Did... You just release over an hour of showdy content to kick off my Monday? I love y'all so much.

Ali Bushell

Thanks Cody and his showdy! Quick question, why am I hearing all the bleeps on the uncensored version?

slothlike

Holy crap, isolate that explanation of sex and genetics. That was an excellent summary everyone should hear.

John Hall

Ok. AOC-word is a name Rep Ocasio-Cortez should just lean into. Can you imagine how hard (phrasing) Republican heads would explode if she actually turned into exactly how they see here(a latina caricature that sounds like an even more extreme version of Rosie Perez circa White Men Can't Jump)?

I can't believe you censored your weird balls on the patreon cut. I mean, what else am I paying for if not uncensored pictures of smooth, empty balls?

Sam Bishop

I laughed so hard during the last minute or so of the video that I might be dead now. It was, of course, a great (and welcome) thing I can use to point family to WHY their "comedy" isn't and is just spiteful and mean, but jeezus, I nearly coughed up a lung on the levitation mention. I love you all very much, thank you for making my life better.

Okay, so I know this wasn't a big part of the video but I feel absolutely compelled to explain that Baptist joke better. It's an extremely common joke in the Deep South which is generally considered fairly decent, and the explanation of "religious people tend to be more religious around other religious people" is... not *wrong,* exactly but it's a terrible explanation. A better explanation has to do with the reputation that Baptists, specifically, have in the Deep South. Baptists have a reputation for arguing that *all* alcohol consumption is sinful and presenting themselves as teatotallers. But there's a huge stereotype that this is all for show and that Baptists actually love to drink as much as anyone else, but they just won't admit to it in front of each other. Thus the joke. There's a million permutations of these jokes, too, from things like "what's the difference between a Methodist and a Baptist? A Methodist will say hello to you if you pass in the liquor store" and "how do you get rid of poison ivy? Pour whiskey on it and the Baptists will come eat it in the night." Generally poking fun at Baptist's weird shame over having so much as a single beer is a staple joke among non-Baptists in the Deep South (even sometimes among non-religious people). Anyway I know there was no reason to give that long explanation but I was affronted as a Southerner that they couldn't even get the point of the joke right.

Steve Snyder

Very excellent episode. Now time to watch it again…

Arielle

It’s so long! I love it!

Michael C

This may be unpopular, but I want to see Warmbo more

Fox News' attempt at a Daily Show type news show always comes to mind when I think of conservative comedy. It was terrible, even for conservatives, lasting only 13 episodes. There was no truth underneath it, no biting commentary. It was fascinating to watch and directly compare it to the Daily Show.

L. Ron Cupboard

I am laughing already at your dejectedly sad face reacting to the very unfunny of the supposed comedy of comedic conservatives. I can see that you earnestly were open to their material, hoping for anything funny, but,... no.....

When I started watching this, I had not had my 5 drink minimum. I learned quickly to regret - & correct - that decision.

Vincent

Best video y'all have done in a while. Thank you very much.

sunny

hi I watched this on youtube and oh noo why are you doing ads for hello fresh :( are they still union busting???

Carl P Crossgrove

I still don't know the psych or child development term for this, but to me what is remarkable about "conservative humor" is that they actually don't understand humor. There is a convo going on now about evangelicals and RW conservatives in any field whose starting premise is that everyone should have already been abused, dehumanized and pummeled into the same state: Generational Abuse Catatonia. Without trying to make it funny, they are stuck in an abuse cycle that presumes you've been beaten down so far that the only POV you can have is to see everyone as a victim or as an abuser. Pick your role. So "humor" is predicated on seeing everyone, in every scenario, in one of those two roles. "Liberals" are supposed to always be in the victim role. Taking Charge, like God-Uncle Donnie always does, is always the abuser/alpha. Not paying your contractors and visibly hating your wife and children is a display of power. Humor can't accomodate the idea that anyone might show or acknowledge their vulnerability. That erases about 74% of all comedy. The rest has to show someone as abuser, and the outcome has to always be debasement and destruction. The cycle of abuse works when the abused picks up the frail mantle of power and uses it to abuse others, who, obviously, are weaker than they. So the field of comedy, which really has a wellspring of humility, self-awareness and vulnerability, looks like a strange, abandoned battlefield to conservatives. They think, "who is top abuser here?" "Where are my victims?" The currency in conservative circles is this abuse cycle that requires only those two roles. No wonder they can't construct jokes or perceive comedic dynamics. What is humor? Understanding our flawed humanity, and gently acknowledging each other. What is conservatism? A zero-sum game of dominance and subjugation where annihilation is the object. Humor can be devastating. But it becomes icky and abusive when the comedian punches down and demolishes a worthy, human opponent. The conservative worldview is that only one "team" or victor can survive, and annihilating them is the only goal. Rape, Pillage, kill and devastate the enemy. So what is left? Laughs? There's no room for that, no sense that that is a goal. We can be united by comedy. Conservatives are trying to fight an enemy they mistakenly perceive as warlike or deathly. Fighting to the death against opponents who are merely trading saucy quips. Abused cats and dogs fight this way when they never learned how to "play fight".... They think opening a vein and killing the opponent is the object of every simple discussion of ideas.
