I grew up in the 60's and 70's. Back then the only requirement for comedy was it had to be funny! I grew up watching some of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Carol Burnett, Bob Hope, Dean Martin and his wonderful roasts, Laugh-In, Copy Cats, The Goonies, Monty Python, the first few years of Saturday Night Live, Bill Cosby, The Young Ones, the king of late night Johnny Carson, and so many, many more. I thought Henny Youngman, Rodney Dangerfield, Buddy Hacket, , Shecky Green, Red Buttons, Jacky Mason, Uncle Milty, Sid Cesar and Imogene Coca. I thank God for the all the great comedy I got to see growing up and for people like you that know what is actually funny! This time we a living through now seriously sucks. This woke mentality seriously sucks. Seriously !!!
Depends what you ascribe to as Jewish. Historically they would not have looked like the people we see in modern media as Jewish. By historically I mean when the Romans ruled the Levant.
If the person doing a critique uses a word like pusillanimous correctly and in the right context you are in for a vicious smackdown. Kudos to the chef.
While having a diverse writers room can be beneficial due to the variety of life experiences being brought to the table, more often than not, these "writers" aren't being hired for their talent but simply for their skin color, gender, and/or sexual preferences first. When that is more important than actual talent, well, we've all seen the results.
I think even more than their diversity they are hiring for alignment of ideas. So while you might have a diversity of skin color you have a single mindset. Makes for boring content.
They're actually being hired on the assumption that those things entail they conform to the politics of the person responsible for hiring them. These people are viewed as tools by an ideologically possessed HR class.
The 'She-Hulk' writer's room was oh-so-diverse, runs right down the ole' DIE checklist (six women, three men, five from minority groups based on episode photo) and yet even starting three years before the series aired look at the crap writing/comedy they turned out. They got the diversity but forgot the funny.
They hope in time they can brainwash enough folk to watch their content by not changing. And the left has enough wealthy people to not let woke die until its achieved its desired effect.
"They got the diversity but forgot the funny" Or the action, or the law. It fails in every conceivable way but appealing to the braindead social media generation of teenage girls.
I"m glad to hear this. This means that there's a lot of room for new people with actual talent. We can get rid of these hacks for good. They'll hire the mediocre writers and the new guys will hire people that are actually funny to write their jokes.
It’s truly a treat when Chato shows us what trail he buries the bodies in cold frozen Canadian tundra. We are witnessing photographic evidence in the making.
@@AQuietNight well he left when he was barely known in the UK. I saw him on the panel show Mock the Week. Back then the show was amazing, seriously funny. Oliver managed one episode. Unfortunately since then, we have had standards come in and it killed Mock the Week stone dead. Had to have a female comedian on every week. What was strange was the show *had* women on all the time, often very funny too. But when it was forced to do this, it was like the women stayed away so they wouldn't be the token woman of the week and the quality wained.
This is really an admission on their part that they are Not comedians, but are simply political activists for the regime. We already knew this, but it is nice to have the guilty parties sign a confession...
They don't feel guilty...they feel lonely and need people to talk about them. They're desperate for attention and have not realized yet that no one cares what they pledge or what they believe.
Forced diversity always leads to less quality. When we hire, promote, and admit those who aren't the most qualified and do so on race, gender, and sexual identity, we all lose.
I agree with your point about basketball. Not nearly diverse enough. We should require every NBA team to have a minimum of 1 Asian, 1 Indian, 1 Middle Easterner, 1 Oceanic, 1 Native American, 2 Latinos, 2 African Americans, and 5 Caucasians. That leaves one roster spot open as an option. That would fairly closely represent American demographics but also with a minimum of one for each major group. Did I forget any? While we're at it, they should also be required to have a minimum of 7 women and 7 men with 1 spot open for any sex or gender, and also a minimum of 2 LGBTQ. Also, 2 Muslims, 2 Hindus, 2 Buddhists, 2 Jews, 4 Christians, and 2 atheists with one open roster slot. Also, a minimum of 7 democrats and 7 republicans. Finally, a minimum of 4 Gen Z, 4 Millennials, 4 Gen X, and 3 Baby Boomers. For diversity's sake, we'll require at least one member of the coaching staff to be a Baby Boomer. That should make it fun. Diversity for the Win! Sorry if I forgot anybody! Come to think of it, I'd probably watch that version of the NBA...

I lasted about half way through his first show. We had the advantage of watching Warner Bros. cartoons from birth to teach us what's funny.
I still remember the first time I saw Eddie Murphy's Delirious. He had me crying with laughter. I can't tell you how often I've watched it now. Me & my friends can quote so much stuff from it. That he was black & we were white made zero difference to us, it was as funny as hell. That's all that matters.
