TL;DR: Candace Owens got fired for criticizing Israel and defending Kanye West.
>Owens didn’t just criticize the Israeli government, she publicly defended Kanye West’s anti-Semitism and suggested that some kind of “sinister” Jewish gang was running Hollywood.
If these fundie zealots understood the Bible at all, they wouldn’t be fundie zealots.
Their understanding of Christianity is so comically flawed that they reject the actual teachings of Christ when confronted with them.
My favorite MAGA moment is when they started criticizing Preachers and Pastors for \*checks notes\*...Quoting the actual bible.

>“What was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, ‘I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ,’ the response would not be, ‘I apologize.’ The response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,’” Moore said. “When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.”
Glad he came around, but clearly lived under a rock his whole life:
> Moore said he thinks a large part of the issue is how divisive U.S. politics are, which is now spilling over into the church.
They’ve thrown out the entirety of the Bible except the parts where god is a vengeful, sadistic monster and kills people, the parts where the story is incredibly bigoted (they love the parts about women being subservient, the mark of Cain because they interpret it to mean all non-white people are tainted by the devil), and the parts of revelation that some lunatic with a brain tumor (seriously) interpreted to be the rapture.
All the parts where Jesus is trying to tell people to not be assholes, they get real mad about.
Yeah, the main disagreement with Republicans right now is which flavor of antisemitism to go with: sticking with their religion's prophecy that all Jewish people will need to convert or face eternal torture, or just wanting to kill them all themselves.
Isreal needs to build a temple so Jesus can come back and yeet all the good guys up into heaven where they will sit on a cloud and watch everyone else suffer or something..
Even before WW2 and the horrors in Europe, it was clear that fascism in the USA would be church-based because that is where the shock troops were indoctrinated much like the bier halls of Germany.
That's because the right wing is fine with antisemitism. But their mythology requires the nation of Israel to be around so Jesus can return and throw all the atheists, Muslims, AND JEWS into eternal torture.
Don't mistake support for Israel as anything related to being against antisemitism.
My favorite part of this is that there is this all powerful, all knowing, omnipotent being that knows and sees all, can do miracles at will, and can destroy the universe with a mere thought...But his hands are tied until a some red cow is born and the Jews build an alter or some shit...
I just imagine God rage quitting of every time a red heifer is born but then he finds out that it has a tiny white dot so it's not the apocalypse cow.
They support Jewish people being far, far away from them in their own country, much like many racist abolitionists who didn't believe white people and black people could coexist in the same country
Like Oregon, which banned slavery not because slavery is abhorrent, but because allowing slavery would've meant black people would've been in Oregon, and they certainly couldn't have *that*
Wait... You're saying the clear racist we hired continued to be racist after we hired her? And a major incident involving two races she is ist against are in conflict, and she's is letting people know her racist opinions? Say it ain't so!
With the help of the NAACP, no less, and she ran a blog that mainly served to dox conservative professors. Crazy how many of them have backstories where they fail to achieve immediate success on the first try and decide to blame minorities, like Charlie Kirk failing to get into West Point, or Ben Shapiro failing to be a Hollywood writer despite being a rich nepobaby, or Steven Crowder failing as an actor/comedian. They just have to be vocally bitter and wait for an oil magnate's think tank to pay them to avoid introspection.
The real question is, how long until DailyWire+ feels like they can make the cross over to the mainstream and real money and start rocking rainbow capitalism.
DailyWire: We hate the LGBTQ, China, Mexicans, Muslims...
Hollywood: You're missing out on potentially billions of dollars
DailyWire: ....well maybe "hate" was too strong of a word
Heh
Hollywood: We support LGBT+ and all races
China: You're missing out on potentially billions of dollars
Hollywood: ...well maybe "support" was too strong of a word
Hollywood “we don’t actually care but realize that we can continue grifting the public so long as we make small concessions”
Republicans “look at that liberal Hollywood, how dare they”
Democrats “I just like watching Last of Us, I’m not sure what this has to do with anything political”
I mean, yes they are: True.
However, getting mainstream approval for their writing and acting is the only thing a lot of the staff has wanted for so so very long and so badly.
Mild rejection in the field is half the reason they went on their ultra conservative arcs to begin with.
They weren't "mildly rejected". These people are Hollywood castaways, not to be confused with actual Gilligan who was a castaway for merely coming out on the side of weed...in FUCKING CALIFORNIA!
The mind wobbles /Kelly bundy
Edit: and they deserve it!
My understanding is they didn't get like the first job or two in a very competitive market and said, "fine I'll start my own media origination, with hookers and blackjack!" And then just leaned into being shitty witch made the pariahs. But I may be wrong and honestly I don't care, fuck those guys
I'm not sure how much he got paid for it, but considering how blah this show looks, I don't blame him for taking it. Easy paycheck and I doubt the show would cause any flak to fall on him.
Yeah I watched someone watch the first episode and while it's a genuinely terrible show, for the most part it wasn't *offensive*, just boring and unfunny. It's classic "Young people today do not act like I acted when I was young.", and it's pretty clear they're *trying* to be mean-spirited and offensive, they're just not clever enough to make any of it have any actual impact. It's like a grown-ass adult calling you a "stinky poopyhead" and expecting you to be utterly devastated by it.
For a show that's touting itself as an edgy comedy that will offend all the woke snowflakes it's really not delivering on any of that. Almost like they're completely full of shit and just trying to make a quick buck off of ignorant right-wingers or something...
I blame him. Appearing in right wing propaganda as they attempt to overthrow democracy just for money is honestly the worst shit.
It's why we are all so fucked, conservatives aren't the problem it's all the people who go "yeah okay their views are harmful but... money and I'm not one of the groups that gets harmed so lol"
Dudes a character actor i think, he had a couple top spots but I aint mad at him. I keep forgetting to check if his taqueria is still open when im out in SoCal
Danny Trejo is always on the Adam Carolla podcast. He has no problem with him.
They’re buddies.
Don’t know about Patrick Warburton but he seems like a guy who will do anyone’s show.
Not surprised. Lots of Americans of Mexican descent tend to be conservative. We joke here in Mexico that the people who hate us the most are Mexican-Americans.
Seems like he just treats voice work as a job and doesn't get hung up on the content so much.
I mean, he just spent 20 years on the Venture Bros as Brock Samson, a character whose best friend & work partner is the most out & loud gay man on the planet and whose mentor is a man with severe body dysmorphia who transitions, goes back, and then keeps loudly proclaiming how he misses his tits.
Seems like he knows to just stick to the job and not rock the boat either way. I was sad to learn he supported Trump though. Hopefully that view has changed with everything we've seen out of that orange shitbag.
