I mean, USUALLY that's true, but I will also point out that Aku from Samurai Jack is an exception to that rule. He's an unkillable, extremely powerful entity who is a goofy idiot that never truly wins against Jack. Usually because of his idiocy.
@@CorrectsYouwell in Aku’s defence, he can’t risk fighting Jack himself because his sword is the only thing that can kill Aku. The majority of Aku’s failings comes from just picking the wrong people to get the job done and in a lot of cases Jack is just an incredibly strong and capable protagonist. The same can’t be said for Mr. Burcham where we’re supposed to believe that the antagonist holds every social power against this random school teacher just because of “political correctness” which is just such a stupid concept on its own 💀
Honestly, Matt Walsh looks like he could be typecast as a math or biology teacher that requires one of the attractive female students to come over to his house for some "extra credit".
A show like American dad works because it makes fun of conservative and liberal values equally, king of the hill also works because hank is a hardcore conservative but also has the decency in him to want equal human rights for all groups of people
The characters in the other shows are actual characters, and not exclusively strawmen caricatures (for liberals) and steelmen caricatures (for conservatives) conservatives caricature themselves in the opposite direction as they do liberals.
That’s too generous. Most cheap knock-offs are more like original in quality and spirit than this show (did I disgrase word "show"?) is towards "King of the Hill".
There's a video of a lady being genuinely upset that a gay person was even in the show, Depsit being the antagonist. These people do not want us to exist at all.
@bettercallgaulsoodman”I hate minorities”. “Why” “Calm down LIBERAL it’s just DARK HUMOUR don’t get OFFENDED” This is why no one thinks that you are funny. Are you even aware that breaking bad/better call Saul have gay characters in it?
The liberal administrator being portrayed as incompetent and a threat works will with conservative. Humberto Eco said one tenet of fascism is portray your opponent as weak and strong at the same time.
@@TheGateShallStandso if someone is seen on camera doing a crime, they didn't do it despite it being unfalsifiable? Or someone writing the ideals of a certain idealogy without even hiding it, is that not unfalsifiable?
@@Air_Serpent The camera is not an accusation that is proof, proof is not unfalsafiable. But, if we are to accept that it might be, then the answer is still up for debate. If someone writes about an ideology, then it is entirely debatable if they follow those ideals, and thus it can be falsified. If they come out and say it, then it is no longer an accusation, it is a fact. Both of your points fall flat upon anything beyond surface level inspection.
Velma also at least has somewhat striking animation. The models also fall into that "adult cookie cutter look" when standing still, but the animation is fluid and has nice lighting and the ghost attacks look visually cool from what I've seen. I'll also give Velma another small point in that it apparently wanted to be it's own show, separate from any property but would only be picked up by WB if they based it off a pre existing thing. It's still not good, it's pretty bad. But I'll at least give it those over the fucking daily wire plus show
It does make a lot of sense for a conservative comedy to NOT NOTICE the inherent problem with an adult educator inviting a bunch of underaged children into their private residence without any professional supervision...
Especially to force them to work on their house for free. If a teacher told me in order to pass home ec class I had to go to their house at the crack of dawn on the weekend to clean their house and make their kids breakfast and I wasn't even getting paid, they'd call the cops and have them fired in minutes.
@@wolfetteplays8894 Lol sure hun. It’s totally cool to force your students to do unpaid labor for you. That’s what the founding fathers wanted. Also psssst: this is a puritanical country.
The jokes are also just written in the most unfunny way possible. The DMV joke could've been marginally funny if it went more like: Bercham: I made those benches recently, and even sold a few. Student: Cool! [runs over to sit on the bench] Ouch! Who would ever pay money for these? Bercham: The DMV. The incompetence of these writers is next level
It's the Daily Wire, did you actually expect competence? If Ben Shapiro couldn't get into Hollywood with his nepotism, you know, the only thing guaranteed to get you in, then you KNOW his stuff is less than garbage. It's why he threw a hissy fit and used his dad's film industry money to make his own production machine. For as much as Hollywood sucks, sometimes they really do know what they're doing and have halfway decent taste.
They didnt even get modern leftist look right, the man bun and flower stuff is very outdated, like it would have been outdated even three years ago😂 the man bun and scarf look havent been a thing since like 2017
Because the heart of conservatism is "privilege, which the privileged know to be indefensible, must never be questioned because it can't survive it, so it is your duty to never learn or grow or think in any way". And if that's your goal, the last thing you're going to do is "research". Dollars to donuts the "man bun" character is just how Carolla has been stereotyping anyone who disagrees with him since 2000, and nobody else changed it either because why would they?
Makes sense that their references for humor would be outdated, I've seen them use the same few pictures for the "triggered snowflake" they like to mock for over 8 years straight now.
They had an Angry Birds joke, so it's not that surprising how blatant it is this was written in like 2016 when the "TRIGGERED SJW" compilations were all over the internet
Conservative comedy is just acknowledging that liberal talking points exist and having the fact that said talking points exist be the entire joke and the reason you would laugh
@@mythcat1273 That's like saying "Hahaha, they say that gay people should be allowed to marry and women have a choice to do as they please with their own bodies... That's so silly that just saying it out loud IS the punchline!". It only works if your audience is bought into that. If they're not, then it's not funny in the slightest. It's like constant in jokes that only appeal to a certain echo chamber that'd clap if you said "Lol, Liberals..." and that's it. It's just more blatant pandering than anything Disney could produce, and the irony in that is funnier than any joke told in this show.
Lady Ballers was a right winger's dream. Punch down to get ahead, cheat (faul walk and double dribble excessively) and when you get beat using your own tactics quit and pretend to have some kind of high ground. Then your ex-wife, who left you for a liberal comes back because you learned nothing and haven't changed.
I think originally Lady Ballers was supposed to be a "documentary" about how easy it was for men to just say they were women and join women's leagues. Of course that delusion ran into the brick wall of reality when no women's league would accept that without a full transition which of course is a long, difficult and expensive process which of course none of the "actor" were willing to do so they basically wound up making a shitty Juwanna Mann ripoff.
"Because he's in the teacher's union, he only gets a three day suspension" So, I have several teachers in my family. All the time we hear shit about how teachers get away with all sorts of shit because they're in a union. I don't know if our unions are weak or anything, but all thet ime I hear nonsense about how "Teachers unions protect weak teachers and let them get away with everything". Dude - one of our teachers literally posted a picture of something, and a student's assignment was visible. You could only see it if you zoomed in and looked very VERY closely. They got suspended without pay for a week.
it varies on the school distract, in college I had to watch the John Stossel documentary "Stupid in America" which showed that students weren't doing so well in school due to it being very difficult to fire incompetent teachers and there was one point in the doc where they show a LONG list of steps to be taken, there's a thing called "Rubber rooms" where teachers that are deemed too incompetent to teach but can't be fired are forced to stay in a room for eight hours away from kids and they aren't allowed to do anything except sit there.
@@jadedheartsz Yeah, obviously he should go to my district. Violate the rules or commit an infraction? you're gone. If the District doesn't like you? They'll be following your every move and look for the first infraction. In my sister's first year of teaching? A student took out a sharpie and started marking a kid's neck. When the kid yelled "KNOCK IT OFF", my sister sent the student with the Sharpie to the office for initiating it. Sure enough? She was given a warning - because she "took sides". And for the next few weeks? Administrators who had gone missing for months were suddenly around every corner staring at her. Or the district where my aunt works at. Around the same time that documentary was produced? A student literally pulled out a hunting knife and a teacher grabbed him... and was fired because they "Touched a student". So literally for the next few years? students were running up to teachers and just attacking them - teachers couldn't retaliate and just had to take it. Unless an administrator saw it? There was no proof that it wasn't initiated. -.-; (Administrators? In the school? HA! Good one!) Tenure basically means they need to establish and prove "Just Cause" to fire you. When other places don't have that? Yeah - it's amazingly easy to fire.
@@rachelk4805 They seem to have them all confused with Police unions for sure! If a cop does something wrong and gets fired, they just get another job in another town. If a teacher gets fired? They have to move several states over if they want to do anything but deliver pizzas.
@@rachelk4805 Actually, it's fairly clear, and ominous, why conservatives support police unions. Because they see the police as the one thing that enforces their vision of law and order on everyone else.
I'm not Democratic or Republican but I don't understand what is so bad about calling out injustices in the world or our society. such as racism homophobia or any general bigotry or inequality. its almost like "how dare you try be a decent human being trying to treat everyone else as a valid equal human being."
