I’ve noticed that the line previously “edgy” comedians who have now miraculously

become “woke” are going with is that they wouldn’t make the same jokes they’d have made 15 years ago, blaming youthful ignorance for their past misdemeanours.

The problem is, you can usually go back significantly closer than 15 years to find them making jokes that wouldn’t get past the progressive mafia today. For example, in the case of that cretinous ***** Sarah Silverman, I recently saw a video of her from about 5 years ago making jokes about suicide So we’re meant to believe that she’s changed her entire philosophy on what we should be allowed to make jokes about in five years?

I did like this bit from her Guardian interview:

I mention a line she used in her Jesus is Magic tour in 2005: “I was raped by a doctor. Which is, you know, so bittersweet for a Jewish girl.” She looks panicked when I mention it, and replies quickly: “Comedy is not evergreen! There are jokes I made 15 years ago that I would absolutely not make today, because I am less ignorant than I was. I know more now than I did. I change with new information.”

The thing is, I say – and I suppose this is where comedy gets very complicated – I actually brought that line up because it’s one of the funniest things I have ever heard.

“Oh!” she says, visibly relieved. “Thank you.”

As I said: *****.

I saw the other day that a bunch of them were saying it was their duty to keep making jokes about Brexit and Trump - even if they weren't particularly funny. This struck me as a very good philosophy to ensure the current 'comedy boom' is killed stone fücking dead, as audiences are increasingly alienated by unfunny, politically-motivated stuff that simply doesn't resonate with them.
