ron white is a sexist ass. but i do like this joke of his...
he talks about a guy who ignores a hurricane warning and ties himself to a tree because he thinks he’s in good enough physical condition to withstand hurricane winds.
white observes, “it isn’t that the wind is blowing. it’s what the wind is blowing. if you get hit with a volvo, it doesn’t matter how many situps you did that morning.”
@singlemaltgirl He is the only conservative comedian I know of who genuinely seems to know what comedy is. Even when I hate his work (which is often), I can see that he told a joke. That's surprisingly rare on the right!
@singlemaltgirl Yeah, I'm being mean. Foxworthy was pretty good early on. But more recent stuff I've seen has been pretty weak. Engvall is a lot like White. But not as good. But they do all understand what a joke is... Of course, they are all from a different time. But maybe I'm just seeing the very best of the new conservative comedians!
@FranklyCurious 🤔 i don't watch much. there's not a lot of comedians i think who do smart comedy.
i tend to focus on some of the female comedians who are actually funny & don't have to tear down others to do it. maria bamford, erica sigurdson, fatima dhowre...
@FranklyCurious i thought foxworthy & engvall can be funny, too. mind you, i haven't seen then in years & i find since trump, many comedians who could be funny went over the deep end.
