Here’s what’s WRONG with modern comedy according to Adam DeVine and Theo Von
July 19, 2023
Actors and writers in Hollywood are angry about a number of things. Unfair wages, fear of AI taking over the industry, and concerns about health care and pensions are the three main causes of the strike.
However, some actors have a fourth grievance to air: wokeness.
Actor Adam DeVine joins comedian Theo Von to discuss what’s wrong with modern comedy.
“There used to be something like … 45 or 46 comedies in the theaters every year,” DeVine tells Von, but “last year, there was only like six or seven.”
“The crazy thing is it feels like people need comedy more than ever,” Von adds.
DeVine just starred in a comedy called "The Out-Laws," which hit Netflix on July 7, and he loves the film because it’s all hilarity and zero brainwashing – “There’s no hidden message,” he says.
Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for people to “get to the end of what [they thought was] a comedy” only to discover that the film was actually “about global warming,” DeVine continues.
“Oh! The moon is trans?” Von jokes. “Is that the surprise ending?”
“Once you allow [wokeness] in, it will destroy the whole freaking thing,” Dave Rubin comments.
