Is Comedy Inherently Cynical?

by The Comedy Nerds on February 22, 2010

Conan said “don’t be cynical”.  That’s easy for him to say.  He’s got to host The Tonight Show and then got a check for a billion dollars to not host The Tonight Show.  What about the rest of us?  Comedy is so frequently about explaining how screwed up the world is that it seems only natural that all those godless angry comedians would be cynical.

cynical In this week’s podcast we determine if  comedians can avoid being cynical, explain why random eggs on the street make Dustin a better comedian and reveal who Dan’s not so secret man crush is.  Also, how cute is that puppy?  You can’t be cynical looking at the face.  Problem solved!
