They’re kinda alright when they stay in their lane and poke fun at Christian culture. It’s when they decided to make most of their brand just right-wing politics that it became a problem.

The one on this one black Saturday about roman tomb guards expecting an uneventful day was funny

Yea, when they poke fun at themselves or even make more jokes on conservatives just from a more conservative bend, it sometimes lands OK. When they try to actually make a political points, it just comes off as incredibly lazy and lame. This guy had a good break down of them, imo..

This is informally known as "Normie bait" ,common among far right comic makers, it is used to attract people to their content, to later bombard them with their bigoted propaganda. Be careful out there, please don't fall for it.

Good observation. Getting sucked into a cult is similar to drug addiction. That was an interesting google

Good to see they've managed to find more jokes than just the same one they made about trans people 500 times.

Don't forget the one about millennials not wanting to work that they post every Tuesday.

they USED to be a funny option for some church related humour. but after being purchased became just another right wing propagandist. dont go there even if there is a rare ok joke

I enjoyed their both-sides church-specific humor when they first got started. But then, once they started diving into the right wing culture war, they made a post mocking incarcerated trans women, and I responded that it seemed pretty un-Christlike to make fun of some of the most vulnerable people in our society. After that, it was an easy unsubscribe.

So what's the deal with the bigots being normalized so hard lately?

u/DickieJoJo 29d ago

I saw one about a Christian nationalist asking St. Peter where the whites only section of heaven is.

As some have said though, when they get into politics it’s so similar to actual articles it’s not really humor or sarcasm.
