Yeah but is that really Mulaney’s fault? Maybe you are just a humorless person in general. Or maybe you just don’t relate to him. Honestly his “I’m married with a dog I think is a child” bits didn’t appeal to me much because I can’t really stand people who think their pets are the same as having kids. But his…

There are only around 3k billionaires in the world so we’d only need 600 badly made submarines.

I’ve known more than my share of junkies and most of it rung true, just if the person had access to far more funds than normal.

“wish for billionaires to grow hearts and distribute the wealth”

You don’t got to say anything, guy who only ever says incredibly dumb things.

Although the Chappelle thing is more zeitgeisty at the moment, I definitely think that line is referring to the backlash against him divorcing his wife, which was way, way overblown in certain corners of the Internet. It’s what fundamentally broke his supposed “likable guy” image, which he also references in that set.

Deleting you as usual Electric Sheep. Not intereted in your views. There’s something amiss with you; you can’t even remember all of the comenters you’’ve shat on. 

That isn’t true at all. Not withstanding some mixed-fortune coming into my life a few years ago (both of my parents died within a week and I inherited enough money to buy a house, but it’s a complicated situation and I pay $1,700/mo rent), I still live a very low income life (about $27,000/year) and though I don’t go…

Lava is a drug from Hell.

Knock-knock!

First of all, what an incredibly offensive generalization to make about an entire continent. Second, the vast majority of Americans have an income/net worth that is considerably closer to that of an impoverished person in the developing world than to that of a billionaire. 

I mean, I saw the routine and laughed at this bit, so I guess I was “hooked,” but the bit wasn’t framed as “here’s a humbling experience that helped me learn and become a better person” so much as “here’s a colossally stupid and fucked up thing I did. Full stop.” He’s a stand up, and talking about (an admittedly…

What’s he done that would get him cancelled? Well, other than Mulaney.

Or you could…you know…cease and desist from being a bit of a bellend?? 

Just stop harassing people, man

You haven’t known loneliness, Bread, until you’ve been in the east wing of your mansion and don’t know which of your seventeen bathrooms in the north wing your wife is banging Eduardo the poolboy in.

Is this how rich white entertainers hook audiences now? By confessing how their excesses humbled them?

He talks about that in the special.

The lesson I’m taking from this story is: if I buy a load of drugs, find a landlord and get him hooked, I might actually be able to own property one day.

I found the ending of that show oddly uplifting. Mulaney saying he’d gone through so much shit that it had essentially cured him of caring what other people think of him. Or, as he memorably puts it, “You’ll cancel John Mulaney? I’ll kill him!”
