We've touched on comedy before and it's definitely true the conservative side of the spectrum has been outnumbered and they were "stuck in the mud" before. The world of performance arts has always tacked to the left so there is that. Comedy as "we knew it" is dying anyway, being killed by political correctness, woke culture, freedom of expression only for things they agree with, etc. If even left wing comedians cannot perform on college campus without offending someone, its doomed. Hollywood rarely produces good comedies anymore for the same reasons. Their new production codes will make it even less likely. Try to remake Animal House, Caddyshack, Blazing Saddles, Slap Shot, Airplane, 48 hrs, any Monty Python, the list is endless. TV sitcoms? Try remaking MASH or even Seinfeld.
Very good comedy punches up or at least across and must be based on truth. It makes fun of the elites or ruling class, hypocrisy, and that's why the masses enjoyed it. Comedians don't punch up because they treat the elites like a protected class. Like Hollywood, comedy is supposed to entertain and distract them from their daily lives in return for money. Most people will not pay money to be lectured or propagandized, especially from the likes of the crowd at the Oscars. They want good laughs, listen to good dialogue, follow good storylines, and see stuff blowup from multiple camera angles.
