Comedy has been political since its inception. Watch Lenny Bruce, Tom Lehrer, Franklyn Ajai, Mort Sahl, Flip Wilson, Pryor, Moms Mabley, Dick Gregory to name a few.


ETA: If you can find it The Watermelon Man with Godfrey Cambridge . Picture Archie Bunker waking up black, made in 1970

I stopped watching Dr Who this season a couple episodes in. Just couldn't take the heavy anti gun, must-be-inclusive-or-you're-a-racist BS. Same for the X-Files with their anti-Trump drivel. Lost late night interest long ago and SNL hasn't been funny since like 2001.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Yes, comedy has been political from the beginning but it is more and more becoming political hit-pieces that are being labeled "comedy" just so they can get away with it. I generally find I have no interest in any of the contemporary "comedians". My favorites from the past were largely liberal but nowhere near as foul or blatant as Samantha Bee and her ilk. I've rarely found SNL funny, even in the period touted as their prime. Today ... I'd just as soon put in a DVD or Bluray of some classic TV or pull up some anime on Crunchyroll or hell, make a dental appointment rather than watch SNL.

I've never been a big fan of "Doctor Who" but the current instantiation is just horrid. Jodie Whittaker is a fine actress but her portrayal is a huge break in personality. There was some nice continuity as well as distinctions in personality between the last 3 or 4 actors but you can really tell there's a completely different editor at the helm now.

I like when comedians are political, but taking shots at both sides.
