Laura earned the points, that was funny, but anyone who says ABK isn't funny just doesn't get the kind of humor he does. It's... dry and convoluted, sometimes bordering on anti-joke, and I simply love it for how silly it is just by itself.

I'd go as far to say that there are objectively funny people who other people might not subjectively find funny, but it all crashes down as concepts such as being funny or humor are purely subjective matters.

I got the same feeling although she did make me laugh a bit. She seemed somewhat more practical about her stance than most. I enjoyed ABK much more though. I have come to appreciate entertainers that don't alienate or divide portions of their audience by mixing humor with political messages. I'm not saying entertainers shouldn't be allowed to offend or say controversial things, it's very important that they have that right. It's just nice to be able to go somewhere to escape all the controversy and politics. It's nice to find entertainment that potentially unites people despite their differences. It feels like a rare experience these days.

I’ve never seen Laura Lexx before but I feel like she may have been a bit nervous or something. She was talking far too fast for me, but I know I do have some problems with auditory processing so it could just be me who had a hard time catching what she was saying. She is funny, I did like the jokes, but the way she presented them just threw me off. She repeated things a few times and with the talking so fast as well that’s what makes me think she may have been nervous or feeling awkward since there isn’t a studio crowd. Must be weird for comedians now to perform when they can’t have a room full of people to react to them and let them know if they’re doing good or not. So maybe that’s why she was talking so fast? I came here for ABK but now I feel kind of bad for her since so many people here didn’t like her.

Why did Laura have to drag feminism into this? Everyone in this comment section hates it because they think it's "feminist" though tbh it feels more antifeminist to me though. And well... yeah no not a big fan of antifeminism but I digress. Of course, if Laura is funny to one, she's still funny to someone, but tbh I personally like ABK's better. But noo since feminism is dragged into this now I'm gonna be accused of being antifeminist and all or something. Edit: Everyone in the comment section keeps complaining about how they aren't allowed to dislike Laura because feminism. And there's this one person in the comment section who thinks the reason why no one laughed at Laura is because sexism and all which proves everyone else's notions on how fEmiNiSts aRe fOrcInG lAugHs and an idiot said that males are funnier than females because reproduction and they used this video to confirm that. Why did this have to be controversial? Why is liking one comedian's jokes over another suddenly controversial in this section? STOP IT EVERYONE, *GET SOME HELP* Edit 2: Apparently there's this person who is apparently NOT a woman because of their sense of humor. Tbh I don't know if they're lying or not either. But why assume that all women have to laugh at feminist jokes? Oh man! You don't find a joke funny! Suddenly you are not a woman! Anyway blah blah blah. *GET SOME HELP* Day 2 of waiting for these people to get help. Edit 3: Laura isn't the only one to drag feminism into some random thing. THIS ENTIRE COMMENT SECTION IS DOING IT
