Tony, Chapelle, and Joe Rogan are actively murdering comedy. They blame everyone but themselves because they can't get with the times. They look down on people and punch down constantly, and still manage to miss the mark. They are not down to earth, they are not relatable, and they should NOT be looked up to.

Piece of shit human trash calls Puerto Rico “trash”. Republicans are shit 💩

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

Folks in Puerto Rico when they’re admitted as a state: “he tells it like it is.”

“It was just a joke!”

Oh, I don’t get it. Can you explain to me what the joke is? Like, can you put into words why you find that funny?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 weeks ago (11 children)

I think it'd be subverting expectations. From the start you might think it's about the Pacific trash island that has collected there, but then it turns the other way and calls Puerto Rico a trash island. A decently funny joke imo, even if rude. I've seen the same joke being done about the UK and it did get a proper chuckle out of me.

They're absolutely terrified of Puerto Rican statehood, so they try to drive them away.

Little piss-baby cowards.

The joke only works if you understand that it's not true and that no one can obviously believe it.

If it's done where you and everyone thinks it's true, you're at a Klan rally or probably at the comedy mothership or something.

What a fucking cunt Jesus Christ. The racist rhetoric has really stepped up these past few months since there’s been 0 consequences

Tony Hinchcliffe is not funny. Watched his podcast for a while then totally abandoned it because I realized I wasn't laughing during most episodes. It's mostly seasoned comics taking cheap shots at amateurs and then saying some racist shit while they all laugh and no one in the audience does. His nasally voice is annoying as fuck and hitching his wagon to the trump train seems pretty on brand for that fuckwit. His comedy brand caters to the same people who really like Joe Rogan and Alex Jones, both regulars on the podcast. Shocking I know.

They can't vote, so why would they care? Easy targets, no apparent consequences.

Edit: /s

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 weeks ago

You couldn’t invent a band of chucklefucks more capable at torpedoing a presidential campaign…and yet here we are, tied, with apparently no ability to sway any voters away from Trump. It’s so demoralizing.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Why the /s?

That's literally the point. Easy target, plus they're brown people i/e "Not Real Americans"

Bone stock Republican shit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

I guess in this case the /s is for satire.

Puerto Ricans can and do move and there's large numbers of them in swing states. There's 450 thousand just in Pennsylvania

EDIT: also doesn't help that he also said

“These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,” Hinchcliffe said, setting up his joke: “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They c-- inside, just like they did to our country."

Yeah, I was being mildly satirical. Insulting any people group seems like it should be a losing move. I wish it were.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Except for the millions of Puerto Ricans that live in the Continental US.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah I'm on board, I was attempting some mild satire.
