Can conservatives actually be funny?
I mean, with the exception of "Prickly City," their comic strips have all the "humor" of "Mallard Fillmore."

Seems there's this ditwit who tries to be "funny" by stereotyping "the liberals."

8. It broke my heart when I found that out.
But it says a lot about him that I would have never guessed it from his time on MST3K. He certainly kept his politics out of that show.

12. I was upset at first
but then I thought, "ah, fuck it, he's funny" and it hasn't bothered me since.

I only need 20 more episodes to have them all, and that includes the k eps from MST3K's Minnisota PBS days

9. Not only are those comics unfunny, they don't even make sense
They're just plain stupid.

11. One of my best friends is a libertarian and also a stand-up comic

He's hysterical. Politics don't determine whether you're funny or not. Humor is far too complex to be simplistically boiled down to just one of it's components.
