CruelBuffalo 09/01/20 5:24:25 PM #16:	CrimsonRage posted... i never saw king of the hill as conservative humour tbh. making fun of hippies was just a general part of 90s/00s comedy. I guess because king of the hill mocked everyone, I wouldnt call it conservative humor per se, but it mocked things that a conservative comedian would mock. But it would also mock things conservatives would do. Like compared to John Oliver who mocks liberals and conservatives but Idk if I have seen him really mock the left. Did he do a video on Bernie Math? <cite>CruelBuffalo posted [p:944089230] in BBC can...

gamer167 09/01/20 6:16:38 PM #32:	BadderHare posted... what if i told you political comedy isn't funny at all Political humor to most people is only as funny as how much it criticizes the opposite side. Take the upcoming election cycle for example, conservatives dont like Trump jokes just like liberals dont like Biden jokes. Then each will label the other as unfunny, tasteless, etc. Rarely will you find a source of comedy thatll make fun of both sides. Thats why shows like the Colbert Report where so great. <cite>gamer167 posted [p:944091229] in BBC can...
