ABSTRACT:This article examines the rise of right-wing comedy in American media, considering how an academic, economic, and cultural emphasis on left-liberal ironic humor over the last decade has obscured the emergence of conservative forms of televisual satire. The article does so by closely analyzing the industrial and formal traits of Fox News’ Watters’ World (2017–) and Adult Swim’s short-lived but controversial Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace (Cartoon Network, 2016). These programs mimic liberal televisual satire in form but use displaced abjection in order to further degrade already marginalized cultural groups. The right’s use of comedic forms heretofore associated with liberalism, we argue, presents an imminent threat to contemporary political discourse.
