Why Woke Comedians Aren't Funny

For the transgender community, I am more than willing to give you a hearing, but I have some conditions. You have to admit that Hannah Gatsby isn't

funny

, but she is a dog made entirely of crayons. I don't need it, ha ha ha. How

funny

, if she hadn't constantly assured me that she was a good comedian, she might have forgotten to laugh. This is how I'm going to meet your expectations, adjusting them now to be exactly what you're going to do. get and then I'll meet them and you go she's very good and yes I am but I cheat is it a laugh track in the background or does it have a sign that tells the audience when to laugh like they do on game shows and comedies because I can't understand why people think this is really funny and believe me, it's not better in context, although my expectations were met.

Dave Chappelle made a very bold statement calling Hannah Gatsby not funny long after watching her two Netflix specials, Nanette and Douglas, which ran over two hours. I didn't laugh out loud once the best she got out of me was a slight smile of satisfaction at this joke. Here now, fair warning, my observations will be about Americans, which, generally speaking, she's right, and I'm sorry, but. mocking Americans is still technically shocking, although that window is closing. That was her best joke in two hours and don't give me that, you don't think she's funny because she has different political beliefs, that's not the case, laughter is involuntary if someone says something really funny you'll laugh whether you want to or not, it's That's why there are like a million laugh-you-lose challenges on YouTube.

woke

comedians

aren't funny and there's a reason why

woke

TV shows and movies aren't good it's because the people who create these things don't care about the audience, let me elaborate, but first, if you like the content you see on this channel, please consider making a donation.

The exhibition a and will also include a fair dose and what I call a gentle and very good-natured jab at the patriarchy, so that's there, so it's very important, very important, that you expect that because it's there and if that doesn't It's your thing, go, I have given you many warnings. The number one rule for building a large audience is not to alienate a large portion of people by telling them not to watch. your show, the global crowd seems to love doing this by saying if you don't like it don't watch it or this show isn't for you every time one of their horrible shows clearly fails, Hannah's Netflix specials didn't take over with the audience and the potential. audience in mind because they're not good That said, I think her Douglas special best illustrates how little she's really interested in what the audience's preferences are, that's how that special starts, so that's what's going to happen even before start the program, right?

I will give you a very detailed, step-by-step description of exactly how the program will unfold. Now that this set of expectations continues a bit, I had to cut the actual show to fit it in. Yeah, that's what everyone wants when they go to a comedy show, a syllabus that ruins all the jokes, this was a very college professor way of writing a comedy special, but okay, there are two major problems with this design, one that people hate spoilers, remember in 2019 when everyone's marveling It was like, seriously, we'll kill you if you mess up the Avengers ending, remember how big a deal it was when Mark Ruffalo messed up Infinity War.

Wait until you see the next one. They all died, friend, not all. It's not that one, no alien, whatever, can we remember that part? Yes, I'm in trouble. Someone in the comments said that they actually ruined the ending of the game during this interview as well, but the point is that people don't like spoilers. This was a particularly stupid move by Hannah because making people laugh is all about surprise unless I've already heard the joke and approved of it in the past. If I can predict what you're going to say, it's not funny like this joke and you should expect a Louis CK joke too.

Now I only have one joke that wasn't. by the way the show hasn't started yet we're in the prelude the only joke is very good i only need one it's a good it's a good joke it's day off i'm so solid for louis ck's joke it's a microphone drop moment the interesting thing about the louis ck joke is that it happens very late in the show, so late that you'll have forgotten i told you to expect a louis ck joke there's hannah kissing each other's asses again there's no better sign of someone who's bad at something than a person who constantly insists that she is good, unfortunately the Louis CK joke is not supported on YouTube so I can't show it, however I can tell you that it was totally expected because she said it was on the show and then called me out on it. by saying I'd forget, guess what I didn't forget and when this big Louis ck joke finally appears at the end, it's like three seconds and if you looked away from the screen during the instant she told the joke it would completely go over my head.

The second problem with this introduction is a problem that has plagued the entertainment industry for years, which is stories that do not include an introduction, a hook, a hook, it is something that the audience will find interesting, there are many ways to hook audience, depending on the type of entertainment medium you're using to convey your message, but Hannah spends the first 14 minutes of the special introducing herself and telling all her jokes. This is not entertaining. That's all. That's the program. That's all you can hope for. The expectations have been. set up for the show to start now it should have started when you came on stage this situation reminds me of the new dune movie because this was actually my biggest problem with it the first 20 minutes of that movie were a giant exposition dump where nothing happens nothing entertaining until paul puts his hand in a box, seriously, I got so angry at movies that did this that I'll actually set a timer to see how long it takes for the movie to start.

