In 2006, in the introduction to “Hokum,” an anthology of African American humor, Paul Beatty called out our pervasive lack of great comedy. “Everything is satirical. Not Mad magazine satirical but Orwellian dystopic,” he wrote. “Apart from the five minutes of weekly brilliance on Chappelle’s Show, the Onion newspaper, Sarah Silverman, and George Lopez, there isn’t much to laugh at these days.” Fifteen years later, we’re living the Orwellian satire with less humor than ever.
