I think ppl who do satire need to stop doing it when they hit it big otherwise they turn into “truth tellers” and that’s the most obnoxious type of comedy
I more blame popcorn munching audiences for laughing when an unfunny old male comedian repeats a pronouns joke for the umpteenth time like have some fucking standards
If someone is funny you just gotta keep em broke. Satirists go after whoever is across the line from them. As soon as poor, maligned people become the outgroup instead of the in group, they’re a target
“Ok we’ll pay you $10k for 30 min- oh wait you’re a satirist? You’ll do it for a free appetizer.”
