What’s the point of satire if it can’t keep up with how bizarre reality has become?
Satire right now is funny when it’s normal.
LOOK, A DAY WITH NO NEWS, HOW FUNNY
I recognize that that type of comment is supposed to be a joke (and I’ll react accordingly, because I’m not a buzzkill), but it absolutely isn’t actually funny (ha-ha) for me.
Oh definitely. But it’s hard to be funny at all right now. Because “ice murders entire retirement home” is too believable in the same way that “rental cars full of ice agents visit retirement home and does good deeds all day and nothing terrible happens” isn’t.
Couldn’t they just animate literally any white house press conference and call it a day?
Yes. The show has been writing itself since 2016.
It’s kinda been writing itself from the very start. There are always enough weird, funny and fucked up things going on to make episodes about. I think it’s just harder now because of how quickly everything happens and how much there is to choose from.
It’s the same sentiment with The Onion and Black Mirror. Having to take a step back because reality is too absurd
