good question. some of their jabs aren't even about policy. like how John Stewart makes fun of Lindsey Graham's accent.

I'm sure a republican could think of a joke with just as little substance

Nick Di Paolo

Colin Quinn probably counts as a conservative as well.

They probably come off more as mean spirited.

A joke about Mexicans is probably less funny when you actually blame them for the reason the country is going downhill.

I dunno, conservatism is about maintaining the status quo & comedy is about challenging and confronting norms and social structures.

George Carlin was the best at making conservative AND liberal jokes without really pissing everybody off.

He attacks political correctness to fucking death in a lot of his work.

Jon Stewart attacked liberal politics on a regular basis. The conservative politians just did things much more often that were easy to make fun of. Because most of them are horrible people.

If you go too far in either direction it's "mean spirited" to the other side. Saying one of more mean than the other is an opinion.

I would also say that far left liberals are less likely to be okay with being made fun of and make more of a fuss about it than far right conservatives.

That said I'm sure conservative based comedians exist, but no network will run a show on them. So we have either politically neutral comedians or far, far extreme left liberal comedians (a lot of the late night TV shows run this shtick).

Maybe you could consider vulgar humor comedians "conservative comedians", because far left liberals don't like offensive humor based around stuff like gender or race?
