Mr. Birchum is a Vietnam vet, yet he is only in his 40s or 50s. This is a clever reference to the fact that the people behind the show are mentally, emotionally, socially, and politically stuck in the 1990s. Edit: 2K likes jeez. Seriously though, how many of these people look back fondly on the 90s as a time when things were less "political"? They decided politics were a waste of time and then act shocked that the world kept on turning without them. Part of the reactionary current, if you ask me, stems from an embarrassment at their own detachment from politics. Their apolitical nature leaves them with no answers, nothing to believe in, nothing to defend except what keeps them in the comfort zone they believe they had in the Good Old Days.
@@nicholasrage1640 Vietnam was a brutal war hated by the Left, so a conservative veteran supposedly undermines leftist condemnation of US imperialism, much the same way a black conservative character is meant to undermine leftist condemnation of the right as racist. "I went to Nam and I came out conservative! Those hippies have no idea what they're talking about!" The Gulf War was so brief that it didn't become a political touchstone the way 'Nam did. A conservative Gulf vet might seem like a try-hard who romanticizes war when his own experience of war was relatively easy (compared to Nam) and short.
An “anti-woke” show being slammed by the very audience it caters to because of the very PRESENCE of “woke” elements, even to make fun of them, is levels of perfect irony I wasn’t sure was possible. Such a privilege to even be able to walk through life with that much solipsism.
When the thing came up that said the show "wasn't overly political," I paused the video and mused that it probably meant that every major character would be a straight, white male. And I was largely correct. What I didn't expect was that the *expectation* its target audience had was for that to be every character full stop.
@@Biscotum well everyone knows theres only two genders: men and political. and there's only two sexual orientations: straight and political. and there's only two skin colors: white and political. and only two religions: (your particular flavor of) christianity and political.
What I took away from that segment was how vehemently they hate the existence of the LGBTQ+ community. They hate them so much that they don't want to make fun of them, they don't even want to be reminded that they exist. It must be terrible to hate something so hard.

One thing that always gets me, is people who say the DMV is bad, which like, it is, but that's because there's literally never enough employees for the even small cities. But, like, could you imagine the DMV being run by Comcast?

The vegan wolf isn't even visibly starving. Maybe the joke was that vegans are annoying but they didn't even do that either! Imagine the new guy walks into your workplace, says "My name is Dan", and in response everybody starts beating him to death

Which party is the "gay cancellation" party exactly? I'm slightly confused Every conservative I know thinks that EVERYONE deserves equal rights but that no group deserves special rights. That's about it. Please don't strawman the majority of Americans. I'm traditional Catholic and I have no issues whatsoever with the equal distribution of rights but I do think giving special privilege is inherently wrong even if it was America suddenly giving Catholics special rights. On the inverse it seems that the left is pretending to offer special status over some perceived grievance to whoever will keep them in power as if people are useful idiots who only have a single collective trait that can be exploited for power even if it sets us back decades Which is Marxism 101. Hooray for Saul alinsky I guess. Point is the daily wire is controlled opposition and I can't stand them and they don't represent the right the same way I hope Velma doesn't represent the left. I think we agree more than disagree because we are all unique humans with our own experience and can't be lumped into left vs right. But if you want to imagine the right is "evil" because you were told to think so, then there's no reconciliation. It makes me sad but there it is
@@Lemoncakelover678nitnto mention Shapiro explicitly told Rubin TO HIS FACE MULTIPLE TIMES that he would not attend Rubin's wedding because Shapiro's Judaism views homosexuality is a sin. The whole "don't hate the sinner hate the sin" talking point that still discriminates against gay people.
The thing about the vegan wolf joke is that it sucks because the vegan wolf didn't die or suffer due to its veganism. It was murdered by the other wolves for being annoying. Which is like... is the show trying to say veganism is bad purely because it annoys people?
@@Ignite_GT I mean if they ate him because he annoyed them then they sort of definitely cared. And it wasn't a very good joke, because lots of things are annoying. It would have been a good joke if it was something like the wolf was hunting a massive cube of tofu out in the wild for example. The joke writes itself.
The whole vegan wolf thing sums up conservative "comedy" perfectly. It's not actually a joke, it's just a vignette of someone they don't like getting hurt or killed. Tells you everything you need to know about them as people, really. Also fuck this show, I was a shop teacher for 6 years and take personal offense at the portrayal of shop teachers being fragile masculine white Christian nationalists.
As a conservative, this isn't even remotely true. I and many others that I know find this kind of humor to be terrible. While I may disagree with someone on their views, I would never wish death upon them. Generalizing groups just divides us even further and hostilizes discussion. So just be open-minded when approaching these conversations. ^^
@@KobKobold Depends on what you mean by human rights. Gay marriage? Fine. Universal healthcare? Sounds great, but is tough to implement both financially and efficiently.
The worst part is that, in most cases, Karponzi is reasonable. Mr. Birchum regularly abuses his power and the children in his care. Usually, in comedies, the antagonist is meant to be an overreacting buzzkill, or the main character is intended to be portrayed as wrong. Yet, Karponzi is bringing up good points here, such as not forcing random children to build their teacher's deck or not personally enjoying alcohol. Why is the audience meant to hate this guy again?
Conservative logic is that no matter what the message actually is it needs to be delivered in a way that makes them comfortable and pandered to, you can pretty much call for genocide as long as you use the right words

Its so funny that their core audience got mad at the mere presence of a gay character whose sole purpose was to be mocked, yet the people who this show was supposed to be mocked went nuts with gay fan art because they genuinely like the character.
To them, if a gay character doesn't exist simply to be vanquished (or killed) it's woke representation. It's like most media pre-80s: gay characters or people who indulge in vices, for example, had to pay a big price (frequently death) for those transgressions, in the storyline. They want everyone to think of those people as deviant and deserving of punishment, like most did in the 50s.

I always go back to thinking about Dave Rubin when it comes to the Leopards Ate My Face phenomenon. For a few years he was everywhere, hyped by right wing media as the token gay conservative in a pathetic attempt to argue that conservativism should be the ideology that the queer community embraces. Then when he had outlived his usefulness they discarded him and called him a unholy degenerate for having a husband and kids.
When Ted Cruz sat there and told him to his face that his family shouldn't exist and Dave had to just sit there and suck it down for the grift, that was when I knew that I could start living my life authentically, knowing that I could never be that cringe.
Thats the problem with trying to be a pick me of any marginalized group You sell your soul to be allowed into the club by the bouncer as a special favor, an exception (because you're "one of the good ones") but that's the thing--youre always gonna be there only by their tenuous allowance,by how far you can distance yourself from the marginalized group while still serving the role of a token. But, as said in the video, the "in-group shrinks." And that same bouncer is kicking you to the curb the minute the higher-ups change the club rules. The problem with being a pick me is, at the end of the day, they're never going to pick you. No matter how much you throw other queer folks or folks of color or people in poverty under the bus, nothing permanently can guarantee you wont share the same fate.
@@anangoohns And the thing that is so insidious about it is that those most likely to be pick me's are the ones who think they aren't "like those other ones" - those already isolated by some friction with their own demographics. The club can't do anything with those they've already directly abused and/or are wise to their crap so they have to opportunistically manipulate the ones looking to belong. It's almost like the pick me's pick have to pick themselves. Sadly, no one truly picks the pick me's - not even themselves......
The vegan wolf joke doesn't make sense. The joke shouldn't be that the other wolves would attack them, it's that they would starve. There's a Futurama joke about a vegan lion to this effect
I guess the joke was meant to be that "vegans are weak, and society will eat them because they can't defend themselves" or something along those lines? Or maybe I'm putting more thought into it, than the people who wrote that episode.
That's the problem... There's two jokes right on the cusp of being implemented; One is about how much people hate vegans, and the other one is about vegan being impractical and unnatural (for carnivores). The show just doesn't do either joke; It's basically saying that there is a joke they could make, and then pointing to a hastily written document outlining things about veganism, instead of actually doing the comedy. Which is pretty much what this show does.
@@Levyathyn It also muddles itself by making the wolf look like a HIPSTER stereotype (manbun, snooty attitude, wolfbro looks like a wolf version of an afghan hound), not a VEGAN one (thin to the point of skeletal frailty, scruffy and mangy, lecturing the other wolves about how they're uncivilized beasts or the health benefits of eating salad). They couldn't even hate the stereotype correctly when all they had to do was expy ThatVeganTeacher as a wolf and they'd have managed ONE joke.
Excellent essay! “Show has gay character therefore woke!” is a brilliant distillation of the childlike thought process of these people. As a history nerd I have just one teeny nitpick, though… when you do the zoom-in to the leaders of the Beer Hall Putsch at 15:17 explaining of Hitler and Röhm that, “They were buddies!”, the guy you zoomed on to the left of Hitler in the picture, the guy wearing the big Picklhaube, ISN’T Röhm! That’s Erich Ludendorff, one of Germany’s leading generals, second only to Paul von Hindenburg, from the First World War. Röhm is the guy just on the OTHER side of Hitler!
Fair but he was pretty much hitlers best friend apearently.. And was sold out because the military wasnt on board with dolp if a dirty commoner military was there, the SA, the natsee mob force it started as.

