comedian & political satirist Bassem Youssef

I have yet to see him make one funny joke.

He's a political vehicle that some people want to push, nothing else.

Amazing comeback. Is that more of his material?

Don't need his material to prove my point. You're just an idiot and I wouldn't be surprised if I caught you saying Amy Schumer was a better comedian. Unless you'd like to declare that now?

Amy Schumer was a better comedian

Pretty low standard for you to bring that up. I think I see why you might find him funny now.

Love how you skewed the statement and answered with a deflection.

Liberals man

I do, which is why I don't find John Oliver funny, I don't find Stephen Colbert funny, and I don't find this guy funny either. You find him entertaining for "political reasons", not because anythng he says is objectively funny.

Sorry to burst your bubble.