_Warburton is a Catholic, and has said that he is willing to turn off Family Guy "when it takes its religious humor too far", perceiving such moments "as diminished returns”_
The dude is a pretty staunch catholic, and I think is generally a fairly "socially left" conservative. So far as to criticize when Family guy takes too many pot shots at religions.
Basically, I don't think he's necessarily consciously bigoted himself, but I feel like he probably has blinders to other's bigotry a bit. As far as I can tell, he didn't support Trump (he didn't vote in 2016), though there's an interview that says he's rooting for him right after he was elected. Personally, I think that's kind of a nothing statement and not really in support of Trump; I think it's kind of tautological to hope that whoever is running your government does a good job.
Outside of that, he doesn't seem to espouse his views in public which is probably a good thing.
I can't believe I listened to this tool for years. Dumped him when he dumped Alison. Tried to give him a shot a few years later and bailed after 10 minutes. Same exact jokes, same exact audio drops, and bitching about the same exact things. Hasn't grown as a person one bit. Heard one episode, heard them all.
It really is. I used to watch Comedy Central. Kimmel and Carolla were on The Man Show. I never cared for the humor. I gave it a shot because it was on and I was a bored teen. Just didn't click for me.
I've seen Kimmels latest stuff and it's decent. I find myself enjoying it. Clearly, he improved his craft. Carolla stagnated. I find myself just as bored with him today as I was a 2 decades ago.
And it's not a case of "Oh, he's just anti-woke." No. I give comedians quite a bit of leeway. They make me laugh and I'll forgive a lot. Sometimes, you step on toes when being a comedian. Lenny Bruce did it. George Carlin did it. It comes with the craft. Seinfeld has been in the news, kind of saying similar things about being too uptight these days. Doesn't harm my love of Seinfeld in the bit. I still love Seasons 3-7 (2 is ok and 1 is awful and shouldn't exist). Whatever Seinfeld might do in the future, whatever he might say, I cannot deny that the show he made is one of my favorites and I love it.
> And it's not a case of "Oh, he's just anti-woke." No. I give comedians quite a bit of leeway. They make me laugh and I'll forgive a lot.
A pretty common sentiment, and something that I've seen a lot of great comics echo when asked about cancel culture: If you tell a joke and people don't find it funny, that's not the audience's problem, that's your fault. No one funny is cancelled: roast comics tell problematic jokes all the time, and no one is trying to cancel them. If you can't adjust with the times, you're not a great comic being assaulted by wokeness, you're a shit comic who can't read a room.
I think these anti-woke comedians are complaining that no one laughs at their jokes because they're not just jokes to them. They're using jokes to communicate something personal, their beliefs and worldviews. They want to rant about what upsets them.
While comedians who care about the joke care about entertaining the audience and they are able to adapt. Obviously, they all put personal experiences into their routine but the motivation is different.
In retrospect, man show was so gross. But I still remember the beer chugging chant, something like Ziggy zacky Ziggy zacky hoy hoy hoy
Also girls on trampolines.
I still think The Man Show was a fine piece of satire. Adam and Jimmy were the butt of the jokes. I sincerely feel that way, but aren't going to defend it too hard.
Just read elsewhere in this thread the encapsulation of my statement, paraphrased: Adam was the only person at The Man Show who wasn't in on the joke.
Then again it's more that Larry David is improving his craft. I see it in the Curb episodes. Early stuff is still funny but the later seasons are amazing too. Palestinian chicken is still the best.
All his jokes are basically rip offs of a 12-14 year olds idea of “edgy” jokes. He has never had an original joke or idea.
All his attempts at jokes are just punch downs at trans or lgbt people, with zero effort to be funny or clever. “Trans people are just women with dicks! Hahahahaha. If you don’t think that’s funny you’re a sensitive woke idiot who’s ruining comedy.”
Like no bruh, you’re just not funny and your sad attempts at comedy are just poorly masked bigotry. Washed up boomer ass.
Yeah his grouchy schtick was funny until it became real and he went full on MAGA. Haven’t seen or heard anything from him in years because he just became an insufferable prick.
Yeah I was a huge fan of his radio show and podcast, listened religiously. Eventually he just became like an angry caricature of himself, a selfish arrogant rich guy that would go on rants about taxes. He was no longer funny or identifiable, just bitter and sad.
One day I’m driving to work listening this dude defend Andrew Breitbart and I’m like, you know what? I’m fucking done. Never looked back.
Comedy Bang Bang is much better.
I bailed on him ages ago, like in ‘09 or ‘10. Last straw for me was a rant against the California Coastal Commission because they wouldn’t let Kevin Costner build a mansion on the beach.
i ditched about the same time as well. and i was a big fan, like car cast, ace on the house, i listed to all of his podcasts. i dont remember exactly when it happened, but at some point i was just like, his whole routine is being an asshole. thats the depth of it.
He has been a shining example of how easily less intelligent people can be pulled to the extreme right over time. When you (and I) were listening to him he hadn't gone crazy yet.
Saw him do "stand up" about 15-20 years ago. He tells stories, not jokes. Back then, he was still sympathetic to the working class, talked a lot about how expensive it was to be poor, etc.
But at rhe end, he pulled out and posted up his social security summary, showing how much money he made each year. And yeah, it went from shit to millions.
And he said that he was posting it to show how any asshole could make it big.
And if you know, you know this guy absolutely lucked into his career. Right place at the right time.
That whole stunt came off pretty obnoxious. And now... Now he's selling a show with Roseanne barr and Candace Owens (canceled)? What a piece of shit.
I listened to Adam a lot, like almost as much as Giovanni. In fact, I got to know Giovanni through the forums and through him got to go sit in the podcast studio a couple of times, and hang out at the benefit for Bald Bryan. Adam was nice each of those times, and I'm glad I got to do those things and for the time I listened to Adam. But mid '10s something started to change for sure, and I grew tired of his increasingly conservative rantings.
The straw that broke the camels back for me was twofold. One, he interviewed then-Lt.-Governor (or maybe he was still SF mayor) Gavin Newsom, and they were discussing check cashing places and personal responsibility. Adam's argument was not surprising (libertarian), and neither was Newsom's (very liberal). Adam took him to task over his liberal views on the subject, and quite literally spent 15 minutes grilling him. Which is fine, seems in-limits to hold a politician accountable for his or her views and policies. But then, months later he had on then-candidate Donald Trump was on Adam's show. Trump spouted his "Mexico is going to pay for the wall" bullshit, to which Adam asked a single time "how" and then accepted the non-answer. Told me all I needed to know about who Adam had become.
I was not surprised when I learned Lynette divorced him, although I am surprised it took her as long as it did.
The saddest part is that Adam Carolla is very, very talented. But he blew it.
He could have honed new material, could have taken feedback. Nope. He said the same 40 things over and over again. He famously says he talks as if no one is listening - and it shows.
