Elden Ring Moon And Stars also contained an item he named "London Bin Knife" which is a damned funny joke for the 1/8th of a second he left it on screen.
The video style is a bit ADD for my taste - Elden Ring is a bit slower-paced than Doom or Yakuza.
Yeah, it's been pretty much reduced to extremist propaganda passed off as humor, racist and sexist jokes about whites and men that are genuinely hateful unlike crap you'd see in old looney tunes sketches, defamatory bullshit about their enemies, other extremist jokes that revolve around the false premise that their terrorist ideology is true, and PC safe black comedy and toilet humor.
I had a similar conclusion a few days ago when I was rewatching Filthy Frank videos for good ol times sake. According to every blue hair, those videos are "cringe" and "outdated", I should've watched those videos and thought they were bad, but I didn't, those videos are still as funny as I remember them. That's when I had the realization that there aren't any funny youtubers anymore. Almost every youtuber I watch nowadays makes short documentaries or something. I think the last standing youtuber I watch that makes me laugh is JonTron. There might be more but the point is, I don't see anyone even attempting to be funny anymore. That bizarre internet humor people like Frank perfected is pretty much gone.
Ari is jewish and has shared certain views on cultural items such that he is basically dead to me now, and I don't feel nostalgic about laughing with him as a young internet groomable tween either
That's a shame. He's pretty irreverent about his Jewishness and his special is pretty good. Have you seen his series of YouTube videos under "The Amazing Racist" title?
Those were the ones I first knew him for. I don't think it's much of a shame because I have come to genuinely dislike people like him. The alternative is to pine for entertainment from creators who secretly hate me like in the good ol days, instead of openly hating me. I think that's cucked and nowadays I don't blink at writing those people and all their work out of my life forever.
Most of the good atheist youtubers either transitioned into politics if they rejected the regressive left and all their ideas completely, or they went regressive and devolved into christian bashing while promoting general regressive leftist propaganda.
Wow, what a sign of the times, that this dreary and self-absorbed display is what passes for entertainment. We're "subverting and dismantling" ourselves into a state of all-encompassing nihilism.
You're in the middle of The Second Bolshevik Revolution, or the Communist takeover of America. That said, Communists aren't funny - and neither is politics.
I had lots of pro & semi-pro comedian friends in LA back in the day - 90% of them lost their minds in the last 5 years and started focusing on politics, not jokes.
Too bad, but imagine how based the pendulum swing will make stand up after this all over. The Left is ripe for parody.
I checked Doug Stanhope's latest special and came away feeling like the most robust canary in the coalmine is dead from the gasses. The guy has always made a habit of the most tasteless, debauched, degenerate, mean-spirited comedy, but usually tended to do it in a way that was cutting and critical enough that there was a Bill Hicks-like sense of journey and message. I thought the last few years might be a goldmine of fodder for him. Instead there was nothing and he made a point of saying at the start that he was going to steer away from joking about the stuff on everyone's mind, or in other words he was going to keep shit safely pointless and tasteless.
In the special, there was literally just an anecdote of 'I walked into a barbershop full of black guys and was scared - but they were really cool!' type babble, with no real joke in it anywhere. He follows it up by saying 'To any racists out there - I'm not your buddy!', then tries to pretend that his ageist prejudices are as unfashionable as racism is.
This from a guy who jokes about dead kids all the time. 'I'll say the nastiest things about the most defenceless, shit-on people in the world - but please don't think I'm a racist!' Never thought I'd see the day when Doug Stanhope of all people snuck in some virtue signalling. Strong and pathetic Frankie Boyle vibes.
The most I've laughed recently was watching To Be or Not to Be from 1942. And this from a former Stanhope fan.
It's up free on YT. To be fair, in checking up on it just now, it's older than I realised. YT premiere was 2022 so I assumed it was from then, but apparently it first aired on Vimeo and was recorded in May 2020.
Still it means he purposely avoided talking about covid, lockdowns, jan 6th or the US election.
If you're talking about the recommended channels and such that apparently 'everyone' is watching, probably. But everywhere else there's plenty to laugh to.
The problem the mainstream have is not just the restrictions in place which means you can't talk about certain groups or subjects but that they lack introspection. Comedy at its heart requires a bit of introspection, whether that is sympathising with an unfortunate person that slipped on ice or laughing at the bizarre situation like seeing a tractor doing wheelies.
The mainstream doesn't want that, they want good little drones that will close eyes, consume media, give appropriate response, consume more media. Just compare the promoted comedians on Netflix for WHO they are as an identify than the comedians that got there by their name recognition alone.
Oh, NO! Haven't you heard about "Velma", a Scooby-Doo spinoff? Why, it's hilarious! Velma makes jokes about Fred having a small dick! And Fred is a spoiled, egotistical teenager! The hilarity never ends!!
Standup is good. The Rogan stable of comics is hilarious. Louis CK, Bobby Kelly, Shane Gillis are really good. Nick DiPaolo is a riot. Sadly, Joey Diaz has retired from standup and has only a boring podcast now.
I just discovered "Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast." Some very funny moments there.
Movie comedy is pretty much dead except for Louis CK. I am going to watch "Fourth of July" some time this weekend.
For comedy, you have to look at foreign media. Japan, Korea (though Korea is currently undergoing an accelerated pozzing once it was revealed that the former president worshipped Satan with her cabal of witches), Mexico, etc.
There are also funny skits and sketches on Youtube as well.
But anything mainstream in the US must adhere to The Message no matter what.
FWIW, I find Dave Smith's podcast "Part of the Problem" (and 2017 standup special "Libertas", to which there's supposed to be a sequel coming soon) pretty hilarious sometimes. Especially because he's rabidly opposed to what he's dubbed "The covid regime" and would likely be the first in a long line of people waiting to throw the electric chair switch on Fauci.
Also, his cohost Robbie gets even more offensive than he does sometimes. Their live podcast from Chicago comes to mind, wherein Robbie talks about making neighborhoods safer by "getting rid of all the black criminals and cheating whores."
He happily lampoons Republicans and is utterly merciless to Democrats and the woke left.
I kind of like "Gutfeld" on Fox. And the Critical Drinker on Youtube is pretty good. For less political humor I like "Pitch meeting" on Youtube, though that's getting a little boring.
Dave Chappelle's specials shitting on trannies are some of the best comedy specials of all time, and The Closer is one for the fucking history books.
It's dead in the mainstream.
Comedy can still be found on YouTube and other platforms, it's just mostly produced by smaller channels.
Yea, mainstream comedy is dead for sure.
I'm getting my laughs mostly from small producers these days.
Some examples:
This guy does video game "reviews" that ... uh ... well, you just have to experience it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKPYOfZpegc
Flashgitz do funny, edgy cartoons: https://www.youtube.com/c/Flashgitz/videos
This Old Tony does machinist comedy: https://www.youtube.com/@ThisOldTony
This guy does video game cartoon parodies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4O9rMQ-TlU
Video card "reviews": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0frNP0qzxQc
And if you don't mind political skits:
The Bee: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBabylonBee/videos
This guy: https://www.youtube.com/@AwakenWithJP/videos
And this guy: https://www.youtube.com/c/RyanLongcomedy/videos
Lol thank you for that.
The Yakuza 0 'Review' is even better.

