Comedy Tips For "Conservatives"

Well, the movie that was going to prove to Hollywood Liberal types that there's a gigantic army of "conservative" film-goers who are aching to see some real unapologetic "conservative" culture [I'm talking "An American Carol"] has come, stank and gone, in quick order.

What hard-right ideologues mean when they say "conservativism" can be best summarized as rank stupidity. These are clueless idiots, unaware that everything they believe in is garbage, because their brains are garbage.

"An American Carol" was supposed to be a comedy. It failed at that, because "conservatives" (who can do non-political comedy evidently) don't understand what the joke is when it comes to politics, ... because they're the joke.

In the scene with the Angel of Death in "American Carol" Michael Malone (a parody of Michael Moore) asks to go to Hollywood, because it (like Paris) is felt to be "cool" by the liberal-elitist, anti-American Moore. To his utter dismay Malone/Moore is shown a Hollywood totally dominated by Islamic fundamentalism, which is made even worse for Malone/Moore by a statue commerating his services to the Jihad that brought about this sad state of affairs.

The acting and dialogue in the scene is stilted and flat, but even aside from that, the premise simply isn't funny. A friend of mine said it would've been funny if it were done by leftists parodying "conservative" delusions, but that's something else entirely.

Presenting Michael Moore that way says more about "conservatives" than it does about why Moore deserves to be lampooned. Contrary to "conservative" conspiracy theories, Moore isn't a dupe for Al Qaeda who hates America. That's why the scene isn't funny. What would be funny would be taking off on things like the Republican "family values" Party having prayer breakfasts officiated by pastors high on crystal meth, or fake journalists getting into the White House Press Corps despite their second jobs as gay prostitutes. (Not because homosexuality is funny, but because the Repugs' delusions and hypocrisies about it are.) Similarly, it's funny when bush II is presented as an absolute moron, because he is. Just as most jokes about Bill Clinton being a sex-maniac are funny, because there's an iota of truth in there.

In short, "conservatives" don't just barf your paranoid theories up in front of people and imagine they'll get laughs just because you call them "comdey." Best to just stay out of politics in general, altogether.