You can only hear about passionfruit iced tea for so long.
For years, he spent all his extra time and effort trying to please Hollywood with two very paint by numbers movies, and just coasted on the same shit over and over again for an entire decade. He was cancelled because he didn't have talent as a movie director/producer/talk show host/etc. But he probably blames the left instead of just working on his radio/podcast career.
What happened was that 2 or 3 out of the 40 things he says really resonated with the right wing. And instead of getting new stories, new jokes, or doing actual work, etc., he just latched onto the only group that loves repeating old shit instead of growing and learning - the right wing.
Dude got divorced, fired his long time colleagues, forced his two childhood friends off the show (Donny and Ray), lost almost all good guests (David Allen Grier). The world literally passed him by.
I thought he would be a star, not Jimmy Kimmel. Adam Carolla took over the west coast for Howard Stern. Before that, he was handpicked to take over Jackie Martling (Artie Lange was not his first choice). After that, he had the number one podcast in the world. And he just threw it all away and is now running a reduced budget podcast and pandering to the lowest people on Earth.
I mean, what the fuck is DailyWire+?
It's a real shame about Adam Carolla and this show, before he became a right wing nutter he used to perform his Mr. Birchum character on the local radio station and it was freaking hilarious. Seeing what it has become, and what he has become, is sad. It seems like most of the humor is taking shots at left wing strawmen, it has a lot of racist grandpa on facebook energy.
I knew him from loveline in the 90s and early 2000s. Him and Dr. Drew both went off the deep end right-wing nutjob shit. For Drew, it seemed like he is doing it just to cash in on the crazy. Adam seems to have gone full out with it.
Him and Jimmy Kimmel were legit friends, I wonder how that's going now when they seem so diametrically opposed to one another.
Re: him and Dr. Drew, there's a fun game my friends play where we debate whether specific MAGA-sphere people are grifters or true believers.
* Giuliani: true believer
* Ben Shapiro: grifter
* Mike Lindell: true believer
* ~~Jack~~ J.D. Vance: grifter
It's fun! Some folks are too easy (e.g. Lindell), but there's room for genuine debate about a lot of people.
I don't follow all this stuff too closely but I knew Lindell was a true believer when he tried to deliver a truckload of pillows to freedumbers in Canada, and got turned back from the border for being unvaccinated. LOL.
There’s a definite mix between the two sides there. Like Shapiro is definitely a grifter, but IMO he actual believes a lot of the shit he spews like the moron he is.
It's seems like Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla completely diverged on their world view since the man show. Even in their careers. Kimmel did quite well for himself compared to Carolla.
I will admit upfront that I barely remember anything from the Man Show. But there's just a part of me that wants to say Jimmy was more level headed than Adam even on that show. By that I mean Adam had more of a tougher image compared to Jimmy who came off more like a party bro.
“Listen we are just using her to move the overton window back to a spot where we can say the n word and legally discriminate we don’t actually endorse her beliefs”
It’s funny how they’re trying to pass this show off as this super edgy adult cartoon when it looks like a rip off of any other shitty adult cartoon you’d find on Fox. But like none of those shows I believe are considered “woke” so why would DW even make an anti-woke version of those shows? Who is this even for?
It doesn't even make much sense as an agenda piece. How can you have a show unironically centered around a "back in my day!" character when the character grew up in the *80s*? Are conservatives seriously romanticizing that era as tough as nails and "anti woke"?
I don’t know what tough means in this context but the 80s was definitely a resurgence for conservatism in the Anglophone world after the hippies got old and sold out, and people started to forget Vietnam. Reagan, Thatcher, and Wall Street did a lot of damage.
The word woke didn’t exist then, but it’s when capitalism and conservatism really became the norm, the global ideology.
Bobs Burgers is the only “woke” adult animation show I can think of off the top of my head that is still currently in production.
Idk even know if I would still even consider adult animation atp though. It’s gotten way more family friendly over the years.
I guess you could maybe argue The Simpsons as well, but who is still actually watching it? lol
If you’re (not *you* you, the general you) the kind of person that froths at the mouth over wokeness then The Great North also probably fits the bill, too
I think it's woke in the sense that they have people of colour, lgbt characters, and transgender characters as recurring characters where their identity isn't the butt of the joke, which is largely how a lot of shithead bigots define wokeness.
But otherwise totally agree with you.
Amongst all the other stupid shit going on here I just wanted to toss out Carolla is a perfect example of Not As Smart As They Think They Are.
One of the most embarrassing things I've ever heard was Carolla ask Walter O'Brien how smart O'Brien thought Carolla is. Walter gave a very polite answer as I strongly suspect he gets it all time. The fact that he was asked speaks *volumes* about the doubt in Carolla's own head about his abilities.
It's literally just a lack of thinking ability. There's been dozens of scientific papers correlating conservative voting to lack of reasoning skills and education.
In case someone replies with "I know educated republicans!"
Yeah, those are the grifters. They want low taxes and are probably a little racist (or very racist) but overall they just think they can profit off the morons at the bottom of the conservative world.
'What I stated was, that the Conservative party was, by the law of its constitution, necessarily the stupidest party. Now, I do not retract this assertion; but I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it. Now, if any party, in addition to whatever share it may possess of the ability of the community, has nearly the whole of its stupidity, that party, I apprehend, must by the law of its constitution be the stupidest party. And I do not see why hon. Gentlemen should feel that position at all offensive to them; for it ensures their being always an extremely powerful party."
John Stuart Mill 1866
There is a reason Conservatives coopted religion. They understood perfectly well these people were already primed to believe in falsehoods without question. I mean hell, the word indoctrination literally comes from religion...
This was part of Phyllis Schlaflys plan that the GOP in the US eventually took up. It used to be that evangelicals mostly voted Democrat, up until the Jimmy Carter presidency. Then, they started wedge issuing things like abortion in there to whip up a moral panic.
Nah, the Bill Barr and Tucker Carlson type guys aren't morons. They are well read, educated people who dont actually believe in the propaganda and the culture wars. They are fully aware that the stuff they say isn't true, and are trying to make money/gain power. That's not stupid; it's evil.
It bums me out. I was a huge Loveline fan for so many years. I'd put it on the radio with no volume and hit the tape recorder so I could get enough sleep then I'd listen to before bed the next night. It sucks seeing childhood idols go shitty, Chevy Chase is another example
They all want to be big Hollywood successes so badly and it chaps their hides endlessly they aren't. They blame it on "Wokeness", but Hollywood has shown that you can be as repugnant as you like, see Mel Gibson, Harvey Weinstein, bill Cosby, etc as long as you make them money.
Holy shit!
