I think Ant is hilarious when he goes on his rants.

However, I will say for the most part, both in real life and in the comment sections on the internet, the far-right are fucking lunatics.

SEE: CNN comments, Yahoo News comments

I think the problem with the right talking about politics, there is always a religious or a selfish edge to it which makes it unfunny. Every right-wing political rant comes down to essentially "I want more for me and less for others." It's an understandable viewpoint. But it makes someone come across as a dick and rightly so.

Regardless, I gave you an upvote. Any topic here that bashes the right always gets downvoted to hell, and I feel that the right are at times fucking mongoloids just as much as the left are unrealistic bleeding hearts.

I think Ant makes great points. And he is able to be funny while he does it. However, he loses me because he never cites anything. And I'll wager more often than not, he is getting his statistics and information from websites with....somewhat a racial bias.

"It's a 90% illegitimacy rate in inner cities (Niggermania, 2009)"

Besides Dennis Miller (who is debatably funny) the right does not have a single funny man.

Your point is totally valid, but I thought I'd point out that there are exceptions in areas outside of NY/LA, and even DiPaolo in NY. Miller is great, but his political views make him a much more niche talent because Fox is the only outlet willing to put out a show with a conservative slant.

You're getting into subjective territory. Some successful comedians with conservative tendencies: Joan Rivers, Kevin James, Dennis Miller, Drew Carrey, Nate Bargatze, Adam Sandler, the Blue Collar crew, Bob Hope, Jackie Mason.

White person, please. You bring up politics with liberals and they start sniveling and snarling about "BOOOSH". It's about equal on both sides.

I personally don't think the comedians on the left are all that funny. It comes off as more a mix of smugness and preachiness, with a little condescension mixed in. The anger from the right is part of what makes it funny. Nick DiPaolo or Adam Carolla are worlds funnier than the Daily Show or their biased interviews and lying tactics taken straight from "Rules for Radicals". I'm reminded of a Neil Hamburger joke. He would go in front of some college crowd and say "I don't know about you, but I think that George Bush is the worst president we've ever had", and the audience would, of course, clap and hoot and act like he just came up with "The Seven Dirty Words" bit, and once they quieted down, he would continue, "Which makes it odd that his son, George W. Bush is the BEST president we've ever had!" and watch the crowd just get perplexed. It's like what Tina Fey said about The Daily Show crowd, where she called it "Clapter" instead of "Laughter". The crowd is more willing to OVER applaud an unfunny joke if it's in line with their beliefs, which makes for unfunny comedy with giant laughs.

I just don't enjoy it. I understand that there are a lot of people out there who watch it, but a lot of those people ONLY get their news from The Daily Show, and vote ased on what The Daily Show told them. The fact remains that they edit interviews and motherfuck anyone to the right of Olbermann by making them look stupid. They'll attack the Duke LaCrosse team, and once it turns out they're innocent, never mention it again. But then again, I only watch it when Brietbart links to a video of it twisting the truth and oversimplifying.

The arrogance of Liberals. The problem with Liberals is that they are so certain that they are always right and that the rest of us poor bumkins have either deep character flaws, mental retardation or are closet brown shirts. Shut off Comedy Central and read a book, magazine or newspaper. Funny is funny. Colbert’s show is funny. Not because he’s Liberal. Ever see Airplane or the Naked Gun movies. Conservatives are funny also. There has been a Conservative tradition going from H. L. Mencken to P. J. O’Rourke to David Zucker of biting satire. Indeed one could go back further to Aristophanes’ jibes at the puffed-up seers and pretensions philosophers of Ancient Greece (Cloud Cuckooland) to Jonathan Swift’s lampooning of 18th century conventional thought. The great Samuel Johnson was a master at skewering the utopians of his age. And you know why Ant hates the shows fans.

Not trying to sound smart. Just trying to point out the arrogance of Liberals. Listen to Carlin a Liberal himself on the arrogance of Liberals on the environment. Thinking Comedy Central is going to sway elections is preposterous. Follow history, this midterm election will be a victory for the Republicans and most likely a win in 2016 Presidential election. It has nothing to do with President Obama. History shows the party that holds the White House for two consecutive terms loses. Bismarck famously said, "if your not a Liberal in your twenties you have no heart, if you are still a Liberal in your thirties you have no brain". By the way I'm not a conservative. I'm an Independent who leans slightly to the left. i just like pointing out the bias in both political ideologies. I'm not saying I'm right. I'm just an old guy who seen all this b.s. before. We probably are real close in our thinking. I just think some people are funny and some are not. It has nothing to do with political leanings. Thank you for not insulting me for not agreeing with you. That's the norm on here. Take care my friend.

