Can we talk about how much "The Babylon Bee" sucks?

[Music Man]

Man, I am getting so tired of conservatives on social media sharing it as if it's this hilarious alternative to "The Onion."

I'll admit I find a lot of their church-based humor funny. Jokes about praise and worship bands, church ladies, and the like. It's what they know and do well.

But lately I've noticed more and more articles just taking aim at the left in partisan ways without any sense of humor, just a point of view. Conservatives will say, "You just don't like it because it makes fun of liberals." No, I don't like "The Babylon Bee" because it's just really, really lame comedy.

"The Onion" and "The Daily Show" and other comedy outlets will make fun of liberals, as well, but in truly funny ways. They know how to find the absurdity on either side or even gently mock things they agree with. They're pros.

"The Babylon Bee" reminds me of Fox News' attempt at comedy years ago. "The Half Hour News Hour." Anyone remember that? It was supposed to be the "conservative answer" to "The Daily Show." It was awful and lasted, like, 10 episodes.

Anyway, not sure my point in posting this. Just needed to get that off my chest

2. One point your post has achieved is to assist in educating me, since I typically don't seek out

this type of information. And I find this education very useful. Thank you!

3. There's a reason almost no comics are conservatives.

And the few that are, simply aren't very funny.

I think the underlying problem is that conservatives all take themselves very seriously, unlike liberals who simply don't.
