Well I didn't laugh once, because of the propaganda and insults to intelligence that I mentioned, but I suppose I have to accept that some might find it funny, everything's subjective etc... Can't imagine anything more than mild tittering though - the sound of people having their egos tickled and their ignorance & prejudices reinforced. Does that count as real comedy? Depends who's defining it. I would say no because I think (the best) comedy is about puncturing the pieties of the ruling elites, undermining their lies with truths, wittily articulated and pointing people towards different perspectives and interpretations of their daily struggles. Clearly mainstream comedians (sic) have different ideas, as does their audience who maybe just want distraction and a way to harmlessly let off steam in a way that changes precisely nothing. Eg this atrocity, getting absolutely lapped up by the audience:





(Though at least Peter Kay hasn't - to my not-at-all-extensive knowledge - used his 'comedy' to push for WW3.)

cheers,