@@doefarris2189 This is why I've been insisting for a couple years now that the argument of "the movie IDIOCRACY is a documentary" is completely inaccurate. No I'm sorry but the society depicted in that movie is significantly above us on the cosmic ladder. The people in that story were how they were simply because they were ignorant and didn't know any better. They fully cared about the environment and wanted to do right by agriculture ("it's what plants crave!") they were just too dumb to know how/why they were wrong with their approach. The culture in IDIOCRACY was not motivated so overwhelmingly by hatred and spite, like us. It's not a documentary, it's sci-fi utopia. A depiction of how we could be if only we were kinder to each other.
There's two gender identities: men and political. Two races: white and political. Two orientations: straight and political. Two body types: thin and political. And on and on it goes, they should have really kept that in mind when making their characters
Naw being thin is woke now because it means you’re “soy” and weak. Conservatives love overanalyzing men’s physical features to point out how they’re “low-t” or “beta” or whatever. If a man isn’t muscular or athletic than he is woke or whatever….or even if he is, cause these troglodytes think everything is “woke” Also, listen here, LIBERAL. There are only THREE genders: Ford, Chevy, and Dodge 😤💯🔥
Does this joke really make sense when anyone who isn't straight and white gets lumped into these labels like POC/BIPOC and Queer? With the understanding that straight white yadda yadda labes are "the bad guys" so to speak?
Lol, I guess I am a man, white, political, and political, lol. But honestly, I'm not invested in gay culture or causes, and I am fat, but I don't think it's a good thing that should be glorified. That said, I am 2 minutes in to the video, and I am already bored, lol
What baffles me is the people who staunchly believe they are being apolitical while constantly talking politics. Like deliberately excluding from fiction people and ideas whose politics you don't like is apolitical. "I don't have a problem with gay people existing, as long as they're only allowed to exist where I can't see them." That's not apolitical. That's what homophobia looks like.
That's because they view anything that deviates from what they believe to be "political" without understanding that their own view point, is in fact also political. They lack the self reflection to understand what is normal to them might not be normal to other people.
Nowadays you can't even receive praise that you made a gay character. People will still be mad at you even if that's what the LGBT community wanted. You can't satisfy anybody anymore. Just like what happened to the backlash of Strange World & Baymax the series. They say we want diversity, but if you give what they want, they will say it's too forced.
And also ironically, by complaining that "everything" is political, they're making it more political. Everyone could be watching a TV show in blissful silence, and then Mr. I-Won't-Admit-I'm-Actually-Conservative yells "It's too political!" and therefore launches a huge discussion on the show's politics.
@@esverker7018 They complain how putting a gay or black character is somehow political but they made it political. But if it’s a white or straight character, there’s no discussion.
I think the thought process is something like "What I believe is just normal common sense, therefor not political. What other people believe is antithetical to human existence as I envision it, therefor political, because they have to use 'big government' to force us all to go against human nature."
They're literally pro genocide. There's a scary amount of otherwise normal sounding people that are completely content, if not happy, that Israel might just wipe out Palestinians.
Politics aside, Saberspark compared Mr.Birchum with Hank Hill (king of the hill) What made Hank work as a conservative character was if you were genuinely a person not trying to hurt anyone and doing your best to be good, Hank would probably stick up for you, even if he is stuck in his ways. Mr. Birchum would watch you trip and crack your head open, tell you it’s your fault, and stop being lazy and pick yourself up already.
@@Peasham yeah sorry didn’t explain it well- I know KOTH is not in of itself conservative, but Hank himself often had conservative views. So it was more comparing the characters themselves than the shows.
Hank would call a doctor cause even if he disagreed with you he's still a decent enough man. Mr birchum would jsut watch you die without lifting a finger.
Every cutaway in this show is essentially: "Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the othe side!" Then a clip is shown of a chicken walking across a road
Well that joke actually has a deep history and a second layer of meaning. It kind of stopped making sense because of the way language has changed over the generations, but there is still a subtle meaning to it and I don't know if it applies to most people but at least for me, there came a time in my life where I realized the nuance to the 'other side' part, and it gave me a trouble and maybe realized that not everything is just how it looks on the surface. I get what you're going for, but I think it's pretty entertaining that even your example bad joke comparison has more layers and meaning than anything in this show.
Yeah even setting the mountain of political stuff aside, the jokes are just plain awful. The vegan wolf punchline is the wolf says “I’m vegan” and gets eaten? Anyone with even a mild humorous knack could come up with a far better bit than that. Lol it’s just plain shit
Their CEO's name is "Boering" and pronounced "boring." Why are we even pretending to be surprised of the end results? Not even the Onion could make this up!
I mean, if right wingers understood irony, they wouldn't have made a show based on Ron "I'M AN OBVIOUS CARICATURE OF YOU PEOPLE!!" Swanson in the first place.
Futurama did this with a lion. The people said they got a lion to eat tofu, and it pans to their emaciated lion that just coughs wheezily. That was funny.
and it works beyond being funny because its an actual criticism of veganism, of how vegans often try to force others to conform to their lifestyle, of how their attempts to do this with animals (yes, there are vegans who have actually done this) cause harm the only way it could have worked better is if it included the classism often present in vegans
See the thing is that joke doesn't just stand alone, or as the punchline to the entire scene like it would in a lesser show. You are talking about a joke with a setup in punchline that happen within 7 seconds in a scene, where that is the weakest joke of the scene, sandwiched in a string of jokes at the same pacing. All of this, and it still is better than ANY attempt at humor in this entire show, that is, to quote a youtube animation that parodies this exact style even outside of being right propaganda, "using the rhythms of comedy with no punchline"
But… Katy Perry didn’t even sing “Fight Song.” I know this is nowhere near the point of anything but… that’s such a fucking basic thing for this show to get wrong.
We all know that no one involved in writing this thing gave one iota of a shit about being funny, so why start when it comes to fact-checking? Right-wingers think that term is a _slur._
That was actually kind of funny if it was on purpose or not. Completely ruined by the Nancy Pelosi bikini pics bit. It’s SUCH a reach it sucks all comedy out of the room.
Let's presume it was intentional (because the more obvious scenario is far more boring). In this reality, the joke is about how Liberal McGayman doesn't actually have his ear to the ground of elements of culture - even the things that are supposed to be of his own! The official song of the Hillary Clinton campaign and you don't even know Rachel Platten wrote it? Pathetic. On paper, this is actually a solid setup for a quick but pointed joke about the superficiality of liberals. However, the joke falls apart when they select the artist who he mistakes it for. Katy Perry is ... FAR too believable as the author of the song. Maybe they didn't even mean to reference Fight Song, but instead the nothingburger car-commercial-bait song she did for the 2016 Olympics, "Rise"? In which case the joke would be about how milquetoast and insipid those on the left are. That reference would probably fly over the heads of most viewers, though, so probably not. The correct artist to put here, I feel, would have been Lady Gaga. "Born This Way" isn't exactly a fight song, but it's the kind of thing that makes you think. "Fight Song" would be a very non-weird song from the weirdest major artist of the 2010s, but ... eh, it's conceivable. Plus, it's relevant to the character specifically! While Katy's relationship with the queer community was decidedly positive, it was also a bit tenuous overall. Gaga was a gay icon through and through. I'm thinking way too hard about a 3-second joke made by The Daily Wire lol. Just. It feels like an obvious fix!!
This reminds me of that banned Boondocks episode where Uncle Ruckus shares Jimmy Rebel’s racist views, but because Rebel cultivated a racist audience, Rebel gets rejected for collaborating with Ruckus.
it is indeed very woke and snowflakey of them. Imagine being threatened by the mere existence of gay, queer and trans kids but still fronting like you're the big tough macho guys.
Real. I got secondhand embarrassment of that clip of that woman crying and shaking at the thought of a gay person being in her TV show. How sensitive can you be.
this makes me remember a conversation between a pair of Neo nazis. "What happens when there are no more jews" "then we start on those who don't have blue eyes" there will always be an out group, no matter what we do, and when we don't have one, people are ousted from the in-group to create one
It's like how Texas Republicans always run on a platform of fixing what the liberals did to Texas. It's you know pretty standard makes sense, at least from a conservative viewpoint, but it falls apart the minute you have an outside perspective and remembering that Texas has been in control of the GOP for like 20 years or more. So the problems they're 'fixing' are built-in to the conservative system. But they can keep blaming outsiders over and over again to grab power and hold on to it. The Nazi ideology will turn out the same, because it's just going to perpetuate the same problems; the people on top are going to have all of the power, all of the freedom, all of the control, all of the money, and they're not going to spend any of those fixing things for everyone else. And it's just going to be easier to blame an out group then to actually do their jobs.
It's almost like they never cared about who they hated and more just wanted something to hate, just happens Jews were the target. I guess that is why Nazi are the execeptions to the Tolerance rule, while I still consider them a tragedy of a person rather than subhuman, they are a tragedy a mistake of flaws becoming so bad kidness no longer or barely effects it. because they are too incompetently narracistic or Sciopathic to care, that is why you can't tolarate them as is close to impossible for it to be mutual, atleast with a Racist theres a similar degree of humanity, of doing something because you believe in it, they only thing they believe in is who gets to be on the Lonely Rotting Throne.(Spoiler: noone)

