Comedy ain’t what it used to be. Once a source of wholesome laughs, it’s been hijacked by elites pushing shock over substance. And no one’s done more damage than Larry David. His smug, sneering style turned humor into a weapon against decency, replacing joy with cringing discomfort.
David’s shows Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm glorified selfishness and rudeness. Characters mocked traditions, ignored morals, and treated everyday Americans like jokes. Instead of uniting people, this “comedy” divided them — pitting neighbors against neighbors with mean-spirited punchlines.
The problem got worse as copycats flooded TV. Shows like Broad City and Succession adopted David’s heartless style, celebrating chaos over community. Laughter became a nervous reaction, not a happy one. Families stopped watching together because nobody wants to explain why Aunt Edna’s values are “outdated.”
David brags about avoiding sympathy in his work. Real comedy used to connect people — think of Cheers or The Cosby Show. Now it’s just wealthy liberals mocking hardworking folks. They’d rather shock you with vulgarity than earn a laugh with warmth.
Traditional humor celebrated life’s quirks without attacking faith, family, or freedom. Today’s comedy scoffs at those pillars. It’s no accident this garbage thrives in Hollywood, where woke agendas replace common sense. They’d rather insult Middle America than understand it.
The left’s fingerprints are all over this mess. Political correctness silences conservative voices, but Larry David gets a pass for “pushing boundaries.” Double standards let liberals trash our culture while calling it “art.” Real Americans see through the act.
Comedy should lift people up, not tear them down. We need humor that respects viewers instead of lecturing them. Larry David’s legacy is a warning: when elites control culture, they’ll redefine “funny” until it’s unrecognizable.
It’s time to demand better. Turn off the toxic shows. Support comedians who love this country. Laughter shouldn’t leave a bad taste — and America deserves a comeback.