Daily Republican answer to The Daily Show and Real Time is Red Eye.

Political satire and comedy has historically always worked well on the left and not through the right. It's probably just due to their ideologies and how people can poke fun at their liberal/conservative thoughts.

Shows like The Daily Show and Colbert work well because their heavily satirical nature can poke holes in the serious theories presented by conservatives. Similarly they can do the same to liberals. SNL has also been able to poke fun of left and right politicians despite being mainly a liberally produced show.

I cannot think of any conservative comedic/satirical shows that have ever worked. It's just the way the humor works

Watch Red-Eye with Greg Gutfeld

Not even close to being funny.

I'm a conservative and yeah I've noticed it. I think it comes down to being anti-establishment is more funny than being pro.

I also think left leaning positions are becoming less humorous and more preachy. Only because it's becoming more the norm. Conservatives aren't becoming funnier.

Add in God. Conservstives tend to adhere to religious values and nothing is more unfunny than saying why can't we be more like Jesus.

Libertarian's can be funny. Stanhope. Jimmy is funny when he makes fun of liberal double standards. But advocating for traditional family values, patriotism is about as funny as describing why a healthy diet is good for your cholesterol.

yeesh.

I totally understand where you're coming from since I was once a dumbass know it all college kid as well.

Are you drunk, or old? (Random caps, calling Jon Stewart "JOHN DAILY", multiple ???). Conservative political humor just doesn't work. No one can truly do it successfully. I don't think what I said questioned the validity of your post, I just don't think conservative political observation comedy works, and cannot think of any that has. I don't disagree with what you said, but I would like to know where you are going with this.

I'm going to assume you mean how are republicans not sillier? It's their general philosophies which deny them a "silly" demeanor. They generally come across as serious people who cannot see the slight hilarities in life. Conservative opinion has largely been straight forward and rarely strayed from the path of generalities they use. Opposingly, liberal humor can take what both conservatives and liberals say and use their own words against them.

Cause some people have thin skin, even if it looks rough enough to strike a match.

Ant's not a political humorist. His humor and politics are pretty separate. Also, most comedians are lefties.

I don't think there's more humor in making fun of one side than the other, but no one goes after the left because you have to cater to your audience. I saw Jay Mohr do a theater gig in a fairly conservative area and he flipped the script a little bit, and I'm pretty sure he's a lib. This is rare though.

Who's talking about morals or standards?

No, it was organic. I like regular Jay and he scaled back the vulgarity and his normal antics a bit so I didn't love it, but he killed.

I seem to remember back in the 80's and 90's there were plenty of angry liberals.

Yea, what happened to the funny part?

They also weren't lackeys. Carlin was liberal but would rip on any hipocracy. Being for a candidate is too close to PR.

It's when it goes from this is my perspective to towing the party line, it's just not fun to hear.

Subjective.

Reddit is bleeding into this sub....so many fuckin liberal posts on here recently what da fuckkkkk

You just don't like it because you don't agree with what he's saying. What Ant says is fuckin hilarious and if you ever watch his arguments on Twitter, theyre funny as fuck. And Foxworthy's terrible but, sticking within the blue collar comedy tour, Ron White is hilarious. Also -- a couple of the comedians they have on the show are right-leaning or libertarian and talk about politics or other contemporary topics-- like Joe Rogan. So much better than hearing liberals babble about Bush or whatever.

How is Joe Rogan left leaning at all as opposed to libertarian

Ant gets riled up about it. That's fine and all, I just wish I didn't have to hear the same argument every time. I don't generally agree with Ant on a lot of issues (actually I don't really give a shit about those issues), but I can tell exactly how he's going to respond to a caller's points because of how often he talks about it.

SHAAADUP SHAAAADUP SHAAAAD UP SHAAAAAAAAAD UP

Almost all leftist comedians are awful when talking politics.

Case in point: the daily show, and colbert report, the two most unfunny overrated "comedy" shows on TV.

Last time I watched the colbert show, he had some faggot guest on for an interview, about how the spike footed goat in China was being raised for angora sweaters or some shit, but that the prevalence of these goats were creating a new dustbowl that could DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENT! Then colbert follows that up with, "yes but the environment is just for those tree hugging hippies right?" and the crowd laughed and laughed. After they calmed down the guest responded seriously with the "no but this is a very serious situation" and colbert let him babble about his pet cause, plugged the book after a couple minutes, and then went to commercial.

I'm sorry, were you saying something about bias?

It's too late. You have suffered a severe emotional trauma.

I will notify a rape crisis center.
