HOLLYWOOD – With his Netflix comedy film Unfrosted debuting to abysmal reviews, 70-year-old comedian Jerry Seinfeld blames the failure on “extreme left, and PC college campus audiences”, unlike in his heyday, when the teenage girls he dated were fans of his comedy.

What does “woke” even mean in this context?
It seems to have turned into boomer slang for “social oopinions I don’t understand”.
Woke is when girl or gay or black or fire hydrants or any number of other things that conservatives hate that I’m not going to elaborate on.
And the less (see list above) it is, the more funny it is.
…fundamentally it’s just an assertive paradigm shift toward empathy and compassion…
Humorless yes, but not braindead junk, it’s almost the opposite of being braindead.
People out there like “Okay but if you think about it isn’t taking the red pill humorless and braindead”
“Woke” is humorless because it’s not trying to be funny. It’s just being considered for other people. I’ve don’t think I’ve ever seen something being sold as a “woke comedy night”.
The things I’ve seen sold as “conservative comedy” is just some authority figure confidently and smugly confirming the audience’s preconceived notions. Real humor sets up an expectation, then subverts it.
“What’s the deal with inequality?”
We hate woke but we hate sleepy joe too.
Are we ever happy?
