If I recall first All in the Family episode premiered January 1971.
Makes it 50 years ago this month.
70s was big decade in social conditioning through humor.
Including Mash, Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda, Newhart on and on.
Continuing in 1980s with Cosby, Cheers etc
Interesting to think about now.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 38510887 Even people like George Carlin, who many think was on the side of the "little guy". Look how many people that he brainwashed (through humor) into rejecting God.
This incredibly cynical, foul-mouthed, people-hating, natural disaster loving atheist, who usually wore all black, did a masterful job with his intelligence and wit, to destroy the faith of MILLIONS.
Half the atheists I ever talk to quote this guy like he was some infallible guru of sorts.
But when you know the truth, you can see every twisting and distortion that comes out of his mouth.
But the reason that comedy is SOOOO effective at brainwashing people, is because people subconsciously associate the lies, with the good time they had while absorbing them.
Carlin was a demon in the flesh. Really intelligent, but then again, Satan is the most intelligent being ever created.
