    if the comedy shown in that trailer was the highlights, i think i’ll pass.

    …I mean that they/them joke’s been done so many times there’s a community devoted to spotting them. then it undoes the punch to republicans with the racist joke by saying everyone’s racist, which has also been done/it was a whole Avenue Q number.

    then again i’m dead inside and haven’t been laughing at a lot of comedies these days, so this is probably a me problem. I thought Naked Gun was alright tho.

      There was no punch to Republicans. It’s a defensive line supporting them. “Which I guess means I’m supposed to be racist now” is bullshit language directed at people who call out racism, not an admission of any kind. Both jokes were right-wing jokes.
