Comedy
You've heard pretty much every joke there is to tell about the 45th president of the United States, but we decided to explore what's so funny about Donald John Trump anyway. And a lot of it has to do with how people perceive him, his actions, and the jokes comedians tell about him. Cincinnati comedian Blake Hammond joins David and Gheramy for our most politically charged episode yet, but when it comes to comedy, there's more nuance than just red and blue, which is such a simple-minded way of viewing the world. In this episode, not only do we break down Blake's hilarious Donald Trump-inspired bit, but we talk about: -How liberal and conservative audiences respond / -How you can flip an audience's perspective during a joke with the right amount of craftsmanship / -Coming up with jokes in natural conversation / -The BIG difference between joking about Trump and Obama / -Telling political jokes on Twitter vs. onstage / -Jim Gaffigan breaking character and letting loose on Trump / -The Michael Jackson popcorn GIF / -Liberal hate / -The pitfalls of binary thinking / -How Gheramy isn't actually white / -Shane Gillis' brilliant bit on why Trump is such a funny dude / -How Trump supporters would hate him if he were their boss / -Why Sarah Cooper's Trump TikToks took off / -What the people who made their whole persona "anti-Trump" will do once he's not president / -Connecting a Trump joke with extreme Trump supporters / -The startling lack of self-awareness in the world / -And more!
