He’s one of my all time favorites and outside of the final joke, his new special was slaying me. Love that dude.

 

I can't wait to watch the new Demetri special

 

Clemdog is on the new Action Boyz

 

Benny Shwa never disappoints

 

I'm behind on DLM but who is the voice of Eddie the Eagle? At first I was wondering if it was DVK since he retired Wahlberg but doesn't sound like his voice. I'm midway through the SDCC episode so I don't know if they reveal it towards the end.

 

It is Dan van kirk

 

Does he show up in more recent episodes? I kinda like him. Ca-caw!!!

 

Just the 2 from San Diego but the ca-caw after douglovesmovies.com YEAH has caught on much to Doug's dismay.

 

Maybe I missed it but how has Doug not gotten way more shit for having TJ on recently? Especially when Schaal and Kurt caught it for the same thing.

 

Lily from Hannah Montana tweeting about the pod is wild

 

Lying about eating Pop Tarts to own the libs

 

Seinfeld sounds like a guy who's never been unfairly maligned or mistreated due to his gender, race, etc...

I doubt it's purposeful "fuck em" kind of thinking, but at his age, experience, and intelligence, he should know better.

 

I assume that people from his generation of comics that broke through during the 80s comedy boom still hold that old school mentality and never bothered to adopt to changing trends in culture.

 

I agree.

It's also easier to do that when you're not far from being a billionaire.

 

Oh totally. TV residuals aside, he’s still a comic that wants to continue to perform. He doesn’t need college gigs or club bookings. He can still make millions a year just doing corporate gigs. When he doesn’t feel welcomed in a college or PC climate, he just lashes out at critics.

 

Yeah, for sure. I still think there’s place for offensive stand up comedy, to be honest. Yelling the n word like Michael Richards is clearly terrible and he deservedly got raked over the coals for it. But there are comedians and comedy shows who are smart enough to craft jokes that can be offensive, but aren’t using those kind of words or taboo subjects as the punchline but as the setting of a clever joke. (Edit - I’m not advocating the use of the n word when talking about this)

But I also can understand people still hating that and not wanting it to be allowed or celebrated.

 

He doesn't even have any un-PC bits, he's just supremely unfunny in 2018 and can't fathom college students thinking so. So he makes himself a victim if the PC police or whatever. Very pathetic

 

his standup was barely funny in like 1990 when he was at the height of his career, like every time they included it in the beginning or end of an episode it was like why

 

I just watched his most recent stand up on Netflix and only made it like 15 mins. It just wasn't...funny. I could even tell by watching the audience that a lot of them felt the same way.

 

I've always loved his stand up comedy, so I can't agree with y'all there.

 

based on that tweet all I’m seeing him say is that jokes don’t necessarily reflect the comedians beliefs. I don’t see why anyone would have a problem with that

 

It’s a bad faith willful misreading of why people object to certain jokes. I like him but he’s woefully out of touch.

 

Next up, Jim Gaffigan admits he's never eaten bacon in his life.

 

Seinfeld also dated a 17 year old when he was 40

 

I’m not saying Seinfeld isn’t shitty, just that his quote is valid.
