i miss when political jokes were attempts at humor, instead of thinly veiled political attacks disguised as attempts at humor

we always had the political cartoons and shit, but these days even most political memes are just thinly veiled attacks

mike pence shooting lightning from his hands is possibly the only pure meme this election cycle

I loved the dahnald ted cruz meme

Jeb and Guac Bowl memes are best

ok jeb memes are pretty 👌🏻 i forgot about those

Did Colbert used to actually be funny or was I just a dumb high schooler?

little of column a....

i got messages form people who think im actually trying to start a green revolution with the bike lock shirts

yes

Lol

i've been wondering about that, have you been saying that just as a joke or is it because you're concerned it could get you in trouble for "advocating violence"?

Yeah I could definitely see people taking it as unironic

humor is violence at this point

He says it as a joke because if he talks about what it really is he could get a guideline strike (maybe).

you should sell those shirts in münster, germany 😄

lots of comics have just plain stopped being funny

you mean good

Can we just replace the hammer and sickle with a bike lock and fire cracker yet?

Humor is racist now.

It's so weird to see all the comics defending censorship

Part of the problem is that comics are afraid of sparking controversy

In olden days it was normal

Not anymore

Just look at monty pythons life of brian

That was savage

No way they could release it now

Can we just give the religious right some soft power back?

Wait are you for real tim

How can people be that out of the loop

:thrinkjkL:

At least they could just be laughed away when they called Pokemon satanic

Pokemon is satanic: Change my mind

There is no satan in the world of Pokemon. Pokemon is Arceic

Life of brian could be released today no problem. Now if they chose another religion go make fun of...

*cough*

They were making fun of everyone tbh

You're talking about Zoroastrism right

I was talking about pastafarianism, obviously

Those guys are all extremists