If you want to watch this show, but good, it's called King of the Hill. Hank, and much of the main cast, has small town, conservative values. But they don't hate "the wokes" or "the left", they just don't always understand them.
There is a short story called "the lottery" that was published in the new yorker in 1948. Its about a small rural town that everyone is living very comfortably. (gonna summarize here) But, once a year, the town draws a name from a bowl and the town stones that person to death. The book focuses on a women who in the beginning of the book, is carrying on like everything is great (gossiping, making plans, ect), but then her name is drawn (keep in mind, she showed up to the rally to stone whoever name got drawn herself), and NOW she start pointing out how barbaric it is and questioning why they do it. The elders all say "its always been this way", her peers shame her for risking their prosperity if they didn't murder her (its never clear to anyone how murdering someone once a year makes them prosperous). I think back to it often when i see modern conservative pushes.
It was reprinted multiple times since then. I read it in school in.. 1999 or 2000. But, yeah... It also has religious undertones to it too... with the way children are also involved and taught this is perfectly acceptable... and the towns which stopped doing it are in the wrong... *Shrugs*
It was her husband who drew the marked slip of paper. She objected, so they held the drawing again---and _she_ had the marked paper. Then they stoned her for a good harvest.
wait a second... doesn't that phenomenon suggest... having free house and health care and food WOULDN'T make people just take it and settle and never do anything again... 😳
"To his credit, Ben is not a neo-yahtzi" really feels like such an incredibly low bar. It's like that one gay conservative they have (Dave Rubin?) who presumably himself is not homophobic... but all the rest of them are
For some reason, I thought this was an intentional joke, like mashing up the term "Nazi" with the word yacht to produce something that means "socially acceptable rich Nazi" lol
I like the arc conservative characters have. They go from being right about everything, and then, very slowly, over the course of the season, they end up being right about everything.
I gotta love how Mr.Birchum’s Navy friends exist solely so conservatives could point at them and go “see I’m not racist/homophobic, I like this black/asian/hispanic/gay character” and then conservatives completely turned on it and proved that they actually ARE just racist/homophobic
the daily wire really went "i never expected.." about their pandering to phobic people and not having them show up and hate those same people their afraid and disgusted by
That first snippet was definitely hard to watch, but as an American, when she said, "I voted conservatives originally because I thought you were going to be the better choice for me and my children.." And i literally laughed out loud

I think it would still be remembered overwhelmingly fondly as a cult classic, even if not all of it aged great.

They don't really have the same issue as South Park in which pumping episodes out like a factory production on a weekly basis dates the episodes quite quickly. Imagine watching it alongside a person born after the year 2000 and trying to explain who Snookie is during the Jersey Shore episode.
conservative media sphere is funny. daily wire made a gina carano movie where she played a strong, independent woman who defended her land. and the audience HATED it with the usual reasons of wokeness, powerful woman, etc... it probably affected her so much, and despite promises of riches from billionaire oligarch funded daily wire, she is threatening disney to give her her old job back. she couldnt even stick out the grfit for that long
I can't see the appeal of conservative media for women unless they have hatred for themselves and other women. Reminds me of Contrapoints' video on Blaire White. You can try to be "one of the good ones" yet still be dehumanized and hated.
Conservative jokes always run along the line of "Woman but doing man thing?! she'll regret it when husband!" or "trans women but deep voice?! peak comedy!" then always cry "Wokeness!" when they get called boring or unfunny.
Ben Shapiro is learning what it means to push for the farthest-right politics possible and to be surrounded by people who usually desire those same politics- Nazis.
Ben's ENTIRE grift is trying to cultivate non-antisemetic nazis, why do you think he's always throwing around nonsense terms like judeochristian trying to equate christians and jews?
Imagine that, almost as silly as democrats pushing as hard left as possible, and then being surprised that they are surrounded by communists. All the political parties have a certain extremism these days.
Is he though? Because I'm pretty sure if the time came that they bust down his door and dumped him in a camp, he'd be completely blindsighted. utterly astounded, baffled, dumbfounded, confused, disoriented
If I were doing a Vegan Wolf cutaway, it'd probably be a lot more similar to the Fire Truck cutaway with the beats of: - Narrator discusses the might of the Vegan Wolf before cutting to a starved-to-death wolf carcass on the forest floor. - Treats a piece of fruit falling from a nearby tree as "prey," ramping up the intensity of the music like you'd see with a predator on a hunt. - Something else either eats the fruit or knocks it so it rolls downhill, and the narration/music plays a sad sting and talks about how the wolf will need to "try again later." - Throughout, lots of cinematic camera angles and closeups of the (in)action. Play into what the joke is parodying and the expand upon the absurdity of the premise rather than treating the premise itself as the punchline.
The whole anti woke crowd truly is pathetic. Everyone of them is so eagle eyed as to spot a poc or gay person because they think it'll ruin a show. Even in a show ostensibly made for their type, they aren't satisfied.
Yeah like how you spend every waking day of your life constantly obsessing over the existence of "POC" and "Gay" people and eyeballing every conceivable idea known to man and judging whether or not it's inclusive to progressives or if it's just literal fascism.
I don’t think that’s what they try to say. I think it’s more like they don’t need unnecessary political messaging in your face or to change characters for whatever reason I think I don’t know
they're really good at spotting what they don't like and they aren't satisfied unless it's exactly what they want? what a criticism, yeah that's soooooo pathetic
When you see every aspect of life as a competition, you start demanding everyone be categorized as a winner or a loser, with winners getting all the spoils. They assume they're always a winner, so therefore everyone else is a loser, so why the hell are they getting the same shit I'm getting? That's not fair. Not in their eyes.
Everyone who votes Democratic wants to force their ideologies on someone else, until somone forces their idealogies on them. Now I know that isn't true, but this is what happens when you paint with a broad brush.
I didn’t know the Leopard Face Eating Party thing had an origin in the recent past. I thought it’d be older, but then again I’m not even that surprised, which is doubly tragic.

