Why Conservative Comedy Doesn't Work: Mr. Birchum Review

I take on the Daily Wire's newest adult cartoon (for conservatives). And from an entertainment perspective, it just ain't very good. Right wing big-wigs like Ben Shapiro have finally teamed up to create Adam Corolla's dream vision: a cartoon about an angry shop teacher. Starring a who's who of C-list celebrities, Roseanne Barr, Patrick Warburton, Danny Trejo and more star in this piece of horrific conservative comedy.

@@CorrectsYouwell in Aku’s defence, he can’t risk fighting Jack himself because his sword is the only thing that can kill Aku.

The same can’t be said for Mr. Burcham where we’re supposed to believe that the antagonist holds every social power against this random school teacher just because of “political correctness” which is just such a stupid concept on its own 💀

[@jumpingchicken69]

I think originally Lady Ballers was supposed to be a "documentary" about how easy it was for men to just say they were women and join women's leagues. Of course that delusion ran into the brick wall of reality when no women's league would accept that without a full transition which of course is a long, difficult and expensive process which of course none of the "actor" were willing to do so they basically wound up making a shitty Juwanna Mann ripoff.

[@Tjnovakart]

The jokes are also just written in the most unfunny way possible. The DMV joke could've been marginally funny if it went more like: Bercham: I made those benches recently, and even sold a few. Student: Cool! [runs over to sit on the bench] Ouch! Who would ever pay money for these? Bercham: The DMV. The incompetence of these writers is next level

"Because he's in the teacher's union, he only gets a three day suspension" So, I have several teachers in my family. All the time we hear shit about how teachers get away with all sorts of shit because they're in a union. I don't know if our unions are weak or anything, but all thet ime I hear nonsense about how "Teachers unions protect weak teachers and let them get away with everything". Dude - one of our teachers literally posted a picture of something, and a student's assignment was visible. You could only see it if you zoomed in and looked very VERY closely. They got suspended without pay for a week.

[@jadedheartsz]

it varies on the school distract, in college I had to watch the John Stossel documentary "Stupid in America" which showed that students weren't doing so well in school due to it being very difficult to fire incompetent teachers and there was one point in the doc where they show a LONG list of steps to be taken, there's a thing called "Rubber rooms" where teachers that are deemed too incompetent to teach but can't be fired are forced to stay in a room for eight hours away from kids and they aren't allowed to do anything except sit there.

[@Terestrasz]

@@jadedheartsz Yeah, obviously he should go to my district. Violate the rules or commit an infraction? you're gone. If the District doesn't like you? They'll be following your every move and look for the first infraction. In my sister's first year of teaching? A student took out a sharpie and started marking a kid's neck. When the kid yelled "KNOCK IT OFF", my sister sent the student with the Sharpie to the office for initiating it. Sure enough? She was given a warning - because she "took sides". And for the next few weeks? Administrators who had gone missing for months were suddenly around every corner staring at her. Or the district where my aunt works at. Around the same time that documentary was produced? A student literally pulled out a hunting knife and a teacher grabbed him... and was fired because they "Touched a student". So literally for the next few years? students were running up to teachers and just attacking them - teachers couldn't retaliate and just had to take it. Unless an administrator saw it? There was no proof that it wasn't initiated. -.-; (Administrators? In the school? HA! Good one!) Tenure basically means they need to establish and prove "Just Cause" to fire you. When other places don't have that? Yeah - it's amazingly easy to fire.

I'm not Democratic or Republican but I don't understand what is so bad about calling out injustices in the world or our society. such as racism homophobia or any general bigotry or inequality. its almost like "how dare you try be a decent human being trying to treat everyone else as a valid equal human being."

[@JustSkram]

While I don't have the time to type out a thorough answer to you, I can boil it down to this: Because depending on how far right you go, people believe the racism doesn't exist anymore because the civil rights "ended" racism, gay people are satanic and ruining the atomic family which means less babies and are shoving their "agenda" in everything, and trans people are pdf files who want to groom children. The issue is that due to how concentrated those talking points are through media, it seeps into even casual conservative talking points. It's weird to say but by default if you think any type of person is a valid human than you're already leaning left, at least in regards socially- in this political landscape.

