Not looking to discuss politics. I’m just trying to find the humour in left-wing mainstream comedy.
I’ve tried watching at least 30 movies and as far as I can tell it’s the same two tropes. Someone who is usually smart does something obviously stupid or they are uninformd about something and everyone is shocked that they just don’t get it with a “seriously bro” type of comment. Or the other trope when someone who is super serious becomes upset because someone shocked them with their progressive views with a “yeah that’s how it’s done” type of comment.
What’s funny about that?

It also bears the rare distinction of being canceled by several streaming providers but no leftists.
And off the top of my head, it deals with latent racism, abortion, Israeli treatment of Palestinians, and the trans panic (“shit yeah it’s a hate crime”) before Danny Devito joins.
And everybody’s a machiavellian narcissist?
One of them is the Machiavellian narcissist, the others are all pure evil in their own unique ways. The entire purpose of the show is to showcase bad people being bad in a way that the audience always laughs at, and never with.
If you don’t get it, I understand. It’s immensely crude and defensive and not for everyone. But there’s a reason the people who stuck around to watch it absolutely adore it.
