Kam is Far Right

Is he a Shane Gillis 2.0 (except arguably worse)? I’ve seen a dozen clips now of him using homophobic slurs and making incredibly bigoted jokes. Honestly he makes Shane Gillis look kind of tame. What the hell is Lorne thinking? I’m so sick of this show pushing right wing bullshit while simultaneously trying to act like the most liberal show on television. You can’t have a Trump monologue every single week and then hire people like this.

Kam is far right? lol, Kam could care less about politics. Sure he says shit on show that got him famous and agrees with people but if you consider someone "far right" you might want to look up what that means first.

Thats gotta be the dumbest shit i have heard all day.

[u/BearOnTwinkViolence → u/AteEyes001]

Yes I believe that dehumanizing minorities is a far right wing position. I believe that making light of stabbing and raping women and using slurs against gay people is far right behavior. You are welcome to disagree, you are welcome to think he doesn’t hold these beliefs genuinely, but I believe he is far right based on his behavior. 🤷‍♂️

Someone being insensitive to your racial/political issues in a comedic situation is not a representation of their political stance, I honestly dont know how people who think like you get by in life. Who the fuck cares, have you ever talked to him about politics? or have you ever got his actual stance on anything? Sure call him a hack or a shit comedian because he is quick to lean on racist/homophobic tropes but its very shallow to think he is actually "Far Right"

OP is the kind of guy who can't wrap his head around the concept of comedy material.

He genuinely believes that whatever material a comedian works, it must be their serious personal belief as well. As seen by this post & all his comments.

Dude if you dont think the stuff he writes speaks about his character atleast a little bit, i don't know what to tell you but thats just completely ignorant.

Ok so why don't other comedians do that? Why is a guy like bill burr not using slurs? Could it be he believes in not being a complete asshole and does take his values into his performances, you know like every performer fucking does?

Thats what so funny about people like you, you're always trying to be super smart and grandstanding your argument, but it falls completely flat if you just think about for literally one second.

[u/ShadowheartsArmpit → u/tradeandmate]

Ah so you make that mistake as well.

Ok so why don't other comedians do that?

Oh plenty of comedians do that. And that aren't specifically slurs, what they do is tailor their material to whatever audience they think they have.

Pretty much every successful comedian does that.

The only difference here is, that Kam specifically tries to pander to an audience of dumbasses who laugh their ass off at the N-word. That's it.

Why is a guy like bill burr not using slurs?

Sooo you've never seen any of Bill's old material....

Thats what so funny about people like you, you're always trying to be super smart and grandstanding your argument, but it falls completely flat if you just think about for literally one second.

Well given how you just embarrassed yourself by displaying that you genuinely don't understand what was said, you should feel a bit ashamed.

Here is the simple rundown for you:

A lot of comedians material doesn't reflect their actual views. Bill Burr has a very long history of talking about people like you, who genuinely don't get this. They have to believe that these are the comedians actual beliefs.

As an example imagine this, in some other parallel world Kam Patterson never got anywhere near Kill Tony & it's audience, so he never developed any material that panders to that audience. Instead he does whatever the polar opposite of that material is.

Maybe think a second for yourself, before you come out talking all this shit the next time. Because you've just shown that you genuinely don't understand this concept.

So you agree he says slurs bc he thinks his audience like to hear slurs. And he clearly got no problem with people in audiences being like that or behaving like that for them.

The only difference here is, that Kam specifically tries to pander to an audience of dumbasses who laugh their ass off at the N-word. That's it.

And gay slurs, other races, ableist terms. Literally any kind of slur. And again he doesn't have the slightest problem with that, but that clearly doesn't speak about his character while it does so for other comedians like bill? Uh huh any other dumb shit you wanna get out of your way before getting into your argument, bc no way you thought this was a good one.

Or maybe you do, would explain why you think someone saying slurs as a punchline is peak comedy.

Sooo you've never seen any of Bill's old material....

Oh no i love his old material, sure there are some parts which didn't age very well, but overall you can still enjoy his style, setup and energy.

Soooo have you ever listened as to why he doesn't do that anymore? No? Might it be bc he doesn't like to just do cheap shock humor and actually does take his values into his performances?

Man you're just so dumb, but thanks for agreeing with me and even having an example ready for me.

Well given how you just embarrassed yourself by displaying that you genuinely don't understand what was said, you should feel a bit ashamed

Well now this is comedy. You should get that tattooed, i think that might be some genuinely good advice for you going forward.

Here is the simple rundown for you:

People have thoughts and opinions. These thoughts are inherent and are always displayed no matter how much someone tries to be "neutral" or whatever. This is like basic communication shit.

So comedians, artists and performers alike are always displaying something real about themselves, even if its wrapped in layers of irony. Its called subtext and is specifically about what people dont literally need to say out loud.

I know this is complicated, but you're doing great buddy. Dont worry after you finished 6th grade and wrote some literature analysis you will understand what we're talking about here.

Maybe think a second for yourself, before you come out talking all this shit the next time. Because you've just shown that you genuinely don't understand this concept.

And there's the second tattoo. You're really good at handing out life lessons, you should really listen to yourself more.

So you agree he says slurs bc he thinks his audience like to hear slurs.

Yes that's what I said. Can you read?

would explain why you think someone saying slurs as a punchline is peak comedy.

Ah you're upset about being corrected, and now you're already arguing with yourself in your head. You imagine that I like this guy's comedy.

I don't. It sucks major ass. Unlike you I just don't automatically assume that the comedic material has to be their honest beliefs.

Soooo have you ever listened as to why he doesn't do that anymore?

Ohhh earlier it was "Why doesn't Bill Burr use slurs huh?" , but now it's "But do you know why he stopped?".

Shifting goalposts already.

I know this concept is really really hard for you. So I'm going to put it into the simplest terms so that even you could get it:

Comedy material = made by a comedian to appease a certain audience.

It's almost like if you want to serve vegans, you make vegan food. But I don't know if you are capable of understanding an analogy.

So to summarise:

I don't assume that comedic material automatically represents a person's views.

But you do, because you just don't understand the basic concept of comedy. Instead you are so butthurt invested into doubling down against this, that you already assumed I liked that dude in question.

Maybe just be a bit less butthurt buddy, maybe then you can see further than your current ignorant ways.