While I don't have the time to type out a thorough answer to you, I can boil it down to this: Because depending on how far right you go, people believe the racism doesn't exist anymore because the civil rights "ended" racism, gay people are satanic and ruining the atomic family which means less babies and are shoving their "agenda" in everything, and trans people are pdf files who want to groom children. The issue is that due to how concentrated those talking points are through media, it seeps into even casual conservative talking points. It's weird to say but by default if you think any type of person is a valid human than you're already leaning left, at least in regards socially- in this political landscape.
It's because their value systems don't assign worth to individual expression outside of a preestablished norm. Rather, it's your expression _of_ said norms, that determine your place within a conservative social hierarchy. They don't value 'being themselves' so much as they value being 'normal', and while their definition of 'normal' may often change, who they're willing to _openly decry_ as *abnormal* is entirely dependent on who's surrounding them at the time, and whether or not they feel they hold a majority of power in any given situation. Take the 'the bully', for example. A bully's purpose is to inflict as much suffering as possible, _while retaining_ their place within the social hierarchy. Whether they're called out our caught, doesn't matter, only insofar as they *aren't* held accountable. The more power they have, either through strength in numbers, influence, or other intangibles, the more they understand they can get away with. It's the same with bigots. By calling them out, and refusing to tolerate _even subtle_ implications of hatred, you're forcing them to choose between silent indignation/reflection, or losing their place in the hierarchy. Moreover, they will only sacrifice their place on one ladder if it grants them a higher place on another. It's why we saw such a steep increase in outward expressions of bigotry after they were enabled by a demagogue. America went from being outwardly 'Christian Conservative' to 'Progressive', after the legalization of gay of marriage, however those people didn't go away. They quieted down until they felt the odds were in their favor.
I think you commenting on the whole "the liberal character needs to be both incompetent and a major threat" just highlights that this show was, indeed, written by fascists.
@@92JazzQueen I'm a political science student who is referencing Umberto Ecco's "14 points of Fascism" which is the founding text of identifying fascist behavior. Take it up with him if you have an issue.
I definitely wanna add something. I think the issue with mr birtchum, and the main thing that seperates it from king of the hill, is that it's made FOR conservatives and not made ABOUT conservatives. King of the hill is so brilliant because its about a conservative guy navigating his way through the modern ages rapid change. And this is a real struggle that conservatives have that I empathize with. Mr birchum is different though. Instead of being a heartfelt story about a conservative man trying to navigate his way through change and other stuff he doesn't understand, it's about proving a point that the writers have and reaffirming the points of the viewers. The other thing is that king of the hill doesn't alianize viewers who disagree with Hank Hill, while mr birchum does. Daily Wire has done exactly what they set out to destroy: making all of their content about spreading political agendas and nothing else.
I get this is just a short form of your comment, but it helps that Hank Hill is a good, nice guy. Even if you don't agree with him, you'd still want to hang out with him. He clearly loves his son and his wife. Mr Birchum is an asshole. If they had made his character at least attempt some level of kindness first and wrote around him being hyper conservative intertwined with being an overall okay guy, it would have maybe could have worked better? Obviously the jokes would have to be funny, but there's nothing likable about guy who goes: " I hate wife and gay and new thing"
Also, it's totally fine that Hank is an older (not old) more Conservative guy, because Hank - who's far from perfect - is a character capable of change. Hank is often confused (and downright irritated) by many things in life, but ultimately Hank is just another decent, hardworking person, capable of change - even if he has to be nagged into it by Bobby or Peggy etc. Hank *can* change, and ultimately, as a decent person at his core, Hank can at least respect things or people outside his comfort zone. That doesn't mean he's an enthusiastic advocate of things outside his own views, but, mostly, Hank's tolerant at some level of difference. And that's fine; people are nuanced, with many shades of character - Hank doesn't need to be perfect, just somewhat relatable - most people watching King of the Hill could at least make small talk with Hank, sharing a beer by a propane tank. Not so with these Rightwing characters, who don't change, don't show capacity for growth, don't have any purpose other than to trot out malicious, petty views about The Left/Woke Mob/whatever current buzzwords might connect with viewers. It's one thing to use mockery, insults and self-deprecating humour, but quite another if the intent behind such humour is genuinely, actively, deliberately *malicious* in its application. And that's where such rightwing 'comedy' and animation fails - it's genuinely trying to be toxic. Consequently, it fails - such shows struggle to reach any significant domestic audience, and fail completely on the international stage, whereas something like King of the Hill gets picked up and watched around the world for years. At this stage, I almost feel like saying to America's wretched Far Right over there: "How many times have we to teach you this lesson, old man..."
The thing about conservatives is when they say they don't like when TV/sports/video games/etc 'get political', they really mean 'politics they disagree with'. Look at their reactions whenever an athlete or celebrity says something left leaning, it's always "shut up and dribble" or "who cares what some out of touch celebrity thinks?", but whenever one says something right leaning, conservatives act like they're paragons of wisdom who have seen the one great truth of the world.
@@ahoythere4damn right, you’ll never hear a conservative say “Hmmm, that joke was a bit too political. I agree with what was said, but it shouldn’t be in the show/movie”. There’s a kind of bullshitting happening, and they’ll do wild mental gymnastics to prove their point.
@@brandonsclips7741Its similar to Ron Swanson from the early Parks & Recs episodes. His character was a stereotypical libertarian and a lot of the humour comes from him clashing with progressive society. However, Ron didn't come off as hateful or unlikable, because he was never JUST the stereotype. He had other characteristics and moments that showed a more rounded, humanized character. That builds empathy in the viewer so that even when he is acting in a way they might not agree with politically, they are still emotionally invested and more likely to feel sympathy towards the characte's plight.
Conservatives basically have two "Jokes". "PC Culture" jokes about "Can't say X" and "X identifies as Y" And they can't understand why nobody agrees with them
“Nobody agree with them” …A lot of people agree with them. Just because you purposely avoid leaving your bubble doesn’t magically mean “nobody agrees with them.” Nobody you hang out with agrees with them. This is such a ridiculous concept. NOBODY agrees with conservatives yet *somehow* they’re also a large enough demographic to get in the way of “progress.”
the gay teacher is an especially funny case cause he's for the most part a good person like taking up the job to find birchum despite not being appreciated, or him teaching kids about consent.
my favorite part of mr. birchum is when he said his awesome catchphrase, “Joe many liberals does it take to change a log by bolb????? None , their to busy ???? Their gender😂😂😂😂😂😂”
My favourite joke in the show is the vegan wolf skit because the vegan wolf isn’t even sick or malnourished, the other wolves just kill him because he’s different.
"Woke" is used because they finally realized "Communist/socialist" sounds completely tinfoil-hat crazy, and "Communist/socialist" was used when "n****r-lover" came to be deemed, shall we say, "impolite". But it all means the same thing to them.
The irony of Europreans labeling football as a girly version of rugby hen Americans view soccer as a girly sport lmao. You see, the difference is that European opinions don't matter, get on our level scrub.
Heck, why don't we Americans call our Football, "American Rugby / Amerugby / A.R.""? It has way more in common with Rugby than the sport where folks kick a ball around. Soccer = "Football" (because it's actually about playing ball with one's feet). Football = "Amerugby" (American Rugby, a weird form of rugby that's heavy on wearing padding, throwing and tackling). In the meantime, my USA self could use "Gridiron" and "Footie", respectively to describe the NFL-type sport and the FIFA-type sport.
8:53 He was not wrong though. The Birchum did make a donkey system that oppressed their grades, shamed them, and forced them to perform unpaid labor on his personal prope-THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BAD GUY! Oh, but he used "literally" TWICE, literally.
@@KraylebStudios Yet they think they are doing... ? Sure, we know Cons are just whining about everything, but what do they think they are doing? JK, we all know they are lying.
Conservative comedy is bad because it has to dance around its own point. It wants to be cruel, but it knows the rule of comedy is to punch up, so it’s incapable of being direct and has to pretend it has a moral point to make It comes to its conclusion first (this group of people are bad/annoying/should suffer), and then works backwards, looking for a way to make that point sound reasonable. So we get standups that are 10% jokes and 90% complaining that you can’t tell jokes, transphobic movies that pretend they’re about women’s rights and villains that don’t lose the moral high ground and instead act really stupid and annoying It all makes for confused, insincere, boring comedy
Ah yes, the same people who have no sense of humor and literally cannot go one day without mashing their keyboard on social media over nonsensical shit they saw as offensive are suddenly experts in comedy. It's funny because your whole entire criticisms of conservative comedy really just boil down to that one stand up comedy you saw on UA-cam and Lady Ballers which only came out recently. Ironically, although comedians are mostly liberal, historically they have always been under fire for saying things that were too problematic for terminally online leftists, so really now don't say you can tell the difference between normal comedy and conservative comedy because you really can't.