You forgot Eddy Murphy. Raw and Delerious in the 1980s were gigantic specials and Delerious made me cry in laughter. Not even talking about movies or SNL, Eddy was a standup giant while he was doing it.
@@CallMeChato You were clear. I'm just a goi, standing in front of comedian, assuming that you were making a joke about the homophone. My mistake on the misspelling.
I always thought the interview for the position was, "Step up to the mic and be funny". Comedy has to be one of the most open of careers, and I'd hazard to say it's one where most success is driven by talent (there'll always be the Jerry Seinfelds who manage to squeak through the cracks).
Happy New Year to everyone, esp. you, Chato! What does inclusivity and diversity mean any longer? I would equal those to my "live and let" philosophy. I don't tell other people how to live and I stay on my own side of the street. But the Left seems to mean anything other than 'live and let live' = make people feel crazy guilt and give them no confession boxes to confess their sins, is more their style. None of them would be worthy to wash the dishes of the Marx brothers, Bob Hope or Red Skeleton ... There was a comedian ... I can't think of his name. He was black and one of the funnest men, of any race, I ever heard. He was short and stocky and very very funny - found him!! Flip Wilson!! One of his skits circa 1975, was so funny it became a family favorite with us for decades. I think he was on the Smother's brothers show, but I can't even swear to that. I really wish Bill Cosby had behaved himself. He was always great fun. If they ever create a drug to destroy sarcasm I'll be hiding in my bedroom terrified to come out. I'd be dead without my sarcasm.
It's always "we need more diversity!" but never "I shall step down so that other, more diverse voices have a chance to be heard". Pretty telling stuff.
It's up there with the folks who love the idea of reducing the global population but never seem to volunteer themselves or their families for that "necessary" fate of extinction.
For all its problems, I still think it's a great idea. Each of these wokeists could nominate their own replacement, to take over all their contracts, their agent, etc. At least there's a chance, however small, that some of the newbies would be funny.
Happy New Year Paul! Sadly I cannot see comedy ever working with the woke culture. Comedy at its roots, involves poking fun at ideas, concepts, and yes people. The great and late Dave Allen, poked fun at his own culture, Irish Catholic. Sure there were those who were offended, but like today, they are in the minority. However, unlike today, those offended didn’t have an international platform (social media) to soapbox upon. Consequently those offended are tallied much higher in numbers than they really are - and impose their views on the rest of us. Ok rant over … happy 2023! 😆
These people are as funny as a cancer diagnosis. Dave Allen was a sophisticated British Comedian. I loved his show, but I think you were refusing to Steve Allen, a really great performer in early television. He had a cast of A list comedians on his Steve Allen show.
@@rbelf001 No need to apologize at all! (But thanks). Yeah - currently comedians are just not funny… so many greats have left and very few to replace them.
I never liked his show in the 1980s because I thought it was kind of Brady bunch sucky but since then I've come to even appreciate some of these old shows like Friends, (which I also didn't like when it was new). I'd like to see the Cosby Show now because it probably was really funny. Where's the Cosby show now? We're not allowed to see it. All hollywood people are decrepit. I don't watch their stuff because I think they are good people. They are the ones that empowered Weinstein. I don't care about their scandals. I just want to watch the good shows and wish they'd stop virtue signalling.
Pusillanimous. Never heard that word before. I had to look it up. DAMN YOUE CHATO! Making me look words up & increase my vocabulary! Making me do all this work! I need a nap now...and a Twinkie.
I'll take Chappell & Gervais. I'll take Key & Peele. I'll take Bill Burr. But I won't take any of the clowns who push DIE. It's talent that matters, and that's all. EDIT: Trevor Noah has never been funny. I've seen his work. He's just not funny. Same with Amy Schumer.
My uncle gave me some old Redd Foxx albums when I was a teenager (mid 80's) it was the best sex ed I ever got!!! Lmao 🤣 The comedy I've grown up with was always diverse. Maybe I'm lucky to have seen the rise of Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock and oh so many others. I used to love stand up specials on HBO or wherever, but admittedly I don't anymore. Maybe it's an age thing idk. Sending positive Gen X vibes. 😉🖖✌️
Same here. It's not even about race, it's about woke people not willing to hear the truth. Anything they disagree, they want you BANNED! So many comics have stated they'll never visit colleges again.
I find it hard to believe your comedian quest in the wilderness didn't turn up a hilarious sasquatch. Even the word "sasquatch" is is gold, because we know it's onomatopoeia based on the sound they make when they step on someone. So just admit that you found a hirsute humorist to expand the diversity of your writing team.
