Forgetting Bill Maher is always a blessing. I do it all the time, only to be ripped bloody back to reality when he’s trending for saying something racist or bigoted

I struggle to see John Mulaney in the point you’re making here. 95% of his jokes are observational bits about weird people and incidents in his life. He did one topical bit about Trump getting elected; when else was he specifically playing to his audience?

It’s the same as when someone says, “I have a right to do/say this!” They’re always being an asshole. You never have to tell anyone you have a right to say or do something if you aren’t currently being an asshole.

I cannot recall the last time someone said we should be allowed to mock anyone and proceeds to mock nazis, racists, billionares, anything along those lines.  Nah its just the poor or LGBTQ+ people or the youth.  I swear an AI could do this job its that formulaic. 

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…

This is the basic problem with aging as an “edgy” comic. Edginess doesn’t age well in general, but when you’re young, you’re usually taking on the old sacred cows and loosely arguing for a new way of looking at things that can be interesting and thought-provoking even if you’re ultimately wrong. Almost all aging…

Sigh....I have had dreams about a WWZ series.

I had seen WWZ movie and then had absolutely no interest in reading the book (and was getting a bit burnt out on zombie stuff at that time anyway)— until someone whose opinion I trust told me that the movie is almost entirely unrelated to the book AND that the book was unlike any other zombie book. They weren’t wrong.

An accurate adaptation of World War Z would be so much more entertaining. Todd Wanio’s tales, the feral redhead’s chilling-ass recounting of her parents deaths, the Chinese sub...any ONE of those stories would have made a better movie than whatever bullshit Brad Pitt produced.

It might be good, but hard to fill the shoes belonging to Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings...

I mean...[gestures at everything]

yeah! don’t these clowns know they’re supposed to dance for our amusement until the end of time? dance, monkeys! dance!

I watched it and I’m still sort of in the “but HOW” space, mostly because I’ve never seen anyone with such a perfect intersection of “punchable face/zero charisma” than Jeff Ayan. He looks more like an incel guru (I assume those exist). Say what you want about Charles Manson or Jim Jones, at least those guys had a…

Jeff Ayan has an extremely punch-able face.

As someone who can pretty easily go 8-10 waking hours without peeing...

Jimmy Savile is undoubtedly a predator, but you’re painting with a broad brush. There’s plenty of “wacky” and “weird” people who aren’t evil sickos. The way you’re going on makes it seem like anyone who doesn’t conform rigidly to mainstream norms or is a horror fan is bad, which is a dangerous viewpoint as the other…

wow much to think about thanks tipper gore

Hahaha, this sort of reminded me of that Python bit about the British navy:

The actor that played Young Brownie was amazing. He got the mannerisms down but he nailed the voice so much that I’m halfway thinking they dubbed in the modern day Brownie’s voice. Young Bucky was aces too.
