A place to share and discuss stories from The Onion, Clickhole, and other satire.
Great Satire Writing:
I used to love Dave Chappelle. He gave a huge fuck you to the establishment back in the day, and deserved credit for that. He was punching up.
But he decided it bothered him that trans issues got the spotlight, and that he wanted to punch down. Ok: fair play. Yell some jokes.
But then the jokes suck. They're not insightful. They're not full of commentary. They don't highlight dissonance on people's words or actions.
And if you're punching down and aren't funny, you're not a comedian... you're just an asshole