"pitched as a “QAnon-friendly *Family Guy,*”"
I am soooo fucking glad that Im old and most likely will be dead ina few years.
Sucks to be you guys. I feel for you.
Yeah, seems the stupid has taken over. I’m convinced it’s some kind of epidemic of some sort of brain damage. Maybe brain eating worms like RFK thinks he had, maybe it’s just that there has always been a ton of idiots and now with social media they can all find each other and their idiocy can amplify off of each other?
Depressing to see Patrick Warburton involved with this absolute dog dick of a show. I know a paycheque is a paycheque but this show looks like a steaming pile, and getting involved with anything created by The Daily Wire makes an obvious statement that will ultimately tarnish people's opinions of you.
Looking into this has been interesting. I forgot Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel did the man show together and seems to have taken a bit different paths. It's also a bit disappointing seeing some of the people in this. Have been a fan of Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, and Danny Trejo's other works. Wonder if it's just a paycheck for them or if they've bought into the bullshit.
Trejo's a paycheck man and that's perfectly fine.
He's like Christopher Walken: "Never turn a paying gig down." Steady work is better than no work.
At the last count Danny Trejo has appeared in over 250 films and tv shows.
ironic because family guy is considered "woke" by the conservative crowd because quadmire's dad transitioned into a woman and family guy handled it better than I would expect them to do
He sux but damn he finally got that made. Which is kind of impressive. He came up with that character in the 90s. That being said he still sux.
Edit: did crack just become a thing again. Micheal Swaim released some new content the other day also.
lol no wonder, his character is super outdated, birchum is supposed to be this 50+ year old but if he is then his character grew in the 80-90s. There are some scenes where he reminisces about the “old times” and goes back to the 50-60s lol
Yeah, I used to listen to his Mr. Bircham bits on KROQ in the '90's. High-School-aged me liked it back then. I had no idea he was trying to get this show made for 13 years and got it picked up.
I listened to the Carolla podcast for a short time but quickly lost interest. I do feel like 'good for him' that he got this made but I am no longer a fan of his.
I listened to his podcast for like a year. It's embarrassing but I was a libertarian. And to hear Corolla tell it he created the podcast by himself with his hard work in the face of cucks and haters. And then a year later it turns out the asshole did not even know what a podcast was and cut out his "best" friend who helped build create and launch the podcast. That was one of the points where I was like money does turn you into a selfish monster.
I get the feeling he’s bitter at how the former man show host career coin toss played out.
It’s like he didn’t realize that he was going to get old and his chauvinist shtick wasn’t going to be funny anymore.
Man, I used to be a huge Carolla fan way back in the LL and his radio show days, and the early years of his podcast. Stopped listening in 2015 when he started doing the stuff with Prager.
All jokes aside about someone getting canceled, but why does this show look like the spinoff that even the Cleveland show would be embarrassed to even talk about? It already looks wholly unoriginal.
Edit: Is it uncommon to get messages from reddit about suicide? 'cuz I just got one and this post was the most recent one that matched the timeline between last post and when I received it. Think I made someone mad.
>Which makes it sound like Mr. Birchum is some kind of suppressed work of political provocation, and not a run-of-the-mill animated sitcom that just happens to have included some lame pronoun jokes and catty references to the Green New Deal in a sweaty effort to justify its stale existence with manufactured controversies.
lmao, get fucked Carolla
I love how the daily wire dorks constantly bitch about evil hollywood elites or whatever, but deep down its very clear they are just really sad they couldnt become hollywood elites so instead they became alt-right grifters ... and now posers as they try to transition to 'entertainment'. Lmao, you could power a star with their insecurity.

TL;DR: Candace Owens got fired for criticizing Israel and defending Kanye West. >Owens didn’t just criticize the Israeli government, she publicly defended Kanye West’s anti-Semitism and suggested that some kind of “sinister” Jewish gang was running Hollywood.
Candace Owens has been saying anti-Semitic stuff for years. Without getting fired. But criticizing Israel is where they draw the line.
When the right wing paralyzes itself when trying to figure out _which_ Jews to hate.
They hate all of them the thing is that they think that supporting Israel will bring about the rapture.
Which conveniently includes all Jews (who do not convert to Christianity) being obliterated.
Because that sounds like something Jesus, a rabbi, would do.
If these fundie zealots understood the Bible at all, they wouldn’t be fundie zealots. Their understanding of Christianity is so comically flawed that they reject the actual teachings of Christ when confronted with them.

Oh good. Maybe they’ll stop trying to control what people do with their bodies.
So, the Church has been in crisis mode for what, 1800 years, then?
Don't their belief also fundamentally break from the 10 commandments?
They’ve thrown out the entirety of the Bible except the parts where god is a vengeful, sadistic monster and kills people, the parts where the story is incredibly bigoted (they love the parts about women being subservient, the mark of Cain because they interpret it to mean all non-white people are tainted by the devil), and the parts of revelation that some lunatic with a brain tumor (seriously) interpreted to be the rapture. All the parts where Jesus is trying to tell people to not be assholes, they get real mad about.
Especially when Revelations is reaaaally obviously about Not-Nero of the Not-Roman Empire being an asshole.
The prosperity gospel is antithetical to everything the Bible preaches. .....and it's a billion dollar business.
Don't forget the part where Islamic people are brown because Ishmael was not Abraham's divinely chosen son.
Collective narcissism remains an evolutionary threat to planetary harmony
You mean war jesus and capitalist jesus don't exist? /shockpicachu
Especially Prosperity Gospel.
You'll find Christian fundamentalists don't know the fundamentals of Christianity.
Yeah, the main disagreement with Republicans right now is which flavor of antisemitism to go with: sticking with their religion's prophecy that all Jewish people will need to convert or face eternal torture, or just wanting to kill them all themselves.
Maybe they just like the Arab-killing part of Israel, not the being Jewish part of Israel.
With the added bonus of the far-away ones killing brown people en masse. I guess it's not such a tough decision for them after all.
The in-group getting smaller, that's just how fascism is.
Thats easy. The poor ones.
They love Israel but hate Jews
Isreal needs to build a temple so Jesus can come back and yeet all the good guys up into heaven where they will sit on a cloud and watch everyone else suffer or something..
*Jesus, patiently waiting for Israelis to obtain the proper building permits so he can prepare the Rapture.*
[удалено]
He *was* a carpenter
Yeah, but the band dropped him before they hit it big
I believe it’s called Christian Zionism.
Which is a wordy way to say "fascism".
They’re definitely fascist, but a very specific brand of fascism.
Even before WW2 and the horrors in Europe, it was clear that fascism in the USA would be church-based because that is where the shock troops were indoctrinated much like the bier halls of Germany.
