will then also contain traits that aren't necessarily from a same sort of person, it's a smorgasbord of everything they dislike, irrespective of whether it creates a coherent person or not. Daily Wire, Prager et al will invent a blue haired liberal communist who's a barista but also a coastal elite who identifies as an anarchist and has a bust of Lenin in her home, and is in an interracial relationship. And said liberal communist will suffer misfortune and that would be the joke. And that's the "good" stuff. Sometimes the joke is that Crowder dresses up with a rice farmer hat, buck teeth and do a Chinese accent and that's just the whole joke, or an "Indian Gangster" which is just him saying AAVE in an Indian accent (this is a real bit, but don't look it up, it's terrible). This is what reactionaries generally have on offer.

Even the reactionary creators of South Park have done enough LSD/Magic Mushrooms over the years to develop a base level of empathy, so they manage to pump out some decent takes every season or so. They can create a half accurate facsimile of whatever they're making fun of that way. But also, even if they're making fun of X liberal thing, ultimately the one who suffers is Cartman, who doesn't give a single shit about X and end up failing. In the gender neutral bathroom episode, the villain (unlike most right wing media) is not the trans person or the PC establishment, but it's Cartman, who starts pretending to be trans to get a private bathroom all for himself. Similarly, in the Tourette Syndrome episode, some people with TS are the surface level jokes, but the antagonist is actively Cartman, who pretends to have Tourette to get away with swearing at school. Still problematic episode, but imagine if Ben Shapiro or Steven Crowder tried to write it. Cartman would be the protagonist. This is what reactionaries would make with an ounce of empathy for the marginalized or "the other". It's exceedingly rare.

The centrist liberals do this, too, making fun of right wingers as if they're just inbred hicks and not like small business owning suburbanites. But they normally overlap and therefore get overshadowed by actually good content, so they're not as prominent.

Finally, here's a Doctor Mister Cody video addressing similar stuff for an hour

Their version of humour only exists in DAE like to discriminate? Haha yeah screw [marginalized people] and their allies!

I've heard that comedy is when you suddenly upend expectations in a shocking or unexpected way, ie the punchline. And since fash like things to be predictable, maybe they just can't do humor bc they don't like that sudden surprise? So they just yell slurs to be smug in their sadism?

Watching conservative stand up "comedy" is self harm.

Conservative comedy is just them listing stuff that makes them mad.

I'm reminded of this line from a Folding Ideas critique of the truly awful Nostalgia Critic satire of The Wall:

Doug wants to be a filmmaker, he wants to make art, but he can't, because he's a fundamentally incurious person who isn't much interested in what other people think or feel and all his ideas boil down to 'what if Batman met Mario?'

Liberals don't either. Read this absolutely cringe attempt at libs trying to be the Onion. Not a single joke lands.

Because the average right winger is someone who has ambient bigotry installed into their brains through a lifetime of not needing to care. A standup comedian doing a conservative act has gone off the deep end and allowed a combination of their own insecurities and racial panic to cloud their brains.

Every public right-wing media figure seems to have a whole list of weird emotional baggage they've never dealt with. Like they'll be in the closet, or have daddy issues, or they got bullied in high school. And they never let that stuff go or went to therapy

Comedy for them is the idea that people they regard as lesser could ever be equal to them

There's a Chapo bit from a long time ago where they put it down to chuds getting too angry before the punchline. Like, the set up of the joke will be bog standard, but then they'll pivot to whatever culture war bullshit is occupying their mind at the moment.

They have humor it's just not funny.

Joe many liberals does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

None, their too busy? Their gender!

gender woke probouns xDDDD

Their sense of humor is stuck in the early 2000's when the Marlon Brothers were considered funny and people didn't cringe as much at Adam Sandler's shitty movies. Their Lady Ballers movie or whatever it's called is basically that type of humor with shock-jock stuff thrown in to be edgy.

Only problem is that they can't commit too long before they get angry and start making their jokes more of a lecture.

they are the kind of people that do racism in the style of a knock knock joke, and then blame cancel culture in communist hollywood.

I'm sorry, it's just you that has no sense of humor

Extinct. The last one was Norm Macdonald.
