I forgot how much comedy goes down hill when trump becomes president. All the sudden shouting “Orange man bad” and “fuck trump” is considered peak comedy. I’m not a funny person and I could write these headlines and get a job I guess.
“Darth Vader appointed head of youngling education”
“OJ Simpson appointed head of domestic violence policy”
“Joker appointed head of mental health”
“Epstein appointed head of taking down human trafficking”
“Sauron appointed head of magical ring making”
"Anti vaxxer appointed head of healthcare"
It's not easy to make parody when actual reality is dumber than exaggerated jokes.
