When my daughter was little, she’s always try to get out of trouble for things she said or did by claiming, “it was a joke!”. My response was always, “a joke is supposed to be funny.” And perhaps they were, to her! More accurate would have been to say “comedy is subjective.” We know that. I can’t say I’ve honestly given right wing comedians a chance to make me laugh. I just know that the few times I’ve tried, laughter was the last reaction elicited from me… Today, I’ll speak with Nick Marx, one of the co-authors of a new book titled “That’s Not Funny: How the Right Makes Comedy Work for Them”.
