That's cray; he's totally who I was thinking of too, when I read it. Him, and a humanized Foghorn Leghorn. Which he basically is, anyway. 

@avclub-45d15693cb729fefc030a41d117da9c1:disqus Yeah. I work in film, and I am pretty wary of this 48fps thing. Stuff shot in that frame rate usually looks pretty chintzy and soap opera-y. We want our films to be beautiful, not realistic.

@avclub-e576423831e043f7928d9ac113abbe6f:disqus Well, yeah, he's obviously the worst. It's just really hard to find a comedian whose schtick I find truly offensive, as opposed to just fucking stupid. Dunham's one of the few. (While also being just fucking stupid, of course.)

Never happened. Of course, the debate…