But it could also be more of a Shakespeare thing where that tweet was the first person to use a already used phrase in an iconic public way.

Entomology is a scary rabbit hole 😅 so I'm just gonna stick with the tweet rather than hunt down 2010s web comics and forum posts.

This times a thousand. - It's like how giving a woman breast implants so that she can feel more hetero isn't seen as anyway being trans, how the 'hetero' program, um, I dunno even what to call it, as I'm a fish and the ocean surrounds me... anyway, how kids are awash in the hetero princess pink army boy world, and how that world is shoved down everyone's existence, and still? Some people manage to not be that. Almost as if media doesn't control our souls, no matter how much it would be convenient for marketers if that were true.
“Conservative comedy” is kinda just hate speech or trying to pick on people who care about anything. It’s like if south park had zero self awareness or comedy experience.
That’s the main reason I can’t watch much South Park. South Park tries to play both sides but it does that by making fun of anyone who cares about anything, and it gets to a point where I wonder whether the show itself is worth caring about, but that’s just a personal response and I don’t hold anything against people who do like the show. Mr birchum takes what doesn’t work about South Park and runs with it, ending up with some deeply contradictory and confused line of logic. The show thinks that caring about things is stupid, but then makes exceptions for all the arbitrary things the writers care about. It’s not even subjectively questionable, it’s just an incredibly stupid stance to take all around
@@Yelloweyedrobo honestly yeah same. I was into it more when I was a stupid teenager, but as I get older I realize how kinda toothless its stances are now. South Park has political messaging, but milquetoast spineless “both sides” rhetoric and “if you care about people or things you’re stupid” storytelling
"I voted for conservatives and they did the conservative thing and now I want a conservative to fix it wah wah" conservatives invent a large amount of their problems.
To be fair, conservatives are pretty good at convincing people that their plans are the solution to the problems people face. They show up to a burning building with a flamethrower and make arguments about fighting fire with fire...and maybe a few lies to grease the wheels. That's what politicians with marketing degrees can accomplish.
And the left creates the real ones. I guess your point is party politics are their own worst enemies. America consists of far left and not quite that far left. The moment there's a party that exists to limit government and promote individual liberty versus state over-reach and collectivism then perhaps that will change but it is not this day. Sad... I mean TRULY sad Trump is the closest we can get. Unless you like big government in which case hooray for that I guess. We live in dark times.

5:33 this is also just a borderline 1:1 copy of a Futurama bit with a lion that eats tofu and that Futurama episode does a way better job at poking fun at liberal hippies than this abomination ever does.
I mean you shouldn't have a vegan dog but it is technically possible to give them a vegan diet so long as it meets all the nutritional requirements. Definitely something you should talk with your vet about first though and not something you should try on your own. It is definitely more possible to have a vegan diet for a dog then a cat at least.
@@bestaround3323 yes, this is the actual reason for lab grown meat, humans should learn to love other foods, but cloned disease free painless muscle tissue is perfect for so many obligate carnivores.
@@bestaround3323 Dogs are omnivores. Cats are obligate carnivores. The vegetable matter cats eat is from the stomachs of their victims and grass as a dinner mint.
@@vapx0075 Wolves are still carnivores just to be clear. I am only talking about domesticated dogs. I'm pretty sure it is because dogs were given grain and other plant products while they were actively domesticated. While cats were passively domesticated from hunting mice and other animals going after the stored grain.
Politics all aside, I’m genuinely confused about what we’re supposed to like about the main character. One of the things that stands out the most is how he casually mocks and belittles his son in front of others, in an attempt to help him “man up”. Yes this behavior is seen in other adult cartoons, such as Bojack Horseman and F is for Family, but it’s depicted in a much more negative light, as it should. Good writing has characters with flaws, but it feels like the writers are about as misguided as Birchum himself.
There's a few ways you could go. For the most obvious route, you could make Mr. Birchum's flaws into the butt of the joke, like every generic post-Simpsons sitcom dad.
God, the vegan carnivore gag was done 20 years ago by Futurama when they taught a lion to eat tofu. That show got more laughs out of a single cough that the entirety of the Daily Wire.
Also they are the ones that started it, coined the term, and blasted it at their audience for over a decade now. They perpetuate it, antagonize it, and provoke it. They crave it. Love to hate it. They need it. Otherwise, they'd have to look at actual problems and that's hard.
the problem is that they're not losing. yes, their attempts at comedy, media, television, and social commentary/critique fall flat on their face but that's not actually a problem for them. for all intents and purposes, there is almost no difference between a show that succeeds that promotes their propaganda and a show that fails that does, both are equally useful from a narrative standpoint. not to mention the fact that their talking points take a second to say and longer to debunk. they say something short, quippy and wrong and then you have to give a detailed rebuttal, giving you the illusion of playing defense. classic strategy laid out in the now-classic alt-right playbook by Ian danskin
The Culture War started in the 60’s and ended in the early 90’s with a resounding victory for Political Correctness. Everything since then has just been them gumming up the works for profit and political power, not winning. The last thing they want is a win. They just want to keep their suckers perpetually outraged. All the Daily Wire people under 55 are liberals who cosplay as rightwing Boomers because they hate other liberals and confuse contrarianism for edginess. That’s why Birchem has a black best friend as well as other nonwhite friends and a gay friend. And his wife is a career woman, his son is a gamer, and his stepdaughter wants to be like Birchem. And he never actually says anything offensive, it’s just lame gripes about how things have changed. I remember the 80’s when we routinely said things that would get this comment deleted if I posted them. Then we learned it was wrong and moved on with our lives. But rightwing millennials were children when the shift happened and don’t even know how “woke” they really are because it was part of their upbringing.
The sad thing? Adam Carolla created the character for Crank Yankers to make fun of the political right. Now he's playing the character straight. So it's not really funny.
Carolla was doing the Mr. Birchum character on local radio years before Crank Yankers went on the air. It was originally just a comedic persona and had nothing to do with politics.
It’s honestly terrifying to see so many people use other people a catalyst for their discontent. They are held together by hate and when their is no one left to hate they turn inward on themselves to survive. It’s an easy excuse to justify why the feel wronged by the world rather then better adapting to the world they live in.

the vegan wolf in family guy would either try to eat meat and fail because he’s so morally disturbed by it, or he’d have a conversation with the deer, or he’d eat a plant and throw up everywhere and another wolf would say “that’s poison ivy” and he’d say “i’m not a human nobody taught me plants!” and he’d start crying. i know that doesn’t sound funny on paper but i think it would be.
Or they would have the joke be about a pack of wolves hunting soy lattes (or something like that) through the forest. It could have worked because of the absurdity of it, but it still wouldn't have been a good joke.
This isn't even the first time this has happened to the Daily Wire; back when they made Terror on the Prairie that too was decried as "woke" for having a female protagonists.
DailyWire knows diversity casts are good for marketing yet still criticize it and utilize it themselves. Their nonsensical ideology has trapped them in a corner with their audience.
They´ve significantly contributed to cultivating the far-right in America and now made a show that can only be described as "moderate" in comparison. Truly "amazing".

As someone with zero experience in audio editing, holy hell does mr birchum have bad audio editing. I definitely noticed on some level that the lines sounds wrong in a way i couldnt pinpoint, but it cleared up as you went into it.
I watched Shaun talk about the working conditions of Daily Wire so the subpar quality of their show doesn't surprise me. The people in control probably wanted to get their product out as soon as possible and didn't care about terrible punch in voice lines.
Mr. Birchum is seemingly a wood shop teacher because they felt like harping on how those "woke" artsy types are allergic to putting in effort or breaking a sweat. But I'll tell you for a fact that any half-decent artist would have stayed late to fix that horrific audio rather than put their name on it.

