Played out joke is played out. He could’ve just filed bankruptcy for G-Unit Records, which he owned. He’s obviously not bankrupt because he has a successful show on Starz that he’s an EP of. I am, however, deeply amused at how the AV Club’s commentariat fits in so well with the former Gawker sites, populated as it is…

He’s “bankrupt” and yet still richer than you, somehow. Now who’s the moron?

So the fact that you’re not interested in something automatically makes it a “really shitty show meant for teenagers”? Have you considered the fact that maybe you’re just out of touch with popular culture? It happens to a lot of people.

Dikachu is a regular commenter at The Avocado. Come on over.

Idiot lady commenter, heal thyself. 

I miss Dikachu, that dick-nosed son of a bitch.

He can enjoy his money AND offend anonymous internet commentators with his pretty middle of the road observations. He’s so rich he could probably actually be offensive, too.  But I get the sense that he’s too bored by everything to muster an authentically offensive take.

These people didn’t read the article. They just saw the headline and commented/upvoted the first comment they saw.

What did he say that was so bad? He actually seemed pretty reasonable here. Or did you not even read the article like most others that comment around here?

I’d kill myself if that was my phone

I call ‘em ‘burners’

I had a flip-phone once and, for a lark, I snapped it open in front of some friends and said, “Enterprise, two to beam up.” As I did, the screen broke off and flew into a bush.

welcome to hell. I’ve been a reluctant patron of the gawker network for years now. What ur saying is spot on. If you don’t 100 percent agree with the warped version of political correctness they worship, u will either have your comment go unpublished or scrutinized by a hive of PC bros desperate to outdo one another…

For once this can’t be blamed on the awfulness of the Gawker network, this is someone recognizing another regular from the pre-Kinja AV Club Disqus comments. And I recognize Black Mask from then as well, they have frequently said some ignorant or ugly shit on a lot of topics around here but they also occasionally have…

No one cares about your dick.

Sure, Kevin Smith tells her that she gives him a boner and we defend him. But I tell her she gives me a boner and she asks me how I got in her trunk.

Kinda hard to disagree with him though. She’s very beautiful.

Pretty haughty accusations for somebody who eats house cats.

I remember it was popular to rip on him at Gawker because his restaurant in Times Square got a bad review. Then the Gawker hive mind really set it. Most people kind of like him.

I think most of the “hate” doesn’t really engage with him as a TV host (or a chef, or a person), at this point fairly or (almost certainly) unfairly he’s a punchline because he’s a punchline and people love a safe target - something that “everyone” has said is okay to mock.
