also I didn't appreciate how the cops painted Ted Bundy as a criminal mastermind he wasn't a criminal mastermind he was white and they weren't looking for him God has abandoned us feminists comedians - words that should never be in the same sentence yet here we are have you ever wondered what would happen if feminists took a shot at stand-up comedy perhaps it would be funny enjoyable and even managed to make some of us laugh or it would be full of weak jokes with the main purpose being to spread a political message rather than make anyone so much as even chuckle how do you honestly think a feminist stand-up comedy bit would go down newsflash it goes down like a metal spoon in the garbage disposal loud annoying and all of us begging to make it stop what's up everybody Hunter Avallone here and welcome to a brand new video today we will be analyzing what happens when feminists try and do stand-up comedy and believe me it's absolutely terrible now I know that since I'm discussing the subject of comedy I'm sure to get a few interesting comments so let me go ahead and address those before you comment and make yourself look like an idiot I know that comedy is subjective that's why this video is my opinion that feminist stand-up acts are the devil I know that the jokes I make on my channel are cringy and corny but I don't label myself a comedian I'm a social political commentator who enjoys cringy edgy jokes alright so that's that let's get to the video there are a lot of ways to structure and deliver a funny joke a good joke relies on pace delivery and most importantly subverting expectations this is when the audience thinks the joke is going one way and then last minute it changes suddenly Masterclass says humor takes what we know to be true and flips it on its head I'm going to show you an example of a good joke garnering laughs while using the hurting expectations method this clip is actually from a feminist stand-up comedian whose entire act was literally horrible except for this one joke which managed to make me laugh because she followed the proper formula take a look the scripted movie on Netflix starring Zac Efron written and directed by men where they made the craziest person in that movie Carol Ann Boone the woman who dated Ted Bundy while he was in prison they made Carol look so much crazier than a man who murdered 30 people and I was watching that thinking Carol Ann is not crazy she's just a woman dating in her 30s all right see it was it was funny which is kind of sad because it shows that some of these feminist acts actually have potential to be funny but they're way too wrapped up in politics to remain consistently funny I really hope you all enjoyed the decent joke I just showed you because folks it's all downhill from here feminist comedy constantly takes the preachy approach where instead of going for Laughs they're going for applause a big difference in the world of comedy another common approach feminist comedians take is self-deprecating humor now let me be clear this in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing in fact self-deprecating humor is one of these standard comedic approaches self-deprecating jokes can be funny for example if I said that I look like a skinny fat lesbian version of Edward from Twilight only my eyebrows look like caterpillars dyed on my face I don't know personally I think that's kind of funny but feminists don't take that approach instead they use this self-deprecating style to instead invoke and further the feminist victim narrative when it comes to sexual harassment everyday women are going through an obstacle course I feel bad for the amount of true crime that I consume but to be fair women we don't watch true crime technically we study it to make sure to make sure we don't end up on it those a man who came up to me after a show and said I love when you're on stage how you talk about the fact that you're unattractive like that's not what I do that's like about being fat it's not the same thing and true crime is kind of feminist it's the only time the entertainment industry will take a chance on an unknown female lead see what I mean this is all because feminists cannot separate politics from humor seriously it's like watching a feminist trying run they just can't do it they always use humor to try and make some kind of feminist statement which is fine I guess but it's really not very funny Ted Bundy were alive today he'd be on his third Netflix special it would be his apology tour also I didn't appreciate how the cops painted Ted Bundy as a criminal mastermind he wasn't a criminal mastermind he was white and they weren't looking for him did it guys put police weren't looking for Ted Bundy because they're racist huh so you know even the audience kind of laughed for a second and then just resorted to clapping it's because when you expect to laugh and instead get preached at what else are you supposed to do other than just yay okay even more so when feminists comedians aren't cracking super cringy liberal jokes they just aren't funny of Ted Bundy in the courtroom with all the police officers and Ted was just killing it that's that's comedian slang for slaughtering he murdered in that courtroom he basically slayed he had all the cops just doubled over in stitches and his audience was giving him way more love and you guys are giving me for this bit get it guys because Ted Bundy was a murderer ha ha ha honestly the funniest part was when she practically begged the audience to clap for her yeah this didn't go well at all so