There are different strains of conservative so there's going to be different kinds of conservative humor. Also humor has a cultural element so the humor of even the gentlest conservative might not work with your average liberal or vice versa.

On culture it might be even more than that. What is considered funny "on a national level" is generally decided by people living in heavily Democratic/liberal cities. Conservative states like Utah, Nebraska, or Indiana are almost non-existent in the entertainment world. A possible exception being the unusual world of Mormon cinema. I think at least some of those could maybe give you a sense of a kind of "conservative humor" very different than mentioned here. (Whether this means "Napoleon Dynamite" is "conservative humor" is a question I'm not competent to answer) However for non-Mormon conservatives in the Plains or South what we find funny will remain alien to you as it's rarely going to make it to television.

Another factor is that true conservatism tends to emphasize prudence, self-discipline, and individual responsibility. People who are prudent, responsible, and disciplined are often going to be unfunny. So many of the "funny conservatives" are really more like libertarians.

Still some of what people are deriding here isn't "conservative human", it's more the humor of crazy Right-wingers. There's nothing really conservative about Ann Coulter. She's not conserving anything or anyone. She lives to tear down and attack. She wants an intrusive government so long as it's intruding on her real or imaginary enemies. A real conservative humor would be more like the Andy Griffith show, some of Jimmy Stewart's funnier movies, or maybe "King of the Hill." (Although KotH is possibly satiring conservatives it does at times seem to come from their perspective)

Mac Davis - Texas In My Rear View Mirror lyrics

I was just fifteen and outta control
Lost to James Dean and rock and roll
I knew down deep in my country soul
That I had to get away

Hollywood was a lady in red
Who danced in my dreams
As I tossed in bed
I knew I'd wind up
In jail or dead
If I had to stay

I thought happiness
Was Lubbock, Texas
In my rear view mirror
My momma kept calling me home
But I just did not want to hear her
And the vision was getting clearer
In my dreams

So I laid out one night in June
Stoned on the glow of the Texas moon
Humming an old Buddy Holly tune
Called Peggy Sue

With my favorite jeans
And a cheap guitar

I ran off chasing a distant star
If Buddy Holly could make it that far
I figured I could too

And I thought happiness
Was Lubbock, Texas
In my rear view mirror
My momma kept calling me home
But I just did not want to hear her
And the vision was getting clearer
In my dreams

But the Hollywood moon didn't
Smile the same old smile
That I'd grown up with
The lady in red
Just wanted my last dime

And I cried myself to sleep at night
Too dumb to run, too scared to fight
And too proud to admit it at the time

So I got me some gigs on Saturday nights
Not much more than orchestrated fights
I'd come home drunk and I'd try to write
But the words came out wrong

Hell bent and bound for a wasted youth
Too much gin and not enough vermouth
And no one to teach me
How to seek the truth
Before I put it into song

I still thought happiness
Was Lubbock, Texas
In my rear view mirror
My momma kept calling me home
But I just could not, would not hear her
And the vision was getting clearer
In my dreams

Well, I thank God each and every day
For giving me the music and words to say
I'd-a never made it any other way
He was my only friend

Now I sleep a little better at night
When I look in the mirror
In the morning light
The man I see was both wrong and right
He's going home again

I guess happiness was Lubbock, Texas
In my rear view mirror
But now happiness is Lubbock, Texas
Growing nearer and dearer
And the vision is getting clearer
In my dreams

And I think I finally know
Just what it means
And when I die you can bury me
In Lubbock, Texas, in my jeans

Exhibit 1: Mallard Fillmore.

Not funny.

Exhibit 2: Day by Day.

Not funny.

Case closed.

I have noever know a Conservative to be Funny..Every single Blog that has RW Conservatives.. "there are no JUST Conservatives"..they landblast opinion ans statement with heavy dirges and personal attacks.

NEVER discussing the issues. Just ideology over logic.

Such as the Creationist/Alternate World specialist..that know nothing about everything and vice versa.

Thie purpose is to subjugate and push down evereyone just like they did to the Slaves and Non-WHites in our country.

They are not subtle about it. IN your face hate and then blame you for getting upset.

I have relatives that have adopted the all argument schemes of Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity, Miller, Gerson, Will, Novak, FOX, Sinclair, Rove and Norquist..and other RW teams...

PLUS the PAID RW bloggers that do nothing but SHILL Political RW illness.