Like Lady Ballers, the main protagonist is an asshole who doesn't listen to anyome disregards the feelings of others, ignores them and only uses force to make his points. And the antagonists main problem seems to be that they're too "emotional" and "emphatetic" arguing that caring for other people is dumb and stupid, because you would need need to rethink your values or view of the world.

Googling Francisco Goya shows he was a liberal thinker and supporter of the enlightenment, not a right-winger. His artworks were also not lifeless like the Austrian painter's
I hate to focus on one 30-second-ish clip of the video, but I thought Goya was well regarded for painting by museum curators and art professors and stuff. I actually recognized the name Goya and immediately thought, “Goya was right-wing? What?”

He literally made them slaves.” Honestly, even with the dialogue trying to make the character sound ridiculous, that sounds like a mostly accurate description of what happened.
So the guy rightfully calling out his colleague for emotionally abusing his students and using them as free child labor is supposed to be the villain...Cool 😎
I would say these folks should just watch King of the Hill again, but that would probably lead them to grow as people, which they might find very painful
Whenever The Daily Wire or Ben Shapiro comes up with a work of fiction, they repeat one mistake. They write all of their characters as mouthpieces for whatever goes on in their brain. I'm pretty left leaning myself, but whenever I write fictional characters, even if they're supposed to live in a fantasy world, then I don't shy away from letting them have their own values, their own identity, separate from my own. More often then not I will go with whatever mindset fits the character most naturally, given their personality and background. I don't like to write them as one dimensional "heroes" or "villains" in regards to how their worldview differs from mine. They're supposed to be just people.... regular, flawed people.... who all have their part to play in the plot and tend to play it in accordance to their own personality. Folks like Ben Shapiro, Adam Carolla and their peers really enjoy doing the opposite: writing is like a therapy session for them in which they make clones of themselves into "the good guys" and (caricatures of) their opposition into "the bad guys" or "the dumb guys". The result is boring characters, who are basically just all alike in how they act and view the world. There's no fun in watching them interact with each other, play off of one another. Also, they don't feel "real", which makes it hard to empathize with them or like them. You can keep telling me that I have to like the protagonist, but if the protagonist comes off as an NPC rather then an actual person, I won't care. When you're focused more on making propaganda then on making a good show, then you'll end up with a pretty terrible show. Luckily.... Once they learn how to be more subtle, they'll become more dangerous and effective.
The difference between this and King of the Hill (which it CLEARLY wishes it was) is that Hank Hill is written like an actual person. He’s a genuinely good guy who wants to learn and change, and his struggles come from actively trying to adapt into a more progressive world view; he’s a character that conservatives can see themselves in but everyone wants to root for. Contrast with Mr. Birchum, where every single character is written to be an outwardly political caricature. It’s not written as an actual story, but a mouthpiece for the creator’s views that only appeals to the people who already ARE radicalized.
The people who say that "today's comedy is just not funny anymore because everything get's censored", when they find a platform that doesn't censor them and they now actually have to be funny:
@@TheEmeraldWeirdoOr funds for a project that they’re actually passionate about. Like how Natalie Portman only did “Your Highness” because it was uncertain whether “Black Swan” would get green lit and wanted to get funds for it just in case.
Yeah- knowing Patrick Warburton and Danny Trejo are in this was genuinely the most upsetting part of this. I really hope they're just in it for the money- that, I could half-understand.
It’s also interesting how conservative comedy paints these straw man villains of regular “lib” characters- whereas even in left wing media, cartoons etc, oftentimes the right wing characters will be humanized and shown as misled and broken or whatever, eventually. Because that reflects what we see irl (see the trope of “your racist uncle at thanksgiving”, for example). I mean in left of center media the conservative non-politician characters are usually just shown as like regular people amongst the other characters, such as coworkers etc. The only time there’s a right wing evil villain is typically when they’re depicting an actual powerful person & capitalist, not an average Joe who happens to be right wing/brainwashed. Idk this is all over the place but
Thats cause liberal bullshit is only ment to be propaganda. It no doubt shows the characters lives getting better after becoming a democrat tooo… trueth is yalls cant make comedy
Only in the most far-left shows are average right wingers portrayed as strawmen... And in works even further right than Mr. Birchum, lefties go from "strawmen" to "evil monsters"
I sincerely dont think a teacher like Mr. Birchum would have done himself any favors by demanding his entire class go to his own home to build him a brand new deck for free at six AM on a Saturday. The sale in eggs would definitely go up in that town by Sunday when every student involved is perfectly fine with launching eggs at Mr. Birchum's home with it's new (poorly) built deck.
See, the thing about King of the Hill is that the ideology of the show really isn’t inherently conservative. While it certainly has a lot of the aesthetics of the conservative movement (meat eating, beer drinking in Texas, a general resistance to change etc.) the show itself is rarely political. The showrunner Mike Judge wasn’t setting out to create a conservative sitcom to trigger the snowflakes like Birchum, he was just setting out to make quality episodes and I think the results speak for themselves.
@@myfriendscallmepat I'd say King of the Hill was more Center than it was hard conservative or Alt-Right. IMO, if DW would get their heads out their butts and make something more politically to the Center and subtle while making fun of the worst aspects of the Hard Left and Hard Right, they'd actually have some success I think.
That's not entirely true. Just about the only time Hank ever mentions politics is when he mentions George H Bush. He even shakes Bush's hand and it was a weak handshake and thought twice about voting for him. He's certainly traditional but not EVER overtly political.
King of the Hill is comedy about a conservative, but I wouldn't personally call it "conservative comedy." Hank is a conservative middle-aged man, but whenever he expresses his worldview, it's the character talking, not the writer. When Mr. Birchum expresses his worldview, he's clearly a mouthpiece for the writers' own views.
@@DrMechanoAgreed. I haven’t watched King of the Hill in years, but I’ve watched a lot of commentary videos about it and from what I can tell it seems pretty progressive for its time. To me, Hank Hill is similar to Archie Bunker. He’s a working class conservative stereotype and not meant to be a role model (though I would consider Hank to be a much better role model than Archie). He’s an antihero rather than a protagonist.
De Goya had republican (in the meaning of the word not the party) ambitions and opposed the Spanish monarchy, he was literally a left wing progressive. He would pe have agreed with some contemporary conservative stances, but that's what a couple centuries does. His classist disdain of common folks that serves as "proof" of him being right wing, is just him being an elitist ass hole - nothing more.
I'm an anti-monarchist Canadian (who is ironically enjoying a three day weekend right now in honour of that imperialist monster Victoria) and that party has made it feel icky to refer to myself even as a lower-case R republican.
All those conservatives are right! People should stop being accepting and kind to other people who aren't exactly like them! Smh I can't believe people are trying to make out that everyone deserves to have rights ugh.
They are losing a war they started, against an enemy that is almost nonexistent (since they are waging it against parodies of people that usually dont even try to stand out).
King of the Hill worked because Hank had his opinions, but also was balanced with some of his opinions made him look foolish. His interactions with friends, family and Bobby allows a perfect back forth for balance. Hank wants Bobby to less liberal and his Cotton is too right wing and Hank struggles for his approval and often accepts Bobby's dreams, although grungingly. I believe the protagonist in this show is written as a guy who is never really wrong and the antagonist is written in an extreme unrealistic way. The show could not achieve the balance that King of the Hill had because the writers were conservatives who didn't understand that liberals like them have different levels and depth in their beliefs.
