But of course, she is right that like the comedy landscape right now, there are PC police out there and there are a lot of, you know, there is an unwillingness to joke about certain things.

Like we just did the Dave Chappelle video this week where reacting to him being

NPR was taking him to task years later now over his transgender jokes in a comedy set.

And he kind of clapped back on the comedy police.

So there's truth to what she's saying, but I don't know that she's the best vessel for it.

Yeah.

It seems like modern, and this is true in and outside of comedy, but just with comedy, for example, there is a certain, there's a right way to think.

And there are certain groups that are untouchable and it's punching down to talk about them or joke about them.

But then if you're punching up, then we can make as many jokes as we want about that.

And it seems like everything that's being put out now is kind of filtered through that lens.

And it just doesn't

ring as true to our experience in real life as people and there's there's so much humor in the differences that naturally manifest themselves uh between men and women between different racial groups and all this stuff and uh it's natural in comedy to you know call out the things that are a little bit taboo to call out or or kind of push the envelope and a little bit

But when you have this overarching, you know, preconceived pre commitment to an orthodoxy or a right way to joke or what's what who's off limits, who's on limits, it just kills the whole comedic environment and the storytelling landscape.

And you end up with something that's like this sanitized product that works.

It's like a late night TV, we the jokes are only ever in one direction.

I think they did a study on it recently, where

It's like 90 something percent of the jokes are anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-Trump, whatever.

It's only ever one thing over and over again.

And it's kind of oriented toward this clapture where you got this audience that's in there and they'll laugh and clap for you because they agree with you because they share this narrow worldview.

But it's not representative of what the country at large finds funny or feels connected to in any way.
