HOLLYWOOD – With his Netflix comedy film Unfrosted debuting to abysmal reviews, 70-year-old comedian Jerry Seinfeld blames the failure on “extreme left, and PC college campus audiences”, unlike in his heyday, when the teenage girls he dated were fans of his comedy.

"Woke" is humorless because it's not trying to be funny. It's just being considered for other people. I've don't think I've ever seen something being sold as a "woke comedy night".

The things I've seen sold as "conservative comedy" is just some authority figure confidently and smugly confirming the audience's preconceived notions. Real humor sets up an expectation, then subverts it.
