Not looking to discuss politics. I’m just trying to find the humour in left-wing mainstream comedy.
I’ve tried watching at least 30 movies and as far as I can tell it’s the same two tropes. Someone who is usually smart does something obviously stupid or they are uninformd about something and everyone is shocked that they just don’t get it with a “seriously bro” type of comment. Or the other trope when someone who is super serious becomes upset because someone shocked them with their progressive views with a “yeah that’s how it’s done” type of comment.
What’s funny about that?
Marvel movies are leftist?
Even ignoring that Marvel isn’t leftist, I don’t even think leftists think Marvel humor is good. OP’s premise is broken on so many levels
I think OP might have a skewed opinion of the centre.
Yeah.
Oh honey, what dark corners of the Internet have you gotten mired in?
Gab, according to his post history
Protecting status quo with violence is usually not left wing. Super heroes are reactionary. They don’t create anything. They just react to some villains plan to change things. That’s right wing conservatism. Beat up anyone who want to do things differently.

And Robert Jewett and John Shelton Lawrence’s books:
Oh no
We came to this thread brother, we should not be surprised lmao
All too true lol
How?
Come on, buddy lol.
I don’t think comedic breaks in action films are exclusive to any particular political group. You might be conflating the two because certain slang terms often appear in those breaks, and those terms might be more prevalent in communities you think of as leftist.
Let me give you a counter-example. In Star Trek Beyond, Spock realizes the crew can locate an away team by the radiation given off by a jewel he gave Uhura. McCoy asks him incredulously “you gave your girlfriend a tracking device?” and Spock responds “that was not my intent.” This is a classic “bruh” moment, but it uses traditional wording, not slang. So if you think of this phenomenon as being intrinsically linked with leftist slang, I can assure you it isn’t.
He finds a comedic pause interrupting his delicious violence to be a bit too far to the left. I don’t know if bringing up a moment based around an interracial couple in a goddamned socialist space movie about learning, sharing and helping is the best way to show this particular OP that not all BruhBreaks™ are leftist.
