Comedians bemoan woke state as they honor Adam Sandler

Comedians from around the world are bemoaning the so-called “woke” state of the comedy world as they honor Adam Sandler at the 2020 MTV Movie & TV Awards.

The actor, who is known for his often silly and lighthearted comedy, was honored with the Generation Award, which is given to someone who has made a significant impact on pop culture.

In his acceptance speech, Sandler thanked his fans for supporting his “dumb” comedy and joked that he was grateful that they still watch his movies despite the “woke police” disapproving of them.

Sandler's speech seemed to resonate with fellow comedians, many of whom have expressed their frustrations with the current state of comedy.

In recent years, comedy has become increasingly politicised, with some comedians accused of being too “woke” or too “edgy”.

This has led to some comedians feeling like they need to self-censor in order to avoid offending anyone.

However, Sandler's speech was a reminder that comedy should not be about following the latest trends, but about making people laugh.

Sandler's speech was seen as a rallying cry for comedians who are tired of the “woke police” and want to bring back the fun and silliness that has been missing from comedy in recent years.

The awards ceremony was a reminder that comedy should not be a battleground for people to express their political views, but a place where people can come together to laugh and enjoy themselves.
