Andrew & Theo are following up on the quest to find a funny conservative comedian (it isn't going well). Is there an example of "offensive" jokes that is still well-structured comedy? We also weigh in on the Apu issue in The Simpsons and check in on local wasp news.

It's not animals taking over, but another force of nature entirely <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/04/17/tumbleweeds-are-taking-over-this-town-engulfing-homes/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://nypost.com/2018/04/17/tumbleweeds-are-taking-over-this-town-engulfing-homes/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter</a>

im phoneposting so i cant easily look up where i first heard this, but i interpret the conservative comedian issue as: the general form of jokes relies on an existing or contructed norm being subverted. so for jokes that are on the progressive/conservative spectrum, conservative comedians have a much harder job to make a joke that subverts expectations ("i think things are good now/should go back to how things were") without overstepping the bounds and appearing homophobic/racist/sexist. of course doing that deliberately for shock value is a valid form of comedy but as you mention, the ones getting away with this often arent doing it for political reasons
