YES! Norm MacDonald Live was something I discovered by accident and watched them over and over. Her episode was great. I love that Norm will have on people the mainstream won’t touch. And he’s so smart, and thoughtful, and everyone just popping in to make “he’s not funny” comments don’t know the man’s work.

Norm MacDonald Live was BRILLIANT.

His Tweet said he didn’t defend them or their actions.

I still love that the Roseanne revival was chided for it’s right wing agenda when it was liberal, very liberal, like is Always was.

As someone who is a pretty big fan of Norm, his shtick is actually pretty thoughtful and intellectual. He has old school tendencies, and the “victims didn’t go through this” line was indeed, a bad remark, but he’s not some Larry the Cable Guy type.

I said that a long time ago. I told him I don’t agree with him often but that the “fuck off and die” shit people give him on here is ridiculous. Then I took a mental health sabbatical away from this place. Glad the internet mob doesn’t always win.

Yeah, that Dennis doll is still around. He’ll pop up again.

The AV Club is no longer slightly better than others when it comes to virtue signals. They are front and center. I used to get stereotyped as a MAGA for saying it, but others seem to be tiring of the “every bit of entertainment needs to be viewed through this societal lens” act.

I think Sam Barsanti and I have something in common: We’ve both never seen Last Man Standing. Actually, that probably goes for 90% of the people commenting here.

Very true. It’s not like it’s a topic they never dealt with.

I was surprised, because I know Ganz has been with Sunny for a bit, and is an EP this year, but her stuff never struck me as so on-the-nose. Plus, Sunny has touched on a lot of these topics before. This episode and the Boggs Reboot were just rough satire. The Boggs one, basically making Ghostbusters and Bridesmaids

Nope, it was an intentional mistake. It’s a call back to The Waitress is Getting Married, when Charlie can’t say it the word to his date and it comes out “full on rapist”.

This place has self righteous anger pretending to be integrity. I’ve been saying this for a while now. All AVC and these Kinja sites do is either adulate or slam celebrities. Shine a light on these people. Take a giant shit on these people. It’s played out. The horse is dead. They’re basically trying to tell people

And they always leave juuust enough of an out so that he's not a philanthropist. There was a safe word the girl could use, he just didn't think based on her Craigslist ad that she'd use it.

Also, he hammered home to Dee that she’s the only one that figured out how to escape. The look on her face that she, once again, is very much like her brother, horrified her in the hospital.

The social commentary in this episode was so blatant, played out and on the nose it felt like Sam Bee wrote it. Ganz has been a name I love seeing in the credits as an episode writer here and on Community, but this episode was just "men are toxic" to the point where the characters were in service to the message and

I actually know a few Chads in real life that are actually exceptional people. This Chad is not one of them. This Chad perpetuates the stereotype that Chads fucking suck.

The internet in general is now just a bunch of people with no empathy spewing hate and rage behind the safety of anonymity. I feel like people who say these things need to make themselves available to us in the real world. That way we can chime in with opinions on whether they actually have a soul, and if so, how

I would suggest you step out of your bubble and consider the possibility that other people exist, and that video games aren’t the main thing here, but I think everyone would prefer you stay in your bubble of wrongheaded fuckery and leave the rest of us humans alone.

This sentence wouldn’t have bothered me except it comes from Katie Rife, and she isn’t exactly known for picking her spots around here.