quick back to another cringy joke that's only funny if you're super far-left Ted Bundy also not an evil genius here's how I know Ted Bundy wasn't that smart he was a Republican politics in Utah as he started murdering women and if he were really ahead of the curve he would have just stayed the course of politics risen to the top and then killed so many more women with his policies well talk about a one-trick pony this is the final joke in her segment and it fails in nearly every conceivable way never mind the fact that it's so overtly political to the point of being flat-out boring she throws more of the basic joke telling formula right out the window pacing it was bad this part is full of awkward pauses eventually leading to the delivery the delivery isn't clever it's not funny it doesn't work to subvert expectations and it's really only funny if you share the same political views as this feminist comedian even worse she just keeps going which just further dilutes the joke and forces everyone to start searching for the punchline picture a version of the movie sliding doors but Ted Bundy actually made the train and then he's Ted Cruz congratulations you've earned yourself a slow clap because if I don't clap at all you call me sexist I know this act was absolutely horrendous but guys at the very least it had it's salvageable moments now I'm gonna show you what happens when your bit has absolutely zero salvageable moments from comedian Michelle wolf the woman whose voice sounds like a chipmunk on crack and whose only funny joke is the fact that she actually labels herself a comedian you thought the first comedian was bad dies Michelle wolf is everything wrong with feminist comedians not funny overtly political themes far more focused on preaching feminism and worst of all the cliche man bashing and vagina jokes yeah Michelle wolf is the complete package here's a clip of her stand-up act discussing Harvey Weinstein where she resorts to man bashing and making jokes that are so unfunny only Hollywood hacks would ever find them amusing all these women coming out to say that they've also been sexually harassed and men are like I can't believe that and I want I know you can't ah yes we open with some fun man bashing about how men are just dumb animals oblivious to women's issues I guess this is supposed to be a joke maybe I just wonder if Michelle wolf knows that not all men are like her great uncle I mean look at me I'm young but I'm also oblivious to women's issues crap that almost worked okay so it took approximately immediately to get to a cringy vagina joke Michelle wolf is so bad it's obvious she isn't following any kind of structure and is way more focused on pushing a political theme in this case I guess the punch line of the joke is men are dumb and vagina [Music] everyday women are going through an obstacle course it's like a Tough Mudder but instead of mud its dick so that wasn't funny at all I mean I get it I get that that was supposed to be the punchline but it wasn't funny it was weak and predictable I'm definitely right about this because once again the audience only laughed for like a millisecond before just clapping and cheering that's certainly a testament to how unfunny feminist comedians are but for Michelle wolf this is all she's really going for she's just a liberal political commentator hiding behind the faux comedian label my solution every time a guy gets caught sexually harassing someone you don't just fire him you have to replace them with a woman well that's a very stupid proposition but I'm going to assume that was just a joke rather than a legitimate call to action it sort of gotten to the point where like how do I even respond to this atrocity without just repeating myself over and over again like there was no real setup no pacing no subversion of expectations I mean this is so much more of a political monologue rather than a stand-up comedy act once again the audience is only really applauding and not laughing I mean where's the joke here that women can be CEOs [Applause] aha there it is I found the joke check out my laughing face I could critique this all day but I'm almost as tired as Michelle wolf at this point I guess the joke is that it rhymes I don't know look maybe maybe just maybe I'm being too harsh maybe I am blinded by my bias against feminists comedians no that's not it because this is hosted by Comedy Central so I expect jokes to be a little better than this dad joke Tia rhyming crap at the end of the day there are countless flaws with feminist comedians but I think one of the largest and most obvious is that feminists just can't separate their own political viewpoints from the humor like everything else feminism tries to create it becomes a watered down version with an over-the-top feminist theme salty and clever commentary go out the window I guess making a funny feminist joke is just really difficult that is unless you're making a joke at the expense of feminists and don't get me wrong there are countless left-leaning comedians who are hilarious but this new feminist brand of comedy TM is so painfully cringe worthy and look I understand that there are serious and real issues that should be addressed like sexual harassment in the workplace but again trying to mix a strong political message with a bunch of subpar jokes all under the guise of stand-up comedy really only hurts your core message at the end of the day well feminist comedians thanks for the laughs but remember we aren't laughing with you we are all laughing at you [Music]
