Favorite N. American Social/Political Satirists?

Bill Maher here.

 

I have clicked with many of the things he's said.

I simply cannot stand listening to him say them.

 

Paul Rust is the edgiest of them all. He isn't afraid to say what cheeses him off, pisses him off, or causes him to become peeved or miffed.

 

I'd endorse a prequel to Idiocracy (2006), but that might
seem redundant because we're currently soaking in it...

 

The Innocents Abroad (1869) made me laugh out loud several times.

 

Bill was good back in the day when he hosted Politically Incorrect. Few laughs this Century, alas.

 

The Firesign Theatre
Frank Zappa / Mothers Of Invention

 

Matt Taibbi

not a fan of his extremely political HBO show that's on almost every friday night?

 

Satirist? He’s more a straight commentator who occasionally gets snarky.

 

Twain, Bierce, Southern, Carlin.

 

David and Sorel are both geniuses.

 

Kristen Schaal politely listening is cracking me up!

 

tucker carlson might just be the biggest ****ing clown on TV.

 

Good documentary

 

Kurt Vonnegut

 

Does Phil Henrie count?

 

I would also say;
Negativland counts, too.

 

The Devil's Dictionary is a timeless classic.

 

The comic strip? Too tedious to actually be funny in a traditional satirical sense for me.

 

I saw Dick Gregory's stand-up act at The Cellar Door Club
in Washington, D.C. during the Watergate hearings back
in the '70s. The man was on fire that night. Brilliant.

 

Well, he's on one of the best comedy networks on TV.

 

Their re-boot of Cops usually elicits some chuckles.

 

I reluctantly admire their tenacity in their ongoing struggle to find the bottom.
