I think comedy ages worse than just about every other genre of entertainment, and that’s something to keep in mind.

aight cool. same.

and somehow, these people will never see the irony in how they accuse other people of thinking they’re “entitled” to things.

WHY DO YOU HATE THE FIRST AMENDMENT, PAUL? WHICH IS CLEARLY RELEVANT IN THIS SITUATION OF A PRIVATE CORPORATION NOT HIRING A LIABILITY?

And, sadly, will likely have a stand-up special in 6 months with a name like “Triggered” or “Not a Safe Space” or something.

Oh absolutely. Comedy in general tends to be a form that ages very, very quickly.

I always tip on delivery, of course, but I don’t do it based on percentage of the bill like I would at a restaurant.

I don’t really know anything about Shane Gillis beyond what I’ve seen in the last day, so I’ll cop to that.

Yeah, that’s...kinda the thing.

The think that made Blazing Saddles work is that the slurs served a purpose, and the comedy was never punching down (well, there was some homophobic stuff there that was not handled well).

I worked in fast food for about 8 years. Had several bosses. Most I can say is that there was one who would look at the ticket time and get pissy but if you were generally a solid worker and had a good explanation, that was enough.

That’s fair.

I know, right? John Mulaney + Nasim Pedrad should have been a winning combo!

If anything, treating your opponents as buffoons blinds you to the reality that they are just as intelligent, just as capable, and just as dangerous as you are.

so long as John Mulaney is doing it and it’s not a sitcom, I’m down.

I’m sorry, but it would take the biggest asshole in the world to fire someone because they had to slow down a little bit for a deaf person.

did...um...did they call the drum a leg? I mean, they called the flat the “wing”, I guess, but...eh?

I mean...I don’t think he started mocking a deaf person because he was just worried about his order time. Doubt that sped up the order.

did this in any way speed up the process for him? I don’t think so.

Yeah, it won’t be the first and it won’t be the last. And if you want to say that part of the problem is low pay and high pressure, yeah, I’ll agree with you on that to an extent.
