Thomas's Reviews > That's Not Funny: How the Right Makes Comedy Work for Them

A fascinating and often humorous tour of the right wing comedy complex. This books two main points are 1. Conservative comedy exists and it is funny to conservatives, and 2. Liberals need to start taking their own comedy more seriously unless they want comedy writ large to be overtaken by hateful conservative comedy in the near future.

These points are proven by taking the reader through right wing comedy from Fox News down to the depths of Nazi podcasts. An excellent case is made for the need to understand how these jokes are funny to conservatives and the role that humor plays in unifying the right and funneling people further and further into extremist beliefs.
