It’s quite possibly the best comedy pilot of all time. Most shows need a few episodes to really gel. Arrested Development was top notch from the start.

I watched The Whole Nine Yards with Willis recently and man, could Perry hold his own. He had the perfect fish out of water interactions with Bruce and Michael Clark Duncan and his affable natural charm was believable in the budding romance with Henstridge.

Because she’s an attentionwhore and we, as a species, shouldn’t just platform everybody. It draws out all the narcisists.

Well, personally speaking I’m more inclined to dislike someone who’s clearly exploiting people who have deepseated mental health problems than to dislike the people with those problems, so that’s probably part of it!

I think it’s time to stop reading Kotaku.

Alas, what a terrible moment in time to be literate.

This article, and the product it’s about, are dumb even by current GMG standards. Well done.

So so ridiculous.  Agree with others, the internet was a mistake.

It really cannot be said enough: the internet was a mistake. 

How many times are you gong to post this lazy, uninteresting, uninformed take? FFS

Whenever I get an Xbox pop-up while watching a show or movie (ie. “So-and-so is online”) my wife and I will joke that it’s an achievement based on whatever just happened in the thing we’re watching.

Oh my god again the idiots are out in full force with some form of “Comedian tells joke that’s fake, news at 11”.

I always get a chuckle when that happens on Playstation too. You’ll witness a tragic conclusion to a chapter, high drama, possibly a character death and “Ding!” Trophy pop “Ouch That Hurt! (Beat Chapter 4)" 

Yeah, I think the issue here is that most people expect a stand-up act to be embellished for the purpose of making it funnier, not to increase empathy for the speaker (except to the extent that it helps with the former goal) or as an attempt to offer critiques of real issues like racism and xenophobia.

I don’t really…

Can’t people see the difference between a comedian like Steven Wright who actually tells jokes that are funny in order to make the audience laugh, and a comedian like Hasan Minhaj who tells stories that aren’t funny in order to make the audience clap and nod in agreement? Don’t you think people would be understandably…

“Emotional truths” sounds a bit to me like “Alternative facts”.

He makes himself sound insincere. He seems to continually admit that he embellished the truth (like really, really, really embellished it, one might even consider these lies) without realizing that the problem is he’s embellishing the truth while presenting it as the actual truth.

This is an idiotic take.

That’s totally something a psycho would say.