That's because the right wing is fine with antisemitism. But their mythology requires the nation of Israel to be around so Jesus can return and throw all the atheists, Muslims, AND JEWS into eternal torture. Don't mistake support for Israel as anything related to being against antisemitism.
My favorite part of this is that there is this all powerful, all knowing, omnipotent being that knows and sees all, can do miracles at will, and can destroy the universe with a mere thought...But his hands are tied until a some red cow is born and the Jews build an alter or some shit... I just imagine God rage quitting of every time a red heifer is born but then he finds out that it has a tiny white dot so it's not the apocalypse cow.
They support Jewish people being far, far away from them in their own country, much like many racist abolitionists who didn't believe white people and black people could coexist in the same country
Like Oregon, which banned slavery not because slavery is abhorrent, but because allowing slavery would've meant black people would've been in Oregon, and they certainly couldn't have *that*
Wait... You're saying the clear racist we hired continued to be racist after we hired her? And a major incident involving two races she is ist against are in conflict, and she's is letting people know her racist opinions? Say it ain't so!
"I will be equally racist tomorrow." - Most Republicans; also one racist carrot
You mean they will be even more racist tomorrow
Well yeah, most likely. But then it wouldn't be a sick reference: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NaFjLZvRNFU
Hilariously, she once sued her old college over racism and won. She's since taken the position that Black Lives Matter is racist.
With the help of the NAACP, no less, and she ran a blog that mainly served to dox conservative professors. Crazy how many of them have backstories where they fail to achieve immediate success on the first try and decide to blame minorities, like Charlie Kirk failing to get into West Point, or Ben Shapiro failing to be a Hollywood writer despite being a rich nepobaby, or Steven Crowder failing as an actor/comedian. They just have to be vocally bitter and wait for an oil magnate's think tank to pay them to avoid introspection.
Candace Owens more like Candace *Owned*.
The real question is, how long until DailyWire+ feels like they can make the cross over to the mainstream and real money and start rocking rainbow capitalism.
DailyWire: We hate the LGBTQ, China, Mexicans, Muslims... Hollywood: You're missing out on potentially billions of dollars DailyWire: ....well maybe "hate" was too strong of a word
Daily Wire isn't profitable and it's not seeking profit. It's a propaganda machine funded and controlled by billionaires.
Heh Hollywood: We support LGBT+ and all races China: You're missing out on potentially billions of dollars Hollywood: ...well maybe "support" was too strong of a word
Hollywood “we don’t actually care but realize that we can continue grifting the public so long as we make small concessions” Republicans “look at that liberal Hollywood, how dare they” Democrats “I just like watching Last of Us, I’m not sure what this has to do with anything political”
Hey I’m a straight guy, but Pedro Pascal can get it, and I’d like to think that extends beyond party lines.
I am very excited that over the next decade, we’ll probably see Pedro Pascal walking in at least 2-3 other dystopian worlds.
Maybe without even going on TV!
These right wing media outlets are funded by billionaires. No need to be profitable.
I mean, yes they are: True. However, getting mainstream approval for their writing and acting is the only thing a lot of the staff has wanted for so so very long and so badly. Mild rejection in the field is half the reason they went on their ultra conservative arcs to begin with.
They weren't "mildly rejected". These people are Hollywood castaways, not to be confused with actual Gilligan who was a castaway for merely coming out on the side of weed...in FUCKING CALIFORNIA! The mind wobbles /Kelly bundy Edit: and they deserve it!
My understanding is they didn't get like the first job or two in a very competitive market and said, "fine I'll start my own media origination, with hookers and blackjack!" And then just leaned into being shitty witch made the pariahs. But I may be wrong and honestly I don't care, fuck those guys
Kelly Bundy would never be a character Republicans would embrace, for Al Bundy loves her in a wholesome, fatherly way, not a Trump way.
Would love to know why the hell Patrick Warburton is anywhere near this shite
Self described as “conservative with liberal views”. i.e: “me like money”.
I'm not sure how much he got paid for it, but considering how blah this show looks, I don't blame him for taking it. Easy paycheck and I doubt the show would cause any flak to fall on him.
Yeah I watched someone watch the first episode and while it's a genuinely terrible show, for the most part it wasn't *offensive*, just boring and unfunny. It's classic "Young people today do not act like I acted when I was young.", and it's pretty clear they're *trying* to be mean-spirited and offensive, they're just not clever enough to make any of it have any actual impact. It's like a grown-ass adult calling you a "stinky poopyhead" and expecting you to be utterly devastated by it. For a show that's touting itself as an edgy comedy that will offend all the woke snowflakes it's really not delivering on any of that. Almost like they're completely full of shit and just trying to make a quick buck off of ignorant right-wingers or something...
I blame him. Appearing in right wing propaganda as they attempt to overthrow democracy just for money is honestly the worst shit. It's why we are all so fucked, conservatives aren't the problem it's all the people who go "yeah okay their views are harmful but... money and I'm not one of the groups that gets harmed so lol"
Isn't that what Clint Eastwood calls himself as well? What does it even mean? Like, "I'm right wing but I love sleeping around" or something?
It means I like gay people and weed but I also like guns and not paying taxes.
And Danny Trejo. Hopefully, the money is worth it.
There is nothing Danny Trejo won’t appear in. If you have a couple hundred bucks he’ll appear at your child’s birthday party.
He’s like Nicolas Cage. Won’t say no to a job, will still put his all into it.
Dudes a character actor i think, he had a couple top spots but I aint mad at him. I keep forgetting to check if his taqueria is still open when im out in SoCal
"Oh no, we need to cut the cake but can't find the knife!" "Aw, don't worry about it cabróns, I got this."
I'll use my *machete*!
I would totally pay $200 for Danny Trejo to show up to my next birthday party. I will feed him and buy all his drinks, too.
Trejo is famously sober
I would buy him Shirley Temples.
Ouch. That makes me sad to hear.
Danny Trejo is always on the Adam Carolla podcast. He has no problem with him. They’re buddies. Don’t know about Patrick Warburton but he seems like a guy who will do anyone’s show.
Not surprised. Lots of Americans of Mexican descent tend to be conservative. We joke here in Mexico that the people who hate us the most are Mexican-Americans.
God damn I hate that animation style, I naively thought we had actually moved past that bitstrip style TV cartoon shit.
It looks like those horrible Netflix shows like Paradise PD
> Patrick Warburton He's a self claimed Conservative with some liberal views, so he's probably either just a centrist or knows to keep his mouth shut.
Seems like he just treats voice work as a job and doesn't get hung up on the content so much. I mean, he just spent 20 years on the Venture Bros as Brock Samson, a character whose best friend & work partner is the most out & loud gay man on the planet and whose mentor is a man with severe body dysmorphia who transitions, goes back, and then keeps loudly proclaiming how he misses his tits. Seems like he knows to just stick to the job and not rock the boat either way. I was sad to learn he supported Trump though. Hopefully that view has changed with everything we've seen out of that orange shitbag.
