Wow. I've always wondered: what Jiminy Glick would be like if he wasn't funny at all? This video has answered that long-standing question.

OoOoO... ouch, what a stinger. Your youtube criticism skills are beyond reproach.

[Sandydahling]

Lileks is so damn full of himself.  What do you want to bet that he had no idea he was being parodied and made fun of?

[Zoyxx]

I love FLOWERS ! ! ! Do you love FLOWERS ! ! !

Before Ali G there was Dr. Sphincter!

@dalexb98 Thank you for demonstrating my point.

The undeniable fact remains, regardless of your biased opinions, Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most popular, successful comedians in history. But of course the millions of people who enjoy him are wrong, and your opinion trumps theirs because you are liberal, therefore 'enlightened' and 'intellectual'.

Quite typical of liberals, you adopt an elitist attitude, despite your utter lack of accomplishments compared to those whom you are sneering at.

@KafirAlalazoo If Jeff Foxworthy, Drew Carey and Dennis Miller make you laugh, best wishes to you.

@dalexb98 Brad Stine. Jeff Foxworthy. Drew Carey. Nick Di Paolo. Dennis Miller. Brian Regan. Larry Miller. Eric Peterofsky. Bill Engvall. Ron White. Bill Cosby.

All are conservative, all have successful careers... and I have little doubt you will simply say none of them are funny, simply because they do not agree with you.

One thing is certain - they are all more accomplished at their craft than you are at guitar playing, judging by the videos you have posted.

@dalexb98 While conservatives may not agree with George Carlin, Jon Stewart or Lenny Bruce, we are not so up-tight that we cannot find them funny, or laugh at their jokes. However, in typical liberal fashion, you are so up your own ass, you are incapable of being amused by that which does not pander to your liberal views.

To answer your question, which you preemptively decided to answer for yourself (because liberals are always sure they're right):

Andrew Klavan. Evan Sayet. David Steinberg.

Conservatives are a lot of things.

Funny, try as they might, is never one of them.

Name a funny Conservative comedian???? Thats what I thought.

@Zoyxx Thank you! I admit I was a little nervous at first, but as soon as I typed that first letter all the long, hard hours of training just kicked in. You flatter me a little, I think, because I know there's still a lot of ground to cover - still, it is very much appreciated!

I happen to have direct personal knowledge that Lye Lex knows all, specifically, he's "in on the joke".
