https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/rationally-speaking/200905/conservatives-lack-sense-humor-study-finds
>A recent study published by Heather L. LaMarre, Kristen D. Landreville and Michael A. Beam of Ohio State University in the International Journal of Press/Politics examined how audiences of different political persuasions react to jokes made by Stephen Colbert. The results are quite astounding.
The authors used a respectable sample of 332 individuals, and found that personal political ideology is a good predictor of Colbert’s own political ideology. Here is the kicker: “conservatives were more likely to report that Colbert only pretends to be joking and genuinely meant what he said while liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements. Conservatism also significantly predicted perceptions that Colbert disliked liberalism.” See? Conservative really do lack a sense of humor!
Well that explains a lot.

Oh wow! Liberals found Colbert funnier than conservatives. What an insightful study that in no way is a giant fucking waste of time and money.

>>74624183
Conservatives finding Colbert less funny than Liberals do =/= Conservatives not having a sense of humor
Liberal humor doesn't give conservatives a chance to laugh. They laugh at you, not with you.
>>74624183
And liberals clearly lack souls.
>>74624183
maybe politics should stop being a joke to liberals then.
more 'educated' AND easier to laugh at?
man, those liberals are just the tops
>>74624967
LOL, DRUMPF!!! TOP HUMOR RIGHT THERE!!!!
Make Donald Drumpf again!
>>74624183
I don't know man liberals do have a good sense of irony. Like how they have that one joke where they see groups of people with different views they say "People are sheep" in that imperceptively sarcastically superior tone. I mean using a group catchphrase to criticize people for conformity is comedic genius. How to you think they keep this stuff going? Do they have to go to workshops etc.?
bullshit study, by what parameters are they using to quality "humour".
The world is falling apart into Leftist bullshit, this is no laughing matter.

I'm still amazed that anyone finds someone like Samantha Bee or John Oliver funny.

Biggest comedians in the world refuse to perform at universities because the liberal students are triggered by literally everything and have zero sense of humor.
Funny how a field dominated by leftist idiots with useless degrees somehow manages to completely ignore the current liberal climate in academia.
There is no one on this planet with a worse sense of humor than a millennial liberal.
Jerry fucking Sienfeld was too edgy for them. Yes. That Seinfeld. The what's the deal with airlines guy. Was too fucking edgy for them.
Into the trash it goes. The desperation of the left and their projecting never cease to amaze me.

This, every word of it. I remember reading somewhere a while back that Jerry Seinfeld says he doesn't perform anymore because he can't, due to political correctness. He apparently says that PC killed comedy, as far as he's concerned.
I agree. Liberals have zero fucking sense of humour.
Oh yeah, and this whole board proves every day that conservatives are funny as fuck when they want to be. I regularly crack up at the shit posted here. It's great.

>>74626192
You know you've got no sense of humor when Seinfeld is 2edgy4u.
Wasn't it the case that some conservatives actually thought Colbert was genuine? Maybe that's one form of stupid. The other is that the liberals slapping their flips together to the shtick probably thought it was an accurate portrayal of conservatives.
>>74624183
Just because we can't tell our jokes because we're afraid of being jailed for a comedic hate crime doesn't mean we don't have a sense of humor.
>>74624183
People don't joke about things that they don't at least endorse in some way or acknowledge the logic in.
This is why people like Colbert are roaches.
>>74624183
The fact these morons earn their bread doing such "research" triggers me beyond description
It's not funny if it's based on half-assed research and sometimes outright lies, and the asshole at the desk's shitty opinion. Looking at you, 2016 fuckteeth limey.
The Onion's parodies are closer to the truth than the average liberal "news" "show"
So here's my theory on why most comedians happen to be liberal:
Both comedy and liberalism share something in common: validating the absurd.
Comedians have a knack for recognizing absurdities. Jokes are funny because they surprise you - they rely on suspensions of reality and safe thinking and transcend into the absurd. This break with "normative" thinking shocks our minds, and the response is laughter. Does not compute/haha wtf/etc.
Liberalism isn't about simply recognizing absurdities, it's all about accepting that there's nothing wrong with absurdities. There's nothing wrong with any culture, because life is absurd and morality is relative. There's nothing wrong with degeneracy, taking drugs, making paintings out of shit, pride parades, killing babies, or open borders. Those things may seem absurd, but life is absurd so we should accept it. The only "evil" people to a liberal are those who say "No, we need laws and rules and limits."
Many comedians naturally drift toward liberalism because they notice absurdities so readily that they NEED liberalism/tolerance/progressivism to tell them that the absurd is acceptable and even healthy. If they stop to think "What the fuck is this?", they'll lose their minds.
Comedy is a central coping mechanism for liberalism and cognitive dissonance.
>>74628217
Our government spends billions on shit like this every year.
>>74624183
when you send every conservative to the gulag on charges of first degree thoughtcrime you are left with only the best and most inclusive liberal humor. Be careful not to laugh though, don't want to trigger those who are humor fluid.

>>74624183
>people whose beliefs are closer to what Colbert imitates are more likely to think he believes what he says
What a surprise. Meanwhile, comedians aren't allowed on college campuses because liberals get triggered.

There is no alt right. You can stop the sham now. You're just the right which has found some miraculous way to have even less morals, which I'm not sure how the fuck you accomplished, but congratulations on that.
>>74624920
Must suck going through life being so stupid. Shame,
hmph!
>>74624183
I do have to also say though that Colbert is emphatically NOT funny at all. Saying mundane things while perking an eyebrow and giving an overly serious glance is not humor. It's retarded.
Liberals don't understand Sam Hyde.
So how can they be more humerous?
>>74626653
Taxation isn't theft.
The rich are importing the third worlders.
The libertarian principles you want have already been tried - in the 1800s and they were shit.
The prosperity of the 1950s was because the rich were reined in.

>>74632315
>You're just the right which has found some miraculous way to have even less morals

The problem is that the left finds having morals to be immoral, because their only morality is total equality of all humans regardless of morals

This. Satire is a very effective form of propaganda.
>>74631655

Doesn't work that way.
>>74624183
I'm going to do a study where liberals don't find nigger jokes funny and say it means they don't have a sense of humor.
>>74624183
But the conservatives are right. He is only pretending. In fact, his show is nothing but political indoctrination.
Also, what a horrible study. Not actually worth the time.
>>74624183
LE DRUMPF XD
>>74624183
>liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements.
Satire is using a specific kind of humour to make a serious statement. It's not pure comedy. The purpose is not to be funny. When Jonathan Swift wrote A Modest Proposal the purpose of it wasn't to get cheap laughs.
>Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government or society itself, into improvement.
>>74631945
the lowest states probably have a much higher per capita of employment. Spending 12 years at a university is worthless if you don't have a career or a girlfriend or friends or money or a future.
at least you have a high IQ because you memorized and regurgitated the correct information that was properly validated by a tenured marxist.

I didn't see the word propaganda in your statement.
>>74624183

No, republicans aren't funny because they're angry, evil minions of Satan and they hate things like fun, humor and enjoyment. This is coming from someone as puritanical as it's nearly possible to get.
>>74632662
>even more*
I didn't fucking stutter. You're all the cancer of the mainstream right except you're open about being sluts and drug addicts, whereas the republicans at least try to pretend they're not doing this shit.
>The problem is that the left finds having morals to be immoral
No, the problem is YOU DON'T FUCKING HAVE ANY MORALS. Being an evil piece of shit who makes human sacrifices to Mammon is NOT being a "good person". Conservacucks are delusional as fuck.
>because their only morality is total equality of all humans regardless of morals
And the only moral that conservashits have is "Everyone who isn't me can go to hell".