I think the first Venom movie was the worst defender because it didn't start until almost half the movie was over, but it's especially annoying in this case with a story like Dune that has a 600 page manuscript that you can copy from. There's a reason Frank Herbert started the book with the scene where Paul puts it. your hand in a box, it's called an intro hook, you have to get the audience interested in your story before you throw a bunch of information at them about how your world works, tell the audience no, seriously, you have to memorize all this stuff before I beat you. an interesting scene is selfish writing.

The best thing about putting your hand in a box is that people can understand that scene without tons of backstory, not to say that the movie didn't do a good job at the time; It's actually a really good scene with Very good theatrical representation of Jedi mind control, what they call the voice, but the director should have started with that now. I think it's the best cinematic representation yet, but when you don't start with interesting things, people will ignore the exposition dump. You gave it to them at the beginning so they find the rest of the movie confusing.

Talking about confusion brings me to my next point about Hannah Gatsby's comedy specials several times during her specials. Her jokes are so poorly thought out that she has to explain them. For the audience, they know that for a long time she knew more facts about unicorns than about lesbians. Another reason I fought. There is no data on unicorns. If you have to explain the joke, it's not funny. The problem with this joke is that it can easily be interpreted in multiple ways that kill the humor, it is possible to have facts about fictional characters, for example, unicorns are fictional horses or, if you want to be super intellectual, you could have interpreted it like the old definition of a unicorn, which is a one-horned animal like a rhinoceros, then the joke would fall completely flat because rhinos are real.

Here's another example of Hannah explaining her joke, but here's the thing. I've never met a joke I didn't want to call back. I have never met one. Good morning, I never knew the meta joke about her, that's a play on words. Up date. This joke was so intellectual that either I'm too stupid to understand it or it was a really bad pun either way if you've written a joke that's like that. intellectual that alienates a large portion of its audience, then it needs to be rewritten, but people like hannah aren't going to understand that because they actively avoid or ignore criticism, for example, people criticized hannah's first netflix special, nanette, for being a lecturer and then with said jousting stick, I'm going to start breaking my hatred like a new, yeah, quick as you want, brand new, and the way I'm going to do it is by doing exactly what my enemies accused me of doing, which It's preaching to you like this in the In the middle of the program, I'm giving you a big lecture.

This is a valid criticism of that special because a large portion of it contains no jokes and was written that way on purpose. The best part about this review is that it's not political, it's No, I don't agree with that joke you said because I have a different politics. Instead, it's a criticism of her writing technique, meaning it's something that applies to all comedians, but instead of listening to those criticisms, she leans into them and makes the terrible mistake of intentionally designing her second special. like a lecture they want all of you to lecture them this is a lecture I can't imagine doing that you say you have tons of people telling you this is a bad design for a comedy show so give them more stuff they don't like it which is strange because you said in the intro that you were there to change his mind.

Let me tell you a personal story after my second year on YouTube, a lot of people were like, wow! The channel is 20 times larger than last year. The reason it grew so fast is because tons of people told me what I was doing wrong and I changed my behavior. What I didn't do was have many people tell me no. I don't want your comedy special to be a lecturer followed by me introducing my next special with a syllabus and ending with a PowerPoint presentation because when you care about people you memorize their preferences and also try to represent those preferences in the best possible interpretation. , but instead of doing that and that's why the woke crowd continues to be terrible writers instead of doing that they play the victim, I'm not a victim, that should certainly be easy to refute oh look, I found this Instagram post with hannah playing the victim card and it only took me like 10 seconds.

Hi Ted Sarandos, just a quick note to let you know that I'd prefer if you didn't drag my name into your mess. Now I have to deal with even more hate and anger that Dave Chappelle fans like to unleash on me every time Dave is given $20 million to process his emotionally stunted partial view of the world. You didn't pay me enough to deal with the real-world consequences of the hissing hate speech you refuse to acknowledge. but I thought they were just jokes, it certainly was just a joke when you did two specials attacking a straight white man.

