“Com­e­dy has no rules, per se. But in my 15 years of writ­ing and per­form­ing, I’ve come up with a few guide­lines that I find helpful:
1. Be funny.
2. Tell the truth.
3. Make peo­ple in pow­er uncomfortable.”
—Adam Conover
 

Michelle Wolf is fuck­ing hi­lar­i­ous and has been one of my fa­vorite parts of The Dai­ly Show for awhile now. 

And with this weekend’s con­tro­ver­sy, I had some trou­ble find­ing her ac­tu­al cor­re­spon­dence din­ner jokes – which was weird – since every­one seemed to be say­ing how taste­less and shit­ty they are.

But, I found this list,
and
I found her com­ment that ex­plains why jour­nal­ists aren’t de­fend­ing Wolf for do­ing a very sim­i­lar set to what is usu­al­ly done at the WHCD over the past few decades:

“You guys are ob­sessed with Trump. Did you use to date him? Be­cause you pre­tend like you hate him, but I think you love him. I think what no one in this room wants to ad­mit is that Trump has helped all of you. He couldn’t sell steaks or vod­ka or wa­ter or col­lege or ties or Eric. But he has helped you. He’s helped you sell your pa­pers and your books and your TV. You helped cre­ate this mon­ster and now you’re prof­it­ing off of him.”