[@ThatTallBrendan]

It's because their value systems don't assign worth to individual expression outside of a preestablished norm. Rather, it's your expression _of_ said norms, that determine your place within a conservative social hierarchy. They don't value 'being themselves' so much as they value being 'normal', and while their definition of 'normal' may often change, who they're willing to _openly decry_ as *abnormal* is entirely dependent on who's surrounding them at the time, and whether or not they feel they hold a majority of power in any given situation. Take the 'the bully', for example. A bully's purpose is to inflict as much suffering as possible, _while retaining_ their place within the social hierarchy. Whether they're called out our caught, doesn't matter, only insofar as they *aren't* held accountable. The more power they have, either through strength in numbers, influence, or other intangibles, the more they understand they can get away with. It's the same with bigots. By calling them out, and refusing to tolerate _even subtle_ implications of hatred, you're forcing them to choose between silent indignation/reflection, or losing their place in the hierarchy. Moreover, they will only sacrifice their place on one ladder if it grants them a higher place on another. It's why we saw such a steep increase in outward expressions of bigotry after they were enabled by a demagogue. America went from being outwardly 'Christian Conservative' to 'Progressive', after the legalization of gay of marriage, however those people didn't go away. They quieted down until they felt the odds were in their favor.

I definitely wanna add something. I think the issue with mr birtchum, and the main thing that seperates it from king of the hill, is that it's made FOR conservatives and not made ABOUT conservatives. King of the hill is so brilliant because its about a conservative guy navigating his way through the modern ages rapid change. And this is a real struggle that conservatives have that I empathize with. Mr birchum is different though. Instead of being a heartfelt story about a conservative man trying to navigate his way through change and other stuff he doesn't understand, it's about proving a point that the writers have and reaffirming the points of the viewers. The other thing is that king of the hill doesn't alianize viewers who disagree with Hank Hill, while mr birchum does. Daily Wire has done exactly what they set out to destroy: making all of their content about spreading political agendas and nothing else.

[@brandonsclips7741]

I get this is just a short form of your comment, but it helps that Hank Hill is a good, nice guy. Even if you don't agree with him, you'd still want to hang out with him. He clearly loves his son and his wife. Mr Birchum is an asshole. If they had made his character at least attempt some level of kindness first and wrote around him being hyper conservative intertwined with being an overall okay guy, it would have maybe could have worked better? Obviously the jokes would have to be funny, but there's nothing likable about guy who goes: " I hate wife and gay and new thing"

[@vercoda9997]

Also, it's totally fine that Hank is an older (not old) more Conservative guy, because Hank - who's far from perfect - is a character capable of change. Hank is often confused (and downright irritated) by many things in life, but ultimately Hank is just another decent, hardworking person, capable of change - even if he has to be nagged into it by Bobby or Peggy etc. Hank *can* change, and ultimately, as a decent person at his core, Hank can at least respect things or people outside his comfort zone. That doesn't mean he's an enthusiastic advocate of things outside his own views, but, mostly, Hank's tolerant at some level of difference. And that's fine; people are nuanced, with many shades of character - Hank doesn't need to be perfect, just somewhat relatable - most people watching King of the Hill could at least make small talk with Hank, sharing a beer by a propane tank. Not so with these Rightwing characters, who don't change, don't show capacity for growth, don't have any purpose other than to trot out malicious, petty views about The Left/Woke Mob/whatever current buzzwords might connect with viewers. It's one thing to use mockery, insults and self-deprecating humour, but quite another if the intent behind such humour is genuinely, actively, deliberately *malicious* in its application. And that's where such rightwing 'comedy' and animation fails - it's genuinely trying to be toxic. Consequently, it fails - such shows struggle to reach any significant domestic audience, and fail completely on the international stage, whereas something like King of the Hill gets picked up and watched around the world for years. At this stage, I almost feel like saying to America's wretched Far Right over there: "How many times have we to teach you this lesson, old man..."

[@ahoythere4]

The thing about conservatives is when they say they don't like when TV/sports/video games/etc 'get political', they really mean 'politics they disagree with'. Look at their reactions whenever an athlete or celebrity says something left leaning, it's always "shut up and dribble" or "who cares what some out of touch celebrity thinks?", but whenever one says something right leaning, conservatives act like they're paragons of wisdom who have seen the one great truth of the world.

​@@brandonsclips7741Its similar to Ron Swanson from the early Parks & Recs episodes. His character was a stereotypical libertarian and a lot of the humour comes from him clashing with progressive society. However, Ron didn't come off as hateful or unlikable, because he was never JUST the stereotype. He had other characteristics and moments that showed a more rounded, humanized character. That builds empathy in the viewer so that even when he is acting in a way they might not agree with politically, they are still emotionally invested and more likely to feel sympathy towards the characte's plight.

Ironically, although comedians are mostly liberal, historically they have always been under fire for saying things that were too problematic for terminally online leftists, so really now don't say you can tell the difference between normal comedy and conservative comedy because you really can't.

