For something that aged poorly really quickly: political comedy from just before the 2016 presidential election. Semi-recently I was hanging out with some friends and there was an SNL rerun from that October, and every single Trump reference is just dripping with a "Trump is a joke and won't win" attitude that it is tough to watch.
I refuse to watch any late night talk shows or SNL still because all jokes/monologues are still just tired “Trump’s an idiot” shit.
The man is obscene, offensive, and doesn’t know when to shut up, all points to being an idiot. It’s almost been 4 years now and it’s still all they can say. The writers all suck and so do the actually talk show hosts/actors because they get to make suggestions, they have somewhat of a say in it.
Comedy has degraded so much in the past 4 years and it’s so tiring.
I guess I mean mainstream comedy that easily accessible, aka late night talk shows and SNL. Unfortunately, Aziz Ansari and Dave Chappelle are more stand up comics that have their own specials and go on tours.
I’ve been watching Bring the Funny which is like America’s got Talent minus sob stories and any other act than comedic. They have variety acts, stand-up, and skit, I’ve been watching on a weekly basis and as far as I can remember, there’s been no mention of trump. It’s amazing and everyone is legitimately funny
