I can’t help but laugh when I watch late night TV. It’s not a joke, the clown is talking to them.
This is pure propaganda, and Politico realized it.
“What I have to tell you as a comedian: Don’t lose your sense of humor.” At this point in your life, you have no idea how much it will take to get through. ”
Recent articles on this siteWhy aren’t late-night shows condemning Joe Biden?” suggests that even liberal news sites are fed up with the extreme polarization of the situation.
Think again.
“By any measure, Biden is a rich mine of material for late-night comics and sketch comics,” the article claims.
Of course.
And then the rationale appears.
As these hosts approached the task of making fun of Trump, they began to see themselves less as comic mercenaries and more as members of a media organization that had to confront the dangers of Trump.
danger? Are you talking about abandoning allies, depleting strategic oil reserves, censoring speech, and imprisoning political opponents?
No, that’s dangerous.
Just when you thought the challenges of the aging Beltway blog couldn’t get any worse, they do.
If some topics are banned and some political figures are impeccable, we will find ourselves in a culture where there are more and more niche products serving niche audiences. . Right-wing comic Greg Gutfeld found success in the ratings with his conservative comedy (if you can call it that) on Fox News by exploiting a hole in the market. The future of political comedy will look more like this. Hacky, it’s like throwing a half-joke or two into a partisan bombshell. It’s totally Gutfeld.
Yes, right-leaning viewers are “niche” and FOX News’ Gutfeld is a partisan hack, not a fledgling guy Dancing needles of new coronavirus infection …
Hollywood’s recycling efforts
Another “Roadhouse” movie is coming soon, a sequel to the recent reboot starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Additionally, Elle Woods returns courtesy of a prequel series that explores the early days of the “Legally Blonde” character. And screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who helped create the kneecap for the previous Indiana Jones movie, is set to write the new Lara Croft and Tomb Raider series.
That’s right from Team Amazon.
Hollywood is in a panic and needs to tie almost everything to intellectual property.
It’s partly our fault.
No, we didn’t push the industry into the red with repeated spending. In Cartman’s words, we didn’t tell the writers, “Just put some chick in there and make her lame and gay.”
However, we often flocked to the rebooted establishments over the original fare (too often!).
This can be changed immediately.
“If”, an original children’s movie directed by John Krasinski of “The Office” fame, will be released on Friday. This summer, Kevin Costner’s ultimate passion project, Horizon, arrives. It’s the all-American Western he’s been waiting to tell for 30 years.
And then there’s Francis Ford Coppola’s new movie, “Megalopolis,” which doesn’t even have a U.S. distributor yet (although it’s sure to be distributed eventually). We know very little about this movie other than that it is the legendary American author’s most ambitious project to date.
And if Coppola’s love affair looks like the movie Brussels sprouts, suck it up. You won’t know until you try it. Plus, it’s better to feast on these rare originals than to choke on the same old microwaved leftovers. “Caddyshack 3: Revenge of the Gophers”, anyone?
New York City lawlessness turns Mr. Pink black and blue
We know actor Steve Buscemi from “Boardwalk Empire,” “Fargo,” and the biggest meme in modern history.How are you, children? ”
This week, he endured the Big Apple’s shenanigans in its disregard for law and order. The 66-year-old character actor was randomly punched by a stranger and had to go to the hospital.
Barring some serious sparks, he’ll be fine, but his plight is a reminder of how dangerous New York City is still under one-party rule. Especially for a beloved character actor, Buscemi’s colleagues Michael Stuhlbarg and Rick Moranis have also endured gratuitous punches from New Yorkers.
Apparently, these perpetrators spend less time in custody than they do in front of police. Netflix’s latest mid-grade romantic comedy.

Jerry Seinfeld’s “Unfrosted” press tour is the antithesis of “nothing.”
The creator of a famously apolitical sitcom is causing a stir on the left left and right. First, he blamed the “far left” for hurting comedy. You know he’s onto something when his critics bring up his age, skin color, and squeaky-clean brand as offensive preferences.
He also spoke out in support of Israel, an action that caused considerable animosity among the academic community and MSNBC.
Seinfeld wrapped up his “Unfrosted” tour with a speech to Duke University graduates.
A few Palestinian apologists walked away, but everyone else heard Seinfeld further denounce woke thinking. Although not directly, we all know what he meant.
“As a comedian, what I have to say is, don’t lose your sense of humor. At this point in your life, you don’t know how much you’re going to need to get through. The more you can live without humor, the more you can live without it.” , life has no meaning.”
It gets better.
“It’s okay to be a little uncomfortable with awkward humor. It’s worth laughing, even if it comes at the cost of the discomfort sometimes. Don’t lose it. It’s okay, even if it comes at the cost of the occasional hard feelings.”
He even attacked the concept of so-called white privilege.
“What I’m saying is, we’re ashamed of what we should be proud of, and we’re proud of what we’re ashamed of.”
And yes, there is definitely something wrong with that.
