Todd Phillips Left Comedy to Make ‘Joker’ Because ‘Woke Culture’ Ruined the Genre

Comedy in general is a trash genre in a 1-2 hour film format. Comedy works okay in shorts or in standup, but even then I wouldn't pay to see comedy because it's degenerate physical pleasure seeking. There is no depth or meaning to comedy, you are just chasing a high in the form of laughter. Laughter is a completely illogical act just like sex, you don't will pleasure from it. Your DNA causes this involuntary response. You are a slave lacking free will.

Furthermore, who the heck wants to go a theatre to listen to blacks and immigrants cackle for 2 hours?

I don't disagree with him at all.