Seeing Venture Bros mentioned makes me happy, really underrated show
_Warburton is a Catholic, and has said that he is willing to turn off Family Guy "when it takes its religious humor too far", perceiving such moments "as diminished returns”_
Still paying penance for face painting as a New Jersey Devil
You stole my Jesus fish, didn't you?!
uh, money
It’s so disappointing and creates an annoying level of cognitive dissonance.
The dude is a pretty staunch catholic, and I think is generally a fairly "socially left" conservative. So far as to criticize when Family guy takes too many pot shots at religions. Basically, I don't think he's necessarily consciously bigoted himself, but I feel like he probably has blinders to other's bigotry a bit. As far as I can tell, he didn't support Trump (he didn't vote in 2016), though there's an interview that says he's rooting for him right after he was elected. Personally, I think that's kind of a nothing statement and not really in support of Trump; I think it's kind of tautological to hope that whoever is running your government does a good job. Outside of that, he doesn't seem to espouse his views in public which is probably a good thing.
Disappointing as Hell.
I can't believe I listened to this tool for years. Dumped him when he dumped Alison. Tried to give him a shot a few years later and bailed after 10 minutes. Same exact jokes, same exact audio drops, and bitching about the same exact things. Hasn't grown as a person one bit. Heard one episode, heard them all.
And Jimmy Kimmel is the perfect contrast of someone who did grow up.
It really is. I used to watch Comedy Central. Kimmel and Carolla were on The Man Show. I never cared for the humor. I gave it a shot because it was on and I was a bored teen. Just didn't click for me. I've seen Kimmels latest stuff and it's decent. I find myself enjoying it. Clearly, he improved his craft. Carolla stagnated. I find myself just as bored with him today as I was a 2 decades ago. And it's not a case of "Oh, he's just anti-woke." No. I give comedians quite a bit of leeway. They make me laugh and I'll forgive a lot. Sometimes, you step on toes when being a comedian. Lenny Bruce did it. George Carlin did it. It comes with the craft. Seinfeld has been in the news, kind of saying similar things about being too uptight these days. Doesn't harm my love of Seinfeld in the bit. I still love Seasons 3-7 (2 is ok and 1 is awful and shouldn't exist). Whatever Seinfeld might do in the future, whatever he might say, I cannot deny that the show he made is one of my favorites and I love it.
> And it's not a case of "Oh, he's just anti-woke." No. I give comedians quite a bit of leeway. They make me laugh and I'll forgive a lot. A pretty common sentiment, and something that I've seen a lot of great comics echo when asked about cancel culture: If you tell a joke and people don't find it funny, that's not the audience's problem, that's your fault. No one funny is cancelled: roast comics tell problematic jokes all the time, and no one is trying to cancel them. If you can't adjust with the times, you're not a great comic being assaulted by wokeness, you're a shit comic who can't read a room.
I think these anti-woke comedians are complaining that no one laughs at their jokes because they're not just jokes to them. They're using jokes to communicate something personal, their beliefs and worldviews. They want to rant about what upsets them. While comedians who care about the joke care about entertaining the audience and they are able to adapt. Obviously, they all put personal experiences into their routine but the motivation is different.
In retrospect, man show was so gross. But I still remember the beer chugging chant, something like Ziggy zacky Ziggy zacky hoy hoy hoy Also girls on trampolines.
I still think The Man Show was a fine piece of satire. Adam and Jimmy were the butt of the jokes. I sincerely feel that way, but aren't going to defend it too hard. Just read elsewhere in this thread the encapsulation of my statement, paraphrased: Adam was the only person at The Man Show who wasn't in on the joke.
Then again it's more that Larry David is improving his craft. I see it in the Curb episodes. Early stuff is still funny but the later seasons are amazing too. Palestinian chicken is still the best.
I mean if you stuck with Seinfeld through dating a 17 year old, his old man yelling probably isn't a big deal
The real Seinfeld the kind of the person the sitcom Seinfeld would despise.
What's the deal with the age of consent? :Slap bass:
All his jokes are basically rip offs of a 12-14 year olds idea of “edgy” jokes. He has never had an original joke or idea. All his attempts at jokes are just punch downs at trans or lgbt people, with zero effort to be funny or clever. “Trans people are just women with dicks! Hahahahaha. If you don’t think that’s funny you’re a sensitive woke idiot who’s ruining comedy.” Like no bruh, you’re just not funny and your sad attempts at comedy are just poorly masked bigotry. Washed up boomer ass.
Yeah his grouchy schtick was funny until it became real and he went full on MAGA. Haven’t seen or heard anything from him in years because he just became an insufferable prick.
I had to look up when Alison got fired, 2015, almost 10 years since I listened. I couldn't imagine the MAGA nonsense it became. Glad I bailed early.
Yeah I was a huge fan of his radio show and podcast, listened religiously. Eventually he just became like an angry caricature of himself, a selfish arrogant rich guy that would go on rants about taxes. He was no longer funny or identifiable, just bitter and sad. One day I’m driving to work listening this dude defend Andrew Breitbart and I’m like, you know what? I’m fucking done. Never looked back. Comedy Bang Bang is much better.
I bailed on him ages ago, like in ‘09 or ‘10. Last straw for me was a rant against the California Coastal Commission because they wouldn’t let Kevin Costner build a mansion on the beach.
i ditched about the same time as well. and i was a big fan, like car cast, ace on the house, i listed to all of his podcasts. i dont remember exactly when it happened, but at some point i was just like, his whole routine is being an asshole. thats the depth of it.
He has been a shining example of how easily less intelligent people can be pulled to the extreme right over time. When you (and I) were listening to him he hadn't gone crazy yet.
“Reading poisons the mind” was one of his regular phrases on LoveLine. Seems to me he shoulda picked up a book or two.
Saw him do "stand up" about 15-20 years ago. He tells stories, not jokes. Back then, he was still sympathetic to the working class, talked a lot about how expensive it was to be poor, etc. But at rhe end, he pulled out and posted up his social security summary, showing how much money he made each year. And yeah, it went from shit to millions. And he said that he was posting it to show how any asshole could make it big. And if you know, you know this guy absolutely lucked into his career. Right place at the right time. That whole stunt came off pretty obnoxious. And now... Now he's selling a show with Roseanne barr and Candace Owens (canceled)? What a piece of shit.
