What makes good political humor?
Conservative Blog post – supplemental for November4.
We get these questions from time to time…. This one came in about what makes good political humor.
————————————-
Woody Allen’s once said that as a humorist “You’re either funny or you’re not” Is this true?
Response:
Not much is funnier than Woody Allen – particularly when he opines about political or serious social issues. His reputation as a comedian overrides anything he utters, so even when he tries to be serious, he winds up generating laughs.
This especially occurs when ‘ol Woody tries to comment about Conservative beliefs about family and social values. Given his own history of rather intimate relationships with step children, how can he be taken seriously? In truth, Allen isn’t taken very seriously…
This doesn’t really answer the question, but Woody Allen’s views are seriously funny and worthy of Saturday Night Live.