This is something conservatives never get with comedy. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a great example. We aren't supposed to be laughing with or sympathizing with the sociopathic terrible characters in It's Always Sunny, but laughing at how absurd their horribleness is. Conservatives will call a gay person the F word and be like hahaha, it was a joke.
True, but American Dad was doing the opposite of this show- same super-conservative style main character, but it actually paints him as the fool, and the episodes are about him actually learning lessons and realising how his worldview is holding him back. Like, as insensitive and nuts as he still is as a character, he unlearned his homophobia like a champ over the course of a bunch of episodes, even to the point of trying to explain why homophobia doesn't make sense to a really homophobic character, and trying to take him step-by-step through the same realisations he made himself to unlearn it. It didn't work, but it clearly showed how far he's come with it himself. I genuinely love American Dad at this point. It's dumb, surreal and still has plenty of shock value stuff, but it knows it, and leans into the silliness while still being pretty damn smart at times, not to mention fully shedding the mean-spiritedness of its early seasons. It's just a good, silly time now.
Before Mr. Birchum, I never had seen a show that felt like it was just narrating the script to you. The took the concept of "show, don't tell" in writing and decided it was a liberal value so they had to do the opposite.
I distinctly remember Adam Corolla hosting "Love Line" with Dr. Drew on the radio, and talking about how annoying Christians were, being cool with trans and gay callers, and that one time when he hung up on Ann Coulter and laughed at her. What the actual Hell?
Does no one else find it weird that our supposed MC is a patriotic middle aged man with a moustache who happens to be a war veteran, teaches children, hates leftist ideas which I assume includes socialism, goes on angry rants and people cheer for him every time he does it? Like does no one else find it somewhat ironic or concerning?
I was about to get mad because Danny Trejo is NOT a C lister by any means, but then I realized Roseanne is much LOWER than a C lister, so it ultimately balances out to being even, carry on.
I think political comedy CAN work, but the problem is that the people who try don't understand comedy at all and just prioritizes the political message
3:05 Some of those shows on that list are actually good like Fired on Mars, My Adventures With Superman, Fiona & Cake, Blue Eye Samurai, and Scavengers Reign. Please don't lump them in with Daily Wire's garbage
Yeah that was weird. I was like "wtf most of those are good" I think he might have just put in 'Adult animation' on Google or HBO or something and took a screenshot
You are the kind of person, it seems to me, who bans people from groups for pointing out Hamas is a terrorist organization. That's the real problem anyone sane has with "wokeness" you know, that the woke mob acts exactly as fascist as the MAGAts. I am not a Republican, but the woke mob is real, and they all talk like this.
conservatives focus so much on comedy being offensive, that they don't realize the worst thing a joke can be is boring. I'm not rolling my eyes bc you upset my PC sensibilities, it's because you're reusing the same jokes you heard in the locker rooms in the 90s
If the conservatives want influence, they need to dig deep through history and recover the old traditions and wisdom that were good, and then create a beautiful alternative to focus on, instead of grifting about what they're opposed to.
Here's a good example of that conservatism: Confucianism Even by the Ming Dynasty, which reigned during the middle ages, Confucianism taught the same family practices as it did thousands of years ago, and it worked splendidly
The show that is similar to Mr Birchum is King of the Hill, and that portrays a conservative character in a much better way. Hank Hill learns more about life and the changing world, and he comes to understand it, it gives a proper way of showing how someone who's conservative can learn and adapt to a growing progressive world.
The reason adult cartoon work is they are self-aware and their gags subvert expectations. Conservative comedies just use complaining and persecution complex as "comedy." They are so bad
It's real sad to think this but it's probable that within a few years we'll have another SpikeTV analogue (men's channel for real mens men etc) to cater to the Tater Tots and Alpha Grindset Bros... and their best show will be "the Old Man Show" starring Adam Carolla and Joe Rogan. I'm calling it now- there's at least one current conservative influencer/congresswoman as a juggy dancer, and the best part of that show will definitely be elderly Bas Rutten doing whatever TF he wants
Oh my god; THE GOODE FAMILY did the vegan dog joke 15 YEARS AGO. Imagine being a supposed sitcom and being beaten to the punch by a show that didnt even last a year!
They are more focused on being offensive to ✌The Libs✌, they forget to try making it funny. I watch a whole set of Rosanne and Rob Schneider comedy special. Half the time I was confused on what was supposed to make some of their jokes funny. It's like they come up with the opening and forgot what was the punchline.
And they defend it by saying "Offensive comedy is a thing!" ... yeah, like Ace Ventura or The Mask or many other 90s comedies. The goal with those is to offend everyone and get laughs doing it, not just piss people off.
Well South Park and certain Family Guy seem to have anti-trans segments that far left liberals seem to forget about. Strong Woman definitely shows the insanity of the far left atheists.
Those shows would be considered "woke" seeing how Roger crossdresses a lot and Peggy actually befriended a drag queen once and Dale's dad is openly gay....
@@URFTBOUND4LIFE You forgot Dale is portrayed as crazy for believing in conspiracy theories. And staying with his wife even though she obviously had an affair.
@@isaac6077 Depends on the episode. He's literally just meant to be an opposite of Stan - a 'not American' refugee to the point of not even being from Earth, very non-Christian, extremely not straight or cis, a constant lawbreaker, in hiding from the CIA, etc. etc.- all of these things are direct opposites of Stan's characteristics. And yet, they're clearly friends to the point of him being genuinely considered part of the family. None of them are entirely written as the "good guy" or "bad guy", they're just characters with different dynamics. There's even a full episode acknowledging how he basically gets away with everything because of how likeable he is, so we're obviously not supposed to hate him, even when he know he can be a straight-up monster sometimes. That's just the show's dynamic- it's not trying to say 'this character bad' or 'this character good' like this lazy conservative show is doing. Because it's actually about characters being written in a fun way and putting entertainment first instead of a lazy 'I'm right you're wrong' political message like the show in this video.
3:06 Off topic but it’s so weird seeing “ My Adventures with Superman” and “Fiona and Cake” lumped in here. That has to be a mistake. And shows like “Scavengers Reign” and “Blue Eye Samurai” are legitimately *WORKS OF ART* that everyone should watch.
Like literally half those shows listed shouldn’t be there. Fired On Mars is one of the more unique adult comedies that stand out with its more grounded apeculative fiction premise. Royal Crackers is one of the more unhinged shows that I wouldn’t call generic and have one of the most investive character and world building out of all shows. Unicorn Warriors Eternal is a show made by Genndy Tartakovsky. Nuff said. And Digman is one of the funniest affectionate parodies to Indiana Jones, to the point where it is actually better than the recent film. I think this guy barely did much research when it cones to bad adult animation and just chose random ones. Like the only actual bad ones are Velma and Castlevania Nocturnal Blood (not its predecessor Castlevania which was actually good).
This show just proves my theory that woke doesnt mean anything, its just a term conservatives use to describe something they dont like It used to mean something, coined by black people to mean being aware of social injustices, but nowadays I guess minorities existing and people fighting for human rights is considered "woke"
It's the latest in a long line of words conservatives appropriated because they can't create anything themselves. "Woke" is basically just the replacement for "SJW" (which itself replaced "politically correct," and so on, all the way back to just calling it black-loving with the hard "r").
Oh, are they simultaneously portraying their supposed enemy as simultaneously weak and strong? Gee, why does that that sound familiar.. hmm… (Spoiler: it’s fascism)
The moment you said it was from the daily wire it all made sense, everything about the show seems bad, from the stereotypes, and jokes, to even the story beats, great video! Keep up the good work
Its not that conservative comedy doesnt work. King of the hill worked. It's that when you're trying to make a point more than a joke it falls flat. It's why Colbert sucks nowadays.
9:35 - I'll never understand this anger some people have about being married and how they clearly hate it, but they'll still fight tooth and nail by claiming that how supposedly important it is to maintain traditional family values and ban others from being able to marry.

