Stan: it never is funny when the joke is at the expense of someone you idolize, everyone can make a joke at someone else's expense but the true test of one's self is being able to look introspectively and laugh at a joke made about you or your heroes. This is where conservatives struggle with humor, and where libertarians amd liberals don't, Conservatives can't make fun of themselves they can only punch down.

Just out of curiosity Jeff, since I can't take the time to spend on SNL (since it is not funny), how are they treating America's First Idiot President - www.beaufortcountynow.com ?
That Fool keeps me in stitches because it is better to laugh at a fool than take them as serious people. |

You can tell a lot about someone by their ability to take a joke. Every other US president since the show started has had jokes made about them. Only Trump and his weird cult are such hypersensitive pansies that they cannot handle it. Every despot and wannabe despot is the same, can't joke about Putin, Kim Jong, Xi etc either.

Jay: Still, SNL is not funny, if it was more people would watch.
In a nation with a growing population, SNL has more than lost over half of its audience. It just is not funny, and many of their former cast members /writers agree. |

Conservatives have never been able to take a joke, they've been trying to get SNL canceled since the first season. Reagan is the only Conservative politician that didn't cry when he was teased.

However, I do enjoy laughing at what is immutably stupid. I think that is why I am so impressed by the Babylon Bee. They know what stupid is, and often, "punch down."
