How did he get a job opening for Trump? I thought they hated the gays.
They’ll take self hating members of any group except trans people
They do it so that they can prove that they “welcome everyone”
I thought he wasn’t actually gay?
He isn't? Could have fooled me.
Know your audience?
You can’t even say he knows his audience because not that many people were actually laughing. Dude is so unfunny he couldn’t even get a Trump crowd up laugh at racist jokes.
I wonder what his jokes would look like mixed in with news footage from the last ICE crackdowns, and the news stories of women undergoing hysterectomies whilst in custody.
Play to your crowd. It's not shocking or unexpected for anyone unfortunate enough to know who this goon is. Part of that super unfunny punch down set that followed rogain from liberal California to...checks notes...the most liberal city in Texas, Austin.
I Imagine austinites hate these people lol. I know the conservatives that move to liberal cities in Ohio are very hated.
He’s giving strong weird relative at a family dinner table vibes by saying offensive things and then trying to ease the situation by saying “it’s just a joke, relax, you can’t take a joke!?” There’s a big difference between being funny and being an attention seeker.
Isn't this the same guy that said some off color stuff while roasting Tom Brady? That guy's name was Tony, and it was pretty heinous at times.
Yeah, he got famous after that roast I think. Now he has a show called Kill Tony that is based at Rogan's Austin club. People who like that group of comics think he's good. I haven't listened to his show myself.
Not that it matters much, but Kill Tony has been around since 2013 according to the asshole's Wikipedia page.
Oh wow I hadn't heard of him until a lot more recently than that. Maybe just when he moved his show to Rogan's club is what I was thinking was the start of Kill Tony.
Some decent comics pop up on Kill Tony on occasion, but, every time I've watched it, Tony himself has been deeply unfunny.
I didn't know much about him beyond that other than the association with Rogan, but this.... does not surprise me in the least.
The show came around way before that. Rogan has been dropping him up for years but it's taken off the last year or 2 thanks to a couple of comedians he was able to give exposure to.
I started out seeing clips on YouTube shorts and guys like kam Patterson are genuinely funny, but more and more it got weirder and weirder and I don't want that shit clogging up my algo so I skip it now.
