It wasn\u2019t created pre-World War II. It was something that was necessary,\u201d said Carolla, host of several popular podcasts including \u201cThe Adam Carolla Show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cancel Culture is similarly spawning rebellious content, from Andrew Schulz\u2019s successful stand-up special \u201cInfamous\u201d to fellow comics using podcasts and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/\">Patreon accounts<\/a> to stave off what Elon Musk famously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/get-woke-go-broke-elon-musk-says-woke-mind-virus-makes-netflix-unwatchable-as-shares-plummet-20\">dubbed<\/a> the \u201cwoke mind virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Schulz\u2019s case, an unnamed platform tried to censor \u201cInfamous,\u201d but he bought the special back at considerable cost. In just days <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/andrew-schulz-infamous-special-investment-return\/\">he had tripled his investment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Andrew Schulz] was created by oppression, and so is The Daily Wire,\u201d said Carolla, who built his own Cancel Culture-proof <a href=\"https:\/\/adamcarolla.com\/\">company<\/a> letting him create content on his own terms.<\/p>\n<p>The woke mindset behind Cancel Culture still leaves its mark on the western world, something Carolla touches on in his latest book. The best-selling author translates his knack for side-splitting improv into \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B09WX9VK8Y\/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0\">Everything Reminds Me of Something: Advice, Answers \u2026 but No Apologies<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His sixth tome reads like his stand-up brand, \u201cAdam Carolla is Unprepared,\u201d in printed form. The book captures his ability to crack wise on the fly, cleverly categorized in chapters like \u201cDon\u2019t Be a Tool\u201d (construction tips), \u201cAuto Correct\u201d (car talk) and \u201cPop Goes the Culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Society takes comedians like Carolla seriously these days, often putting their careers in peril. Comics must think twice before tackling difficult subjects or groups considered off-limits by cultural scolds.<\/p>\n<p>He said a subtle change in how we process humor made that possible, and it\u2019s not a helpful evolution. Not long ago an \u201coff-color\u201d joke might offend someone. Now? Carolla said the same jokes are considered \u201cimpactful and dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe swapped out the word \u2018offended\u2019 for \u2018affected,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cIf your jokes offended somebody they needed to lighten up or not listen. If they\u2019re \u2018affected\u2019 you need to change or be deplatformed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about control, he said, and that\u2019s a problem both for comedy and the culture at large.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we should ever, as a society, try to stifle or reign in the comedians. It\u2019s like trying to tell an inventor what to think about,\u201d he said. \u201cYou want them free to comment on things in our society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraditionally you don\u2019t wanna tell the artist what to paint. Then they become a graphic designer doing logos rather than creating works,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything Reminds Me of Something\u201d finds Carolla lamenting what\u2019s not being shared in the culture today, from sharp-elbow jokes to societal solutions that could \u201ctrigger\u201d the easily offended.<\/p>\n<p>It reads like he\u2019s riffing on stage, signalizing his new book as a departure from past efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Improv comedy comes naturally to Carolla, no matter the media. He credited a knack for thinking on his feet, along with studying his craft and getting enough \u201creps\u201d under his belt on stages across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Old-fashioned pressure helps, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re on stage you don\u2019t get that luxury of saying, \u2018eh, I got nothing,\u2019\u201d he cracked.<\/p>\n<p>Carolla, along with his former \u201cLoveline\u201d radio co-host Dr. Drew Pinsky, have been pummeling mainstream media bias in recent weeks. Carolla suggested the legal system can help bring some accountability to the Fourth Estate. Consider how former Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-covington-catholic-student-nick-sandmann-gets-settlement-from-cnn-after-275-million-lawsuit\">took major news outlets like CNN to court<\/a> after they defamed him over a January 2019 confrontation on the National Mall.<\/p>\n<p>Carolla added the public should resist Fake News accounts whenever possible. Or, to use the Left\u2019s parlance, it\u2019s time for some resistance.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a policy he used regarding what he saw as unnecessary mask mandates in the age of COVID. He said he constantly defied mask restrictions on flights, forcing airline personnel to insist he mask up over and again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was told an average of 37 times on a two-hour flight [to put my mask back on], 18 times before we left,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what everyone needs to do. It\u2019s a metaphor for where we are right now\u2026release your own stuff, push back. It\u2019ll go away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carolla\u2019s new book reminds audiences of his strict policy when it comes to comedy. No apologies\u2026ever.<\/p>\n<p>That isn\u2019t the case with his Hollywood peers, even the uber-rich and famous like Stephen King and Scarlett Johansson. Both A-listers got thwacked by the Cancel Culture mob and quickly apologized.<\/p>\n<p>King backpedaled after saying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/stephen-king-goes-ultra-woke-after-sjws-scold-him-for-anti-diversity-comments-oscars-rigged-in-favor-of-the-white-folks\">artistic quality should trump diversity<\/a>. Johansson quit a movie about a trans man when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/johansson-surrenders-pulls-out-playing-transgender-ben-shapiro\">far-Left voices insisted only a trans performer take the part<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Carolla doesn\u2019t mince words about those types of high-profile cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re cowards. They don\u2019t have the faith of their convictions,\u201d he said, adding as rich and famous as they may be they\u2019re still beholden to others. \u201cThey have parent companies, like Disney or Marvel, Pixar or publishing houses.
