Hate Mail - It's Funny When The Big Fat Iconoclastic Infidels Get Pissy Over Me Being Irreverent About The Unfunny George Carlin

I'll just post what Sam Seder, sometimes comic, sometimes pretty funny podcast host said about another unfunny guy late last week because it's pretty much the same thing Carlin did when his beatnik-hippy shtick didn't stand the test of time very long.

What's going to be interesting with Gavin [McInnes] is if anybody pays any attention to him.  He's obviously going to try to lay low now to hopefully get back some of his mojo in the hipster set.  I think it's unlikely that's going to happen.  But without him being an extremist he doesn't have much to offer because it's not like the guy is hugely funny.  Now look,  I happen to know some of Gavin's friends, and one of the things . . . former friends I should say . . . and one of the things they said, he desperately wants to be a comedian, he's always wanted to be a comedian, he hung out with a bunch of comedians, that's how I met him, in a group of comedians . . . 

but he's JUST . . . NOT . . . FUNNY.  

And, after a while, if it doesn't work, what do you do?  You develop a shtick that sells. 

Sam Seder on Gavin McInnes trying to leave the group of fascists he founded, Proud Boys, behind because he's afraid of paying a price for being such a racist, sexist, LGBT bashing jerk, a hero to a bunch of douche bags.

  1. I don't think "Majority" means what Mr. Seder thinks it does.

    1. I don't believe he named the show, he was not its original host but I don't think you've demonstrated a better understanding of the term. You can construct a "majority" any way you want it to come out.
