So before I even start, Dennis Miller is not funny.
Now then, where are the “Conservative” comedians? And please note the Dennis Miller admonishment…I’m talking about people who are actually funny.
Who is the voice of “Conservative” funny?
PJ O’rourke
Ron “Tater Salad” White is pretty funny until he decides to make a political point for its own sake rather than for the laughs.
Some of the newer country music lyrics should fit the bill for ya
He was once, before he hitched his star to being GWB’s court jester.
Jesus wept, that was annoying! People actually listen to that shit? I’m going to listen to about an hour of Johnny Cash to rinse the memory of that mess away.
You kidding? It’s the perfect soundtrack for today’s imperial foot soldiers and big business sharecroppers - folks so de-culturated that all they think of when they think of their home town is “America.”
i guess we’re only allowed to nominate Scotsman in this thread, so I’m not familiar with that breed. And trill the 'r" in that last word, laddie!
Heck, Limbaugh can be funny. He is more irritating because he is such a liar, but he is quite capable of making a point in a humorous way.
Both Scott Stantis and Eric Allie have published very funny political commentary in the comic strip Prickly City. (Tinsley’s Mallard Fillmore, OTOH, is humorless drek.)
Kelsey Grammer? Says he was practically blacklisted in Hollywood because’s a Republican. Then again, maybe it’s because he’s not that funny. However, he has had more successful TV shows & movies than I have, so I should probably shut up now.
I think a lot of fans forget how conservative South Park used to get during the Bush years.
Come on, all those oversized pickup truck drivers need something to nod approvingly to when they’re taking a break from talk radio.
He’s funny because the shows had your go-to writers for good comedy: bicoastal, Jewish, male, and liberal.
Humor is in the eye of the beholder. While Miller never was one of my favorite comedians, he can be amusing sometimes. That YOU don’t like him hardly negates him from the list of conservative comedians.
Funny in YOUR opinion, right? But since you aren’t a conservative, it’s hard for me to fathom why you would either ask this question or care about the answer, unless it’s merely to say ‘well, these guys aren’t funny’ in some sort of points game.
Here, let me help you out…liberals have a lock on the top spots for political humor and on the top comedians. They are also the most heavily represented group in film, TV and just about every other form of entertainment. There…you feel better now? 
This seems to be one of those popular thread topics that keeps coming up every now and then. For example:
Liberals=Funny, Conservatives=Mean
Conservatives: Where’s the funny?
Conservative stand-up comedians?
Why Can’t Conservatives Be Funny?
Here and in those threads, the focus is on funny people (comedians, humorists) who are conservative. If you look at it from the other direction, conservatives (politicians) who have a sense of humor don’t seem to be all that rare (e.g. Bob Dole, John McCain, maybe George H. W. Bush).
Strong ideologies have a tendency to be humorless. The cliche of the humorless feminist, for instance. Or old Soviet-style communism: humor is reactionary. 1960s college leftists were deadly serious (and often deadly dull.) I’ve met a few Christians who insist that God has no sense of humor; Jesus may have wept, but he never laughed.
I don’t think it’s a fault of either the left or the right, or of religion or atheism. I think it comes from taking the world too seriously. If one really believes that Obama’s re-election means the end of freedom in the U.S., well, there isn’t a lot to laugh about.
Humor is “that batable ground between sanity and madness,” which few dare tread. (Fritz Leiber.) It is for those who dare to take the world lightly.
And if one believed that Bush’s reelection was the end of freedom in the US…?
Michael Steele and Herman Cain
I second PJ O’Rourke, and submit Adam Carolla. He’s somewhere between moderate libertarian and moderate conservative.
Yeah, fair enough, that too. The people who believed that were not likely to be any fun to be around at cocktail parties. Fortunately, that’s pretty much in the past (but not entirely; there are some who say that Bush destroyed freedom and that Obama is simply maintaining the state of tyranny. And, yeah, they aren’t any fun to hang with either.)
Stop being reasonable, darn it. I’ve agreed with you, like, three times in the past couple months. That simply cannot continue!
I was beaten to the punch in mentioning Adam Carolla. I agree that he’s a libertarian leaning moderate conservative.
Glenn Beck is sort of a comedian in a PALATR manner. His views are some twisted devolved version of conservativism.

It is funny to hear a drug addled multiple divorcée preach about social conservative values. MahaRushie is hilarious at times. The parody ads on his website are especially guffaw-inducing.