All too often, the person who had their face eaten isn't simply fooled into voting for more, they know their face is gone and happy about it. That's because they saw someone they dislike more getting their face eaten too. It becomes less about who learned their lesson and more about the cruelty of the people who vote for it.
Yep. Peep any right-wing message board and you'll see them celebrating the supreme court for granting the president near unlimited power just because they want Trump to use it to go after his enemies, despite the fact that Biden has that power now too. They will literally eat shit if a left-leaning person has to smell their breath. Pure spite... because they hate thinking about LGBT or brown people.
THANK YOU, EXACTLY. I've crossed paths with a number of people online over the last couple years who were actually quite open and explicit about how as long as the people they hated were getting shafted, they could tolerate getting shafted themselves. The only thing required for any manner of "happiness" for these people is the "others" are suffering
I mean the british have an endemic problem regarding voting for stuff they don't want. "But I didn't want my country to leave the EU!" said woman who voted for her country to leave the EU.
I'm from Belgium and an English friend of mine living here told me he was going to vote to leave the EU. And I was like 'you live and work in Belgium what exactly are you voting for?' and he said 'they made good points'. He regretted his decision afterwards.
thats what sucks about a 2 party system which they effectively have similar to the US. Like in the US if you want gun rights that means giving up healthcare and border security, but if you want to reform the justice system that means supporting Palestine and supporting the Tax and Spend model.
I guarantee Michelle voted tory thinking they were going to put those lazy people back to work and stop with all the handouts ..but skip over her because "she" needs it (the fact that it's a tax credit has no effect on the voter yelling "GET A JOB!" to someone with 3 of them)
Well, that mother may be poor and being lied to but she voted based on being self-centered. She didn't care what happens to the country, she wanted to save money. She claims to want to help her children but did she? No, she made the life of her children worse. She voted conservative all this time and she didn't care what they did and who they harmed because she wasn't affected. I feel empathy because she is clearly struggling but it's hard to feel sympathy when how she voted harmed her.
I think the real problem was that she wasn't paying attention. Too many people vote without being informed. For example: Assorted media have found quite a few people who think Biden is responsible for anti-abortion legislation, just because he was president when Roe v Wade was overturned. They are somehow unaware that it was a long-standing Republican campaign promise, or that Trump appointed the SCOTUS justices who teamed with the Bush justices, or that Trump brags about it, or that Republican state legislatures are taking advantage of it.
So it turns out that when you teach your audience to buy into a nebulous idea of "WOKE" then train them to obsessively search for that in every piece of media they watch, they'll do that even to your own show...who could have thought? That's the thing with the right-wing audiences these grifters cultivate. It doesn't matter how cult-like their devotion is, if you fail to live up to the absurd standards you promote then they WILL turn on you, because that's what you taught them.
Great video that really hits the specific political anxiety I've developed as a queer person in the American South.

They decided politics were a waste of time and then act shocked that the world kept on turning without them.

When the thing came up that said the show "wasn't overly political," I paused the video and mused that it probably meant that every major character would be a straight, white male. And I was largely correct. What I didn't expect was that the *expectation* its target audience had was for that to be every character full stop.
@@Biscotum well everyone knows theres only two genders: men and political. and there's only two sexual orientations: straight and political. and there's only two skin colors: white and political. and only two religions: (your particular flavor of) christianity and political.

So the message is basically: “don’t be different or you’ll get mauled”
The whole vegan wolf thing sums up conservative "comedy" perfectly. It's not actually a joke, it's just a vignette of someone they don't like getting hurt or killed. Tells you everything you need to know about them as people, really.

As a conservative, this isn't even remotely true. I and many others that I know find this kind of humor to be terrible. While I may disagree with someone on their views, I would never wish death upon them. Generalizing groups just divides us even further and hostilizes discussion. So just be open-minded when approaching these conversations. ^^

The worst part is that, in most cases, Karponzi is reasonable. Mr. Birchum regularly abuses his power and the children in his care. Usually, in comedies, the antagonist is meant to be an overreacting buzzkill, or the main character is intended to be portrayed as wrong. Yet, Karponzi is bringing up good points here, such as not forcing random children to build their teacher's deck or not personally enjoying alcohol. Why is the audience meant to hate this guy again?
Because something something woke
The man dreams about dancing with Mr. Karponzi as well. He literally has mugs saying I love wood. He also hates most of his family.
the children yearn for the workshops
Conservative logic is that no matter what the message actually is it needs to be delivered in a way that makes them comfortable and pandered to, you can pretty much call for genocide as long as you use the right words

Its so funny that their core audience got mad at the mere presence of a gay character whose sole purpose was to be mocked, yet the people who this show was supposed to be mocked went nuts with gay fan art because they genuinely like the character.

@@IneedgamesI respect the commitment to the bit.
To them, if a gay character doesn't exist simply to be vanquished (or killed) it's woke representation. It's like most media pre-80s: gay characters or people who indulge in vices, for example, had to pay a big price (frequently death) for those transgressions, in the storyline. They want everyone to think of those people as deviant and deserving of punishment, like most did in the 50s.

As a corollary, deer aren’t strictly herbivores. If they get hungry enough they become predatory and hunt and eat rodents and varmints and such. You want some nightmare fuel? Imagine a massive buck with huge antlers whose face and neck is covered in blood.

I always go back to thinking about Dave Rubin when it comes to the Leopards Ate My Face phenomenon. For a few years he was everywhere, hyped by right wing media as the token gay conservative in a pathetic attempt to argue that conservativism should be the ideology that the queer community embraces. Then when he had outlived his usefulness they discarded him and called him a unholy degenerate for having a husband and kids.
Yup, it's "last hired first fired" when it comes to fas-errr-conservatives appealing to the groups they marginalize. Often quite literally...
When Ted Cruz sat there and told him to his face that his family shouldn't exist and Dave had to just sit there and suck it down for the grift, that was when I knew that I could start living my life authentically, knowing that I could never be that cringe.
Thats the problem with trying to be a pick me of any marginalized group
You sell your soul to be allowed into the club by the bouncer as a special favor, an exception (because you're "one of the good ones") but that's the thing--youre always gonna be there only by their tenuous allowance,by how far you can distance yourself from the marginalized group while still serving the role of a token. But, as said in the video, the "in-group shrinks." And that same bouncer is kicking you to the curb the minute the higher-ups change the club rules.
The problem with being a pick me is, at the end of the day, they're never going to pick you. No matter how much you throw other queer folks or folks of color or people in poverty under the bus, nothing permanently can guarantee you wont share the same fate.
@@anangoohns And the thing that is so insidious about it is that those most likely to be pick me's are the ones who think they aren't "like those other ones" - those already isolated by some friction with their own demographics. The club can't do anything with those they've already directly abused and/or are wise to their crap so they have to opportunistically manipulate the ones looking to belong. It's almost like the pick me's pick have to pick themselves.
Sadly, no one truly picks the pick me's - not even themselves......

The vegan wolf joke doesn't make sense. The joke shouldn't be that the other wolves would attack them, it's that they would starve. There's a Futurama joke about a vegan lion to this effect
I guess the joke was meant to be that "vegans are weak, and society will eat them because they can't defend themselves" or something along those lines?
Or maybe I'm putting more thought into it, than the people who wrote that episode.
@@LadyDoomsinger I'm reasonably sure the full depth of the joke is "violence against people we don't like is funny"
That's the problem... There's two jokes right on the cusp of being implemented; One is about how much people hate vegans, and the other one is about vegan being impractical and unnatural (for carnivores). The show just doesn't do either joke; It's basically saying that there is a joke they could make, and then pointing to a hastily written document outlining things about veganism, instead of actually doing the comedy. Which is pretty much what this show does.
@@Levyathyn It also muddles itself by making the wolf look like a HIPSTER stereotype (manbun, snooty attitude, wolfbro looks like a wolf version of an afghan hound), not a VEGAN one (thin to the point of skeletal frailty, scruffy and mangy, lecturing the other wolves about how they're uncivilized beasts or the health benefits of eating salad).
They couldn't even hate the stereotype correctly when all they had to do was expy ThatVeganTeacher as a wolf and they'd have managed ONE joke.
@@neoqwerty well to be specifically targeted, they would actually have to know anything about the stereotypes they're mocking. They don't.
Excellent essay! “Show has gay character therefore woke!” is a brilliant distillation of the childlike thought process of these people. As a history nerd I have just one teeny nitpick, though… when you do the zoom-in to the leaders of the Beer Hall Putsch at 15:17 explaining of Hitler and Röhm that, “They were buddies!”, the guy you zoomed on to the left of Hitler in the picture, the guy wearing the big Picklhaube, ISN’T Röhm!

