There are conservative actors, singers and athletes but ...

[Kablooie]

are there any conservative comedians?

Do Republicans have any sense of humor?

(And to call a buffoon like Limbaugh a comedian is to demean the craft of comedy.)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

1. dennis miller was once funny

that's all I got

[MrMickeysMom]

25. Precisely... once and NO MORE!

Dennis Miller is an absolute joke as a human being, and rates pathetic on the funniness scale. I really used to think he was hip and had cadence with his hipness. He lost all that - JUST like that.

This is what happens when you start jacking off with you right hand too much, I'm guessing.

[timtom]

47. At the risk of seeming contrary

Dennis Miller was NEVER funny! (IMHO)

[lunamagica]

67. I completely agree with you

I always found Miller unfunny, and his smugness so irritating!

His brilliant move was to sell himself as a hip, sophisticated comedian with a superior intellect. Those who didn't find him funny were of course too ignorant, uneducated and simple-minded to "get him". So many of his "fans" just wanted to show they had the intellectual superiority to get Miller's jokes.

Every time he said something and paused with that look of "aren't you dazzled by my brilliance?" I just felt like smacking him

[TwilightGardener]

2. Drew Carey, and the above mentioned Dennis Miller, and Victoria Jackson.

[WCGreen]

7. I knew Drew Carey back when he use to come into the bar I worked

at in Parma...

He wasn't funny back then and he isn't funny now...

[TwilightGardener]

12. Could never figure out how he became famous, frankly.

[Hugabear]

19. The OP was asking about comedians

The people you listed aren't even remotely funny

[TwilightGardener]

20. I contend that Dennis Miller was funny in his SNL days.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

61. Dennis got his balls cut off during the MNF debacle

Rush Limpballs sandbagged the guy's gig, and he decided if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Pathetic.

[Kablooie]

35. The people mentioned were professional comedians.

They didn't have to be funny, just make a living trying to be funny.

[PA Democrat]

43. I don't think Victoria Jackson was ever a "comedian"

I think she always played herself- so stupid she is laughable.

[LynneSin]

49. Drew Carey is more Libertarian

n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

3. Nick Dipaolo

Then again, he's not funny.

Adam Carolla seems like a righty, but he's not really a comedian....I don't know what he is.

[EFerrari]

22. Nick headlined one New Year here in San Jose.

Doug middled and he did the New Year thing after the show because Di Paolo couldn't be bothered. I was backstage with the comedians' dates and we had a great time. Di Paolo walks in, doesn't greet anyone and calls his date by the wrong name in his best East Coast Surly. A lovely young women who had just been laughing out loud a second before. I felt so bad that she had to spend the rest of the evening with that @sshole.

The right can have him.

Conservative comedians are like chickens' teeth, few and far between and rarely missed.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

60. Yeah, he's a raving asshole

He went on a rant about Obama and health care on the Stern Show a few weeks ago, whining and crying about handouts in that dickhead Boston accent. He and Louis CK get into it about politics now and then. It's the only time he's remotely entertaining when he's getting his ass kicked.

[Ikonoklast]

54. Corolla?

I thought everyone knew.


He's a douchebag.

[Kerrytravelers]

4. Larry the Cable Guy and his other Blue Collar band of loons.

[sadbear]

5. The only funny conservative is Stephen Colbert

You know what I'm getting at, don't you?

[Ozymanithrax]

6. Ron White, Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, and Bill Engvall

are hilarous and Conservative.

[Orrex]

8. I must be getting tired.

For a minute there it sounded like you were describing Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, and Bill Engvall as hilarious.

[TwilightGardener]

13. Ron White, though, is occasionally hilarious.

And I admit to chuckling at some "you might be a redneck" lines. :hide:

[Ozymanithrax]

16. Their blue collar comedy tour days were quite funny.

But that might be because I grew up in Oklahoma, and all of my family were blue collar folk. Their comedy isn't sophisticated, or political, but it is funny

[TwilightGardener]

17. Larry the Cable Guy donated a lot of money to a rehab hospital in Lincoln, NE--

so he's an OK guy--hopefully not like his shtick in real life. I don't think any of them are the finest comedic minds of a generation, but they can be funny--recognize some of my family and friends in their routines, too.

[JonLP24]

29. I don't like him

For Delta Farce. Not only was it horribly unfunny, it was terribly offensive.

[Missy Vixen]

41. It's hard to believe Ron White's a conservative

I believe the show's called "Behavioral Problems"; listen to his comments on when he was busted for pot possession.

If that guy's a conservative, I'd be stunned.

[Ozymanithrax]

53. Listen to his take on the Dealth Penatly...

http://comedians.jokes.com/ron-white/videos/ron-white---death-penalty

Very conservative.

[uncommon]

64. They call me Tater Salad.

I enjoy Ron White - he is a good old boy though.

[jmowreader]

40. Jeff Foxworthy has his moments

Overall, though, he's not that funny.

[FarLeftFist]

24. David Cross digs into Larry

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDimQTJMjB0

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHWF0IBZ6xM

[devilgrrl]

26. thank you for sharing that.

:thumbsup:

David Cross is a genius.

[Mimosa]

68. Ron White, the pot smoking alcoholic, is a conservative? n/t

[Iggo]

9. Larry Miller.

That's one...

[peekaloo]

50. a good comic actor , too

when he's got a smart Liberal writing for him. ;-)

[CommonSensePLZ]

10. No, they take themselves WAY too seriously nt

[marmar]

11. A lot of unintentional Republican comedians.....

nt

[IDHow]

44. Haha, good one, thumbs up!

[David__77]

14. A few, not too many.

It always ends up being snarky or "off." I would class the South Park creators as right-wingers, and there is some humor, but, to me, it is swamped by a certain unfunny obnoxiousness.