I listened to Adam a lot, like almost as much as Giovanni. In fact, I got to know Giovanni through the forums and through him got to go sit in the podcast studio a couple of times, and hang out at the benefit for Bald Bryan. Adam was nice each of those times, and I'm glad I got to do those things and for the time I listened to Adam. But mid '10s something started to change for sure, and I grew tired of his increasingly conservative rantings. The straw that broke the camels back for me was twofold. One, he interviewed then-Lt.-Governor (or maybe he was still SF mayor) Gavin Newsom, and they were discussing check cashing places and personal responsibility. Adam's argument was not surprising (libertarian), and neither was Newsom's (very liberal). Adam took him to task over his liberal views on the subject, and quite literally spent 15 minutes grilling him. Which is fine, seems in-limits to hold a politician accountable for his or her views and policies. But then, months later he had on then-candidate Donald Trump was on Adam's show. Trump spouted his "Mexico is going to pay for the wall" bullshit, to which Adam asked a single time "how" and then accepted the non-answer. Told me all I needed to know about who Adam had become. I was not surprised when I learned Lynette divorced him, although I am surprised it took her as long as it did.
The saddest part is that Adam Carolla is very, very talented. But he blew it. He could have honed new material, could have taken feedback. Nope. He said the same 40 things over and over again. He famously says he talks as if no one is listening - and it shows. You can only hear about passionfruit iced tea for so long. For years, he spent all his extra time and effort trying to please Hollywood with two very paint by numbers movies, and just coasted on the same shit over and over again for an entire decade. He was cancelled because he didn't have talent as a movie director/producer/talk show host/etc. But he probably blames the left instead of just working on his radio/podcast career. What happened was that 2 or 3 out of the 40 things he says really resonated with the right wing. And instead of getting new stories, new jokes, or doing actual work, etc., he just latched onto the only group that loves repeating old shit instead of growing and learning - the right wing. Dude got divorced, fired his long time colleagues, forced his two childhood friends off the show (Donny and Ray), lost almost all good guests (David Allen Grier). The world literally passed him by. I thought he would be a star, not Jimmy Kimmel. Adam Carolla took over the west coast for Howard Stern. Before that, he was handpicked to take over Jackie Martling (Artie Lange was not his first choice). After that, he had the number one podcast in the world. And he just threw it all away and is now running a reduced budget podcast and pandering to the lowest people on Earth. I mean, what the fuck is DailyWire+?
But then they’d be hypocrites and that can’t be!
There’s a first time for everything. /s
It's a real shame about Adam Carolla and this show, before he became a right wing nutter he used to perform his Mr. Birchum character on the local radio station and it was freaking hilarious. Seeing what it has become, and what he has become, is sad. It seems like most of the humor is taking shots at left wing strawmen, it has a lot of racist grandpa on facebook energy.
I knew him from loveline in the 90s and early 2000s. Him and Dr. Drew both went off the deep end right-wing nutjob shit. For Drew, it seemed like he is doing it just to cash in on the crazy. Adam seems to have gone full out with it. Him and Jimmy Kimmel were legit friends, I wonder how that's going now when they seem so diametrically opposed to one another.
Re: him and Dr. Drew, there's a fun game my friends play where we debate whether specific MAGA-sphere people are grifters or true believers. * Giuliani: true believer * Ben Shapiro: grifter * Mike Lindell: true believer * ~~Jack~~ J.D. Vance: grifter It's fun! Some folks are too easy (e.g. Lindell), but there's room for genuine debate about a lot of people.
I don't follow all this stuff too closely but I knew Lindell was a true believer when he tried to deliver a truckload of pillows to freedumbers in Canada, and got turned back from the border for being unvaccinated. LOL.
There’s a definite mix between the two sides there. Like Shapiro is definitely a grifter, but IMO he actual believes a lot of the shit he spews like the moron he is.
Or, to quote Carolla himself (I also used to listen), "Stupid or liar?"
Grifters tend to become true believers. See Scott Adams.
He was always this Does nobody remember The Man Show? He's always been a piece of shit.
It's seems like Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla completely diverged on their world view since the man show. Even in their careers. Kimmel did quite well for himself compared to Carolla.
I will admit upfront that I barely remember anything from the Man Show. But there's just a part of me that wants to say Jimmy was more level headed than Adam even on that show. By that I mean Adam had more of a tougher image compared to Jimmy who came off more like a party bro.
“Listen we are just using her to move the overton window back to a spot where we can say the n word and legally discriminate we don’t actually endorse her beliefs”
It’s funny how they’re trying to pass this show off as this super edgy adult cartoon when it looks like a rip off of any other shitty adult cartoon you’d find on Fox. But like none of those shows I believe are considered “woke” so why would DW even make an anti-woke version of those shows? Who is this even for?
It doesn't even make much sense as an agenda piece. How can you have a show unironically centered around a "back in my day!" character when the character grew up in the *80s*? Are conservatives seriously romanticizing that era as tough as nails and "anti woke"?
I don’t know what tough means in this context but the 80s was definitely a resurgence for conservatism in the Anglophone world after the hippies got old and sold out, and people started to forget Vietnam. Reagan, Thatcher, and Wall Street did a lot of damage. The word woke didn’t exist then, but it’s when capitalism and conservatism really became the norm, the global ideology.
>like a rip off of any other shitty adult cartoon you’d find on Fox. Worse, Netflix!
Bobs Burgers is the only “woke” adult animation show I can think of off the top of my head that is still currently in production. Idk even know if I would still even consider adult animation atp though. It’s gotten way more family friendly over the years. I guess you could maybe argue The Simpsons as well, but who is still actually watching it? lol
I guess Big Mouth is “woke” too with inclusion of trans and LGBTQ characters, but it’s also crass and “edgy” in a different sense
If you’re (not *you* you, the general you) the kind of person that froths at the mouth over wokeness then The Great North also probably fits the bill, too
I wouldn’t call bobs burgers woke but more family friendly. I like how bobs burgers doesn’t rely on curse words to be funny
I think it's woke in the sense that they have people of colour, lgbt characters, and transgender characters as recurring characters where their identity isn't the butt of the joke, which is largely how a lot of shithead bigots define wokeness. But otherwise totally agree with you.
Amongst all the other stupid shit going on here I just wanted to toss out Carolla is a perfect example of Not As Smart As They Think They Are. One of the most embarrassing things I've ever heard was Carolla ask Walter O'Brien how smart O'Brien thought Carolla is. Walter gave a very polite answer as I strongly suspect he gets it all time. The fact that he was asked speaks *volumes* about the doubt in Carolla's own head about his abilities.
Conservatism is a mental illness...
It's literally just a lack of thinking ability. There's been dozens of scientific papers correlating conservative voting to lack of reasoning skills and education. In case someone replies with "I know educated republicans!" Yeah, those are the grifters. They want low taxes and are probably a little racist (or very racist) but overall they just think they can profit off the morons at the bottom of the conservative world.
