Forget about comedy. We are in tragedy mode, full stop.
Enough sarcasm and cynicism and whiny woke comedy club horse manure.
Let loose the dogs of war.
Pax.
Sarc off.
Really, I have listened to so called comedians these days. First, there are way too many of them, and most are mediocre and unfunny in a politically correct way. Second, things are beyond funny. Third, the so called comedians need to get jobs rather than using their mental issues as an excuse to be unfunny on the CBC and other stupid Canadian venues.
The days of something like this:

appear to be gone forever. It’s a style of comedy that doesn’t insult the intelligence of the audience and doesn’t resort to being crude or smutty.
The late Clyde Gilmour used to play a bit of comedy on his CBC show Gilmour’s Albums, including a number of stand-up sketches by Bob Newhart. Here’s an example of his style of humour:

He relies on the audience’s imaginations to fill in details.
Many today think that character assassination is humour.
Comedy requires self awareness.
The current culture needs no humour,these idiots are beyond parody.
When ignorance is absolute,parody is impossible.
Our “highly educated” citizens are not even conscious of what they have thrown away and surrendered.
Humour means the ability to laugh at yourself,when you are completely wrapped up in yourself,there is nothing funny about you…Or so you believe.
Of course if the current Cancel Culture,Wokeness and Witch Trials do not have you laughing your ass off,you might lack any sense of humour.
Karma,in living colour.
Watch “George Carlin on Soft Language”

If George was still around today he’d really make hay with the junk we have to put up with now!
My current favourite: Brian Regan
He’s Seinfeld’s favourite too.
He’s unhip. Square even.
Non-edgy. Not “brave”. 100% apolitical.
Looks more like an amateur athlete than a comedian.
He’s squeaky clean (category: dry bar comedy). Children can watch.
Subject: Conversational one-upmanship narcissism.

Bob Newhart:
Stop it.
