T<\/span>he long whimpering finish of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/em> last week confirmed a sad truth. Hollywood killed comedy. A century of laughter provoked by comic geniuses \u2014 Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, Fields, Hope, Brooks, Martin, Carrey, and Saturday Night Live<\/em> alumni (Belushi, Aykroyd, Murray, Murphy, Sandler, Ferrell, Myers, Stiller) ended in the first decade of this one. Mirth has either been missing from the screen since 2010 or reduced to conservative man-bashing, as on every late-night show. The latter is questionably rewarded by \u201cclapter,\u201d the former depends on mocking the now unmockable \u2014 to Hollywoke if not the audience.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s no end in sight to the comedy. Next year, Random House is coming out with Connie, a feminist sequel to The Godfather.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The last great comedy film was Tropic Thunder<\/em> in 2008, directed and co-written by the brilliant Ben Stiller, before the Hollywoke Strain broke his mind and spirit. Tropic Thunder<\/em> lampooned everything and everyone, including Asian communist terrorists and Hollywood, with a hilarious Tom Cruise as amoral studio executive Lee Grossman (\u201cI don\u2019t know what kind of pan-Pacific bullshit power play you\u2019re trying to pull here,\u201d Grossman snarls at the commie leader. \u201cBut Asia, Jack, is my territory!\u201d). The gem also features Robert Downey, Jr. in blackface uttering the classic politically incorrect line, \u201cNever go full retard.\u201d Any part of the picture would melt down real studio execs today \u2014 and, sadly, Ben Stiller.<\/p>\n

The highest rated, and funniest, sitcom of the 2010s was Two and a Half Men<\/em>. Every episode featured the hedonistic Charlie Sheen not only enjoying the Male Gaze on a bevy of ridiculously sexy underdressed women but acting on it. \u00a0And viewers of both sexes loved it, making the show number one for the whole decade. The audience for such humor hasn\u2019t disappeared, only the producers of it.<\/p>\n

The Hollywoke Strain is fatal to the comic mind. Will Ferrell, for instance, is responsible for some of the biggest howls and hits of the 00s \u2014 Elf<\/em>, Old School<\/em>, Anchorman<\/em>, Blades of Glory<\/em>, others. His last major film, however, was Will and Harper<\/em>, a documentary about a road trip he took with his ex-SNL<\/em> writer friend Harper Steele after he \u201ccame out\u201d as a trans woman. Mostly groans replaced laughs. Ferrell\u2019s most recent appearance on the Saturday Night Live<\/em> season finale as the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein yukking it up with \u201cold pal\u201d Trump, was cringeworthy.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the once uproarious Jim Carrey never recovered from Trump Derangement Syndrome. He was all over Twitter<\/em> insulting the President during his first term, and composing anti-Trump cartoons. Trump\u2019s 2024 election must have totally broken Carrey. He\u2019s been absent from any screen during the man\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n

But if Hollywood players can no longer provide intentional laughs, they\u2019re inspiring plenty of unintentional ones, so thoroughly have they beclowned themselves with wokeness. And thanks to Elon Musk\u2019s free speech-saving purchase of Twitter<\/em>, formerly blocked movie critics are providing the wit and humor absent from professional entertainment. Take the response to the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow<\/em> trailer showcasing a drunken, depressed superwoman \u2014 not even a superheroine <\/em>\u2014 in Jame Gunn\u2019s latest uncalled for comic-book demystification: Drunk frat girl Supergirl.\u201d\u2014@BobDigi69. \u201cThey took Supergirl \u2026 that bright, hopeful, and pleasant lady, and turned her into yet another brooding, edgelord wearing her trauma on her sleeves, with massive attitude problems, zero charm, and the personality of a rotten wet cardboard\u201d \u2014 @AI_EmeraldApple. \u201cIt\u2019s hilarious that those behind this film sat down and said, \u2018Movies are in dire trouble. We have to bring people back to theaters\u2026 by making Supergirl unattractive and unlikable!\u2019\u201d \u2014 @TheBrokenMap<\/p>\n

More people reposted these comments than will likely go see Supergirl<\/em>. So, once again, like the Keystone Cops, who were intentionally funny, leftwing showbiz rag Variety<\/em> tried to come to the doomed movie\u2019s rescue, via an interview with the titular starlet, \u201c\u2018<\/em>Just F\u2014ing Go for It\u2019: How \u2018Supergirl\u2019 Star Milly Alcock Learned to Ignore the Trolls and Became a Punk Rock Superhero.\u201d<\/p>\n

Predictably, and unfortunately for the project, Milly Alcock knew just who to blame for her movie\u2019s imminent failure. It wasn\u2019t screenwriter Ana Nogueira, co-writer of the essay \u201cAn Independent Media Center of One\u2019s Own: A Feminist Alternative to Corporate Media.\u201d That would be silly. It was Christian dads.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s from a lot of people whose profiles have no photo, who are burner accounts,\u201d Alcock said of the commentary. \u201cOr someone\u2019s name and then \u2018Dad of four, Christian,\u2019 which is hilarious to me. But I mean, whose opinion do you really care about? If you\u2019re pissing the right kind of people off, you\u2019re doing OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because in the Hollywoke bubble, Christian dads wishing to take their daughters \u2014 no average boy wants to watch Supergirl <\/em>\u2014 to see a positive role model instead of an unglamorous burnout are the wrong kind of people with ignorable opinions. The Industry\u2019s woke intransigence is no longer annoying, now it\u2019s amusing. You can almost see the in-crowd tossing the banana peel they themselves are going to slip on, and wreck their habitat.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s no end in sight to the comedy. Next year, Random House is coming out with Connie<\/em>, a feminist sequel to The Godfather<\/em>. It will feature Connie Corleone, Don Vito\u2019s daughter and Michael\u2019s sister, with a movie already in the works. From Random House: \u201cConnie is a novel about how a woman works to forge her own way in a world that\u2019s already decided who she is, what she\u2019s about, and how she should be treated.\u201d<\/p>\n

If The Godfather<\/em> book and film are any indication, we know how she gets treated by her husband, Carlo. Maybe in the new story, she beats him<\/em> up. Now that would be funny.<\/p>\n
