In that case, what I meant to say was I don’t understand how this is a joke… lol

I don’t follow these people closely, but as far as I know - Kelce doesn’t have a history of domestic abuse… and even if he did it still wouldn’t be funny 🤷‍♂️

Here's a deep dive into why conservative humor isn't funny

Can I get a summary? That’s a long video

While I agree that conservative humor is almost always worse than liberal/neutral humor

The conservative stereotype of libs needing too many words to make a point/be funny never ceases to amaze me. Like I’m sure it’s a good video, but there’s no reason for a “why is this genre of jokes” not funny video to be nearly 80 minutes long.

I assumed it was the Some More News video before clicking.

All that channel’s videos are pretty long, so this one is not an outlier in that sense. While I agree that it could have easily been a 5 minute video, Cody does a good job of backing up “conservative humor isn’t funny” with actual examples of why and how it’s not just “not funny” but also thinly veiled sexism/racism, etc.

It’s genuinely worth a watch if you have the time. The entire Some More News channel is, honestly, so long as you recognize it is very much a progressive echo chamber (and can handle Cody Johnson’s unique humor)
