• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"An excellent tour through the contemporary right-wing media comedy complex, an area many of us know too little about and have resisted investigating on our own. I praise the authors for how beautifully they weave analysis into their descriptions of comedic performances and texts."--Viveca S. Greene, Associate Professor of Media Studies, Hampshire College "A lively tour of the menagerie of sad right-wing comedy tryhards who wield a surprising amount of power in today's media ecosystem."--Ken Klippenstein, investigative journalist, The Intercept "Looking directly at a partial eclipse, the authors of That's Not Funny push our critical considerations of humor beyond questions of taste, value, or political allegiance. They confront far-right laughter so we don't have to in their most engaging, timely, and evocative study."--Maggie Hennefeld, author of Specters of Slapstick & Silent Film Comediennes
