why have we regressed into trying to enforce gender roles all over again. we are meant to be equals. “the role was assigned to them and they hate it” yes? just like women’s gender roles were assigned to us and we hate it too. wtf is everyone on!

i don’t think men actually want to be providers. I think the role was assigned to them and they actually hate it. I don’t think they want to protect or provide anything.

I just don’t believe you’re a real comedian if you don’t say stuff that you know will piss off your target demographic every once in a while. You gotta get out there and remind them that you are not an influencer, you are a clown

I’m sorry comedian Shane Gillis said you dress like a whore in his comedy set. The head of the department of defense has unjokingly called me a tranny in 4 separate public speeches in the last few months, so I think we’re going through similar things right now

The Shane Gillis controversy looks like the most manufactured outrage I've ever seen. Like someone wanted to be angry ahead of time about whatever he said and that's the best they could do.

I just think that if we’re going to make society more progressive it’s not gonna start with stand-up comedy

People are mad at Digger because it makes fun of irony-poisoned trust fund kids who attempt to absolve their ruling class guilt (and preserve their elite social status) by doing a heckin’ satire

I don't agree with the "Digger hates its own audience" take at all it's very specific in who it hates: the kind of people who think that watching a movie is activism

you know Australian media is an industry comprised of incredibly midwit dullards because almost every Aussie journalist loves the work of Aaron Sorkin, the world’s lamest pervert

It's almost like "anti-comedy".....is COMEDY

The only folks who know how to satirize bad comedy are actual comedians. It's like when you see Tim Heidecker copycats who "intentionally" bomb, not understanding Heidecker knows the ins and outs of bad comedy because he's been in comedy forever. You're just doing bad comedy

There's something compelling to me how Clay still tries to keep up the "Father Knows Best" persona despite it being fully incomprehensible at this point You can argue his speeches have always been nonsense but it's extra potent now that Orel isn't blindly eating it up

this goes for all those aughts critics of Tim and Eric too. the presence of humor + the presence of strange people does not = making fun of people. tho, if I've gained anything in worldly wisdom in the interim: some people inherently get this and those who don't aren't going to.

when people find John Wilson mean spirited, I feel like the call is coming from inside the house. you can laugh at the absurdity of humans without automatically looking down on them

It takes a pretty hard line stance on the impotence and trite nature of satire and has a general disdain for political art as anything other than catharsis and escapism, which amounts to a declaration of war for people who believe their work in those arenas is transformative

Have not seen Digger but so far I've seen reviews calling it: -a hate letter to cinema -an attack on Aaron Sorkin's filmography -2026's Eddington -Not made for Americans I have no choice but to see what the hell this thing is

I think it kinda says a lot about our content-addicted society that people take “Hey, it’s probably bad to turn something as serious as catching child predators into content for TV” to be pro-child predator

if you think that primetime is pro-pedophile propaganda— like, that’s your actual assessment of what that film is trying to communicate— you will genuinely believe anything anyone tells you. an ingenius litmus test of our time
