I’m aware what the term ‘national treasure’ refers to - my point is that Katt Williams is definitely not it. As you say, I would think that term would apply to someone like Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Denzel, maybe Taylor Swift on the younger side.  Not a moderately successful medium-profile comedian.

“There’s no one better, realer, or funnier than Katt Williams. We all know and agree with this.”

Seeing people falling over themselves to praise a whack job with a long list of arrests in this article was pretty funny 

Was thinking “VinFast” was Vin Diesel’s twitter account.

Is Williams still getting into street fights with teenagers? IJS...

Vietnam is often pointed to as a more benign place to do business if you’re looking for low-ish wage labor in Asia. You know, without all the baggage of China with its wholesale persecution of huge numbers of minority populations and such. This is a neat reminder that Vietnam, despite having opened up to the world and…

That “national treasure” bit got me, I don’t know if that was the case when he was fist-fighting middle school students or missing shows because he was being arrested for the 100th time (having experienced one of his no-shows myself). This interview gave us a gloriously entertaining week without a doubt and I’m all…

I don’t quite understand the juxtaposition, either. Like...Katt got into some SHIT, back in the day.

Places like this essentially equate ‘funny’ to things I agree with. They’re staffed by people who go to watch comics that get ‘laughs’ of acknowledgement rather than genuine laughs of mirth.

Anytime someone tells you how happy they are, that they “laugh all day long,” and that the people they’re criticizing must be miserable, they’re lying about how happy they are.

I’m not even sure what the “corporate plant,” allegation means. Does he think it’s like The Manchurian Candidate? Some Hollywood execs, like, engaged in a conspiracy to have Kevin Hart . . . do standup comedy . . . so they could cast him in a movie? I’m having a hard time even articulating what Williams thinks…

Was this written by Katt Williams? Since when has B-list (at best) comedian Katt Williams been considered this national treasure of comedy?

Big 90’s Morning Zoo vibes.  “Whoa, Zipper, I don’t think you can say that!”  “Better stop me Chunk, because I’m feeling craaazzzeeeee!”

Was this written by ChatGPT?  Something about the tone and language feels not-quite-human.

Kind of funny that this article was placed adjacent to the Dave Chappelle article on the main page. Spent 5 minutes reading about how Chappelle has become a repetitive transphobic hack (which, ok, fair enough), then slid over here to read about how Katt Williams is a “national treasure” for giving an interview in…

“If he would have stopped, he would be with us today.”

This is very thoughtful and moving.

I always take the pickle off and eat it separately.  I also always feel ashamed.

When did Jalopnik become a political advocacy site? What’s next Andy, ACAB-merch for sale?

I’m not sure I’m buying into the “aw, he didn’t deserve to die” message here. He went north of 100 mph, blew red lights, broke myriad laws. As the yoots say, FAFO.
