Very strong expletives 
In a lively and evidently irreverent performance at Aasif Mandvi’s All-Star Deportation Jamboree, comedian Lewis Black delivers a sharp and biting critique of Donald Trump's inner circle. This segment, humorously laced with profanity and strong opinions, showcases Black's unique style of political satire that many of his fans adore. Black opens his routine with a bold observation on the absurdity of current politics, suggesting that if this were a fictional narrative, it would be dismissed as unbelievable. He amusingly references Kellyanne Conway, questioning her existence with a line that resonates well with audiences: "Is she real? I'm not sure." He exemplifies Conway as the archetype of the manipulative figure one might expect to see in a high school drama, indicating the bizarre dynamics of Trump's cabinet. The comedian doesn’t shy from ribbing other notable figures like former Texas Governor Rick Perry, who, despite multiple unsuccessful presidential bids, opted to appear on “Dancing with the Stars.” This jab lands with both laughter and applause, reinforcing Black’s point about the questionable qualifications of political figures in the current administration. His humor is raw, pointed, and undeniably effective in underscoring the strangeness of contemporary politics. Notably, Black expresses his discomfort with Steve Bannon, not just for his politics but for his appearance, humorously likening him to the way he feels after a night of heavy drinking. His self-deprecating humor adds a layer of relatability, allowing the audience to connect deeply with his comedic observations about stress and identity. If you’re a fan of bold, no-holds-barred comedy that tackles the state of politics, this performance is a must-watch. It serves as an excellent example of how comedy can illuminate the absurdities surrounding current events while also providing some relief through laughter. Feel free to share your thoughts or other performances you’ve seen that tackle political humor! What are your favorite comedic takes on today’s political landscape?
