My wife, whose grandfather survived a camp by escaping and her grandmother who ran with the Bielski’s, said “he went too far” with that sketch. I agree with her.

Sometimes the crowd is wrong. Given what the SNL crowd laughs at, it is very likely to be a wrong crowd.

Sorry guys, I found that joke funny. I’m a real asshole. I personally found that joke more at Larry David’s expense than anyone else, and think that Neo-Nazi’s and white supremacists are pieces of shit who I have protested before, but I guess I should pack it in and admit I’m a jerk because I liked a joke.

I would happily watch Brothers Solomon again any time. Well, it would have to be a weekend afternoon when I have a massive hangover, but that’s a common enough occurance.

When it came out I thought it was just trying to cash in on the wacky brothers craze started by Brothers Solomon.

i’m glad we didn’t get this. step brothers is one of the best comedies of the last 10 years, potentially ever made.

Step Brothers is the shit - a huge improvement over every previous Will Ferrell comedy. I was shocked that it was as good as it was when I saw it.

He is right to hold Step Brothers in high regard, it is a comic masterpiece.

That I hadn’t heard. That’s... yeah, that’s unfortunate. My first kiss was horrifically awkward - and with someone I wasn’t particularly interested in, full disclosure - but at least it’s not immortalized on film. But I don’t think we need to pillory Mitchell Hurwitz, or whomever directed that ep, as a result.

I’m ashamed that I clicked on this. Were you ever fifteen, Barsanti? I was uncomfortable all the time when I was fifteen, and I wasn’t on a hugely successful TV show at the time.

Keep in mind I’m saying this as a liberal, but us liberals really need to lighten the fuck up. I just knew after that monologue there would be obnoxious liberals whining about it.

The monologue half-worked for me, mostly on the meta-level of imagining the whole thing as a “Curb” scenario.

I’ve started to call it “competitive liberalism” and I feel like it can definitely kill creativity

I don’t get it either. The entertainment media used to be able to hear a joke about an edgy topic and know who it was actually directed at. Now it seems like they’ve gone into “concerned conservative parent” mode where the default stance is “X is very serious, there’s no place for making any jokes about X”.

He wrote an episode of network television about making out during Shcindlers list almost a quarter century ago. Its like the world suddenly forgot who Larry David is. The joke isn’t “boy the holocaust sure is funny” its about lechery trumping tact told by a man whose relatives were murdered by nazis. Its odd to me so…

And it’s not like he was making fun of the Holocaust or its victims, or anything. Every joke was at his own expense.

Agreed. I’m surprised the reviewer thought it was offensive, or doing that faux-edgy “look at me I’m saying taboo things that automatically makes me a dangerous rebel and you’re just too politically-correct to handle it!” thing that I despise and will always call out. It didn’t seem that way at all to me. Just kind of…

If you forced every guy in the world to admit to doing or saying things around women that could be considered inappropriate...

None of these guys come out of this particularly well. I can only give some credit to Baldwin and Tarantino for at least coming clean and saying they fucked up, which is a start, I suppose.

When it takes Alec Baldwin of all people to give us a lesson in humility, we know the mankind is truly fucked.