Now, if at that moment you feel offended by anything I say in the joke section, remember that they are just jokes, even if you find them. You're surrounded by people who laugh at something you find objectionable, but actually the strangest thing about this statement from Hannah on Instagram is that she spent the entire Douglas comedy special talking about how much she loves hate and look, first of all place, it doesn't. It doesn't bother me, right, this doesn't bother me. Look, I still have the loud stick. I don't feel threatened. I actually like hate and again, naturally, how we deal with online hate is going to differ personally.

I like it. to eat it and if you thought we were done, you'd be wrong. I think she actually says that she likes hatefour or five times during the special. I won't show them all, but here's one last example that I've just been recounting. this stuff in one room at a time and the hate is already coming and it's targeted and it's poisonous but it doesn't bother me, just don't worry, I take it as a snack, it's fine, I find it really strange. someone who says she loves hate so much that she would eat it between meals would be so opposed to an event that would bring her more of something she loves.

I mean, I don't get offended when people offer me pizza. I love pizza. Hannah not only says that she likes hate, she says that she actively pushes the bear to get more at the end of that story. I'm going to do a little bit of what I call overcoming hate. It's where I bait my enemies. It's a very complex idea now, the way I'm going to do it is to just say one thing and I won't make any effort to achieve it. It's funny, you mean the whole show, anyway, this Instagram post isn't the only time that Hannah plays the victim, she also did it in her Douglas special, which comes right after the network comedy special where she said she's not a victim.

I have autism, why? Would I mention this? If you're brave enough to sit through the 1 hour and 12 minute special, you'll find that virtually none of the jokes are improved by knowing that, except for one quick joke, she tells about vaccines, which is strange because she claims that the entire show focuses on that particular mental condition, it should make the show funnier, but many of her jokes are told in a way that makes that information unnecessary, for example, she talks about a teacher she had as a child and describes A situation. where she asked stupid questions in class, she said: imagine a box and I could do that.

He had a special talent as a visual thinker. good three-dimensional solid box nothing special, but at that time he said that a preposition is a word that explains your relationship with the box but I had a question, I said: am I made of box? Have you ever taught kids before that kids say things like that all the time that really don't have much to do with autism? So did you say that in your special because it's relevant to a joke you're telling or did you say that in your special because having autism puts you in a protected class that will allow you to shout words like hate speech at anyone who has a dissenting opinion, like that?

That's how I see it first. Hannah did it. I didn't know she was autistic until she was almost 40 years old. Second, autism is an antisocial disorder that makes it difficult for you to understand people's social cues, but when I watch this comedy special, what do I see as a person speaking in public? in front of a large audience with a Netflix special performing one of the most difficult social skills, which is making people laugh. It takes an incredible amount of social intelligence to make a large audience think you're funny now. I certainly don't think she's funny. and I think a lot of people would agree, but at least she has her own crowd laughing, which suggests that she understands social cues maybe not to the level that Dave Chappelle understands them, but certainly more than the average person, so? at what point is this? a disability for which you can claim victim status, you clearly have no problem using the term hate speech, which is just a political silencing tool that has virtually nothing to do with actual hate.

Now I'll give Hannah some credit. Hannah has actually been the victim. of some pretty horrible crimes, unfortunately this is youtube so I have to say the youtube compatible version, but I'm sure you can understand what I mean in the next sentence. Hannah was the victim of a violent assault. She was a victim of involuntary sex as an adult and she was a victim of a very special childhood playtime as a child, these things are absolutely horrible and Hannah, I'm sorry you've had to experience that people who harm children are the worst kind of people, but when I say this next maybe you'll understand why I don't trust that hannah brought up her autism simply for comedic effect, because hannah and people like her are constantly trying to claim special status so that when things happen to them bad, receive special treatments.

Hannah describes her assault as a hate crime, which is a term used to describe that you have been the victim of assault but have a special status, so your assault is very special. This actually devalues ​​the experience of other victims of assault by saying that their experience is not as valid because they are not part of a protected group. What happened to Hannah was horrible and done by evil people, but constantly insisting that you're part of a special class leads you to think that certain behaviors are okay for you to do. but it is not right for other people to do it when in reality it is wrong if someone does it, for example, the only people who lose their humanity are those who believe they have the right to leave another human being powerless, they are the weak ones, Don't you see the irony?

