Funny, I saw an old HBO special of his (maybe his first one?) and thought it was pretty dreadful - lots of Bill Mahr-esque "religion is for idiots!" jokes and short on the punchlines.

I'm noticing reviews of standup specials and comedies are giving away a lot more jokes. Can we cut it down to like 300 words and not print a bunch of the jokes in the special going forward? That "I'm not just talking about the cops" bit sounds funny, but the way you described it I can now picture Cross doing the bit…

Those tweets sure are adjacent to humor

Yo Joshua - it's all about Passionfruit. Strap the fuck in, you're in for the ride of your life.

No, I don't think that's possible. Heisenberg wears a hat.

Also, not a TV series, but Todd Solondz movies

Entourage is kind of like Glamour Profession seen through the lens of someone incapable of sensing irony

This is the type of stuff all GJI articles should strive for IMO

What's happened to all the characters in It's Always Sunny, especially Dennis' serial killer tendencies and Mac being gay, is what happens to almost all comedies after a certain number of episodes, where characters become caricatures. Except in the Always Sunny universe it actually works.

I think a lot of people on Twitter in particular tend to falsely equate harsh criticism with "abuse" (especially journalists). But this was not one of those times. That was some ugly shit. And Leslie Jones is in her 40s and has only been well known for a couple years now, I can't imagine she was prepared for the…

Please go away.

I misunderstood. That's unprofessional if that's what she was doing … but I also don't really care, that's between her and her employer/colleagues.

So what? Why do white males on the internet* get so offended when someone brings up their race?

I saw the choice to make the guard slightly more sympathetic as a way to make the TV show more compelling and dramatic (and create the perfect storm for the cliffhanger at the end).

This is really good

WHATAMIAFUCKINGRETARDMAN

So how is this? I loved Eastbound and Down and Observe and Report, I am the type that finds Danny McBride hilarious almost all of the time and I more or less trust these guys implicitly. But the previews do not make this look great.