@@doefarris2189 This is why I've been insisting for a couple years now that the argument of "the movie IDIOCRACY is a documentary" is completely inaccurate. No I'm sorry but the society depicted in that movie is significantly above us on the cosmic ladder. The people in that story were how they were simply because they were ignorant and didn't know any better. They fully cared about the environment and wanted to do right by agriculture ("it's what plants crave!") they were just too dumb to know how/why they were wrong with their approach. The culture in IDIOCRACY was not motivated so overwhelmingly by hatred and spite, like us. It's not a documentary, it's sci-fi utopia. A depiction of how we could be if only we were kinder to each other.

"The ambulances will have to wait their turn" is a quote that lives rent free in my head.
I'd never seen that whole bit before. I ROARED with laughter! It's possibly the best side-joke Family Guy ever made.
There's two gender identities: men and political. Two races: white and political. Two orientations: straight and political. Two body types: thin and political. And on and on it goes, they should have really kept that in mind when making their characters
Naw being thin is woke now because it means you’re “soy” and weak. Conservatives love overanalyzing men’s physical features to point out how they’re “low-t” or “beta” or whatever. If a man isn’t muscular or athletic than he is woke or whatever….or even if he is, cause these troglodytes think everything is “woke”
Also, listen here, LIBERAL. There are only THREE genders: Ford, Chevy, and Dodge 😤💯🔥
Does this joke really make sense when anyone who isn't straight and white gets lumped into these labels like POC/BIPOC and Queer? With the understanding that straight white yadda yadda labes are "the bad guys" so to speak?
And old and political. And a job from before the year 2000 and political. And survived a world war or political.
Lol, I guess I am a man, white, political, and political, lol. But honestly, I'm not invested in gay culture or causes, and I am fat, but I don't think it's a good thing that should be glorified. That said, I am 2 minutes in to the video, and I am already bored, lol
Okay I made a replied a while back and even though I can't see my comment I still get notified for replies. What is up with that?
What baffles me is the people who staunchly believe they are being apolitical while constantly talking politics. Like deliberately excluding from fiction people and ideas whose politics you don't like is apolitical. "I don't have a problem with gay people existing, as long as they're only allowed to exist where I can't see them." That's not apolitical. That's what homophobia looks like.
That's because they view anything that deviates from what they believe to be "political" without understanding that their own view point, is in fact also political.
They lack the self reflection to understand what is normal to them might not be normal to other people.
Nowadays you can't even receive praise that you made a gay character. People will still be mad at you even if that's what the LGBT community wanted. You can't satisfy anybody anymore. Just like what happened to the backlash of Strange World & Baymax the series. They say we want diversity, but if you give what they want, they will say it's too forced.
And also ironically, by complaining that "everything" is political, they're making it more political. Everyone could be watching a TV show in blissful silence, and then Mr. I-Won't-Admit-I'm-Actually-Conservative yells "It's too political!" and therefore launches a huge discussion on the show's politics.
@@esverker7018 They complain how putting a gay or black character is somehow political but they made it political. But if it’s a white or straight character, there’s no discussion.
I think the thought process is something like "What I believe is just normal common sense, therefor not political. What other people believe is antithetical to human existence as I envision it, therefor political, because they have to use 'big government' to force us all to go against human nature."

Mr. Birchum would watch you trip and crack your head open, tell you it’s your fault, and stop being lazy and pick yourself up already.

@@Peasham it was honestly a great back door into representation and possible dialogue about subjects they'd normally reject outright.
@@Peasham yeah sorry didn’t explain it well- I know KOTH is not in of itself conservative, but Hank himself often had conservative views. So it was more comparing the characters themselves than the shows.
Hank would call a doctor cause even if he disagreed with you he's still a decent enough man. Mr birchum would jsut watch you die without lifting a finger.
King Of The Hill had nuance, although nuance is probably seen as woke now.
Every cutaway in this show is essentially: "Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the othe side!"
Then a clip is shown of a chicken walking across a road
Well that joke actually has a deep history and a second layer of meaning. It kind of stopped making sense because of the way language has changed over the generations, but there is still a subtle meaning to it and I don't know if it applies to most people but at least for me, there came a time in my life where I realized the nuance to the 'other side' part, and it gave me a trouble and maybe realized that not everything is just how it looks on the surface.
I get what you're going for, but I think it's pretty entertaining that even your example bad joke comparison has more layers and meaning than anything in this show.
that's like, the definition of a cutaway?
It's basically just Family Guy only they stripped away the thin veneer of liberalism on that show and applied an overt right wing coating instead.
@@Ignite_GT Except this cutaway repeats the joke rather than adds to it
Yeah even setting the mountain of political stuff aside, the jokes are just plain awful. The vegan wolf punchline is the wolf says “I’m vegan” and gets eaten? Anyone with even a mild humorous knack could come up with a far better bit than that. Lol it’s just plain shit
Their CEO's name is "Boering" and pronounced "boring." Why are we even pretending to be surprised of the end results? Not even the Onion could make this up!
i love that the biggest portion of the fanbase of this show is trans people watching it ironically
I mean, if right wingers understood irony, they wouldn't have made a show based on Ron "I'M AN OBVIOUS CARICATURE OF YOU PEOPLE!!" Swanson in the first place.
And the other portion is people drawing gay fanarts of Mr Birchum and the woke teacher.

Futurama did this with a lion. The people said they got a lion to eat tofu, and it pans to their emaciated lion that just coughs wheezily. That was funny.
and it works beyond being funny because its an actual criticism of veganism, of how vegans often try to force others to conform to their lifestyle, of how their attempts to do this with animals (yes, there are vegans who have actually done this) cause harm
the only way it could have worked better is if it included the classism often present in vegans
"Wheezily" just became a major part of my vocabulary.
@@kylem7153 You are extremely welcome.
See the thing is that joke doesn't just stand alone, or as the punchline to the entire scene like it would in a lesser show. You are talking about a joke with a setup in punchline that happen within 7 seconds in a scene, where that is the weakest joke of the scene, sandwiched in a string of jokes at the same pacing. All of this, and it still is better than ANY attempt at humor in this entire show, that is, to quote a youtube animation that parodies this exact style even outside of being right propaganda, "using the rhythms of comedy with no punchline"
Futurama is really rough on that Hippie, too! I remember that lion, that must have been twenty years ago?
But… Katy Perry didn’t even sing “Fight Song.” I know this is nowhere near the point of anything but… that’s such a fucking basic thing for this show to get wrong.
We all know that no one involved in writing this thing gave one iota of a shit about being funny, so why start when it comes to fact-checking? Right-wingers think that term is a _slur._

@@SpaceManRD"I'M NOT EATING ONE IOTA OF SHIT"
Let's presume it was intentional (because the more obvious scenario is far more boring).
In this reality, the joke is about how Liberal McGayman doesn't actually have his ear to the ground of elements of culture - even the things that are supposed to be of his own! The official song of the Hillary Clinton campaign and you don't even know Rachel Platten wrote it? Pathetic.
On paper, this is actually a solid setup for a quick but pointed joke about the superficiality of liberals. However, the joke falls apart when they select the artist who he mistakes it for.
Katy Perry is ... FAR too believable as the author of the song. Maybe they didn't even mean to reference Fight Song, but instead the nothingburger car-commercial-bait song she did for the 2016 Olympics, "Rise"? In which case the joke would be about how milquetoast and insipid those on the left are. That reference would probably fly over the heads of most viewers, though, so probably not.
The correct artist to put here, I feel, would have been Lady Gaga. "Born This Way" isn't exactly a fight song, but it's the kind of thing that makes you think. "Fight Song" would be a very non-weird song from the weirdest major artist of the 2010s, but ... eh, it's conceivable.
Plus, it's relevant to the character specifically! While Katy's relationship with the queer community was decidedly positive, it was also a bit tenuous overall. Gaga was a gay icon through and through.
I'm thinking way too hard about a 3-second joke made by The Daily Wire lol. Just. It feels like an obvious fix!!
This reminds me of that banned Boondocks episode where Uncle Ruckus shares Jimmy Rebel’s racist views, but because Rebel cultivated a racist audience, Rebel gets rejected for collaborating with Ruckus.

