    Even his tweet does not say "The Babylon Bee is good" he just said it's more likely to be funny than Colbert which is what his article explains the deeper reasoning behind. I'm not sure what the dunk is.

    Trump is funnier than Biden. Oh no I said something positive about Trump. Guess I'm dunked.

      And one can simply say that Colbert is not funny (which is frankly a stale point now) without comparing the Babylon Bee in a favorable light.

      It's pretty simple.

          "X is funnier than Y" is actually NOT a compliment because he wrapped it up in a bunch of other words, got it

            Yes that's how language works. "X is funnier than Y and that means it's the end of the world" is not a compliment. "Wow that person is prettier than a pile of dogshit" is not a compliment either.

              Those aren't even the same lol

              The premise of "X is funnier than Y" is implied to be true. Besides, the freaks at BB want the end times, anyway.

                "The Babylon Bee is funnier than Stephen Colbert and that's a sign of the end-times" is not a compliment unless you're being purposefully obtuse. You have to lop off half the sentence to interpret him as saying he enjoys the BB because it's funny.

                I'm not insulting your thread and saying you need to delete it. You don't have to defend the point so hard. The success or correctness of your posts don't determine your self-worth. It's just not a proper dunk.

                  Lmao

                  He could've just said "Colbert isn't funny" but yeah I guess this is cool too.
