TYT sucks, but conservatives should leave humor to the left.

Yes, conservative "humor" is the worst. I went to an AFP Summit in 2013 and I went to see Rob Portman give a speech to forty people on energy policy while down the hall, Greg Gutfeld had a room filled to capacity telling stupid knock, knock jokes about Hillary Clinton.

Libertarian humor can be funny if it is more punk and less philosophical (IE, Howard Stern when he rants about gun rights, etc) but conservative humor is nothing more than the emails that your grandma forwards you.

I don't hate myself enough to expose myself to a Steven Crowder video.

Anything featuring Steven Crowder or Paul Joseph Watson is repugnant.

I'm always one of the first people on the left to criticize TYT, but MY GOD that "parody" was stupid and unwatchable. Not remotely funny.

Political (internet) journalism is off on its own planet these days.  I don't know who most of these people are themselves, or who they're pretending to be, or generally what the hell they're even talking about.

He made a transphobic parody of Schoolhouse Rock. He's scum.

Why does Steve Crowder look like he's having a stroke?

Regardless, I enjoyed it. Especially the Armenian genocide bit.

TYT may be garbage, but Crowder is somehow worse.

     I'm a big fan of Steven Crowder and many of the people that he featured in that video, but it is important to note that it was made in response to Cenk Uygur freaking out and yelling at Alex Jones. It lacks as much impact a month later when that incident has receded into the distance and nobody really cares anymore.

     That context in itself suggests why parodies should not just be made ASAP to reference whatever the latest trend is, as Friedberg and Seltzer movies always were. The result is easily forgettable and not very amusing. Crowder has done better work.

Was the comedy supposed to begin after the angry loudmouth finished screaming?  I didn't get that far, I'm afraid.

TYT has basically become self-parody anyway, so this is really needless. And yes, conservative "humor" is terrible.
