Too many conservatives seem to only laugh raucously when humor is used for the purpose of belittling and hurting others, especially when it contains misogynistic or racist content. Sorry if that comes out sounding like a generalization, but it's a perception I've developed from watching some of the crude comments and postings they put on their social media and FB pages. This guy was just pontificating, not not really parodying, which is the biggest humor tool that The Daily Show and The Colbert Report utilize.
