Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of people who claim they're political comedians are just comedians who have opinions. But they stop being funny the minute they give their opinions.
I guess ultimately a lot of comedians just wanna be taken seriously.
It's up to comedians to shine the light on what's wrong in the world, and we don't want things swept under the rug.
As far as I can tell, comedians are pretty serious people, and that's why they make fun of things all of the time.
All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world.
Well, a lot of politics is communicating with people, and obviously comedy has something to do with that. I've been a producer and led people. Also, being a comedian, you're under pressure.
With comedy, the jokes will come out, and people will see them coming. Changes in daily life or current events can change the consciousness of audiences and can make the show less funny or feel more stale.
Politicians have such large egos that it usually takes them an inordinately long time to grasp when they've become a pathetic joke.
I think comedians have a function in society, which is to make fun of our icons.
Politics is developing more comedians than radio ever did.
