I just thought they were actual talking about her metaphorically big head.

I’ve worked under two CEOs in my life, one a female and one and male. They were both ego-maniacal crazy people. Anyone have a really great CEO to talk about?

I feel like if you were a human woman you wouldn’t ask that question.

Sounds like it’s more a critique of her unprofessional behaviour, in which her metaphoric “big head” may also have played a part

That is certain the intent, but the way Joss leaves it at the end showing her flashing back to the ward after she was “cured” and the psychiatrist saying “she’s gone.” It just seemed like he wanted you to doubt which is the real world.

I’m so glad The Zeppo is mentioned here as a fave episode, because I really think it’s genius. The whole show is based on the premise of taking the blonde damsel in distress and turning her into a badass superhero. So then to take a TV trope like the Zeppo/Generic guy, and give him a sidequest really gives shape to a…

Boy you are not ready to hear about lesbians.

Ick, actually I thought the Beyoncé self titled album was all about a woman saying she wants to fuck without it being about the male gaze. Very gross, very dumb.

I’m just wondering if this was taken out of context bc 2014 was when Beyonce’s self-titled album came out. I saw that album as the first time she solidly was making songs/videos about her sexual liberation totally separate from the male gaze. And she may previously not made that distinction. So maybe Emma was…

I guess I don’t know of any cases besides this one, would love to hear. As I mentioned I have seen small instances ie jimmy kimmel stealing from Tina fey

I really don’t care, her standup is unoriginal to begin with.

I didn’t make any joke, about my race or any one elses.

You must not like comedy very much. Joking about race is pretty universal for all non-white comics.

Sorry which was?

It was good, but if you haven’t seen New in Town yet, you really really need to. Comeback Kid just doesn’t stand out to me.

I have seen some “evidence” that she stole a jokes, but the jokes aren’t really that original to begin with. I also don’t think “stealing” occurs in the traditional sense, no comic is going to watch another comic’s standup and think “oh yeah I’m going to do that too.” Comics use what they hear and talk about with…

I LOVE her, all her albums are genius, but I also recognize that a lot of people don’t get her comedy. It’s too subversive for some.

Having a good comedy special is tough! Aziz has only had 1 MAYBE 2 overall really great specials. John Mulaney had one of my favourite specials ever with New in Town, but his other specials are lackluster.

Her standup is fine. She gets a lot of shit for stealing jokes, but that just happens in comedy, especially TV special comedy. Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars basically “stole” a joke from Tina Fey at the Golden Globes about actresses losing weight for films. I really really liked Trainwreck and her 12 Angry Men episode on…

I normally like the Roots renditions of songs with kid instruments, but that really was a piece of crap.