Whenever The Daily Wire or Ben Shapiro comes up with a work of fiction, they repeat one mistake. They write all of their characters as mouthpieces for whatever goes on in their brain. I'm pretty left leaning myself, but whenever I write fictional characters, even if they're supposed to live in a fantasy world, then I don't shy away from letting them have their own values, their own identity, separate from my own. More often then not I will go with whatever mindset fits the character most naturally, given their personality and background. I don't like to write them as one dimensional "heroes" or "villains" in regards to how their worldview differs from mine. They're supposed to be just people.... regular, flawed people.... who all have their part to play in the plot and tend to play it in accordance to their own personality. Folks like Ben Shapiro, Adam Carolla and their peers really enjoy doing the opposite: writing is like a therapy session for them in which they make clones of themselves into "the good guys" and (caricatures of) their opposition into "the bad guys" or "the dumb guys". The result is boring characters, who are basically just all alike in how they act and view the world. There's no fun in watching them interact with each other, play off of one another. Also, they don't feel "real", which makes it hard to empathize with them or like them. You can keep telling me that I have to like the protagonist, but if the protagonist comes off as an NPC rather then an actual person, I won't care. When you're focused more on making propaganda then on making a good show, then you'll end up with a pretty terrible show. Luckily.... Once they learn how to be more subtle, they'll become more dangerous and effective.

I mean in left of center media the conservative non-politician characters are usually just shown as like regular people amongst the other characters, such as coworkers etc. The only time there’s a right wing evil villain is typically when they’re depicting an actual powerful person & capitalist, not an average Joe who happens to be right wing/brainwashed.

Towards the end of the season, he begins to realize that maybe he's in the wrong. The next season, he starts seeing a therapist, but gets eventually becomes upset when they give him phony advice, and then becomes absolutely furious, and rightly so, when they begin charging him loads of money because they weren't covered by his insurance anymore. This causes him to feel more disenfranchised, becoming a victim of the greedy corporate healthcare system America has, realizing that the country he's been patriotic for has betrayed him despite his loyalty. Ironically, it was what he needed to be set on the path of becoming a better man and realizing that the "woke sjw liberals" have some decent solutions to his problem. There you go.

See, the thing about King of the Hill is that the ideology of the show really isn’t inherently conservative. While it certainly has a lot of the aesthetics of the conservative movement (meat eating, beer drinking in Texas, a general resistance to change etc.) the show itself is rarely political. The showrunner Mike Judge wasn’t setting out to create a conservative sitcom to trigger the snowflakes like Birchum, he was just setting out to make quality episodes and I think the results speak for themselves.

King of the Hill is comedy about a conservative, but I wouldn't personally call it "conservative comedy."

@@DrMechanoAgreed. I haven’t watched King of the Hill in years, but I’ve watched a lot of commentary videos about it and from what I can tell it seems pretty progressive for its time.

Like, as insensitive and nuts as he still is as a character, he unlearned his homophobia like a champ over the course of a bunch of episodes, even to the point of trying to explain why homophobia doesn't make sense to a really homophobic character, and trying to take him step-by-step through the same realisations he made himself to unlearn it. It didn't work, but it clearly showed how far he's come with it himself. I genuinely love American Dad at this point.

Dang never knew that about him. He was like in the venture bros which is actauly more of a progressive left leaning show. They even had a parody character based on sarah palin and michele bachman named marsha backwoods.

[@HarpsiFizz]

I distinctly remember Adam Corolla hosting "Love Line" with Dr. Drew on the radio, and talking about how annoying Christians were, being cool with trans and gay callers, and that one time when he hung up on Ann Coulter and laughed at her. What the actual Hell?

The kid holding up the radio at 17:58 looks exactly like the crying Statue of Liberty from the Onion editorial cartoons.

[@rs72098]

Well South Park and certain Family Guy seem to have anti-trans segments that far left liberals seem to forget about. Strong Woman definitely shows the insanity of the far left atheists.

[@URFTBOUND4LIFE]

Those shows would be considered "woke" seeing how Roger crossdresses a lot and Peggy actually befriended a drag queen once and Dale's dad is openly gay....

[@Stathio]

​@@isaac6077 Depends on the episode. He's literally just meant to be an opposite of Stan - a 'not American' refugee to the point of not even being from Earth, very non-Christian, extremely not straight or cis, a constant lawbreaker, in hiding from the CIA, etc. etc.- all of these things are direct opposites of Stan's characteristics. And yet, they're clearly friends to the point of him being genuinely considered part of the family. None of them are entirely written as the "good guy" or "bad guy", they're just characters with different dynamics. There's even a full episode acknowledging how he basically gets away with everything because of how likeable he is, so we're obviously not supposed to hate him, even when he know he can be a straight-up monster sometimes. That's just the show's dynamic- it's not trying to say 'this character bad' or 'this character good' like this lazy conservative show is doing. Because it's actually about characters being written in a fun way and putting entertainment first instead of a lazy 'I'm right you're wrong' political message like the show in this video.

[@svenkampen1647]

Isn't it funny that the conseravative main character of the conservative show still behaves the same way as the conservatives parodys of them in other cartoons that conservatives complain about.

