Nicht nur Blondinen- oder Ostfriesenwitze funktionieren durch Stereotype, sie gehen auf Kosten einer Gruppe bestimmter Menschen. Während das scheinbar vor 20 oder 30 Jahren niemanden störte, werden heute Witze, Satire und Humor sehr schnell sehr kritisch betrachtet. Haben wir heute weniger zu lachen, ist es nicht mehr ok, sich über andere lustig zu machen? Wer entscheidet, was beleidigend oder diskriminierend ist? Kann und muss Humor überhaupt neutral sein? Wie gehen Comedians mit der sensibleren öffentlichen Betrachtung um? Diesen Fragen gehen wir nach im Gespräch mit dem Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftler Uwe Wirth, mit der Kabarettistin und Autorin Teresa Reichl, mit dem Physiker und Kabarettisten Vince Ebert und der Leiterin der Caricatura Kassel Saskia Wagner. Podcast-Tipp: WDR 5 Satire Deluxe Axel Naumer und Henning Bornemann bieten dem Wahnsinn der Woche die Stirn. Mit bissigem Humor kommentieren sie die lustigsten und skurrilsten O-Töne der Polit-Prominenz. Dazu serviert das Deluxe-Team satirische Sketche und Comedies.

In this episode of the Mo News Podcast, producer Sari Soffer Sukenik sits down with Sophie Gilbert, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of her new book, Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves. Sophie reflects on the pop culture of the '90s and 2000s — the rom-com boom, the teen sex comedies, the rise of the “cool girl,” and the commercialization of “girl power” — and how these cultural touchstones shaped millennial women's self-image, relationships, and ambitions. The conversation ranges from Spice Girls to American Pie, from rom-com nostalgia to the cultural legacy of #MeToo, and from Janet Jackson's Superbowl wardrobe malfunction to Instagram's double-edged impact. Sophie argues for a more mindful relationship with the media we consume—and what it means to raise the next generation with awareness of how culture shapes us all.

JD and Rachel cover everything this week — from walking out of a fitness class in shame, to neighbors plotting coyote revenge, to nightmare fuel inside the sauna (think corn shavings, wet shoes, and way too much confidence). Plus: pickleball + PMS science, cold plunge flexes, awkward locker room encounters, and a debate about the greatest classic comedies. It's messy, it's TMI, it's Patreon-only.

Comedies nowadays in 2025 don't have a theatrical opening, they mostly go straight to streaming, but in the 90s, they were a main event! There was a huge comedy boom mid-90s, and Dumb and Dumber was a spectacle! A spectacle Alain never saw until now! Hopefully someday soon, especially with the popularity of The Naked Gun (2025), comedies will debut in theatres once more! Enjoy!

I asked David Poland (read his Substack!) to come on this week to pick his brain about the state of the big studio comedy, a genre that has diminished in recent years as international grosses became more important and a lot of comedy releases shifted to streaming in an effort to reduce advertising costs. Which led to us talking about the states of various genres (including horror and superhero pictures) as well as the state of play around the world. If you learned something this week, I hope you share this episode with a friend!
