Professional Comedian Reacts To Jim Breuer's 'Comedy'

Comedian Andy Kindler reacts to Jim Bruer’s anti-vax performance on the ReAwaken America Tour, in which he impersonates a Cockatoo before claiming in an interview that comedy is the only thing that heals. Kindler and the Majority Report crew discuss this and decide Breuer's brand of comedy is not medicine and definitely can't inoculate you from getting a virus.

[@ProfDCoy]

Tbh, I had a lot more respect for comedy as an art form until the last few years. But then I noticed that comedy is the art form most packed full of practitioners who refuse to take responsibility for what they say with their art. "Comedy is art mannnn! It SAYS stuff!" Until you criticise what it says and then "It's just a joke man, stop being such an entitled snowflake!" Comedy really is an art form that deserves some space to be subversive, but for fuck's sake, I've never seen an art form so full of manbabies and class clowns who never grew up. Every other art form has a long and laudable (but difficult and mixed) history of coming to terms with what it has said and how it should improve. Only comedy wants to be art without accepting any of the responsibility. Your form can be meaningful art or it can be meaningless bullshit, but it can't be both just coz you want to have your cake and eat it.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

Brewer is the quintessential modern conservative comedian in this piece. He’s just mixing all the vitriol that makes the political right so angry with unfunny physical comedy. There is literally no original thought or especially thought-provoking commentary.

[@TWFarr]

It really is a masterclass in conservative "comedy"

[@sunshynff]

He was never a brilliant comic, but he had a pretty solid act back in the day, and he seemed comfortable making a living doing the stand up circuit, which paid decent with his SNL credentials. I really respected that he cared for his father, with several age related health and cognitive issues, to the extent he did the last 5-6yrs of his life, and was open about the challenges of elder care, as in bathing, helping during bathroom mishaps, and taking him on tour with all those concerns. Pretty sure his dad would kick his ass for selling out so hard, just because he saw his name trending after a Rogan interview. I'm almost more disappointed as a lover of all things comedy, especially stand up, and how hacky his act is now, than I am about his verbal diarrhea.

[@dasithsilva8705]

Thats pretty awesome of him to take care of his dad like that. I guess every person has a good and a bad side. If he wasn't anti vax, he wouldn't even have a bad side. He definitely does a lot of harm by being anti covid vax.

theres a book on this "A Conservative Walks Into a Bar: The Politics of Political Humor" and how comedy usually has a liberal or left bias. and its because comedy is funny when it punches up and not punches down. when it attacks power and not the marginalized.

My favorite part is 9:23. They're in the audience. In some sort of theater. The entire audience is facing one direction. Everyone is looking at the same thing. You can't exactly miss it. The entire theater is structured around the fact that the audience is meant to look at the stage. Yet this woman feels the need to point at the cockatoo meltdown while she's laughing, like "hahahaha look at this thing I'm laughing it. That thing over there, under the bright lights and on that large, raised open area, the thing that all of our seats are facing, I'm laughing at that. Look at it, I'll point to it, over there!"
