I think they are funnier if you share their exact politics AND you give yourself and others grace for being an older GenX-er who finds mean/insulting humor hilarious.

I think the people who don’t enjoy them either don’t share their liberal worldview or, if they do, they don’t like the way they still use biting sarcasm and put-down type humor in a manner that was completely normal in the 90s early 2000s but is not at all “acceptable” as humor now.

Curious to know whether OP feels that my theory nailed that explanation of why their humor doesn’t resonate with her…. [/quote]

I liked Amy on  "Parks and Recreation." I've never seen any stand-up of hers.  Amy is funnier to me than Tina. I find Tina very one-note with being cutting and snark. I've only seen one episode of 30 Rock. It bothered me when she did that stupid Sarah Palin impression about seeing Russia from her house. That makes no sense given the size of Alaska. Plus, Palin never said that. Yet Fey seemed so smug and satisfied with herself. All she is is smug.

I find Kristen Wiig 100 times funnier than either of these two.[/quote]
no, Fey didn't plagiarize Palin's words, she did with them what comedians do.

interviewer Charles Gibson asked Palin what insight she had gained from living so close to Russia, and she responded: "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."[/quote]

Well that certainly clarifies the " hilarity."[/quote]
