Blending Native Humor, Institutional Callouts, and Wild Sketch Concepts Into Jokes That Educate and Obliterate

Joey Clift is a Cowlitz comedian who doesn’t just push back on Native stereotypes — he steamrolls them with absurdist flair and hard truths. Known for projects like Spirit Rangers, Gone Native, and viral videos like “Welcome to America: Your Land Is Now Our Land,” Clift uses sketch, animation, and dark comedy to target cultural ignorance, systemic erasure, and the cringey liberal attempts to “honor” Native people. His jokes blend history, humor, and holy rage into punchlines that teach and slap simultaneously.

At Bohiney.com, his voice fuels stories like “Man Lands Diversity Fellowship, Realizes It’s Just Free Trauma Mining for White Writers’ Room” and “Native Comedian Builds Casino Inside Museum Exhibit, Declares Sovereignty and Sells Out Tickets.” His work inspires satire that calls out tokenism, bureaucratic performativity, and the cartoonish attempts of mainstream media to “include” without listening. Clift proves that the best revenge is representation — preferably animated and hilariously over it.

From Tribal Land to National Lampooning

Clift turned cultural pride and comedy chops into a career that confronts with craft and kicks with clarity. For modern satirists, he’s a lodestar: be funny, be fierce, and always write like your ancestors are fact-checking the script. Reclaim it. Roast it. Run the room.