John Oliver's entire act is to mention something he disapproves of in an incredulous tone of voice. That's it. John Oliver: "Something, something, something" [incredulous tone of voice] followed by audience laughter. He's still way better than the pointless James Corden though.
![LAVROV's interview with Tucker CARLSON 😁 [Parody]](/img/n.gif)
If they pledged to step down to make room for people that are actually funny then I'd say well done.
You beat me to it
It was Patrice O'Neal (RIP) who went on Fox News back in 2007 to warn of the dangers of political correctness.
Where were these comedians? Oh, that's right...Amy Schumer was busy stealing jokes from Patrice.
They're just looking for new relevance...and jobs. Most in the thumbnail have been recently fired as no longer serving the corporate wokia.
It's the opposite. They're subverting potential competition.
Bravo!!!
I have a dream, that some day people will judge comedy by the content of the humor, and not by the diversity of the writers….
Comedy
Movies/TV
Comic books
Novels
Politics

I still remember the first time I saw Eddie Murphy's Delirious. He had me crying with laughter. I can't tell you how often I've watched it now. Me & my friends can quote so much stuff from it. That he was black & we were white made zero difference to us, it was as funny as hell. That's all that matters.
You forgot Eddy Murphy. Raw and Delerious in the 1980s were gigantic specials and Delerious made me cry in laughter. Not even talking about movies or SNL, Eddy was a standup giant while he was doing it.
Eddy was next level. 🤣😂😅laugh till you cry 🥲
Thanks!
I am indebted to you.
Sure! The last (94th) academy award ceremony was an all-black production team. Need I say more??
Can we sign a commitment to get rid of the people who signed the other commitment?
The DIVERSITY™ they want means that three out of four people in that picture will be out of a job. 😆
Not soon enough
Chocolate Gilt. I'm going to love that turn of phrase forever.
I might not have been clear but it's 'gelt' which is Yiddish for gold. In this case gold coins.
@@CallMeChato You were clear. I'm just a goi, standing in front of comedian, assuming that you were making a joke about the homophone. My mistake on the misspelling.
I always thought the interview for the position was, "Step up to the mic and be funny". Comedy has to be one of the most open of careers, and I'd hazard to say it's one where most success is driven by talent (there'll always be the Jerry Seinfelds who manage to squeak through the cracks).
All they're going to do is lock out/chase off the talented writers who will then find success elsewhere.
Thank you for the new word. I will definitely be adding it to my vocabulary 😊 pusillanimous. Love it!❤
Once again, sir, you have stated what we all know and believe. Thank you.
Happy New Year to everyone, esp. you, Chato!
What does inclusivity and diversity mean any longer? I would equal those to my "live and let" philosophy. I don't tell other people how to live and I stay on my own side of the street. But the Left seems to mean anything other than 'live and let live' = make people feel crazy guilt and give them no confession boxes to confess their sins, is more their style.
None of them would be worthy to wash the dishes of the Marx brothers, Bob Hope or Red Skeleton ...
There was a comedian ... I can't think of his name. He was black and one of the funnest men, of any race, I ever heard. He was short and stocky and very very funny - found him!! Flip Wilson!! One of his skits circa 1975, was so funny it became a family favorite with us for decades. I think he was on the Smother's brothers show, but I can't even swear to that. I really wish Bill Cosby had behaved himself. He was always great fun. If they ever create a drug to destroy sarcasm I'll be hiding in my bedroom terrified to come out. I'd be dead without my sarcasm.
Great insights, and enjoyably stated. Thanks
Lol, love how you ware going around in a forest to looking for funny people. That gave me a good laugh and thank you for the fun times!
Less diversity. More INTEGRITY.
A very Happy New Year to you Chato, from the land down under.
It's always "we need more diversity!" but never "I shall step down so that other, more diverse voices have a chance to be heard". Pretty telling stuff.
It's up there with the folks who love the idea of reducing the global population but never seem to volunteer themselves or their families for that "necessary" fate of extinction.
For all its problems, I still think it's a great idea. Each of these wokeists could nominate their own replacement, to take over all their contracts, their agent, etc. At least there's a chance, however small, that some of the newbies would be funny.
just keep re-rolling the unfunny ones until they become funny, like in yahtzee
@@holdingpattern245 An evolutionary process. lol
Wouldn’t be hard to find some diverse people who are funnier than them. Especially with a writers room behind them.
No, if the south park and family guy generation fell this hard, the future generations have no hope without war.
The Writer's Guilt of America...
Happy New Year Paul!
Sadly I cannot see comedy ever working with the woke culture. Comedy at its roots, involves poking fun at ideas, concepts, and yes people. The great and late Dave Allen, poked fun at his own culture, Irish Catholic. Sure there were those who were offended, but like today, they are in the minority. However, unlike today, those offended didn’t have an international platform (social media) to soapbox upon. Consequently those offended are tallied much higher in numbers than they really are - and impose their views on the rest of us.