The trope that Antagonists are simultaneously an unstoppable threat and completely incompetent is the hallmark sign of a bad story
You'd think such a blatant oxymoron in writing would be caught in the cutting room floor, but that would require giving a shit.
I mean, USUALLY that's true, but I will also point out that Aku from Samurai Jack is an exception to that rule. He's an unkillable, extremely powerful entity who is a goofy idiot that never truly wins against Jack. Usually because of his idiocy.
@@CorrectsYouwell in Aku’s defence, he can’t risk fighting Jack himself because his sword is the only thing that can kill Aku. The majority of Aku’s failings comes from just picking the wrong people to get the job done and in a lot of cases Jack is just an incredibly strong and capable protagonist. The same can’t be said for Mr. Burcham where we’re supposed to believe that the antagonist holds every social power against this random school teacher just because of “political correctness” which is just such a stupid concept on its own 💀
It's just, "Schrodinger's Liberal," is all...
@@CorrectsYou but isn't that like the joke of Samurai Jack? That it plays on this exact trope?
Can you imagine how furious Matt Walsh would be if a teacher forced his child to go over to their house outside of school hours??
He never has to worry about that because they're homeschooled, where he is free to "violate [his] kids' consent all the time"

@Kite403 i mean, in Birchum its was without even *permission*, from the parents *or* the school, that's technically kidnapping.
I didn't know he had children.
Honestly, Matt Walsh looks like he could be typecast as a math or biology teacher that requires one of the attractive female students to come over to his house for some "extra credit".
A show like American dad works because it makes fun of conservative and liberal values equally, king of the hill also works because hank is a hardcore conservative but also has the decency in him to want equal human rights for all groups of people

@@HashknightGaming This is like the lampooning caricatures of Moral Orel with twice the hate in its heart and a quarter of the talent.
Well, Hank is also just a normal simple dude. Not a ridiculous caricature.
Characters in King of the Hill also work primarily because they are actually CHARACTERS and not just the writers doing a self-insert lmfao.
The characters in the other shows are actual characters, and not exclusively strawmen caricatures (for liberals) and steelmen caricatures (for conservatives) conservatives caricature themselves in the opposite direction as they do liberals.

The liberal administrator being portrayed as incompetent and a threat works will with conservative. Humberto Eco said one tenet of fascism is portray your opponent as weak and strong at the same time.
I’ve heard this quote before and this fits perfectly.
ah Humberto Eco the man who made fascism an unfalsifiable accusation
Any accusation presented as unfalisfiable, should not be an accusation taken seriously
@@TheGateShallStandso if someone is seen on camera doing a crime, they didn't do it despite it being unfalsifiable? Or someone writing the ideals of a certain idealogy without even hiding it, is that not unfalsifiable?
@@Air_Serpent The camera is not an accusation that is proof, proof is not unfalsafiable. But, if we are to accept that it might be, then the answer is still up for debate.
If someone writes about an ideology, then it is entirely debatable if they follow those ideals, and thus it can be falsified. If they come out and say it, then it is no longer an accusation, it is a fact.
Both of your points fall flat upon anything beyond surface level inspection.
This show is like Velma in terms of the writers venting there frustrations just on the other side of the coin rather than be idk good
I really wanted this to be a reverse velma, but it's just lame bad instead of bafflingly bad
Velma was honestly edgier than this
Velma was at least interesting enough to warrant attention.
This channel can't admit velma is bad because they cant go against the narrative
Velma also at least has somewhat striking animation. The models also fall into that "adult cookie cutter look" when standing still, but the animation is fluid and has nice lighting and the ghost attacks look visually cool from what I've seen.
I'll also give Velma another small point in that it apparently wanted to be it's own show, separate from any property but would only be picked up by WB if they based it off a pre existing thing.
It's still not good, it's pretty bad. But I'll at least give it those over the fucking daily wire plus show
It does make a lot of sense for a conservative comedy to NOT NOTICE the inherent problem with an adult educator inviting a bunch of underaged children into their private residence without any professional supervision...
Not really inviting, more like forcing.
that's neopuritanism thought.
What’s that thing that self-identified conservatives get hot and bothered over? Rhymes with “brooming”…
Especially to force them to work on their house for free. If a teacher told me in order to pass home ec class I had to go to their house at the crack of dawn on the weekend to clean their house and make their kids breakfast and I wasn't even getting paid, they'd call the cops and have them fired in minutes.
@@wolfetteplays8894 Lol sure hun. It’s totally cool to force your students to do unpaid labor for you. That’s what the founding fathers wanted.
Also psssst: this is a puritanical country.
The jokes are also just written in the most unfunny way possible. The DMV joke could've been marginally funny if it went more like:
Bercham: I made those benches recently, and even sold a few.
Student: Cool! [runs over to sit on the bench] Ouch! Who would ever pay money for these?
Bercham: The DMV.
The incompetence of these writers is next level
That's is because modern conservative comedy is beat you over the head with the obvious joke, rather than be witty or funny.
That would require nuance and competence. They're too lazy for that
It's the Daily Wire, did you actually expect competence? If Ben Shapiro couldn't get into Hollywood with his nepotism, you know, the only thing guaranteed to get you in, then you KNOW his stuff is less than garbage. It's why he threw a hissy fit and used his dad's film industry money to make his own production machine. For as much as Hollywood sucks, sometimes they really do know what they're doing and have halfway decent taste.
They didnt even get modern leftist look right, the man bun and flower stuff is very outdated, like it would have been outdated even three years ago😂 the man bun and scarf look havent been a thing since like 2017
Because the heart of conservatism is "privilege, which the privileged know to be indefensible, must never be questioned because it can't survive it, so it is your duty to never learn or grow or think in any way". And if that's your goal, the last thing you're going to do is "research".
Dollars to donuts the "man bun" character is just how Carolla has been stereotyping anyone who disagrees with him since 2000, and nobody else changed it either because why would they?
Conservatives are always "behind on the times" . Even in todays information age, it takes a Conservative 10 years to catch up.
Makes sense that their references for humor would be outdated, I've seen them use the same few pictures for the "triggered snowflake" they like to mock for over 8 years straight now.

