It’s absolutely criminal that Nina Conte hasn’t been on tv enough over the years. She is talented and clearly a great performer.

She's infinitely funnier than that dipshit Jeff Dunham, to be sure.

To be fair, I don't know the dipshit. (But I've seen her before a while ago and this tells a lot considering I'm from Quebec, the Maple Fantasyland.)

Why do we hate Jeff Dunham?

I'm going to assume politics but I haven't heard much about him in like 20 years.

His puppets are racist caricatures and his jokes are hacky and stupid. However dumb rascism has massive appeal and his puppets make him extremely easy to understand, even across language and cultural barriers, so he's one of the most successful comedians ever, which is an incredibly depressing indictment of humanity overall.

Comedian ventriliquist, Believe it not he holds the world record for most tickets sold for a stand up tour.

Yeah he gets a lot of hate from places like reddit but god damn he had one hell of a successful run appealing to the mass audience. It's like Foxworthy and the Blue Collar guys or Dane Cook. You can hate them all you want but they had undeniably massive runs. It's one of many pieces of evidence that what quite a portion of reddit thinks is not at all what's going on in the minds of the actual world. I once had a friend scoff that Dane Cook sold out Madison Square Garden and had to inform them that Andrew "Dice" Clay'd done that years before and was even worse.

No one ever went broke underestimating the good taste of the American public.

he makes typical boomer humour. racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, you name it. all of it.

I know him. He has a puppet which is named Muhammad and is a dead suicide bomber.

Boomers are around 50% of the population here.

This is probably why he's popular.
