A year or so ago, Mrs Brady and I went to see comedian Ross Noble’s first show in our little town in 11 years. Noble was at his surreal, stream-of-consciousness best and had the grand old Princess Theatre roaring with laughter. The only pause in the show came when Noble asked for a suggested topic from the audience, and some twit eager for a few back-pats yelled, “Do Trump”. Apart from a few scattered titters, the theatre went ominously quiet, while Noble grimaced and shot back, “Don’t do politics, sorry”. Then, he went off on another tangent and everyone started enjoying themselves again.
It’s beyond obvious by now that audiences are sick of “woke” political “comedy”. While critics swooned over Hannah Gadsby, audiences yawned and switched off. Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr might touch on political subjects, but they do so with blistering political incorrectness. Critics are horrified, while audiences laugh.
Late night American tv “comedians” are the worst. They don’t tell jokes, they simply repeat bog-standard leftist talking-points and bask in the approval of their lefty celebrity chums.
But even they are starting to wake up to the fact that audiences are sick of it.
Comedian Seth Meyers inadvertently admitted that his relentless ‘Orange Man Bad’ jokes about President Trump are getting stale and boring.
For his new Netflix special, Meyers will offer viewers a feature that allows them to skip quips about Trump.
“It dawned on me that because it was on Netflix, there would be this opportunity to put in technology that would allow people to skip it,” he told CNN Business. “It was away to build in the response to anyone who would say, ‘Oh, let me guess there’s going to be jokes about the president.’”
You know, you could just admit that your shtick is stale and predictable.
The mere fact that [the skip button] exists is an admission on Meyers’ part that his ‘Orange Man Bad’ routine is getting tedious.
For his special, Meyers said there wouldn’t be much content about Trump or politics, which makes a change from his late night show which is almost exclusively filled with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The quality of comedy has drastically plunged in recent years thanks to political correctness and liberals playing it safe because they are so petrified of offending people.

Which is not a winning strategy. As we’ve reported several times at The BFD, even the left are waking up that you can never be woke enough for the offenderati.
