Ahah, but how could a professional comedian - someone who is literally trained to be funny in front of an audience - be that good at being funny in front of an audience? Checkmate liberal!
Do these people have any idea how stupid they sound? This is the dumbest conspiracy theory of all time. Yes, some people are actually just really good at being witty on the spot. Not all stand up comedians just recite a bunch of prewritten jokes, most of them (especially the really good ones) teach themselves how to be improvisationally funny. These idiots sound like they've never seen an improv comedy show, or a British panel show or any other kind of improv comedy.
And the idea that it would be hard to get genuine hecklers by saying vaguely left wing stuff in America is even dumber. Sorry America but opinionated assholes are basically 90% of your population. If anything it's surprising he doesn't get more hecklers.
WTF does any of this have to do with politics? Seriously, are you really that person that injects the “checkmate libruls!” bullshit into every topic you find yourself in?
And, who are “these people?”
Do you mean these people with personal opinions that are derivative of their own observations? Because, man- I really hate to break it to you, but- that’s how shit works for everyone that thinks for themselves.
And since you made this political, I’ll say that maybe the reason you are so butt-hurt by the opinions of others lies within the fact that you people don’t like it when others think differently than what your own programming suggests.
Maybe it’s best that you work on learning not to concern yourself so much with politicizing people opinions of comedians and more time asking yourself whey you feel the need to do so to begin with…
mmmmkay?
Yikes. Seems like you just proved their point lol. The "programming" you're unhappy with is just critical thinking. Instead of assuming some grand conspiracy is at play, why not take a breath and consider different ideas for how things got to be the way that they are? And it's really no secret that a lot of the hecklers are conservatives as they're usually quite proud of that. Moderates to trump republicans to literal Nazis have heckled him. Acknowledging the reality of the political ideals of most of these hecklers is not politicizing this, it's just pointing out facts. If that's offensive to you, then maybe it's you who is butt-hurt here.
Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh. Though I’m not going to apologize that I hurt your feeling by not liking your favorite comedian, I’ll just agree to disagree on something that is more than likely entirely irrelevant to both of us.
Go find an argument elsewhere.
