Take that, Republicans! Hehe.

Liberal humor is almost as bad as when Donald Trump talks about committing genocide against Hispanics, Latinos and Latinas. I swear that guy's hair looks like it has a life of its own. Do you think maybe the hair is the real guy and the body is just a puppet? I'll tell you one thing, if he gets elected then Bill Maher is sure gonna have a lot to talk about. I might convince some of my Republican friends to vote for him just so he loses to Hillary. Hehehe.

History of Liberal Humor

It is believed that liberal humor has been around as long as there have been snarky overeducated people with an underdeveloped wit. Hey, that's a pretty fair and balanced view of the subject, don't you think? Heh heh.

Modern liberal humor began in the 1970s, or the 70s as I'm fond of calling them, when Saturday Night Live began airing and "Tricky Dick" Nixon proved to be a crook, which had already been obvious to many of us. What clued me in, I think, was the R next to his name. Hehehe. He had a pretty nervous, awkward manner about him, which led me to believe he might not have been raised in the highest of societies, unlike George W. Bush, who got pretty high in his societies, if you know what I mean. I agreed with Tricky Dick when he said our country shouldn't be taken over by freaks, and that's why I voted against him.

The 80s, or the Dark Ages as I like to call them, were only survivable because of the comedy routines of Ronald Reagan. He was such a comedian, let me tell you. He believed in trickle-down economics, as if anyone is just going to give their money away without taxes. Personally the only person my money ever trickles down to is my accountant. Another funny guy back then was George Carlin. He was a little extreme and I didn't agree with everything he said, but boy was he funny. I can't believe he got away with saying the things he said under a fascist regime like the Reagan Misadministration (it takes a certain level of intelligence to get that one). I like to think of myself as the George Carlin of my group of liberal friends. Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits! Heh heh. I break that one out whenever there's an awkward moment and I've had a couple glasses of wine, which mixes really bad with my medicine. I swear this stuff gets me higher than the grass I smoked once when I was at college. But I totally inhaled, let me tell you that much! Hehe.

Then in the 90s Bill Clinton became the President, which coincided with the rise of Rush Blimpbaugh, a big fat idiot who was on the radio every day telling poor people it was poor people's fault they were poor. Oh boy, we used to tell the funniest jokes about Rush down at the club. One time our server got mad because she was a larger individual and didn't like our jokes about Rush's weight, so we all got very quiet, apologized and I tipped her 18% just to show how much I cared. I hope she knew that it wasn't Rush's weight we were making fun of, just his beliefs. It was his beliefs that made him a big fat idiot.

So then Clinton had an affair, which is honestly not that big of a deal. I mean I personally am on my fourth wife, but that Hillary, she's something else. She stuck by him even after knowing he had cheated! If I could find a woman that faithful, I would never need to pay some (looks both ways and lowers voice) scheister, to write me a pre-nup. But the Anti-oral Minority (get it?) was pretty upset about this, and it ended up leading to George W. Bush almost winning the next election. He actually lost it to Al Gore, but used all his money and privilege to get the Supreme Court to declare him Emperor. Oh no, sorry, President. Hehehe.

At this point Jon Stewart started getting big, and let me tell you, it was like a Renaissance in liberal humor. Just like George Carlin he said the word "fuck" a lot, except it was always bleeped out because of conservative censors. And he was a person of the Jewish persuasion, and I personally don't think there is anything wrong with that. Israel is the only country in the Middle East that has liberals, so we ought to support them. A little while later Stephen Colbert came along, and there has never been a better parody of the GOP. If I hadn't seen him on The Daily Show I would have mistaken him for the real thing! You really couldn't do that sort of thing with liberals, let me tell you.

Pretty soon Republicans got so crazy that they just started parodying themselves, and we didn't need any more humor. It was enough to just say "Republican", "George Bush" or "Donald Trump's hair" to get a roomful of liberals roaring in laughter. This seemed to coincide with the rise of Family Guy, whose humor relies entirely on this premise.

Characteristics

The main thing that sets liberal humor apart from non-liberal humor is timelessness. For example, a lot of critics claim that this article will be dated in two years, if not sooner, but nothing could be further from the truth. Tricky Dick has been dead for 20 years now, and most of the jokes about him are still just as funny as they were in the 70s. And I've been telling the same jokes about George W. Bush's simian features since the year 2000, and they haven't gotten any duller.

Aside from timelessness, liberal humor involves a lot of really clever puns. For example, I like to call the GOP Gross Old Politicians, because that's what they are, and their acronym also happens to be GOP. And you know what I call conservative Christians? Well, that depends. If they happen to be African-American, Hispanic-American, Latino-American or Latina-American, then I'm not going to touch that one. In fact, I really shouldn't joke about people's sincerely-held beliefs. Sorry.

A third characteristic of liberal humor is how politically incorrect it is. I don't mean politically incorrect the way Republicans use the term; they're just using it to cover up racism, misogyny and homophobia. I mean politically incorrect in the sense of calling Ann Coulter a tranny, Chris Christie a fatass and Glenn Beck a retard. You know, the good kind. It is very important to be just edgy enough that your jokes will not be funny in ten years, but not so edgy that they arouse complaints from minorities who are currently recognized. In fact, I should probably retire that tranny joke by the end of the year.