Like how Lady Ballers had no jokes or punchlines, it was just a string of radicalized right-wing talking points from start to finish.
Conservative comedy is just acknowledging that liberal talking points exist and having the fact that said talking points exist be the entire joke and the reason you would laugh

It's like constant in jokes that only appeal to a certain echo chamber that'd clap if you said "Lol, Liberals..." and that's it. It's just more blatant pandering than anything Disney could produce, and the irony in that is funnier than any joke told in this show.
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465its not like that. thats literally just what it is 😆
Lady Ballers was a right winger's dream. Punch down to get ahead, cheat (faul walk and double dribble excessively) and when you get beat using your own tactics quit and pretend to have some kind of high ground. Then your ex-wife, who left you for a liberal comes back because you learned nothing and haven't changed.
I think originally Lady Ballers was supposed to be a "documentary" about how easy it was for men to just say they were women and join women's leagues. Of course that delusion ran into the brick wall of reality when no women's league would accept that without a full transition which of course is a long, difficult and expensive process which of course none of the "actor" were willing to do so they basically wound up making a shitty Juwanna Mann ripoff.
"Because he's in the teacher's union, he only gets a three day suspension"
So, I have several teachers in my family. All the time we hear shit about how teachers get away with all sorts of shit because they're in a union.
I don't know if our unions are weak or anything, but all thet ime I hear nonsense about how "Teachers unions protect weak teachers and let them get away with everything". Dude - one of our teachers literally posted a picture of something, and a student's assignment was visible. You could only see it if you zoomed in and looked very VERY closely. They got suspended without pay for a week.
it varies on the school distract, in college I had to watch the John Stossel documentary "Stupid in America" which showed that students weren't doing so well in school due to it being very difficult to fire incompetent teachers and there was one point in the doc where they show a LONG list of steps to be taken, there's a thing called "Rubber rooms" where teachers that are deemed too incompetent to teach but can't be fired are forced to stay in a room for eight hours away from kids and they aren't allowed to do anything except sit there.
@@jadedheartsz Yeah, obviously he should go to my district. Violate the rules or commit an infraction? you're gone. If the District doesn't like you? They'll be following your every move and look for the first infraction.
In my sister's first year of teaching? A student took out a sharpie and started marking a kid's neck. When the kid yelled "KNOCK IT OFF", my sister sent the student with the Sharpie to the office for initiating it. Sure enough? She was given a warning - because she "took sides". And for the next few weeks? Administrators who had gone missing for months were suddenly around every corner staring at her.
Or the district where my aunt works at. Around the same time that documentary was produced? A student literally pulled out a hunting knife and a teacher grabbed him... and was fired because they "Touched a student". So literally for the next few years? students were running up to teachers and just attacking them - teachers couldn't retaliate and just had to take it. Unless an administrator saw it? There was no proof that it wasn't initiated. -.-; (Administrators? In the school? HA! Good one!)
Tenure basically means they need to establish and prove "Just Cause" to fire you. When other places don't have that? Yeah - it's amazingly easy to fire.
I don't know why conservatives hate teachers unions but support police unions.
@@rachelk4805 They seem to have them all confused with Police unions for sure! If a cop does something wrong and gets fired, they just get another job in another town.
If a teacher gets fired? They have to move several states over if they want to do anything but deliver pizzas.
@@rachelk4805 Actually, it's fairly clear, and ominous, why conservatives support police unions. Because they see the police as the one thing that enforces their vision of law and order on everyone else.
I'm not Democratic or Republican but I don't understand what is so bad about calling out injustices in the world or our society. such as racism homophobia or any general bigotry or inequality. its almost like "how dare you try be a decent human being trying to treat everyone else as a valid equal human being."
While I don't have the time to type out a thorough answer to you, I can boil it down to this:
Because depending on how far right you go, people believe the racism doesn't exist anymore because the civil rights "ended" racism, gay people are satanic and ruining the atomic family which means less babies and are shoving their "agenda" in everything, and trans people are pdf files who want to groom children. The issue is that due to how concentrated those talking points are through media, it seeps into even casual conservative talking points.
It's weird to say but by default if you think any type of person is a valid human than you're already leaning left, at least in regards socially- in this political landscape.
It's because their value systems don't assign worth to individual expression outside of a preestablished norm. Rather, it's your expression _of_ said norms, that determine your place within a conservative social hierarchy.
They don't value 'being themselves' so much as they value being 'normal', and while their definition of 'normal' may often change, who they're willing to _openly decry_ as *abnormal* is entirely dependent on who's surrounding them at the time, and whether or not they feel they hold a majority of power in any given situation.
Take the 'the bully', for example. A bully's purpose is to inflict as much suffering as possible, _while retaining_ their place within the social hierarchy. Whether they're called out our caught, doesn't matter, only insofar as they *aren't* held accountable. The more power they have, either through strength in numbers, influence, or other intangibles, the more they understand they can get away with.
It's the same with bigots.
By calling them out, and refusing to tolerate _even subtle_ implications of hatred, you're forcing them to choose between silent indignation/reflection, or losing their place in the hierarchy.
Moreover, they will only sacrifice their place on one ladder if it grants them a higher place on another. It's why we saw such a steep increase in outward expressions of bigotry after they were enabled by a demagogue.
America went from being outwardly 'Christian Conservative' to 'Progressive', after the legalization of gay of marriage, however those people didn't go away. They quieted down until they felt the odds were in their favor.

