Every joke has a victim. That\u2019s the definition of a joke. Someone or something or an idea is made to look ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s right.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Atkinson, star of the new Netflix series \u201cMan vs. Bee,\u201d also deflated the concept of \u201cpunching up,\u201d not down, with humor. It\u2019s a farcical notion given how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/woke-comedy-punching-down-lie\/\">progressives discard it to savage their ideological foes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Atkinson shredded it on different grounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve always got to kick up? Really? What if there\u2019s someone extremely smug, arrogant, aggressive, self-satisfied, who happens to be below in society? They\u2019re not all in houses of parliament or in monarchies. There are lots of extremely smug and self-satisfied people in what would be deemed lower down in society, who also deserve to be pulled up. In a proper free society, you should be allowed to make jokes about absolutely anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schumer should consider Atkinson\u2019s words. She might dub it \u201cmansplaining,\u201d but it could give her new persona its old bite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Amy Schumer we see on screens today isn\u2019t the same comic who entertained us in \u201cTrainwreck.\u201d That 2015 comedy made the New York native a movie star by playing<\/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-1523715","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\/1523715","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=1523715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1523715\/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=1523715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1523715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1523715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
