Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

John Mulaney's stand-up special focuses on observational humor and personal anecdotes, not on identity politics or forced diversity. The narrative is cohesive and driven by classic stand-up structure without obvious ideological intrusion.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The special references family, marriage, religion, and traditional values in a light-hearted, sometimes irreverent tone. However, it doesn't undermine these institutions; instead, it mines them for relatable humor. No overt subversion of masculinity or cultural revisionism detected.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The special doesn’t push a particular social or political worldview. While Mulaney's perspective remains consistent throughout, there is no broad ideological preaching or caricaturing of alternative views. Humor is largely apolitical and accessible.