I definitely wanna add something. I think the issue with mr birtchum, and the main thing that seperates it from king of the hill, is that it's made FOR conservatives and not made ABOUT conservatives. King of the hill is so brilliant because its about a conservative guy navigating his way through the modern ages rapid change. And this is a real struggle that conservatives have that I empathize with.
Mr birchum is different though. Instead of being a heartfelt story about a conservative man trying to navigate his way through change and other stuff he doesn't understand, it's about proving a point that the writers have and reaffirming the points of the viewers. The other thing is that king of the hill doesn't alianize viewers who disagree with Hank Hill, while mr birchum does.
Daily Wire has done exactly what they set out to destroy: making all of their content about spreading political agendas and nothing else.
I get this is just a short form of your comment, but it helps that Hank Hill is a good, nice guy. Even if you don't agree with him, you'd still want to hang out with him.
He clearly loves his son and his wife.
Mr Birchum is an asshole. If they had made his character at least attempt some level of kindness first and wrote around him being hyper conservative intertwined with being an overall okay guy, it would have maybe could have worked better? Obviously the jokes would have to be funny, but there's nothing likable about guy who goes: " I hate wife and gay and new thing"
Also, it's totally fine that Hank is an older (not old) more Conservative guy, because Hank - who's far from perfect - is a character capable of change.
Hank is often confused (and downright irritated) by many things in life, but ultimately Hank is just another decent, hardworking person, capable of change - even if he has to be nagged into it by Bobby or Peggy etc.
Hank *can* change, and ultimately, as a decent person at his core, Hank can at least respect things or people outside his comfort zone. That doesn't mean he's an enthusiastic advocate of things outside his own views, but, mostly, Hank's tolerant at some level of difference.
And that's fine; people are nuanced, with many shades of character - Hank doesn't need to be perfect, just somewhat relatable - most people watching King of the Hill could at least make small talk with Hank, sharing a beer by a propane tank.
Not so with these Rightwing characters, who don't change, don't show capacity for growth, don't have any purpose other than to trot out malicious, petty views about The Left/Woke Mob/whatever current buzzwords might connect with viewers.
It's one thing to use mockery, insults and self-deprecating humour, but quite another if the intent behind such humour is genuinely, actively, deliberately *malicious* in its application.
And that's where such rightwing 'comedy' and animation fails - it's genuinely trying to be toxic. Consequently, it fails - such shows struggle to reach any significant domestic audience, and fail completely on the international stage, whereas something like King of the Hill gets picked up and watched around the world for years.
At this stage, I almost feel like saying to America's wretched Far Right over there: "How many times have we to teach you this lesson, old man..."
The thing about conservatives is when they say they don't like when TV/sports/video games/etc 'get political', they really mean 'politics they disagree with'. Look at their reactions whenever an athlete or celebrity says something left leaning, it's always "shut up and dribble" or "who cares what some out of touch celebrity thinks?", but whenever one says something right leaning, conservatives act like they're paragons of wisdom who have seen the one great truth of the world.
@@ahoythere4damn right, you’ll never hear a conservative say “Hmmm, that joke was a bit too political. I agree with what was said, but it shouldn’t be in the show/movie”. There’s a kind of bullshitting happening, and they’ll do wild mental gymnastics to prove their point.
@@brandonsclips7741Its similar to Ron Swanson from the early Parks & Recs episodes. His character was a stereotypical libertarian and a lot of the humour comes from him clashing with progressive society. However, Ron didn't come off as hateful or unlikable, because he was never JUST the stereotype. He had other characteristics and moments that showed a more rounded, humanized character. That builds empathy in the viewer so that even when he is acting in a way they might not agree with politically, they are still emotionally invested and more likely to feel sympathy towards the characte's plight.
Conservatives basically have two "Jokes".
"PC Culture" jokes about "Can't say X" and "X identifies as Y"
And they can't understand why nobody agrees with them
“Nobody agree with them”
…A lot of people agree with them. Just because you purposely avoid leaving your bubble doesn’t magically mean “nobody agrees with them.” Nobody you hang out with agrees with them.
This is such a ridiculous concept. NOBODY agrees with conservatives yet *somehow* they’re also a large enough demographic to get in the way of “progress.”
You could boil those down to ONE joke really: the "unpopular opinion" trope.

"Woke" is used because they finally realized "Communist/socialist" sounds completely tinfoil-hat crazy, and "Communist/socialist" was used when "n****r-lover" came to be deemed, shall we say, "impolite".

The irony of conservatives labelling soccer a girly sport is that in the rest of the world americam football is viewed as the "girly" version of rugby
Right!🤣🤣🤣
Not really, man. There's no antagonism between rugby and football. Both are fun, and brutal.
The irony of Europreans labeling football as a girly version of rugby hen Americans view soccer as a girly sport lmao.
You see, the difference is that European opinions don't matter, get on our level scrub.
exactly
Heck, why don't we Americans call our Football, "American Rugby / Amerugby / A.R.""? It has way more in common with Rugby than the sport where folks kick a ball around.
Soccer = "Football" (because it's actually about playing ball with one's feet).
Football = "Amerugby" (American Rugby, a weird form of rugby that's heavy on wearing padding, throwing and tackling).
In the meantime, my USA self could use "Gridiron" and "Footie", respectively to describe the NFL-type sport and the FIFA-type sport.

Conservative comedy is bad because it has to dance around its own point. It wants to be cruel, but it knows the rule of comedy is to punch up, so it’s incapable of being direct and has to pretend it has a moral point to make
It comes to its conclusion first (this group of people are bad/annoying/should suffer), and then works backwards, looking for a way to make that point sound reasonable. So we get standups that are 10% jokes and 90% complaining that you can’t tell jokes, transphobic movies that pretend they’re about women’s rights and villains that don’t lose the moral high ground and instead act really stupid and annoying
It all makes for confused, insincere, boring comedy

Googling Francisco Goya shows he was a liberal thinker and supporter of the enlightenment, not a right-winger. His artworks were also not lifeless like the Austrian painter's

@@ReginaldCosmic He makes great beans, though.

A much better pick would have been Salvador Dali, an arch-conservative Catholic and fan of the fascist dictator Franco.
He was a war veteran, a Nationalist and wealthy which means by pre world war standards he was more right wing than any conservative alive today.

Whenever The Daily Wire or Ben Shapiro comes up with a work of fiction, they repeat one mistake.
They write all of their characters as mouthpieces for whatever goes on in their brain.
I'm pretty left leaning myself, but whenever I write fictional characters, even if they're supposed to live in a fantasy world, then I don't shy away from letting them have their own values, their own identity, separate from my own. More often then not I will go with whatever mindset fits the character most naturally, given their personality and background.
I don't like to write them as one dimensional "heroes" or "villains" in regards to how their worldview differs from mine. They're supposed to be just people.... regular, flawed people.... who all have their part to play in the plot and tend to play it in accordance to their own personality.
Folks like Ben Shapiro, Adam Carolla and their peers really enjoy doing the opposite: writing is like a therapy session for them in which they make clones of themselves into "the good guys" and (caricatures of) their opposition into "the bad guys" or "the dumb guys".
The result is boring characters, who are basically just all alike in how they act and view the world. There's no fun in watching them interact with each other, play off of one another. Also, they don't feel "real", which makes it hard to empathize with them or like them. You can keep telling me that I have to like the protagonist, but if the protagonist comes off as an NPC rather then an actual person, I won't care.
When you're focused more on making propaganda then on making a good show, then you'll end up with a pretty terrible show. Luckily.... Once they learn how to be more subtle, they'll become more dangerous and effective.
The difference between this and King of the Hill (which it CLEARLY wishes it was) is that Hank Hill is written like an actual person. He’s a genuinely good guy who wants to learn and change, and his struggles come from actively trying to adapt into a more progressive world view; he’s a character that conservatives can see themselves in but everyone wants to root for. Contrast with Mr. Birchum, where every single character is written to be an outwardly political caricature. It’s not written as an actual story, but a mouthpiece for the creator’s views that only appeals to the people who already ARE radicalized.
The people who say that "today's comedy is just not funny anymore because everything get's censored", when they find a platform that doesn't censor them and they now actually have to be funny:
Patrick Warburton being in this hurts my soul.
Danny Trejo hurts me more
@@maxkrystal7403 I really, REALLY hope that they just had some bills they desperately needed to pay.
@@TheEmeraldWeirdoOr funds for a project that they’re actually passionate about. Like how Natalie Portman only did “Your Highness” because it was uncertain whether “Black Swan” would get green lit and wanted to get funds for it just in case.