Not denying your claim, I'd just really love if you could name me some!
Ryan Long is a good one. He somehow manages to punch sacred cows without triggering Goolag's censors.

Watching the latest JonTron video is easily the highlight of my year....
Check out Ari Shaffir's "the Amazing Racist" https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=amazing+racist
Ari is jewish and has shared certain views on cultural items such that he is basically dead to me now, and I don't feel nostalgic about laughing with him as a young internet groomable tween either

Not until samuil hydenko breaths his last
That troll he did against iDubbz with his crew was fucking amazing.
He can't keep getting away with it!

He avoided talking about January 6th, 2021, and November 5th, 2020, in May 2020?
You're right, I'm totally brainfarting. Name checks out.
Dead and buried.
Comedy these days has devolved into thugs posting youtube videos of them menacing people with knives and then screaming "Just a prank!".
If you're talking about the recommended channels and such that apparently 'everyone' is watching, probably. But everywhere else there's plenty to laugh to.

Then there's writing talent and yeah it's gone downhill in the west REALLY badly. It's easier to just show the difference, here's Forspoken's 'funniest moments' and here's Doom Eternal doing a better job with zero dialogue from the MC. The difference speaks for itself.
Oh, NO! Haven't you heard about "Velma", a Scooby-Doo spinoff? Why, it's hilarious! Velma makes jokes about Fred having a small dick! And Fred is a spoiled, egotistical teenager! The hilarity never ends!!
Norm died and comedy with him. His memoir is utterly brilliant by the way. Never read a book that made me cackle uncontrollably in public like that.
There are some podcasts that are sporadically funny but none match their haydays before 2016 when the world lost its goddamn mind.
Standup is good. The Rogan stable of comics is hilarious. Louis CK, Bobby Kelly, Shane Gillis are really good. Nick DiPaolo is a riot. Sadly, Joey Diaz has retired from standup and has only a boring podcast now.

Movie comedy is pretty much dead except for Louis CK. I am going to watch "Fourth of July" some time this weekend.
I agree that cartoons worth watching are extinct.
Isn't CK the "open all borders" guy on the latest Rogan podcast?
Don't care about his politics. He's funny.
I didn't realize Joey Diaz had retired. Probably because I haven't watched Rogan since Spotify.
Did he retire because of health issues?
I'm not sure. I think he just wants to be a New Jersey family man now and rest on his laurels.
Glove and Boots was so awesome.
Society and culture in general are dead.
For comedy, you have to look at foreign media. Japan, Korea (though Korea is currently undergoing an accelerated pozzing once it was revealed that the former president worshipped Satan with her cabal of witches), Mexico, etc.

The last South Park episode was pretty funny
