re: #28 Vicious Babushka

Trump sucks at comedy because all his “jokes” are puerile insults that true insult comics would snicker at.

Comedy seems to be swinging in that direction, between Shane Gillis and that other kid. I forget his name, but he got his start on Tik Tok, became huge, and got a Netflix special. Opens the special with a “joke” about giving a woman a black eye.

It’s gonna be rough ride in comedy for a while.

As for insult comics: not a fan of the genre. I know I’m supposed to worship Don Rickles as some kind of comedy supergenius, but his act always struck me as saying the most vile thing possible and then tacking on an insincere “Hey, I’m just kidding here!”

Like every other conservative comic working today.
