Nor do I! But there’s nothing wrong with the format itself, which is my point.

*sigh* You brought up Chris Rock. Drop of Dumbass seems to think that *I* brought up Chris Rock in the context of Jo Koy and no, I didn’t. That was you. My point was that despite your attempt to parallel the situations because they’re both comedians who hosted high profile awards shows, the fallout of Rock’s situation…

And we’ve seen certain celebrities that shall go unnamed (coughJenniferLawrencecough) borderline shithoused after an awards show (more power to her, she’s a fun drunk) so it’s way more likely that Swift was just caught out by a camera op.

Yeah, he’s deeply *fine*. Most standups will tell at least a handful of jokes over their career that I will like. I’m a relatively easy sell as far as that goes. In this particular instance I find it weird that anyone would feel “cheated” if he hadn’t talked about the lack of response on the Globes. It is not unheard…

Why are you quoting “hate” at me? Where in any of my responses are you reading “hate” about this? Why do you think I should be doing open mic comedy about this? What the fuck are you talking about?

Hey asshole, Tyrannorabbit brought the fucking subject up, not me. If you want to talk about someone’s mental disability, start with them. And then throw your Mr. Peanut Butter ass in with them.

I’d feel ripped off if he didn’t address it, and at some length

Yeah, that’s fair. That’s me being sensitive to complaints about procedurals. There’s a bad attitude I find in a lot of pop culture writers, online commentariat, and certain pretentious baby writers towards procedurals. I think part of that is that a lot of “prestige” shows are serialized so the assumption is that…

There’s a difference between prescient and thought-provoking. And I would say that even the prescience is questionable. It’s not as though we hadn’t seen narratives about the dangers of AI before. POI was maybe more thorough and researched in its characterization of the AI elements but let’s not forget that The…

Are you seriously trying to draw a parallel between Chris Rock being physically assaulted on stage for his terrible joke (that he should have known better than to tell - assault is not the answer but also fuck him, he made a whole-ass documentary about black women’s hair) and Jo Koy not getting the laughs he thought…

I’m not going to make a federal case out of it or be a semanticist about “fucking weird”. I’ll just say that sentient AI and secret cabals/cults/government organizations are, in my experience of mainstream narrative, things I’ve seen before. KITT roamed the streets in 1982. The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes in 1969.…

Thank goodness I did some quick Googling and the Steve Holland associated with this... “material”... is not Savage Steve. Not that Disney and Nick shows are that much better, but still.

All the stars in the sky, you dad-joke bastard.

Who directs the pilot, Ari Aster or Lars Von Trier?

Is it?

Cool. Except he’s whining to people who paid money to see him deliver comedy, not engage in a group hug to soothe his bruised ego. Fuck him.

Bring it up all you want but don’t be a whiny baby about it. “They’re marshmallows”, says the living, breathing middle of a fucking S’mores.

And FWIW it’s not like he got NO laughs. He just (gasp!) didn’t get laughs from the targets of his jokes. I bet most comedy shows would seem awkward if the target of every comedian’s joke had a camera pointed at them for the punchline.

Wow. Before this I had no opinion about Jo Koy. I had enjoyed some bits of his and laughed, that’s about it. The more he pulls this crybaby shit the more I actively dislike him. STFU and take the loss. And is he THAT seriously unaware of how ironic it is for him to call people marshmallows and soft while being the…

Right? Imagine the lack of self-awareness to unironically call famous people marshmallows for not laughing at your jokes in front of a crowd who paid to be at your comedy show and then call that crowd “therapy”.
