i think bill o'reilly could be very funny when he wanted to, also glenn beck in his saner moments.

just the people who are calling themselves conservative comedians usually aren't.

P.J. O'Rourke has something going for him but i guess he too is just another libertarian.

Glenn Beck before he got big was hilarious, O'Rourke is arguably the wittiest man alive.

     Alex Jones is also really funny, though how much of that is intentional is unclear.

Humor is about making fun of the powerful. Conservatism is not.

Well, Cenk does claim that TYT are the biggest online news show, so they're hardly powerless.

Conservatives can be funny, but Steven Crowder almost certainly isn't.

I've met plenty of people who are funny and conservative. I've never met a funny conservative. Conservative/Republican humor is by nature boring because it doesn't push any boundaries (unless it's a borderline racist joke about Obama's ears of course, because it makes teh libtardz mad).

Conservatives just aren't funny. Remember that "half hour news hour" from FOX? Crowder is just as funny as that.

Chapo Trap House did a pretty good segment on why conservatives aren't funny.

     Point taken. His brand of rightism isn't really what could be characterized as conservative in any meaningful sense.

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

TYT basically proved this whole forum wrong, so really not surprised by the saltyness coming from "Liberals".

winning elections is not automatically a sign of your ethical superiority...losing one even more so.

No, but showing how delusional & clueless people are certainly is - What is weird is that most of TYT pushed for Clinton in the GE after Bernie dropped to stop Trump. But atleast they had some idea how Hated Clinton was & how Clinton voters elected Trump by pushing for her !

Though I'm far from a fan of noted manchild Steven Crowder, the best part of this was how he nailed Cenk's lack of enunciation.

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

     I don't like that video for its humor; I do by and large concur with the sentiment in this thread that conservative humor is lacking. It's about telling off the whiny, spoiled, privileged Trigglypuffs of the world (this is the event where that viral video came from, actually).

DAE librulz are the real privilegeds?

     If you are a college student with the luxury of going to a speaking engagement just to heckle the speakers, you are probably privileged.

What a perfect group of people to talk down to others about being privileged:   Straight White Christian Males.

Conservatives can be funny, but Steven Crowder almost certainly isn't.

The only time conservatives are funny is when they aren't intending to be,  like Sarah Palin.