From this statement, what do you think cancel culture is? You may not be physically harming the person, but you are taking away their ability to feed themselves or provide shelter for themselves and their families and many times it is worse than just losing your job, that's you. lose your job and these activists are so crazy that they will control you and make you lose your next job and the job after that, so how exactly are you the nice guy here when you write messages like this on Instagram that encourage canceling? Culture I showed sympathy for what happened to you, particularly the things that happened to you when you were a child, that's something I do all the time on this channel, but let me ask you: Did you show sympathy towards Dave Chappelle when he told the story of how his son died?

Dude, you said you saw all of his special, so you should know that the events leading up to that were committed by people who think they are part of a special class, so his bullying doesn't count, when do we ever see sympathy from of the crowd woke up to anyone not on their team, instead what we see is people like Hassan and Ethan laughing at a guy who died of kovid because he had political beliefs they didn't like. Okay, get on with the Hermann Kane Awards like me. come down hard on conservative commentators who are coveted and die like after God attacks them I'm taking one too you know what I mean yeah I'm taking God's sloppy seconds there so when they die I'll I celebrate well, for sure, I mean.

I'm a horrible person, so no, don't you know? If you want all the chaos to stop then you need to treat your opponents like humans instead of trash and I say that to people on both sides. On the political spectrum, if we don't start doing that and people continue to believe that they are the exception to the rule, so their bad behavior doesn't count, then bad things will continue to happen because this is where this rhetoric becomes dangerous, you know? ? why I love teasing straight white men by telling jokes about straight white men because they are such good sports that they say "oh good joke about me" maybe the real reason is that you're not afraid of them canceling you wow That's really brave. of you actually speak truth to power and go after the group that you know won't fight back.

Here's the thing: if you are allowed to criticize someone, then they are not in power. If you want to know who is really in power, then think about who. I'm not allowed to criticize look if you want to criticize me for being straight and a man or make jokes about it I have no problem I believe in freedom of expression but what I really find offensive is that you say you can criticize me but I'm not allowed to criticize you, that It's unfair, especially when the trash he says isn't even true, huh, so I don't have much experience with anger management, it's not my place to be angry in a comedy scenario that I'm supposed to do. self-deprecating humor people feel safer when men do angry comedy they are the kings of the genre when I do it alone I'm a miserable lesbian ruining all the fun with jokes when men do it heroes of free speech say things so because you're no good, anger can be funny whether it's coming from a male or female comedian, so if people don't laugh at it it's because you're not funny, so let's bring this home for a second because this video is about caring about other people, we can say that Hannah cares more about herself than her audience because she doesn't make an effort to adjust her material so that people find her funny and because she doesn't show sympathy towards people who don't agree.

I politically agree with her. That last part is really important now, if you followed my activity on the Internet, you would discover that I interact a lot with my viewers, but I also argue with people a lot. I do it because I'm trying to figure out what arguments work with people. For those who disagree with me, most of those arguments fail, but every once in a while you find a good one and then that gets captured in a video. Most importantly, what I really discovered after years of making videos is that most people don't care what you said.

At the end of the day, they only care about how you made them feel, apparently Maya Angelou said that, so if you just want to shout your opinion at someone who disagrees with you, nothing you say will matter, the other person won't remember anything about it. that, but if they said something like I believe what I believe because this bad thing happened to me a long time ago and you say wow I'm sorry you had to go through that I understand what you're saying that's how I think the problem could be A resolved conversation like that , where the disagreeing parties respect each other, will go ten times better than one where you just shout your opinions, even if in the end you still don't agree, good faith in building the relationship is the important part the older it is.

Also, I realize that the rules of debate need to change because if they don't change, one side will shout louder and win, and the side that loses will end up in a camp, which is why I don't like it when woke groups say horrible things. about straight white men and then saying you're not allowed to say anything about their group identity. Politics always ends in violence. The way we stop that is by realizing that we have common ground. The left will say that big monopolistic corporations are evil and everything they want. is to turn everyone into slaves, while the right will say that the big monopoly government is evil and all it wants is to turn everyone into slaves, in reality both things are true, a story can have more than one villain, but if we insist in shouting at each other.

To simply be right instead of solving the problem, the divide-conquer strategy will work and those two evil entities will get exactly what they want, so what we do is change the rules of the debate using techniques that help us understand each other and creating a system where we can all work together despite our ideological differences that starts by taking an interest in the people you are talking to, but with that being said I think it is enough for this video, so if you liked it press the like button, subscribe if you are new. comment and share if you want to support this channel, you can do so with paypal patreon or subscribe star.
