Like Judd Apatow and Jim Carrey, he lost his ability to be funny because of his obsession with leftist politics.
Comedy is hard. It’s a lot harder to be funny than most people realize. Some people have a gift that they can be funny without incredible effort, but that part of their brain is very fragile. Once they start focusing their mind on something else they very quickly lose it.
Its because to be funny, you usually have to let your mind be free to jump to the funny thoughts, and then express those thoughts. Once you start thinking "I can't say that because it'll offend X group!" Then you've put in the mental traps to prevent your mind from going to the thoughts that would be funny.
I just watched the 1st episode of the Twilight Zone reboot and it's about a Comedian who tries to inject politics into his standup bit and noone laughs. It's not until he starts talking about real shit going on in his life that people connect and laugh. I think it just happens as people get older. I'm 32 and I think I've only got like 1-2 friends who stayed "cool" and still have the mindset where politics and the world at large can still be separate from our perspective. It's still US vs The World, so to speak. Everyone else subjugated themselves to the "larger tribe" and the narrative so certain things are "touchy" taken way too seriously.
I'm in my upper 40s and have the same experience. It's so painful. I used to think it was a West Coast thing because I moved out here decades ago, but I'm finding this idiotic attitude has infected a lot of the people from back "home".
When people get old they get soft and want to be safe with the tribe. There’s a fear of being forgotten or exiled from the tribe when you die, and people want to be remembered. It sucks because I remember so many pacts I made with friends growing up that have mostly been broken because of peer pressure. I wish they knew that total strangers don’t give a fuck about them and real friends are where you form a perspective unique to your group. We’ve gone from forming genuine relationships to subjugating ourselves to the shallow collective. We’ve become just passerby’s in life, just another walking meatbag chasing our respective dragon, only to nod at our neighbors with the same abysmal look in our eyes signaling a subliminal desperation as if a fire is dying spark by irreplaceable spark. The only time we will feel alive again is during protests or riots. It’s the road they want us to go down. Fuck that shit. For what it’s worth, these .win sites are a breath of fresh air for once. Helps me stay positive that I’m not alone in this progressively dystopian nightmare.
Right.. to be funny you have to have a broader understanding.. deeper and they can't.Just like the left can't meme. Their movies are crap because they are driven to put their one dimension leftist BS in them to try to brainwash us.
Being "funny" comes very naturally to some people, like Seth Rogan. I do believe that his career was based on a natural talent for being funny. Most comedy actors in Hollywood are not "funny" because they spent years honing their craft, like a standup comedian has to. Most of them are just people who have an instinctive sense of timing and humor.
For people like that, it's a very tenuous grasp they have on their talent. Back to Seth Rogan, he was one of these kind of people. He just had a good sense of timing and was a physical type that fit in well with a wave of comedy films that came out about 10 years ago.
Unfortunately for him, the last 4 years has significantly interrupted his ability to be funny since his mind has lost its grasp on comedic timing.
The ironic thing is, the roles that made Rogan a star? He didn't write. And those roles were written for him. I've yet to see anything he's done on his own, using his "talent", that's funny. In most cases, it's a complete bore.
Apatow was funny, not Rogan. Anyone would be funny if they had apatow writing their lines.
Maybe, but there was also a fair amount of improvisation in particular in Apatow movies. There's a scene in the unrated version of 40 Year Old Virgin where Rogan and Paul Rudd are trading snaps back and forth on "You know how I know YOURE gay?" that is pretty good. I don't know if that was all scripted.
