The current state of comedy in Hollywood is the equivalent of a rotten corpse found four months after its death.

Humor in Hollywood is dead.

And I don’t mean dead in the sense that Jerry Seinfeld can’t perform stand-up at a college campus anymore,  I’m talking worms maggots and rigor mortis dead.  Over the last couple of years, Hollywood has given us a sea of films labeled comedies that have been pound-for-pound the worst movies of the entire year with no competition to take its title. 

A major factor in the death of Comedy has been the insert of progressive politics that has not only attempted to redefine what audiences find to be funny, but has produced abhorrent garbage that is only funny to those who have an AOC bumper sticker on the back of Ford Fiesta. Who here doesn’t remember great comedies of the last few years such as 2022’s Bros, or last year’s The Blackening, or a film called Dicks: The Musical where two brothers have sex and get married by a homosexual God? This is why Hollywood is insulting and labeling it as comedy. 

There is no better example of this than former Broad City Star Ilana Glazer. A star from a TV show that only found an audience among 30-year-old women who have the emotional maturity of a High School freshman who turned “Yaas Queen Slay”  into a personality type.

On the heels of a stand-up comedy special entitled “The Planet is Burning” Which was so bad that it made people want to apologize to Brendan Shaw for calling him a bad comedian, Ilana Glazer proved that her idea of Comedy is telling everyone that she is Progressive queer Jewish New York liberal and that is it. Apparently in 2024 simply mentioning the patriarchy in a stand-up set is supposed to draw laughs from other childless Progressive women in their late 30s because that’s what they identify with.  It is this redefinition of what comedy is that leads us to her latest film entitled Babes.

Babes is a comedy starring Glazer playing the role of Eden (very subtle) who is a single woman in her late 30s living in New York City and the closest thing to a real relationship she has in her life is with her best friend Dawn who despite being married with children, acts like Eden is the top priority in her life. One day Eden runs into a handsome black gentleman on the subway To the surprise of absolutely no one they go home to have a one-night stand and she discovers that she’s pregnant with his child.

Before eating has the chance to celebrate having a child at a wedlock,  the father of her child dies almost immediately leaving our child character as a single mother in New York. The film then becomes nearly 2 hours of jokes that don’t land with people who don’t watch Jimmy Kimmel every night as Eden develops a pseudo-relationship with her best friend rather than a healthy relationship with the father of her child because in 2024 heterosexuality is not allowed. 

As mentioned earlier Broad City was a television show about 30-year-old women acting like teenagers to entertain an audience that has the emotional maturity of a middle schooler.  this film is an hour and 30 minutes of that exact brand of comedy with the only difference being that now you have 40-year-old women doing the same shtick.

Babes is a film that is only relatable to the lowest common denominator of liberal feminist Society. Much like Ilana Glazer’s Stand-up special,  this experience is not made to entertain you or make you laugh this is a poorly veiled political lecture disguised as modern comedy. 

The entire purpose of this film is for Glazer to create a world where she’s in a pseudo-queer relationship with her best friend in New York City where everyone is steeped in and Progressive mindset and ideology as she gets assistance from her female friend to raise her biracial child.

The movie is about as subtle as modern late-night television, a format that just bashes you over the head with their worldview and expects everyone to clap and celebrate and beg for more. Babes is a film that should be the worst movie of the entire year,  because if there are three to five more movies that are worse than this not only is it over for audiences,  but Hollywood in general is totally cooked.
