Comedian Adam Carolla says no one is safe from the “woke mob.” Not even comedians.
“Professors and cops and politicians — they caved,” Carolla told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. “Now, the fact that comedians have caved meant they got to everyone. If comedians are scared, then everyone is scared because they were really our last hope. They are the last sort of truth tellers in society.”
Carolla said he discovered this by putting his ear to the ground. He says he “heard something ominous coming my way. And it was this woke bull crap. And I knew it.”
Previously, comedians were safe from the angry mobs of PC police on social media. Jokes are, after all, often intended to shock the audience.
“My feeling is that if, as a comedian, I can’t speak my mind or I’m scared what people will think I’m going to say or I start governing or editing myself, then I shouldn’t be a comedian anymore,” Carolla said. “I should go back to swinging a hammer.”
Nowadays, Carlson said, comedians appear too wimpy to speak their minds.
“What’s definitely not funny is watching people slavishly suck up to politicians,” Carlson said. “That’s not comedy, but embarrassing.”
Of course, not all comedians have been scared jokeless. Even New York governor and alleged creep Andrew Cuomo was recent fodder for Chelsea Handler, as exemplified by a clip Carlson played during the Carolla interview.
As Fox relayed, Handler “discussed the ‘strong and deep sexual feelings I have developed for Andrew Cuomo.’ Handler then described the New York Democratic governor as a ‘big Italian gorilla’ before launching into an expletive-laden description of the pair potentially getting together.”
Rejoice, normal people, because even the woke mob would approve of jokes like that.
Adam Carolla is the man. Regardless if he leans right politically, he is a dude you could drink a beer and shoot the shit with. Too bad his old co-host fell off into the Hollywood abyss.
Most mainstream ‘comedy’ anymore is just trashing the not Democrats.
George Carlin had quite a few bits that were almost prophetic about the insanity we are in now.
On Twitter, Cable News Watch recommended that Fox News give Carolla Greg Gutfeld’s Saturday night spot. I wholeheartedly agree.
Great idea, Ira…for sure!
They would lose their minds with Don Rickles
I listen to his Podcast every day. He had me rolling today when they started talking about CBS statement about Sharon Osbourne leaving The View. Good shit, I recommend.
Adam Carolla is one of the few celebs who seems to have his head on straight.
Adam Carolla is a guy who made it big time who managed to still live in the real world.
He never lost his sanity despite being surrounded by lunatics in California.
Chelsea Handler is making the kool aid for the woke mob. Cuomo is the left’s (aka.the woke mob) sacrificial lamb. She’s not authentic in her comedy. Not a good comparison.
The Leftists are doing their best to kill comedy, but smart comedians who are willing to push back may be the way to save us from all of this.
