He was FUNNY

The thing about fuckers like Gervais, Chapelle, John Cleese, Rob Schneider, Tim Allen, and others that are always spouting this bullshit about “cancel culture” and “wokeness”, is that their whole schtick is “We should be allowed to joke and mock anything, everything, all the things, without limits”. And then they the…

I honestly just think Gervais cannot help himself. He wants to belong so bad. He wants to be liked with every fiber of his being. But he also resents his own neediness and the objects of that neediness (Hollywood, celebs, etc.). I think Extras is almost more instructive than The Office. Extras put on display Gervais’…

I demand that everytime someone praises the Office or Extras they strongly note Stephan Merchants writing.  Everything Gervais writes that Merchant isn't involved with is notably shittier.

Rickles was actually clever and funny.

“How can I hate women when me own mum’s one?”

Let’s ask the victim which HE thinks it is.

Beyond the people in the room, yes. The morning after, reddit and facebook were falling over themselves to praise him for showing those Hollywood bigwigs what’s what. Heck, Tom Hanks’ grimace was the thumbnail for the very popular youtube clip of the monologue.

The person Garvais reminds me of more than anyone these days is Finch, the ultimate villain of ‘The Office’. A pseudo-intellectual thug who expects everyone to find him funny and charmingly transgressive, then retaliates with cruelty if they don’t.

Heck, when the black employee says he knows what joke Brent is telling, Brent backtracks and shames the employee for making the joke. Brent helps steal Tim’s shoes and throw them on a pub. He witnesses his employees pantsing another employee and starts cackling “tickle him! Tickle him!”

He wasn’t exactly a villain; he didn’t make crass and racist jokes because he was ideologically driven. David Brent tells jokes because he just wants people to like him, and he often knows when he’s crossing a line.

People were so laudatory of his Golden Globes monologue a few years back, treating his digs at streaming services (which he works with) like some huge truth-to-power moment; as though he hadn’t been invited and the monologue certainly vetted by the network beforehand.

Genuinely honored to see my 2014 high school Head of the Charles fuckup immortalized in an AV Club article lmao

“Yes, Nanaue.” “HAAAND” “Yes, Nanaue, that is your hand. Very good.”

She’s a woman, therefore paid $0.80 on the dollar, so it evens out...

Ironic that Shazaam, being so lighthearted and fun overall, had one of the darker single scenes in the entire DCEU. Seriously that Board Room/ Sivana scene in Shazaam is DAAAAARK. It’s like how Spiderman 2 momentarily becomes an 80s style Raimi horror movie, except somehow even scarier.

Give me The Schneiderverse, or get thee the eff OUT!

Looking at the hit/miss list, the lesson I see most clearly is “enough with the grimdark”.

How can two guys and a girl even afford a pizza place in this economy?
