Over the past few years I've realized that I hate comedians.
The only ones I can stand are
and 
who are professional comedians that cannot be sued because everything they say is a joke
I've realized that I really really hate satirists, especially the ones who delude themselves that they're smart and politically aware but are actually just default pro-imperial stooges
I don’t even view Brace and Liz as comedians. I think I am referring to stand-ups more than anything tho, they always eventually lean into being anti-woke, pissing and moaning about being cancelled, and eventually taking millions to do a comedy show in Saudi Arabia.
Satirists too tho, like you said, they put themselves on such a high horse because they have the capacity to minimize problems through absurdity. Satire can be fun, don’t get me wrong, but it’s the SNL type shit that where the general public feels like they are doing something by laughing at Darrell Hammond doing the same impression of another president.
