Right Wing Comedy

Jay Leno criticizes political late-night hosts amid Colbert 'Late Show' cancellation

Leno is one of the few comedians these days that I have much respect for, in no small part, because he writes most of his own jokes. However, he totally misses the point that the right wing is censoring half of reality, and demanding that sarcasm be the only acceptable form of comedy, ensuring that comedians like Colbert will always have an audience.

Weapons are our biggest export, are already becoming dramatically larger, and the more weapons we sell, the more heavily we censor the mass media, especially, comedy. Sarcasm only has real meaning, when you can measure its dollar value, so I'm working on measuring it, with 14 places of accuracy and precision.

 

I think if you use the latest quantum supercomputer computer you can take it out to 71 places of accuracy in .0000000001 seconds.

However I prefer to measure the potential dollar value of sarcasm by the proportion of groans vs chuckles it evokes in a typical psychiatric ward for those with multiple personalities.

 

IMO, right wingers / conservatives / republicans are notoriously devoid of humor.

 

It’s not even that. It’s that they like say derogatory or racist things and then play it off like it’s just a joke.

 

Its much easier to measure in sparkling laughter, the infectious kind nobody can resist. Psychology has no accepted theory for humor, which falls under the catch all category of schizophrenia.

 

Sorry, but music and Hollywood can't compete with weapons. Nvidia being the most recent dominant high-tech weapons company. The ability for the oligopolies to claim that making money is a national security issue, is priceless.

Leno didn't say he shouldn't have the right to freedom of speech, just that you can't expect anyone to listen. Colbert's ratings were going down the toilet, and CBS used him as a bargaining chip.

The ultimate disaster for a professional sarcastic political comedian, is when their jokes are no longer considered funny, and don't make money. Guaranteeing people won't hesitate to sell them down the river, to the highest bidder. It's their tradition, to sell each other down the river.