[NICO9000]

30. I agree on the South Park guys

My wife had them pegged early on. We watched the show the first couple of years it was on and the missus (a comedy writer herself) figured out their RW bent pretty quickly. Those guys pissed me off royally a few years back when I read an interview with them where they complained about the liberal teachers they had to put up with. Of course, the great conservatives would have no problem with their talking poop character, right?

And yes, there are no funny RW comics. Conservatism and great comedy are mutually exclusive.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

59. Trey and Matt are right-wingers...

.....they just can't admit it to their hipster friends.

[uncommon]

65. Are you guys serious? South Park is conservative?

Have you ever watched it? And actually paid attention?

They mock everything that conservatives stand for.

[JonLP24]

69. I have

while the creators do go after conservatives, they really go after liberals as well. Besides I can't forgive the creators for Team America. Not because they satirized left-wing celebrities, but created a bigoted term that became popular.

On edit-Come to think of it. The left-wing celebrities' union was Film Actors Guild. I'm sure you can figure out what the acronym is for that.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

72. They have far more gusto when they skewer the left-wing

But I think their satire sucks anyway.....except for the Family Guy and WoW episodes.

[madmax]

15. They're all comedians - don't you listen to them?

;) If what they say didn't drive my bp through the roof and turn people into rabid idiots, I'd probably lmao.

Doesn't seem that they have any sense of humour at all and when they do attempt to mimick humour it's either sexist or racist. They consider that humour. Sick bastards.

[digitaln3rd]

18. I can't believe no one mentioned Stephen Crowder

Oh wait.. I'm not surprised! :D

[subterranean]

21. Remember when Fox News tried to start a conservative version of The Daily Show?

I forget what the show was called. It was a huge flop.

[kenny blankenship]

27. The Brown Eye?

Conservatives generally aren't funny, and don't like funny.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

62. LOL

I know a guy who tapes that show while claiming he never watches FAUX......he thinks it's so hip.

[Dash Riprock]

58. That show on Fox was called

I think) “The Half Hour Comedy Hour”. I think they even stole the name. It didn’t last long.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

23. Kelsey Grammer unfortunately...

...and Adam Sandler, Dennis Miller.

[provis99]

31. well Grammer's character Dr. Crane is funny, Grammer is not.

and who the heck thinks Adam Sandler is funny? He's just a loud obnoxious twerp!

[Kablooie]

36. All three fit the bill, though Grammer is more of a comic actor.

[LawnLover]

28. I think Sarah Palin is hilarious. nt.

[GReedDiamond]

32. P.J. O'Rourke...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._J._O%27Rourke

The only one of 'em all I think may be funny, offered otherwise for your consideration, without comment...

ON EDIT: OK, the OP sez "Republicans" -- P.J. is a "Libertarian" -- I withdraw his name -- sorry.

--

At least he's funny.

[Kablooie]

37. I didn't know O'Rourke was conservative. Even Libertarian.

He's definitely a clever, funny writer.

[pstokely]

33. Fundie comedians?

?

[Norrin Radd]

34. Sam the Eagle from the Muppet show.

[Kablooie]

38. Oh, what about Jay Leno? Is he Republican?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

45. yeah, but funny?

an asshole, for sure

[political_Dem]

39. There's Sarah's eight-part show about Alaska.

That should provoke some big laughter.

[mikeytherat]

42. Conservatives and humor go together like ice cream and dog shit.

mikey_the_rat

[HughBeaumont]

57. Unless they say something so jaw-droppingly stupid, you can't help but laugh.

Mind if I steal the "Ice cream and dog shit"? Because that's, well, the truth about this whole matter . . .

[Bluenorthwest]

46. It is almost impossible to be an American style conservative

and be a comedian at the same time. It has to do with status roles and comedy basics. Perhaps the essence of comedy is the methodical destruction of existing decorum, and conservatives want to preserve the existing decorum in a rather basic way. Attempts at 'conservative comedy' lead to mean material, which even conservatives do not find to be funny.

[Kablooie]

55. That sounds about right.

Someone mentioned that Gallagher is a conservative.
Makes sense since his act consists of destroying things.

Bah dum -- clash!

[CBGLuthier]

48. I have never seen a funny movie from Germany

I wonder if there is a connection?

[LibertyLover]

71. A German historian I know once made this observation about German movies

In a German tragedy, everybody dies. In a German comedy, everybody dies, but their kids come back and avenge them.

[City Lights]

51. Jackie Mason.

He's a "comedian," however, I can't recall ever laughing at anything he's said.

:thumbsdown:

[cherish44]

52. Gallagher (the watermelon smashing guy)

He's turned into a right wing loon apparently. Maybe he always was but I don't remember him being political back in the day

[truebrit71]

70. He was always an asshole though...

..met him once...total fucking jerk off

[joeybee12]

56. I laugh AT Republicans...

but I guess that's not the same thing.

[AndrewP]

63. I think that Larry the Cable guy group of comedians are

But they are about as funny as cancer, so they are "comedians".

I used to think Dennis Miller was clever. Then for whatever reason he started barking around the year 2000 and isn't the same guy anymore.

[Crankie Avalon]

66. Does it have to be living people? How about Bob Hope?

Purring like a randy cat when some big boobed actress would walk by...that's about the level of his wit that I can remember.