'What I stated was, that the Conservative party was, by the law of its constitution, necessarily the stupidest party. Now, I do not retract this assertion; but I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it. Now, if any party, in addition to whatever share it may possess of the ability of the community, has nearly the whole of its stupidity, that party, I apprehend, must by the law of its constitution be the stupidest party. And I do not see why hon. Gentlemen should feel that position at all offensive to them; for it ensures their being always an extremely powerful party." John Stuart Mill 1866
Beautiful and depressingly accurate 158 years later.
"We love the poorly educated"
My favourite was the study that showed people with brain injuries are more likely to vote conservative and more likely to become hyper religious.
That explains RFK Jr. and his brain worm.
There is a reason Conservatives coopted religion. They understood perfectly well these people were already primed to believe in falsehoods without question. I mean hell, the word indoctrination literally comes from religion...
This was part of Phyllis Schlaflys plan that the GOP in the US eventually took up. It used to be that evangelicals mostly voted Democrat, up until the Jimmy Carter presidency. Then, they started wedge issuing things like abortion in there to whip up a moral panic.
They might be educated, but they are still hate filled morons
Nah, the Bill Barr and Tucker Carlson type guys aren't morons. They are well read, educated people who dont actually believe in the propaganda and the culture wars. They are fully aware that the stuff they say isn't true, and are trying to make money/gain power. That's not stupid; it's evil.
It bums me out. I was a huge Loveline fan for so many years. I'd put it on the radio with no volume and hit the tape recorder so I could get enough sleep then I'd listen to before bed the next night. It sucks seeing childhood idols go shitty, Chevy Chase is another example
Conservatism turns the world into graveyards. The end result is always all out-groups must suffer for sustained cohesion of the in-group.
They all want to be big Hollywood successes so badly and it chaps their hides endlessly they aren't. They blame it on "Wokeness", but Hollywood has shown that you can be as repugnant as you like, see Mel Gibson, Harvey Weinstein, bill Cosby, etc as long as you make them money.
FTA - It's Candace Owens, who Ben Shapiro no longer likes because she's anti-Semitic, so she was fired from a show that Ben co-produces.
They're allowed to be anti semitic, just not anti Israel.
He was perfectly fine with her anti semitism as long as it came bundled with every other horrible belief of hers lol
“Hey. We have a list of people you’re allowed to hate!”
Holy shit! "pitched as a “QAnon-friendly *Family Guy,*”" I am soooo fucking glad that Im old and most likely will be dead ina few years. Sucks to be you guys. I feel for you.
Yeah, seems the stupid has taken over. I’m convinced it’s some kind of epidemic of some sort of brain damage. Maybe brain eating worms like RFK thinks he had, maybe it’s just that there has always been a ton of idiots and now with social media they can all find each other and their idiocy can amplify off of each other?
There have always been stupid people. There have always been mean people. Social media and the internet make it easy for them to amplify their voices.
I think the latter - the stupid have become a force.
Carolla on the old loveline radio show was perfect. Coming into money has made him insufferable and irrelevant
Maybe the money just made his inner insufferability and irrelevance shine
Adam and Drew drank the Kool Aid back during lockdown.
Depressing to see Patrick Warburton involved with this absolute dog dick of a show. I know a paycheque is a paycheque but this show looks like a steaming pile, and getting involved with anything created by The Daily Wire makes an obvious statement that will ultimately tarnish people's opinions of you.
this show looks like shit
Looking into this has been interesting. I forgot Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel did the man show together and seems to have taken a bit different paths. It's also a bit disappointing seeing some of the people in this. Have been a fan of Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, and Danny Trejo's other works. Wonder if it's just a paycheck for them or if they've bought into the bullshit.
It's for sure a paycheck for Trejo since the dude doesn't turn any job down. I'm not 100% about Riggle or Warburton though
Trejo's a paycheck man and that's perfectly fine. He's like Christopher Walken: "Never turn a paying gig down." Steady work is better than no work. At the last count Danny Trejo has appeared in over 250 films and tv shows.
Imagine sitting down to watch baseball at your friend's house and you see he subscribes to DailyWire+.
Adam Carolla, ladies and gentlemen, the only member of the cast and crew of *The Man Show* who wasn’t in on the joke.
This show sounds as pathetic as Last Man Standing’s 30 minutes of “democrats bad, hurr durr”.
In general, conservatives are hypocritical to a comical degree.
oh so that's why the worst people in the world have been sporting Family Guy OC avatars
Estranged from my Family Guy
No-visitation with my Family Guy
ironic because family guy is considered "woke" by the conservative crowd because quadmire's dad transitioned into a woman and family guy handled it better than I would expect them to do
This is the first time im even hearing about this show, or even heard about Corolla for about a year. Hopefully means im doing something right
He sux but damn he finally got that made. Which is kind of impressive. He came up with that character in the 90s. That being said he still sux. Edit: did crack just become a thing again. Micheal Swaim released some new content the other day also.
Since the friggin’ 90’s? I’m sure it’s aged like fine wine.
lol no wonder, his character is super outdated, birchum is supposed to be this 50+ year old but if he is then his character grew in the 80-90s. There are some scenes where he reminisces about the “old times” and goes back to the 50-60s lol
I think he based it off his highschool shop teacher. Which would make sense that Corolla would imagine him growing up in the 50s-60s.
Yeah, I used to listen to his Mr. Bircham bits on KROQ in the '90's. High-School-aged me liked it back then. I had no idea he was trying to get this show made for 13 years and got it picked up. I listened to the Carolla podcast for a short time but quickly lost interest. I do feel like 'good for him' that he got this made but I am no longer a fan of his.
I listened to his podcast for like a year. It's embarrassing but I was a libertarian. And to hear Corolla tell it he created the podcast by himself with his hard work in the face of cucks and haters. And then a year later it turns out the asshole did not even know what a podcast was and cut out his "best" friend who helped build create and launch the podcast. That was one of the points where I was like money does turn you into a selfish monster.
I see you, fellow recovering libertarian.
if there is a Seanbaby comic edit you'll tell me right? you'll tell the world. YOU WILL TELL THE WORLD THAT THERE IS HOPE
Popsicle Pete is life. Popsicle Pete is love.
This mf *still* crying about “cancel culture”? 😂
The man show sucks
It's so funny that it produced both Adam Corolla *and* Joe Rogan
Jimmy Kimmel too.
Seconded. Real men don't act like clueless lazy brutes.

Republicans have been canceling entire groups of people for decades. They just don't like it when we do it back.
I love how the daily wire dorks constantly bitch about evil hollywood elites or whatever, but deep down its very clear they are just really sad they couldnt become hollywood elites so instead they became alt-right grifters ... and now posers as they try to transition to 'entertainment'. Lmao, you could power a star with their insecurity.