[@SpellboundWolf]

If a show isn't funny or good, then I won't laugh at or watch it. The laughtrack doesn't dictate how I react to comedy. I feel a little bad for these people because they failed. I don't even understand what this is supposed to be. It's not colorful, stylized, fun, enjoyable or even silly. I would rather watch nasty Brickleberry because I know that sorry excuse for a show has jokes. Get wrecked, dudes. I just said nasty Brickleberry is worth watching over... whatever this is.

[@DigitalinDaniel]

King of the Hill is the only time a "conservative" show has been funny.

[@alexamerling79]

Anti woke comedy is the same old schtick. "Woke bad. Gay bad. Black bad."

[@nathanielmorey2800]

King of the hill is the most conservative comedy that worked because they knew when to laugh at themselves and didn’t punch down.

[@SteelerFanInRI]

Oh my god; THE GOODE FAMILY did the vegan dog joke 15 YEARS AGO. Imagine being a supposed sitcom and being beaten to the punch by a show that didnt even last a year!

[@patrickwalsh8913]

Also, what's funny about feeding a dog vegan food? Plenty of dogs are on vegan diets and they are healthy. Dogs aren't carnivores

[@matthewcipollastudios]

Pat, I am both a conservative AND an animator myself. Mr. Birchum’s trailer did not impress me and I was pretty embarrassed for Daily Wire. While this might have been a good try at adult animation and comedy, it wasn’t funny and too close-minded. Adult animation is supposed to be offensively and funny. If conservatives want to market better, and do as well with adult animation (like those who made Family Guy and South Park), they need to get edgy and out of their comfort space. I know they can do better.

[@reeseoutburst4157]

3:06 Off topic but it’s so weird seeing “ My Adventures with Superman” and “Fiona and Cake” lumped in here. That has to be a mistake. And shows like “Scavengers Reign” and “Blue Eye Samurai” are legitimately *WORKS OF ART* that everyone should watch.

[@BigK13372]

Like literally half those shows listed shouldn’t be there. Fired On Mars is one of the more unique adult comedies that stand out with its more grounded apeculative fiction premise. Royal Crackers is one of the more unhinged shows that I wouldn’t call generic and have one of the most investive character and world building out of all shows. Unicorn Warriors Eternal is a show made by Genndy Tartakovsky. Nuff said. And Digman is one of the funniest affectionate parodies to Indiana Jones, to the point where it is actually better than the recent film. I think this guy barely did much research when it cones to bad adult animation and just chose random ones. Like the only actual bad ones are Velma and Castlevania Nocturnal Blood (not its predecessor Castlevania which was actually good).

[@AlexKB1111]

8:51 “Mr. Birchum is charged with using systemic student oppression, publicly shaming them and then forcing them to work on his personal property during non-school hours. He literally made them slaves.” Honestly, even with the dialogue trying to make the character sound ridiculous, that sounds like a mostly accurate description of what happened.

[@tonybrown6647]

Honestly I think it's a testament to Velma because these shows are basically kind of the same thing but just opposite ends of the political Spectrum

[@kaoko111]

There's something that i've notice in the... "Comedy" of the daily wire. Look, there's conservatives in mainstream media, there's even conservatives as main characters in very popular adult cartoon shows like King of The Hill and American Dad. Now, for this example in going to use Stan Smith cause is a more over the top character. Stan is like Birchum in the sense that he's a conservative that feels out of place in the modern world and with a not too easy relationship with his family due his ideology, both Stan and Birchum (i guess) do their best to navigate those issues, the difference is this one. Stan is a flawed person, we know that, we know his ideas can de rought, outdated, racist and sometimes even straight out cruel, however Stan still does his best to understand and evolve, sure, sometimes he's so reckless that he literally need a beat up to do so but at the end of the day he does better for his family and himself. Birchum has EXACTLY the same problem that other characters in conservative media, instead of trying to fit or at the very least to understand and be open to a world strange to him he simply dismisses ANYTHING he doesn't like or don't understand. He, by default sees himself as someone who is always correct, rejecting any nuance or lesson that life can give him and the implicit growt of it. Conservative media is a PERFECT reflection of conservative people, never wanting to engage or understand beyond their noses and saying everything they dislike is the work of satan.

That’s bc Hank, while having his set views and beliefs, is fine with other people doing what works for them even if he can’t understand what they’re doing or why/how it works. In a lot of ways he’s one of the healthiest parents in animation that’s not portrayed as literally perfect and it rarely comes down to the fact he’s conservative.

[@Bevtone]

@@gameinsane4718 The ironic factor for me is that Dale gribble is more representative of the modern republican type of neo con whilst Hank would be considered classic or economically liberal or as they say a RINO.

“The main rule of comedy is you punch up, not down” is a fantastically elegant way to put it. It’s why the new trend of comedians taking shots at trans people is both reprehensible and horribly unfunny.