Real. I got secondhand embarrassment of that clip of that woman crying and shaking at the thought of a gay person being in her TV show. How sensitive can you be.
this makes me remember a conversation between a pair of Neo nazis.
"What happens when there are no more jews"
"then we start on those who don't have blue eyes"
there will always be an out group, no matter what we do, and when we don't have one, people are ousted from the in-group to create one
It's like how Texas Republicans always run on a platform of fixing what the liberals did to Texas. It's you know pretty standard makes sense, at least from a conservative viewpoint, but it falls apart the minute you have an outside perspective and remembering that Texas has been in control of the GOP for like 20 years or more.
So the problems they're 'fixing' are built-in to the conservative system. But they can keep blaming outsiders over and over again to grab power and hold on to it.
The Nazi ideology will turn out the same, because it's just going to perpetuate the same problems; the people on top are going to have all of the power, all of the freedom, all of the control, all of the money, and they're not going to spend any of those fixing things for everyone else. And it's just going to be easier to blame an out group then to actually do their jobs.
It's almost like they never cared about who they hated and more just wanted something to hate, just happens Jews were the target.
I guess that is why Nazi are the execeptions to the Tolerance rule, while I still consider them a tragedy of a person rather than subhuman, they are a tragedy a mistake of flaws becoming so bad kidness no longer or barely effects it.
because they are too incompetently narracistic or Sciopathic to care, that is why you can't tolarate them as is close to impossible for it to be mutual, atleast with a Racist theres a similar degree of humanity, of doing something because you believe in it, they only thing they believe in is who gets to be on the Lonely Rotting Throne.(Spoiler: noone)

There is a short story called "the lottery" that was published in the new yorker in 1948. Its about a small rural town that everyone is living very comfortably. (gonna summarize here) But, once a year, the town draws a name from a bowl and the town stones that person to death. The book focuses on a women who in the beginning of the book, is carrying on like everything is great (gossiping, making plans, ect), but then her name is drawn (keep in mind, she showed up to the rally to stone whoever name got drawn herself), and NOW she start pointing out how barbaric it is and questioning why they do it. The elders all say "its always been this way", her peers shame her for risking their prosperity if they didn't murder her (its never clear to anyone how murdering someone once a year makes them prosperous). I think back to it often when i see modern conservative pushes.
It was reprinted multiple times since then. I read it in school in.. 1999 or 2000. But, yeah... It also has religious undertones to it too... with the way children are also involved and taught this is perfectly acceptable... and the towns which stopped doing it are in the wrong... *Shrugs*

I like the arc conservative characters have. They go from being right about everything, and then, very slowly, over the course of the season, they end up being right about everything.
It's very funny how the closest thing to a positive reception this show garner was people drawing gay fanarts of Mr. Bearcum and Mr. Woke.
Wait, is that his name or is it a joke?
@@Duchess_Van_HoofJoke. His name is Carponzi.
I gotta love how Mr.Birchum’s Navy friends exist solely so conservatives could point at them and go “see I’m not racist/homophobic, I like this black/asian/hispanic/gay character” and then conservatives completely turned on it and proved that they actually ARE just racist/homophobic
the daily wire really went "i never expected.." about their pandering to phobic people and not having them show up and hate those same people their afraid and disgusted by
That first snippet was definitely hard to watch, but as an American, when she said, "I voted conservatives originally because I thought you were going to be the better choice for me and my children.."
And i literally laughed out loud
Huh I didn’t know Leopards Ate My Face was posted in reference to a specific event.
Mr. Birchum is so bad, no one could possibly get a chuckle out of it. But one clip of Family Guy with the fire truck hitting the antelope with the ladder and I'm losing it! It keeps hitting with the ladder 😅
early family guy is overhated & I’ll die on that hill
@@PillarofGarbage I haven't heard as much hate for early Family Guy as I have for an overabundance of cutaway gags or the newer stuff
@@PillarofGarbage I still think the Benjamin Disraeli gag was one of the funniest they ever did and also one of the funniest jokes I've ever seen on an animated show.
"You don't even know who I _am._ "
I hate to say it, but getting un-canceled was sort of the worst thing to happen to Family Guy? I think it would still be remembered overwhelmingly fondly as a cult classic, even if not all of it aged great. But since they came back a lot of it became way meaner and focusing on the wrong kinds of "popular" gags. Any time I catch it now I'm reminded both of why I used to love it and why I ultimately stopped watching.
@@PillarofGarbage I really have grown a new appreciation for the first four seasons in recent years, they've aged surprisingly gracefully. They don't really have the same issue as South Park in which pumping episodes out like a factory production on a weekly basis dates the episodes quite quickly. Imagine watching it alongside a person born after the year 2000 and trying to explain who Snookie is during the Jersey Shore episode.
conservative media sphere is funny. daily wire made a gina carano movie where she played a strong, independent woman who defended her land. and the audience HATED it with the usual reasons of wokeness, powerful woman, etc... it probably affected her so much, and despite promises of riches from billionaire oligarch funded daily wire, she is threatening disney to give her her old job back. she couldnt even stick out the grfit for that long
That's just pathetic.
I can't see the appeal of conservative media for women unless they have hatred for themselves and other women. Reminds me of Contrapoints' video on Blaire White. You can try to be "one of the good ones" yet still be dehumanized and hated.
Lmao
This didn’t happen lmfao
That woman made her bed, she just refuses to lie in it.
Conservative jokes always run along the line of "Woman but doing man thing?! she'll regret it when husband!" or "trans women but deep voice?! peak comedy!" then always cry "Wokeness!" when they get called boring or unfunny.
Ben Shapiro is learning what it means to push for the farthest-right politics possible and to be surrounded by people who usually desire those same politics- Nazis.
He learned that Jedo Christians think Jews should go to hell for not being Christian so the team up with them is stupid
yeah ben, the anti semite's least hated semite.
Ben's ENTIRE grift is trying to cultivate non-antisemetic nazis, why do you think he's always throwing around nonsense terms like judeochristian trying to equate christians and jews?
Imagine that, almost as silly as democrats pushing as hard left as possible, and then being surprised that they are surrounded by communists. All the political parties have a certain extremism these days.
Is he though? Because I'm pretty sure if the time came that they bust down his door and dumped him in a camp, he'd be completely blindsighted. utterly astounded, baffled, dumbfounded, confused, disoriented
If I were doing a Vegan Wolf cutaway, it'd probably be a lot more similar to the Fire Truck cutaway with the beats of:
- Narrator discusses the might of the Vegan Wolf before cutting to a starved-to-death wolf carcass on the forest floor.
- Treats a piece of fruit falling from a nearby tree as "prey," ramping up the intensity of the music like you'd see with a predator on a hunt.
- Something else either eats the fruit or knocks it so it rolls downhill, and the narration/music plays a sad sting and talks about how the wolf will need to "try again later."
- Throughout, lots of cinematic camera angles and closeups of the (in)action.
Play into what the joke is parodying and the expand upon the absurdity of the premise rather than treating the premise itself as the punchline.
mmh, premise as punchline does seem to be the right's entire playbook
Congratulations. You are officially funnier than every conservative in existence.

