I’m extremely concerned about the intensively arrogant and privileged Anti Woke edgelord chud comedy on YouTube like with Babylon Bee, Steven Crowder, Hodgetwins .etc
I am now looking for recommendations of some hilarious left leaning and woke vibed joke tellers and comedy groups on the platform in the same vibes as South Park, The Onion, Colbert Report, Chelsea Handler, WKUK, Sir Pelo .etc
So far I got it down with just Wizards With Guns, Mrs Betty Powers, Penguinz0, Chazington, Funkyfrogbait, and Contrapoints. Any other suggestions to try out
Not explicitly YouTube, but anything by Dropout.tv. They used to be CollegeHumor and have transcended the humor and format of the old YT days and have created their own streaming service with incredible original content. Here’s a clip of famous Dungeon Master Brennan Lee Mulligan “defending” everyone’s favorite space pedophile.
Much of their humor is general improv comedy but there’s plenty of leftism thrown in. They’re rad.
ETA: For context, the clip I linked, the game is that the 3 players offstage are attempting to play a bingo game using the players on stage, by giving them “prompts” (i.e., “Go on Instagram Live and defend Elon Musk”) to make them say words and phrases that they say often. Brennan often complains about capitalism and billionaires, so Mike Trapp is trying to get Brennan to do just that. Hilarity ensues.
Maaaaan, I loved dropout.tv! I was really bummed about the cop show cameo stuff though. it was hard to stop watching but I just don’t support shilling for the police in any capacity. Great group of talented entertainers though.
…The Rookie is copaganda? lol I don’t think Dropout are shills for police, given how left-leaning they openly are. Seems like an overreaction.
I came here to say exactly this
The onion now owns Alex Jones Info wars, and is hosted by Tim Heidecker who does a pretty good Alex jones voice, and Jim Haggerty who has this conspiracy laced spin off show named after himself. Worth checking out if you’re a fan of the onion humor.
They are KILLING it. I honestly think the whole situation might be the funniest thing that ever happened
Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik
Dude’s not even overtly far left. He just takes the piss out of people who happen to be stupid in a particular fashion
Back in 2016 he mag-dumped on the Clinton campaign and said something to the effect of “I suppose this has many of you wondering where my loyalties lie. I’m just going say that’s how I prefer it”
I mean, a lot of the long form YouTubers are anti fascist in their stances but that’s not all they cover
Hbomberguy, folding ideas, etc
It’s been so long since Hbomb dropped a new video. 😭
PhilosophyTube, Contrapoints, Lindsey Ellis are all ones I would recommend too.
Not sure about the political leanings, but I also really like Sarah Z and Jenny Nicholson for essayists. I also quite liked Cinema Therapy, but that’s more of a reaction channel with a focus on mental health than anything else. Not particularly antifa afaik, but empathy is cool, yo.
Hbomb JUST put out his adobe video on Patreon. It’s SO GOOD!
Yes on all of those other recommendations
It’s so fucking good. It’s one of the best video essays I’ve ever seen ever. I was sad when it was over, and I realized that 4.5 hours went by really quickly.
Sweet! Thanks for letting me know.
I"m not sure how much stuff out there counts as far left to you, but Doobus Goobus is very funny, and generally seems to come down on the right side of things.
You might be familiar with “States rights to do what???”
The channel looks good. Never heard of him, thanks!
Make sure to turn on captions!
Man Carrying Thing. ThePlantSlant123/Liam.
Both are great. Man Carrying Thing does long form about books and short form sketches about pop culture and politics.
I also quite like SellswordArts, while not inherently political, are at least woke and support LGBTQ+? To go along with that we have some other short-form content creators that worked on MinMaxed (their D&D podcast), which I haven’t personally listened to, but has solid reviews. Blumineck and Bensai are the other ones that I regularly watch. Not much of their long form content, however.
RamaLauw They’r on shorts, reels and tiktok and do very fun and somewhat cringe commercials about things that are normalize but shouldn’t be.
Nathan_ing is also on tiktok and shorts and they poke fun at alpha bros and promote equality with their duets.
If you speak german and are on tiktok I’d also recommend cecinha.030, she does this character where she acts like a toxic alpha bro but as a woman.
+1 for Well There’s Your Problem
From the Trash Future/Lions Led By Donkeys/Kill James Bond group of folks, extremely leftist and dark comedy takes on engineering disasters, with slides
Wizards With Guns and Almost Friday TV are the two funniest sketch channels on YouTube imo
You might like Adam Conover. He mostly does interviews on his show called Factually, but he is a comedian by trade so it has that vibe.
I really like him as a person, and agree with nearly everything he says/does. I just don’t find him funny. I really want, but just don’t
The old Cracked crew has broken off into a few different factions. Some More News and Small Beans are pretty lefty comedy.
Josh Johnson is the least dark man on the platform. Also an all timer in the making though…
thats_a_bad_idea on YouTube is a great one!
I wouldn’t call “Far” as its just people using arguments based on facts
