re: Conan O'Brien not a fan of comedians relying on hate of Trump, instead of actual comedy

Everyone hates on SNL but I think they have a good balance of Trump humor. They usually have James Austin Johnson is his Trump get-up do a hysterical cold open skit mocking whatever Trump did that week, then later Weekend Update will rattle off like 3 or 4 Trump jokes thrn everyone moves on

And how often did they mock Biden and Kamala?

I agree. I think comedians going hard on the political topics is annoying. I don't want to be preached to. Like Chappelle and tranny jokes/commentary. At first it was kind of funny now it's like ok dude I think it's weird too but talk about something else.

Which is exactly what Trump does.

You’re not being serious.
Jimmy lies, unabashedly, to push his agenda & market himself as peak anti Trumper without any ounce of humanity whatsoever.
Somebody told him that Charlie Kirk was pro MAGA, immediately that meant he had to be mocking his death no questions asked.
He continues to lie about Trump taking him off the air.

So, Trump doesn’t say things to incite hate and division in your opinion?

As I said, you're not being serious.
Trump is the President. He sets policy. WTF is Jimmy Kimmel doing other than fanning the flames of hate and disinformation for the sake of pumping up his low ratings.

You don’t think Trump fans any flames of hate? That’s what you’re saying?

You're a broken record.

It's not apples to apples. Why the frick am I even having to explain this to you?
Posted on 1/11/26 at 7:27 pm to SouthEasternKaiju
Yeah, one is a comedian and the other is a President who fans flames of hate and tries to sow division. They’re not the same.

What hate has Trump fanned, other than to the enemies of the USA?

None of these TDS comedians are funny.

Says the guy who mocked Trump and told people to visit Haiti. He helped make this bitter stew.

Dana Carvey and Bush senior could always joke about it together. Newt Gingrich had Chris Farley come do his impression in the House.
Colbert killed that. His in-your-face insults to Dubya at the correspondents dinner taught Republicans never to trust comedians again. I remember as a kid watching Don Rickels joke about Reagan while Reagan laughed in the audience. Because there were limits. Lines that weren’t crossed. All of that is done now. And I don't think its ever coming back.

Conan was good friends with Norm, and Norm made this observation many times - you cant hate the thing you are making jokes about

South Park is currently suffering bigly by doing this
I haven't watched this in several years- but they were just about the last bastion of free thought and nothing was safe- liberals, conservatives, it was all fait game. Did they finally bend the knee?

Not sure if bending the knee is the appropriate label. But they aren't what they once were. This current season is chock full of "Trump is fricking (as in literally sleeping with) Satan and has a tiny dick" scenes over and over, and over....and fricking over. And that's it; that's the joke. There's no nuance to it. There's no cleverness or subtlety to it. It's just showing Trump in bed with Satan and taking off his clothes and having a small dick. That's it.
And they have done it basically every single episode, and it has been the focus of several episodes as well. It's just really weird, almost to the point of fixation and obsession. That's my problem with it. Some people complain that they never once went after Biden or Kamala, and while that's true that's not what bothers me about it. It's just lazy and not funny/ If it was funny I'd be laughing right along with them, but it's not. And I can even try to respect it on some level because it definitely seems intentional (almost like something pissed them off and they are HAMMERING it over and over incessantly). But it makes for boring and unentertaining television.
It also seems like they are very much just mailing it in to meet some sort to episode quotas and their focus is no longer on making it funny/entertaining.
There have been a few things here and there that have been funny, but it's just a weird vibe from the show now. And as someone who has watched religiously since the literal first episode aired, it's disappointing.
