The problem is that right wing jokes aren't funny. The right is delicate and gets butt hurt by left wing humour. Lacking critical thinking skills they assume that humour just involves hurting the other side, since they are hurt, and therefor just try to hurt the left and end up coming off as humorless dolts.

It's funny because it's so absurd. This meme isn't meant as a right-wing meme, but as a left-wing (or actually more a "reasonable people") meme. The PragerU image is making fun of "leftists" in such a dumb way that you can really only laugh at it. Honestly I'm having a hard time believing this is something they really posted.

Like when a comedian tries to ~~much~~ mock somebody else and the jokes are so stupid everybody's just laughing at the comedian
