New Comedy Website For The Right
Today, there are not too many places where Americans on the right can go for a good laugh. Nearly all of today's comedy formats and venues cater to those on the left, and as we know, slamming the right is very frequently their main goal. Since
Online, April 19, 2011 (Newswire.com) - If those on the political left want to go out to see left-minded comics then they are in luck: most comics are. If those on the political right want to see right minded comics, however, they might prefer to stay home. But those on the right might not need to go out because there's an on-line comedy website custom-made for them. It's www.politicallyincorrectfun.com.
It's basically a one-man show run by founder, Matt Dunn. But it's not stand-up comedy. "Exactly, in fact, if I behave myself, I'm allowed to sit and everything, and if a joke bombs--like that last one--there's no one there to heckle me. Ain't the internet great? Thanks Al Gore!" kids Mr. Dunn.
Instead, politicallyincorrectfun.com relies on different comic devices to lampoon the left. One is "chinsters." "These are politically incorrect, stereotypical and sarcastic chin puppets that are truly offensive, yet somehow produce more joy than
tree-huggers at a forest fire," Mr. Dunn says. Some chinsters perform quasi-impersonations of political figures, such as Bill Clinton, Arianna Huffington and Charlie Rangel. The latter recently appearing on Politico.com. Others are Mr. Dunn's own character inventions, such as "Chinster Pops," "Chinster Tamika" and "Hard Hat Charlie Chinster." Other devices include skits, observational humor, poems, letters to the editor, photo call-outs, bumper stickers, audio bits, gags, mask routines and FAQ's.
Political correctness, of course, provides much of the comedy; and the news media, Hollywood, Madison Avenue, big government, Obama's health care, global warming, gun control, reparations, the abortion rights and gay rights movements--along with the liberal champions of these--provide the rest.
"At least one-half of Americans consider themselves politically right of center, and since so few right-center comedy venues exist, the demand for it should be enormous, and I want to tap into that. I want to offer the right something they definitely want, need and deserve: a comedy venue that will turn the tables on the left and give the right some long overdue laughs. All I want in return is a date with Condoleezza Rice, not much to ask!" Mr. Dunn jokes. Mr. Dunn has performed stand-up comedy in New York and Maryland; he has a B.A. in History/Political Science from S.U.N.Y.A; and he's been published in The Record, The Atlantic City Press Newspaper, The Ridgewood News, The Ramsey Reporter and The Greenwich Time.