Ok rant over … happy 2023! 😆
These people are as funny as a cancer diagnosis. Dave Allen was a sophisticated British Comedian. I loved his show, but I think you were refusing to Steve Allen, a really great performer in early television. He had a cast of A list comedians on his Steve Allen show.
@@rbelf001 Hey Richard. No I meant Dave - a brilliant satirist Irish man.
@@RichardT2112 Sorry. I saw him on the BBC. Haven't thought of him in a long time. I agree. Brilliant. Damn, we have lost a lot.
@@rbelf001 No need to apologize at all! (But thanks). Yeah - currently comedians are just not funny… so many greats have left and very few to replace them.
Word of the day- Pusillanimous. Thank you Chato for teaching us new things.
Other than John Oliver do any of them still have shows? I might as well pledge to make my writing room more diverse for all the good that does.
It’s always the people who have already had a chance to make it big that talk about this.
All these comedians are terrible. Where are the risk takers and guys who don't filter out what they are thinking?
Cut off their funding and they'll go away
Love the channel and your insight in the industry.
Female Dane Cook is about the most scathing, but also most appropriate comparison I've ever heard for her.
I’m hoping this means they’ve just resigned.
“…and there was much rejoicing.”
Hey!
Dane Cook wasn't fat!
Thanks for the coherent and logical speech. Subscribed.
Chato went with Bill Cosby over Eddie Murphy, showcasing he DOES in fact understand comedy. 😄
I never liked his show in the 1980s because I thought it was kind of Brady bunch sucky but since then I've come to even appreciate some of these old shows like Friends, (which I also didn't like when it was new). I'd like to see the Cosby Show now because it probably was really funny. Where's the Cosby show now? We're not allowed to see it. All hollywood people are decrepit. I don't watch their stuff because I think they are good people. They are the ones that empowered Weinstein. I don't care about their scandals. I just want to watch the good shows and wish they'd stop virtue signalling.
Pusillanimous. Never heard that word before. I had to look it up. DAMN YOUE CHATO! Making me look words up & increase my vocabulary! Making me do all this work! I need a nap now...and a Twinkie.
I'll take Chappell & Gervais. I'll take Key & Peele. I'll take Bill Burr. But I won't take any of the clowns who push DIE. It's talent that matters, and that's all. EDIT: Trevor Noah has never been funny. I've seen his work. He's just not funny. Same with Amy Schumer.
Key and Peele have been compromised by the woke crowd unfortunately.
About Peele...
From what I've heard from South Africans he was funny and quite edgy before he fucked off to America
"Diversity is just another word for conformity" - Morrissey
My uncle gave me some old Redd Foxx albums when I was a teenager (mid 80's) it was the best sex ed I ever got!!! Lmao 🤣 The comedy I've grown up with was always diverse. Maybe I'm lucky to have seen the rise of Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock and oh so many others. I used to love stand up specials on HBO or wherever, but admittedly I don't anymore. Maybe it's an age thing idk. Sending positive Gen X vibes. 😉🖖✌️
Same here. It's not even about race, it's about woke people not willing to hear the truth. Anything they disagree, they want you BANNED! So many comics have stated they'll never visit colleges again.
Don't forget Flip Wilson. He had his own variety show, 4 seasons, during the 70's. It would run circles around today's "comedy" shows.
@@marsoelflaco5722 Three cheers for Geraldine.
@@rustythecrown9317 Priceless!!!
@@marsoelflaco5722 I remember watching it...
You Are Awesome! Thank You Sir!
I find it hard to believe your comedian quest in the wilderness didn't turn up a hilarious sasquatch. Even the word "sasquatch" is is gold, because we know it's onomatopoeia based on the sound they make when they step on someone. So just admit that you found a hirsute humorist to expand the diversity of your writing team.
Samsquanch is the official canadian smelling of the word...
They have all figured out that in today's environment it is easier to stoke anger than to make people laugh!
John Oliver is pretty funny in my opinion. The other three not so much.
I can't remember anything John Oliver said besides "It's current year."
Oliver just looks funny. Other people write his jokes for him, and his delivery is barely even passable at times.
John Oliver's entire act is to mention something he disapproves of in an incredulous tone of voice. That's it. John Oliver: "Something, something, something" [incredulous tone of voice] followed by audience laughter. He's still way better than the pointless James Corden though.
Instead of pledging these things they need to step down in order for these diversities to show up & take their place ...
Let them do as they please. We can just laugh at them instead of with them.
Signing a stupid pledge is the funniest thing many of them have done in years.