“A JESUS FISH”
I’m not surprised but yeah his involvement sucks
Yeah- knowing Patrick Warburton and Danny Trejo are in this was genuinely the most upsetting part of this. I really hope they're just in it for the money- that, I could half-understand.
It’s also interesting how conservative comedy paints these straw man villains of regular “lib” characters- whereas even in left wing media, cartoons etc, oftentimes the right wing characters will be humanized and shown as misled and broken or whatever, eventually. Because that reflects what we see irl (see the trope of “your racist uncle at thanksgiving”, for example). I mean in left of center media the conservative non-politician characters are usually just shown as like regular people amongst the other characters, such as coworkers etc. The only time there’s a right wing evil villain is typically when they’re depicting an actual powerful person & capitalist, not an average Joe who happens to be right wing/brainwashed. Idk this is all over the place but
They aren't humanized your definition is biased bunk

I sincerely dont think a teacher like Mr. Birchum would have done himself any favors by demanding his entire class go to his own home to build him a brand new deck for free at six AM on a Saturday.

Conservative comedy does work. It was called King of The Hill. I don't know what makes it the only one that works, but I'm glad it does.
See, the thing about King of the Hill is that the ideology of the show really isn’t inherently conservative. While it certainly has a lot of the aesthetics of the conservative movement (meat eating, beer drinking in Texas, a general resistance to change etc.) the show itself is rarely political. The showrunner Mike Judge wasn’t setting out to create a conservative sitcom to trigger the snowflakes like Birchum, he was just setting out to make quality episodes and I think the results speak for themselves.
@@myfriendscallmepat I'd say King of the Hill was more Center than it was hard conservative or Alt-Right.
IMO, if DW would get their heads out their butts and make something more politically to the Center and subtle while making fun of the worst aspects of the Hard Left and Hard Right, they'd actually have some success I think.
That's not entirely true. Just about the only time Hank ever mentions politics is when he mentions George H Bush. He even shakes Bush's hand and it was a weak handshake and thought twice about voting for him. He's certainly traditional but not EVER overtly political.
King of the Hill is comedy about a conservative, but I wouldn't personally call it "conservative comedy."
Hank is a conservative middle-aged man, but whenever he expresses his worldview, it's the character talking, not the writer. When Mr. Birchum expresses his worldview, he's clearly a mouthpiece for the writers' own views.
@@DrMechanoAgreed. I haven’t watched King of the Hill in years, but I’ve watched a lot of commentary videos about it and from what I can tell it seems pretty progressive for its time.
To me, Hank Hill is similar to Archie Bunker. He’s a working class conservative stereotype and not meant to be a role model (though I would consider Hank to be a much better role model than Archie). He’s an antihero rather than a protagonist.
The Daily Wire is to comedy what toxic waste is to drinking water!!😮😅😊😢
Mr. Burchum is the type of show you'd see being parodied in GTA on one of the in-game TV channels
De Goya had republican (in the meaning of the word not the party) ambitions and opposed the Spanish monarchy, he was literally a left wing progressive. He would pe have agreed with some contemporary conservative stances, but that's what a couple centuries does. His classist disdain of common folks that serves as "proof" of him being right wing, is just him being an elitist ass hole - nothing more.

King of the Hill worked because Hank had his opinions, but also was balanced with some of his opinions made him look foolish. His interactions with friends, family and Bobby allows a perfect back forth for balance. Hank wants Bobby to less liberal and his Cotton is too right wing and Hank struggles for his approval and often accepts Bobby's dreams, although grungingly. I believe the protagonist in this show is written as a guy who is never really wrong and the antagonist is written in an extreme unrealistic way. The show could not achieve the balance that King of the Hill had because the writers were conservatives who didn't understand that liberals like them have different levels and depth in their beliefs.
This is something conservatives never get with comedy. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a great example. We aren't supposed to be laughing with or sympathizing with the sociopathic terrible characters in It's Always Sunny, but laughing at how absurd their horribleness is. Conservatives will call a gay person the F word and be like hahaha, it was a joke.
American Dad did a better job.
I agree
True
True, but American Dad was doing the opposite of this show- same super-conservative style main character, but it actually paints him as the fool, and the episodes are about him actually learning lessons and realising how his worldview is holding him back. Like, as insensitive and nuts as he still is as a character, he unlearned his homophobia like a champ over the course of a bunch of episodes, even to the point of trying to explain why homophobia doesn't make sense to a really homophobic character, and trying to take him step-by-step through the same realisations he made himself to unlearn it. It didn't work, but it clearly showed how far he's come with it himself. I genuinely love American Dad at this point. It's dumb, surreal and still has plenty of shock value stuff, but it knows it, and leans into the silliness while still being pretty damn smart at times, not to mention fully shedding the mean-spiritedness of its early seasons. It's just a good, silly time now.
@Stathio This show is different they aren't meaning to mock themselves it just comes naturally.
I’m actually sad Danny Trejo chose to be in this slop though I really shouldn’t be surprised since he does pretty much anything for a paycheck.

Every form of conservative comedy is essentially “All in the Family but Archie is right”.
At least Archie was actually hilarious and charming 😂🤣 Mr. Birchum is just trying to be Archie but fails at it miserably
conservatives focus so much on comedy being offensive, that they don't realize the worst thing a joke can be is boring. I'm not rolling my eyes bc you upset my PC sensibilities, it's because you're reusing the same jokes you heard in the locker rooms in the 90s
If the conservatives want influence, they need to dig deep through history and recover the old traditions and wisdom that were good, and then create a beautiful alternative to focus on, instead of grifting about what they're opposed to.
No body actually want to be told “u should be a hoe” and “go to church”. You included would hate to be told those regularly
Here's a good example of that conservatism: Confucianism
Even by the Ming Dynasty, which reigned during the middle ages, Confucianism taught the same family practices as it did thousands of years ago, and it worked splendidly
The show that is similar to Mr Birchum is King of the Hill, and that portrays a conservative character in a much better way.
Hank Hill learns more about life and the changing world, and he comes to understand it, it gives a proper way of showing how someone who's conservative can learn and adapt to a growing progressive world.
He's like a redneck Tevye. "Tradition, I tell you hwat."

And yet, they're clearly friends to the point of him being genuinely considered part of the family. None of them are entirely written as the "good guy" or "bad guy", they're just characters with different dynamics. There's even a full episode acknowledging how he basically gets away with everything because of how likeable he is, so we're obviously not supposed to hate him, even when he know he can be a straight-up monster sometimes. That's just the show's dynamic- it's not trying to say 'this character bad' or 'this character good' like this lazy conservative show is doing.

King of the hill is the most conservative comedy that worked because they knew when to laugh at themselves and didn’t punch down.
This show just proves my theory that woke doesnt mean anything, its just a term conservatives use to describe something they dont like
It used to mean something, coined by black people to mean being aware of social injustices, but nowadays I guess minorities existing and people fighting for human rights is considered "woke"
It's the latest in a long line of words conservatives appropriated because they can't create anything themselves. "Woke" is basically just the replacement for "SJW" (which itself replaced "politically correct," and so on, all the way back to just calling it black-loving with the hard "r").
