@avclub-3f5380bb675dc58c512ecc65878e3e14:disqus Paul McCartney is a very talented musician and one of the all-time great bassists. I prefer George's musicality because he had a style that was very efficient, spare yet technical. He never played his parts in excess - it's almost like every note was carefully curated

George is the best musician of the group, hands down. What's truly foolish is that pretty much everyone glosses over their earliest records. They are economical, efficient and play much darker today compared to the "innocence" of Beatlemania. Seriously, pretty much all of their "love" songs are like Blue Velvet:

"TV on the Radio, that's all you're looking for!"

I'm not sure if Jeselnik is completely expert at his craft - he looks like he's got 5,000 hours under his

"Wolf Like Me" is one of the best tunes from Cookie Mountain. But pound for pound, DLZ gets my vote as their very best song, ever. It probably helps that it made a bad-ass moment on Breaking Bad seem even badder (bad assier? badder asser?).

Yeah, this bit sort of crossed a line for me. It made me question what I signed up for and whether or not I should re-program my PVR. That said, the show came out on top in the end. Maybe chalk it up to finding a decent balance between snuff and entertainment?

I think you meant ON…

It seems like you're experiencing his routine as it was intended. In the AV Club review of Caligula, Jeselnik is referred to as (paraphrasing) the Patrick Bateman of comedy. Counterbalancing the unlikability factor sort of defeats the purpose.

Jeselnik's hit-to-miss ratio is higher than most "shock" comics because you can see there's a trace of wit and intelligence underneath the viscera. It's more challenging than it seems to combine religion, rape, incest and poor handiwork into a single line that still ends up being perversely funny.

You forgot your mom. And Wilco.

It also explains the fascination with "rape shredding".

It is objectively wrong to diminish the suffering of the Jewish population for the sake of recognizing non-Jewish victims. Suggesting that Jewish people "won" the Holocaust is just plain crazy - it's not a sentiment that anyone can or should take seriously. The reason so many people focus on Jewish victims from the

The only thing unjust would be your hospital bill.

Plus Jeselnik tells the kids to go read a book, so at least there's a message in there.

I'm pretty sure he understands why he's an asshole. The point is that he doesn't want you to like him. I feel like I'm still on the fence with regard to Jeselnik's comedy. On the one hand it makes me laugh, and on the other hand it makes me laugh.

The panel thing comes off as an inside joke. Based on a recent interview on AV Club, Jeselnik said the Comedy Central producers wanted more of the show to focus on the panel and less on the other bits.

That Jeselnik, always breaking down social norms.

@avclub-0c4eda39c04c2b0566526710ddfa7dad:disqus The guy has brain damage, give him a break! Sheesh! It was pretty funny when Jeselnik asked Miller to cool it on the rape jokes.

I missed the first episode but I would have expected a better show with Schumer (currently dating Jeselnik) and Ansari. I think the funniest episode was with John Mulaney and T. J. Miller. Mulaney had some good lines regarding his tweet:
