PHILADELPHIA, PA — Americans across the country breathed a sigh of relief this morning following breaking news that Vice President Kamala Harris had survived an attempted interview.
I think the main problem is that Babylon Bee isn't funny...
It's really easy to make fun of anyone on the left (we do it all the time to ourselves) yet somehow 90% of the Babylon Bee is nothing more than a failed stand up comedian in a small town hoping that saying something offensive will make his parents love him.
For a seriously in-depth dive, Some More News has an episode called Why Is Conservative Comedy So... Not Very Good? The video even has a whole section about The Babylon Bee. The TL;DW is that real comedy is about the comedy, while conservative "comedy" is all about attacking out-groups. (There's another section with examples of conservative comedians who don't do this, and are funny.)
Like in this example, I read the headline, wrinkled my brow, and thought, "Huh?" Then a few seconds later, I remembered that there was some rumbling in the news a while back about how Harris hadn't done a media interview at the time, and it must be referring to that? That makes sense as an attack, and I guess that's "funny" to an audience that just wants to see attacks on the out-group, but it's not humorous. (I mean, she's done a couple of interviews now, so it comes across as try-hard.)
Conservatives attempt to display human-like humor, but jokes are more than just insults or a formula. A little humanity is required, which is why conservatives are so profoundly un-funny.
Ah yes they could have picked almost any other politician(because they all melt down from interviews) but they picked the one that has better cognitive than a monkey and id even say shes pretty smart.
