The current default for “popular stand-up comedian” is basically doing several thinkpieces on stage, which results in high amounts of clapter and several actual thinkpieces about the performance. TJ Miller is the opposite of that, and I applaud him for it.

He literally trolls every interviewer for every article. I’m not sure when people will start catching on. It’s irritating! I’m not defending the lines he threw out there, I’m just figuratively pulling my hair out while metaphorically screaming HE’S TROLLING YOU IN REAL LIFE. IF YOU CAN SPOT A TROLL ONLINE, HOW CAN YOU…

Worked on the New York Magazine writer. Hell, it worked on this writer too. She’s falling all over herself to insult him, or, the character he’s playing, anyway.

Knowing a fair amount of comedians, this is exactly the case. Some of it is true and taken badly but almost all of it is in bit.

He frowns, then face-spritzes. I ask what the spray is, and he says, “It’s embarrassing for you that you don’t know.” (It is, according to the bottle, Evian Natural Mineral Water spray.)

everyone does realize that he just never turns off his Silicon Valley character, right? these are all Erlich Bachman lines.

Yea but there are better hills to die on. Price brought far more attention to this than if he had just kept his mouth shut in the first place. You gotta know when to pick your battles. Doing it over some random minor league rehab start is just LOL bad.

Yeah, fair enough. I didn’t mean to imply that Eckersley completely breezed through his career (because how many athletes do that), but I think it’s probably easy for MLB players who will never even approach his achievements in their careers to feel like it’s unfair for him to be “yuck”ing at their stat lines or…

It certainly makes Price look like an idiot.

Eck was a tremendously talented flamethrower when he first came up to the bigs. He is also a recovering alcoholic who got on the wagon after flaming out as a starter with the Cubs in the mid-80s. That’s one of the reasons he doesn’t do many road trips as a color commentator for the broadcasts; he wants to avoid the…

It’s a pretty bad joke, but unless your definition varies, it is in no way a case of “showing your ass.”

Aren’t they just trying to make a joke out of him tearing his shirt off and running all around the pitch, referencing the scene from Old School where Will Ferrell is streaking and running through the streets naked? He asks is wife “Do you think KFC is still open?” The intent seems pretty harmless in this case.

Come on people, this is embarrassing.

I was in the office on Tuesday and got to meet Jason Torchinsky for the first time IRL. When I was done totally fangirling out, we had a, like, 45-minute conversation about WD-40.

And then he dabbed?

Jake Paul is NOT planning on wising up lol, dude just doxxed Post Malone and is DEFINITELY going to jail for the, I don’t know, 5 crimes he’s recorded and uploaded to his channel in the past week alone?

*receives pink slips*

Tell me again why this is surprising to anyone?

There’s so many variables that go into this question. Like, does she make tzatziki? Is it good tzatziki? Do you already have the recipe? If not, do you know where she keeps it? And so on and so on....
