Cancel culture

Re: Cancel culture

Does anyone know any right wing conservative type stand up comedians ?

And are any of them funny ?

I can't imagine someone making jokes about how they support welfare cuts or privatising the health service or the shocking state of tory social care policy being funny

It would be a bit creepy

And I think that's why so called alternative comedy works

It's sort of taking it to the bad man

Funny you ask as the BBC have just announced this pilot https://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2021/...omedy_show?rss

Tony Law is usually good value but the involvement of Andrew Doyle is a bit of a red flag that this may end up being as funny as standing on a plug with socks on.

All that said though, other than the odd Rachel Parris bit there wasn't a huge amount about the Mash Report to write home about either.

I find most tory comedians are like the Alan Partridge character

Geoff Norcott? He's quite good.

That's him. He does a good job on that, but haven't heard anything else he's done.

He has been on Mock the Week and The Mash Report amongst other things

Re: Cancel culture

Yet we haven’t seen one decent example posted to this thread of it actually happening.

Cancel culture doesn’t exist it’s just Twitter bollocks being blown out of proportion as usual.

Jimmy Carr: Pressure grows over comedy routine - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-60292675

Joe Rogan: Podcast is staying on Spotify says boss - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-60286699

It's certainly gaining traction. Maybe for the best, but who gets to decide?

I might have missed the point you're trying to make but I'm not sure if a podcast staying on Spotify is a great example of cancel culture.

20 seconds in and Neil Young has been called a "cuck" and someone says "if you want America, listen to Springsteen"; the famously anti-patriotic singer/songwriter.

Please tell me - why would anyone over the age of 12 want to listen beyond that point?

The blurb underneath the video:

"Flagrant 2 is a comedy podcast that delivers unfiltered, unapologetic, and unruly hot takes directly to your dome piece. In an era dictated by political correctness, hosts Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh, along with AlexxMedia and Mark Gagnon, could care less about sensitivities. If it’s funny and flagrant it flies. If you are sensitive this podcast is not for you. But if you miss the days of comedians actually being funny instead of preaching to a quire then welcome to The Flagrancy."

Maybe a bit of context?
You might dig what they discuss after. You might not.

I'm interested in your thoughts on Joe Rogan and cancel culture in general as you made the effort to click on a video I posted.

I made the incredible effort to move the cursor over your link and click my mouse as I was interested in finding out who Andrew Schulz was.

That interest faded in but a moment.

There is a lot of stuff out there to see, so I can understand your brevity, but do you often form your opinion about people and subjects after 20 seconds of consideration?
