Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, February 01, 2010

Even if they have done some dumb, amusing things with their lives, conservatives are not given to self-deprecation, another shortcut to laughs. If Rush Limbaugh joked about Oxycontin, or Bill O'Reilly made falafel gags in the same way Letterman referenced his cheating, they might be more likeable.

Oh Lord, Its hard to be humble,
When you're perfect in every way.

I can't wait to look in the mirror,
I get better lookin each day....

Q. What does a Conservative with a 12" dick have for Breakfast?
A. Wisgod has bacon and eggs.

Hey, you forgot about Jeff Foxworthy. He's a conservative and funny guy.

"You might be a redneck if...."

Oh I think Conservatives are plenty funny! That you guys don't understand that level of humor is your problem.

Only conservative comedian that comes to mind is Dennis Miller. He used to be a little funny, but never laugh out loud funny.

Calling Dennis Miller a comedian is charitable.

If "Lick Bush" bumper stickers are your level of humor, then no wonder you don't get our jokes.

Calling Dennis Miller a comedian is charitable.

Go out and buy a dictionary. That might help.

Dennis was really funny. I was a huge Dennis Miller fan in the 90's. He lost his sense of humor on 9-11. He was honest about it. I stopped finding him funny, but he is still a comedian.

Dennis Miller is proof positive that "conservative humor" is an oxymoron.

No, not Oxy moron, that's Rush.

As is whatever else passes for comedy on Faux News... most of which must needs be unintentional.

Larry the Cable Guy, hilarious.

Others:
Dennis Leary
Drew Carey
Adam Sandler
Leslie Nielsen
Jeff Foxworthy
Bill Engvall
Ron White

-He was honest about it.

Yep. He said publicly that it made him piss his britches and become a Repube.

"Oxy moron, that's Rush." Now that's funny! Finally something worth reading from the Corkster.

if you had seen the MILLER show on oreiily where they took all of his segments from that year and put animation and pictures with some of his metaphors and things like that you might change your mind

hey look A DOUBLE POST

now thats funny right??

okay,...sorry

Damn, that is dumb even for you AFK. 9-11 and Miller not being funny has NOTHING to do with Obama as he was not funny before I even heard of Obama.

"letterman has turned into late CARLIN...just a pathetic MEAN old man."

I've never found Letterman funny, just pathetic. But Carlin has always been one of my favorites. Any comedian that can take a case to the Supreme Court has my vote. He did go off the deep end a bit late in life, but stuff from the 70s and 80s is fantastic. His expanded version of dirty words is the most hilarious thing I've ever heard.

Carlin was G-d. There is no style of humor he did not do better than anyone else.

Observational? Check
Political? Check
Weird? Check
Abstract? Check
Truthful? Check
Silly? Check
Honest? Check
Preachy? Check
Philosophical? Check

Almost everyone who self identifies as a liberal or a conservative isn't funny - and usually not very liberal or conservative either.

To be truely funny, you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. And people who identify with a rigid system for political thought tend to take themselves way to seriously.....

having a hard time finding something to disagree with about #21.

Larry the Cable Guy, hilarious.

Good list, Murph.

Most of them are funny, but I don't get funny from Adam Sandler, only infantile.

'Thumbs Up' for Jeff Dunham.

How can republicans compete when the left comes up with one liners like:

Hope and Change

I didn't inhale

That depends on what your definition of is is

They cling to guns and religion
I have a plan

I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy

The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries

UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? It's the Post Office that's always having problems.

The Cambridge police acted stupidly

The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system.

No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something.

I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.

What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith...

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.

I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go.

In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed.

I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day.

I enjoy cocaine because it's a fun thing to do. ... I enjoy the company of prostitutes for the following reasons: it's a fun thing to do. ... If you combine the two together it's probably even more fun.

You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking.

You know, education -- if you make the most of it -- you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.

You bet we might have.

I actually did vote for the $87 billion, before I voted against it.

Not only are we going to New Hampshire ... we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York! And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House, Yeeeeeaaaaaargh!

My vision is to make the most diverse state on earth, and we have people from every planet on the earth in this state. We have the sons and daughters of every, of people from every planet, of every country on earth.

"Carlin was G-d. There is no style of humor he did not do better than anyone else."

Towards the end of his career he wasn't very good at "funny" style.

It must be hard for them to have a sense of humor while constantly walking around with an ideological broom shoved way up their butthole.

Aw, come on man. Admit it. McConnell Boehner are charismatic as hell and light up any room they walk into.

A friend of mine's a conservative Jewish comedian.
He calls himself a "Jewpublican".

I should clarify.
He's conservative AND Jewish.
Not Conservative Jewish.

Go out and buy a dictionary. That might help.

Wouldn't help.

He's still not funny.

He hasn't looked in the mirror lately and doesn't realize he's not young and hip anymore.

Don't take it personally, Bill Murray is old and tired, too.

Both of them are every bit as funny as Bob Hope was just before he died.

Why not funny? Because all the jokers are on the left.

Dennis Miller is such a good comedian ------ his only memorable performance was a bit role in that cinematic classic known as Joe Dirt!

Conservative aren't funneh?

Well, not on purpose no but their unintentional humour is mostly hilarious.

Case in point... Victoria Jackson.

bighollywood.breitbart.com

More Ideas: 1) Glenn Beck's Program becomes a required high school and college course. Required reading being every book plugged on his show. 2) Propaganda Art If the Progressives can use it, so can the Constitutionalists. I encourage all artistic types to start pumping out the T shirts, posters, key rings, head scarves, socks and hats that say "Scott Brown" instead of "Che." Or skateboards, and boxers that say "James O'Keefe" and "Hannah Giles" instead of "Obama."

Mmm Mmm Mmm! That girl really brings the crazy!

Admittedly, batshiat lunacy on this level is a bit of an aquired taste.

Fer extra fun-points check out the comments section.

Everybody who thinks that communism is good for women should try soviet style lingerer and feminine hygiene products. It was capitalism that invented the Tampax.

^_^

Luffs it.

Be Well.

One more ...........

"Two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees."

It must be hard for them to have a sense of humor while constantly walking around with an ideological broom shoved way up their butthole.

ModerHate shows us, once again, what passes for humor on the Left

How can republicans compete when the left comes up with one liners like:

Easy!

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?"

"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family."

"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

"They misunderestimated me."

"There's an old saying in Tennessee I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says, fool me once, shame on shame on you. Fool me you can't get fooled again."

Did you guess who this famous idiot was yet?

and this is just one guy... shall we move on to the
republican perverts like the "wide stance guy" or the religious whackos?

You can't deny that Dumya's attempt at explaining sovereignty is funny. Pathetic, but funny nonetheless.

Yeah, I'll bet that's the kind of humor that drove her kids to joinng the Military.

"Most of them are funny, but I don't get funny from Adam Sandler, only infantile."

See some of his dramatic stuff. He can actually act. Hm. Odd. I don't like his humor.
