These films are made with the makers stoned.

Weed. Powerful weed now and movies are less funny.

No. You can't be funny unless you are "woke" and the only way to be "woke" is to make jokes about President Trump. But these jokes can't be funny either. They need to be smug and drenched with spittle and rage.

The Left has killed comedy, not weed.

>>The Left has killed comedy, not weed.

(a) there are a hundred years worth of films to watch (going back to comedy from Keaton and Chaplin)
(b) there are still new non-theatrical (or niche theater) releases that can be streamed legally online for FREE via tubitv and kanopy.com; there is a lot of looney lib product in each, but not exclusively including in the documentary categories
(c) even without streaming if you attach a digital receiver to a tv, you can watch older movies (1940s-1990s) on channels like Movies! for free (with commercials)
(d) even youtube has complete movies from around the world

plenty of sources, plenty of options. Not everything old or new has CGI or gutter gags.

but the left hasn’t be very funny for a long time. Some comics would keep their politics in check and make broader remarks or be equal opportunity offenders attacking any President in office. And that goes back to the days of Nixon. I don’t see a lot of LBJ jokes with the same venom that Nixon faced on day one (or even as president elect).