NO .. sense of humor.. another Dog and Pony show to try and mulify the PUBLIC that the Right Wingers are more human.

They will bite you in the a$$ the first second, wait like a hawk for first opportunity, especially when you turn your back.

I am no longer fooled!
AND well prepared to kill their attack.

As a centrist Democrat married to a pretty far to the right Republican for many years, I've had plenty of exposure to conservative humor. I think there is some substance to the accusation that conservative humor tends to come from outrage, but I worry that such conclusions are self-serving and stem from selective listening/memory.

However, I will add that I was Googling around for stuff on Chelsea Clinton yesterday and happened on stuff about her and her mom on some conservative blogs whose "humor" was so vicious and misogynistic I was taken aback--and I have a pretty rowdy sense of humor. Looks like people find misogyny more acceptable than racism, because I see a lot criticizing Obama from the right but nothing as blatantly ugly as this.

Still, I think we should try to find less toxic examples, such as:

"A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged."

That makes it point without getting in the gutter, I think.

But it does stand to reason that the side that mocks and distrusts authority will do better at humor than the side that reveres authority, which believes values like respect and dignity trump the anarchic individualistic spirit.

I just Googled "conservative humor." Mainly pretty vicious, I gotta admit. I'll have to ask my spouse about conservative jokes that aren't vicious...

Nope, sorry, conservatives simply aren't funny. They refer to the hate-speech of Limbaugh and Coulter as humor. Fox sponsored the excrutiating "Red Eye." Dennis Miller used to be funny, then he became an angry conservative. Now he's got a game show.

And George Will humor? That's like saying my father-in-law's puns are funny.

But surely of all the candidates Hillary Clinton will give the most precise, detailed answers to questions of policy or on issues. When people complain she is not answering the question, it is usually because the correct answer is to wait and see (e.g. social security) or they do not like her answer.

Conservatives DO have a sense of humor. However, that humor is generally at the expense of another. Conservative humor is mean-spirited, ignorant, cruel and crass. The humor of conservatives does not develop beyond that of 15 year old boys. As a group they find Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Savage to be hilarious since they are the one's to reassure their audiences that it IS ok to laugh at the old lady falling in the street, and those kooky brown people and their kooky Godless ways (my how we laughed)...nothing is as chuckle inducing as the overall stupidity of the LIBRUL (wiping tears from their eyes at THOSE retards...Ha! Retards are different, lesser lifeforms and it's okay to laugh at them too) and don't get a conservative started on the GAYS (ROTFL)... Stop it. You're killing me.

I thought you might have a little insight about humor among conservatives, until I read your further comment about Tim Russert being aggressive with his questions and realized you are living in Fantasyland. He is one of the leading practitioners of fawning toadiness, and the only "humor" I ever see among conservatives is that which is based on humiliation or denigration of people they don't like. And Lubbock is fine. Your teeth stay white there because of all the sandblasting they get

Here's the thing: Liberals like their politics served with a side of humor, hence the *Daily Show.* Conservatives like their politics served in a casserole of outrage, hence *The O'Reilly Factor.* Both groups can tell - and take - a joke when it's outside the political arena.

hmmm...

there's a great deal of editorial affinity for anti-liberal questions in this column. maybe it's just me....

DALLAS -- Security details at Barack

Obama's rally Wednesday stopped screening people for weapons at the front gates more than an hour before the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Reunion Arena.

The order to put down the metal detectors and stop checking purses and laptop bags came as a surprise to several Dallas police officers who said they believed it was a lapse in security.

It was not "Why don't politicians answer the questions they are asked?"

It was, "Why don't REPORTERS ever really press politicians for answers?" and "...why the QUESTIONS most Americans would ask are NOT ASKED." (emphasis added)

Gee ANOTHER conservative opinion, just what this country needs- more weak thinking for the overpriviledged underachievers who make up the republican base of voters!

You vow to mock only places you've been? That's a fairly hefty commitment, but understandable. After all, if you've actually BEEN a place, you no doubt have a great deal of empathy for the land, the buildings, the community. None of this mere BEING IN a place for you!

Awww, give poor Lubbock a break. To have mocking rights, is it enough to have "been there"? Being born, reared, and still being there may not be enough To safely mock a place, I think you need to secretly love it.

The Daily Show is most people's source of political humor and it makes fun of both liberals and conservatives. It's just easier to make fun of the people in power, and until last year, the dems didn't have any of that.
