OK, here’s the wind-up from Friday courtesy of Jesse Kelly:
The wife threw her back out. I hate doing this, but I’d appreciate any prayers you could send our way cause there are clothes in the dryer.

And here’s the response from Ilan Ben-Meir, former BuzzFeed political reporter and current Ph.D. candidate whose research focuses on post-digital textuality:
Your modern American Right, folks. https://t.co/7be5fPaFfM
— Ilan Ben-Meir (@ilanagain) May 10, 2019
Jesse Kelly is indeed the modern American Right, and we’re happy to have him on our side.
To be clear: it’s obvious that this is supposed to be a joke.
My point is that this is the kind of joke only assholes would think was funny.
And before y’all go calling me a snowflake — I’m not *offended,* I just think you’re a bunch of knuckle-dragging dipshits.
— Ilan Ben-Meir (@ilanagain) May 11, 2019
Really putting that English degree from Yale through its paces there. Good investment, good return.
But in the spirit of good sport, if any of you mouthbreathing fucknuggets can explain why @JesseKellyDC’s joke is *actually funny*, I’ll give you a hundred bucks — Scout’s honor.
— Ilan Ben-Meir (@ilanagain) May 11, 2019
Do we trust Scout’s honor from a former BuzzFeed reporter? Because he owes this guy a hundred bucks:
The joke is *actually funny* because being the shallow stereotype of what liberals believe about conservatives, it baited you into an outraged reply before realizing you'd taken the bait. Watching you try to furiously claw the hook out of your mouth is the punchline.

No, send the $100.
What isn't funny, and what is fueling the rising popularity of "dry-bar comedy", is the assumption among the "self-declared sophisticates" that using as much prison-inmate language as possible in every sentence is somehow the key to making them seem more clever and humorous.

We assure you he ran his tweets past a classroom of sixth-graders and they found them hilarious.
This is humorous because it's so obviously not reality. But, I understand how people who are unable to discern fake from real might not be able to tell the difference. To each his own.

People like you think Saturday Night Live is funny you don't have a sense of humor and you don't understand anybody else's sense of humor. What's hilarious is that this bothers you! LOL you lose.
— EricSteeleLive (@EricSteeleLive) May 11, 2019
No, not even the most die-hard liberal would admit “Saturday Night Live” is funny now.
Your brain on Buzzfeed.

I feel like you need some help. I’m here to help. Do the following. Take your right index finger and thumb, grab the panties you got all twisted in your ass with them, and pull. Should feel better in a second.

Good one @JesseKellyDC ? Without a sense of humor life would be so boring. Lighten up world ? I have a feeling Jesse’s wife handles herself pretty well and gives him a run for his money.
— Page Wade (@PageWade) May 11, 2019
Oh my god the left truly doesn’t have a sense of humor. I imagine being on the left is like drowning in a liquid pit of ‘being offended’

LOL one of the funniest guys on Twitter. The fact his fans know how much he loves his way wife and kids makes his tweets funny.