Yeah like how you spend every waking day of your life constantly obsessing over the existence of "POC" and "Gay" people and eyeballing every conceivable idea known to man and judging whether or not it's inclusive to progressives or if it's just literal fascism.

“Conservative comedy” is kinda just hate speech or trying to pick on people who care about anything. It’s like if south park had zero self awareness or comedy experience.
And the difference is?
South Park makes fun of anyone doing anything stupid
Mr. Birchum insults liberals when they do anything
@@Targetstrike You have raised my appreciation for that potty mouth show.
That’s the main reason I can’t watch much South Park. South Park tries to play both sides but it does that by making fun of anyone who cares about anything, and it gets to a point where I wonder whether the show itself is worth caring about, but that’s just a personal response and I don’t hold anything against people who do like the show.
Mr birchum takes what doesn’t work about South Park and runs with it, ending up with some deeply contradictory and confused line of logic. The show thinks that caring about things is stupid, but then makes exceptions for all the arbitrary things the writers care about. It’s not even subjectively questionable, it’s just an incredibly stupid stance to take all around
@@Yelloweyedrobo honestly yeah same. I was into it more when I was a stupid teenager, but as I get older I realize how kinda toothless its stances are now. South Park has political messaging, but milquetoast spineless “both sides” rhetoric and “if you care about people or things you’re stupid” storytelling
"I voted for conservatives and they did the conservative thing and now I want a conservative to fix it wah wah" conservatives invent a large amount of their problems.
This comment goes DEEP.
*ALL of their problems
To be fair, conservatives are pretty good at convincing people that their plans are the solution to the problems people face. They show up to a burning building with a flamethrower and make arguments about fighting fire with fire...and maybe a few lies to grease the wheels. That's what politicians with marketing degrees can accomplish.
And the left creates the real ones. I guess your point is party politics are their own worst enemies.
America consists of far left and not quite that far left.
The moment there's a party that exists to limit government and promote individual liberty versus state over-reach and collectivism then perhaps that will change but it is not this day.
Sad... I mean TRULY sad Trump is the closest we can get.
Unless you like big government in which case hooray for that I guess.

5:33 this is also just a borderline 1:1 copy of a Futurama bit with a lion that eats tofu and that Futurama episode does a way better job at poking fun at liberal hippies than this abomination ever does.

I mean you shouldn't have a vegan dog but it is technically possible to give them a vegan diet so long as it meets all the nutritional requirements. Definitely something you should talk with your vet about first though and not something you should try on your own.
It is definitely more possible to have a vegan diet for a dog then a cat at least.
@@bestaround3323 yes, this is the actual reason for lab grown meat, humans should learn to love other foods, but cloned disease free painless muscle tissue is perfect for so many obligate carnivores.
@@bestaround3323 Dogs are omnivores. Cats are obligate carnivores. The vegetable matter cats eat is from the stomachs of their victims and grass as a dinner mint.
@@vapx0075 Wolves are still carnivores just to be clear. I am only talking about domesticated dogs.
I'm pretty sure it is because dogs were given grain and other plant products while they were actively domesticated. While cats were passively domesticated from hunting mice and other animals going after the stored grain.
Politics all aside, I’m genuinely confused about what we’re supposed to like about the main character. One of the things that stands out the most is how he casually mocks and belittles his son in front of others, in an attempt to help him “man up”. Yes this behavior is seen in other adult cartoons, such as Bojack Horseman and F is for Family, but it’s depicted in a much more negative light, as it should. Good writing has characters with flaws, but it feels like the writers are about as misguided as Birchum himself.
yeah it feels like it very much belongs to the "being an asshole = funny" school of comedy
cause being mean is 'normal' in the conservative's eyes, as all weakness must be rooted out and only the strong remain.
because they're nazis.
When your protagonist is also the main authority figure, any “jokes” they make at others expense just comes across as punching down and bullying.
There's a few ways you could go. For the most obvious route, you could make Mr. Birchum's flaws into the butt of the joke, like every generic post-Simpsons sitcom dad.
You know, I was happier not knowing this show existed.
Think I've gotta agree with you there...
I find the whole thing amusing. Not the show itself, but how bad it is and the right-wingers refusal to watch something meant to pander to them.
God, the vegan carnivore gag was done 20 years ago by Futurama when they taught a lion to eat tofu.
That show got more laughs out of a single cough that the entirety of the Daily Wire.
*dry cough*
Its funny to see them losing the culture war and failing to see WHY theyre losing
Also they are the ones that started it, coined the term, and blasted it at their audience for over a decade now.
They perpetuate it, antagonize it, and provoke it.
They crave it. Love to hate it. They need it. Otherwise, they'd have to look at actual problems and that's hard.
the problem is that they're not losing. yes, their attempts at comedy, media, television, and social commentary/critique fall flat on their face but that's not actually a problem for them. for all intents and purposes, there is almost no difference between a show that succeeds that promotes their propaganda and a show that fails that does, both are equally useful from a narrative standpoint. not to mention the fact that their talking points take a second to say and longer to debunk. they say something short, quippy and wrong and then you have to give a detailed rebuttal, giving you the illusion of playing defense. classic strategy laid out in the now-classic alt-right playbook by Ian danskin
The Culture War started in the 60’s and ended in the early 90’s with a resounding victory for Political Correctness. Everything since then has just been them gumming up the works for profit and political power, not winning. The last thing they want is a win. They just want to keep their suckers perpetually outraged.
All the Daily Wire people under 55 are liberals who cosplay as rightwing Boomers because they hate other liberals and confuse contrarianism for edginess. That’s why Birchem has a black best friend as well as other nonwhite friends and a gay friend. And his wife is a career woman, his son is a gamer, and his stepdaughter wants to be like Birchem. And he never actually says anything offensive, it’s just lame gripes about how things have changed.
I remember the 80’s when we routinely said things that would get this comment deleted if I posted them. Then we learned it was wrong and moved on with our lives. But rightwing millennials were children when the shift happened and don’t even know how “woke” they really are because it was part of their upbringing.

The sad thing? Adam Carolla created the character for Crank Yankers to make fun of the political right. Now he's playing the character straight. So it's not really funny.
What IS funny is him thinking it’d be funny.
Carolla was doing the Mr. Birchum character on local radio years before Crank Yankers went on the air. It was originally just a comedic persona and had nothing to do with politics.
Adam Carolla has been a dick for over 20 years. I honestly never understood how anyone ever found him funny.
His envy of Jimmy Kimmel is as plain as the nose on his face.
It’s honestly terrifying to see so many people use other people a catalyst for their discontent. They are held together by hate and when their is no one left to hate they turn inward on themselves to survive.
It’s an easy excuse to justify why the feel wronged by the world rather then better adapting to the world they live in.

All too often, the person who had their face eaten isn't simply fooled into voting for more, they know their face is gone and happy about it.

..but skip over her because "she" needs it (the fact that it's a tax credit has no effect on the voter yelling "GET A JOB!" to someone with 3 of them)
Well, that mother may be poor and being lied to but she voted based on being self-centered. She didn't care what happens to the country, she wanted to save money. She claims to want to help her children but did she? No, she made the life of her children worse.
She voted conservative all this time and she didn't care what they did and who they harmed because she wasn't affected. I feel empathy because she is clearly struggling but it's hard to feel sympathy when how she voted harmed her.
I think the real problem was that she wasn't paying attention. Too many people vote without being informed.
For example: Assorted media have found quite a few people who think Biden is responsible for anti-abortion legislation, just because he was president when Roe v Wade was overturned. They are somehow unaware that it was a long-standing Republican campaign promise, or that Trump appointed the SCOTUS justices who teamed with the Bush justices, or that Trump brags about it, or that Republican state legislatures are taking advantage of it.
So it turns out that when you teach your audience to buy into a nebulous idea of "WOKE" then train them to obsessively search for that in every piece of media they watch, they'll do that even to your own show...who could have thought?
