Professional comedy has gotten a bit ridiculous IMO
It's strange that it's become such a relevant thing in culture. Some people were good at jokes, impersonations etc. Sometimes you would go to a show or club, or watch a comedy movie - it was just a thing that existed
This whole need to legitimize it into some sacred craft in recent years and politicize it just feels strange. Then the parasocial element kicks in.
There's obviously a business interest in doing this, but it doesn't sit right with me seeing it become something for enthusiasts in this way
