While Papa mulled the question, Rogan went on: \u201cIt used to be you would be able to *snap* <em>There\u2019s Something About Mary, Kingpin<\/em>. You just snap \u2019em off.

It\u2019s like wokeness killed the comedy movie in a lot of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Rogan, who is also a comedian, and Papa tossed around some titles \u2014 <em>Step Brothers<\/em> (2008), <em>This Is the End<\/em> (2013), <em>Project X<\/em> (2012)\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo woke people make comedies?\u201d Rogan asked. \u201cIs there a woke comedy movie? Is there even an attempt at a politically correct comedy movie? They just stopped making comedy movies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogan and Papa went on to diagnose what they see as the problem. A comedy that laughs at unapproved behavior is seen as endorsing that behavior, which means anyone who made that comedy would be canceled and blacklisted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re not afraid of whether or not they would have a market,\u201d Rogan explained. \u201cThey would definitely have a market\u201d for non-PC, non-woke comedy. \u201cBut how many people would get canceled because of it?\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Rogan and Tom Papa discuss how Wokeness killed the comedy movie genre. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey murdered the comedy movie\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cziwTDEMrJ\">pic.twitter.com\/cziwTDEMrJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mythinformed MKE (@MythinformedMKE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MythinformedMKE\/status\/1501558438039638016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 9, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Going back to the original question \u2014\u00a0<em>What was the last huge (adult) comedy movie everyone had to see? \u2014\u00a0<\/em>they came up with the correct answer: <em>The Hangover<\/em> all the way back in 2009, 13 whole years ago.<\/p>\n<p>This is something I\u2019ve been writing about for the better part of a decade. Political correctness is the New Production Code\u2014the internal guidelines that censor art. Just like the original Hollywood Production Code did. But at least with the original Production Code, you could work around the restrictions on sex and violence, or anything else forbidden, by using subtlety. Unfortunately, there\u2019s just no workaround for the PC Production Code, and the results have decimated the art of the motion picture, most especially the comedy \u2014 a now-dead genre.<\/p>\n<p>You go back and watch any great comedy, from Abbott and Costello to the Marx Brothers to the Peter Sellers <em>Pink Panther<\/em> movies to the teen movies of the 80s, and none of them could be produced today. Too much ethnic humor (even though it\u2019s all well-intentioned and aimed at everyone), too much girl-chasing, too much that is now considered <em>inappropriate. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Go back and watch Robert Altman\u2019s irreverent masterpiece <em>MASH (1970)<\/em>. If it were made today, Frank Burns would be the hero, and Hawkeye and Trapper John would be portrayed as the sexist villains and predators.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t make a woke comedy because wokesters are the uptight squares, the scolds, the prudes, the bossypants-es, the fascists, the villains, and you can\u2019t rewire human nature. We are programmed to laugh at those people, not side with them. This is why <strong>all<\/strong> woke movies fail. Even if it\u2019s not a comedy, a woke protagonist is unappealing.<\/p>\n<p>Thank heaven for DVD. I own hundreds of comedies that are actually funny, that point and laugh at the uptight squares.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Rogan and his guest, comedian Tom Papa, tried to come up with the name of the \u201clast really good comedy movie\u201d and discovered they couldn\u2019t \u2014 at least not<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1367361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1367361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1367361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1367361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1367361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1367361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1367361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
