Jesus, apologize for being insensitive and move on. I just get tired of everybody wanting a pound of flesh for every mistake. I'm sure NBC did their due diligence and approved it.
It’s kind of hilarious because so many of these guys that are so sensitive to diversity issues always laugh at me for being French canadian(it’s fine, I am proud anyway) but it’s wild how hypocritical they are sometimes. Most of them are alright though and sure racism needs to be fucking over
When I visit the us I get laughed at for my accent all the fucking time. I get the difference and it should not happen on national television, and it’s not even funny
Dave Chappell has entire bits about white male accents and I don’t give a shit. Are all white males pretentious aloof professionals? No. Is Dave portraying them as that funny. Yes. Is it racist. No. If I had a fraction of the talent Chef has I’d keep my nose clean, fuck tons of young chicks (or dudes if that is your thing), and make money. Frankly I think he is an idiot for knowingly stirring up shit.
Being called a hoser means absolutely nothing to me to be honest, kind of like a cracker or a frog....frog is probably the worst But I can always come back very easily to any of you guys, you live in a country that now has donald trump as president.
I haven’t listened to Chef’s pod personally, but I think getting offended over a bit that a comedian does is kinda dumb. I don’t see rednecks hooting and hollering about Jeff foxworthy, or many other situations of racial humor. There is a certain amount of creative license in comedy and it’s not like he was participating in any kind of hate speech in the videos. If you don’t like his humor that’s perfectly fine, no one is going to force you to consume his content. There will undoubtedly be an attempt at him losing his shot at a “big break” as a result of this and I personally think that’s wrong.
I think the problem with this particular bit is that it wasn’t funny at all. This coming from someone who watches the Racial Draft on a regular basis. If you’re gonna push that boundary, it needs to be funny.
You guys are viewing this from a white male lens. My Asian friend I texted that to literally texted me back "I hope that guy's dick falls off." I guess this is the last I'll post of it since you guys seem to be cool with it because he's an ND fan, but it's a kinda pathetic form of comedy, and if you don't see why it's bad that a white male is picking on minorities in their "comedy", I dunno what to say. They aren't even jokes - he's making fun of accents and saying shit like "Chinatown, that sucks because *expletive* live there, doesn't it?" If that's funny to you, enjoy I guess.
I don’t even know what to say anymore, it can be cheeky and fun but using the word chinks? That’s just offensive and dumb and not funny.
I don’t particularly care that he’s an Nd fan and him and I often didn’t see eye to eye on here. I don’t get offended by anything really. I just personally think if you’re getting so upset about a comedy bit that you want to ruin a guys career then you need to get a grip.
If this keeps him from getting the job I can’t really argue that, but I have to believe SNL was aware of all this so it will be shitty if they don’t stand by him after putting his name out there.
Guys I got a PM from a Canadian poster who will remain nameless asking, essentially, if I was being a dick on purpose or just joking I told him I just really liked the movie Strange Brew by known racist Steve Moranis. The unnamed Canadian poster claimed he didn’t know what the movie was. What the fuck.
Pretty sure his uncle or grandfather was a Monogram member. Ask the new intern to update his profile to note his ND affiliation.
Another bonus, I have something on Saturday night so I won’t be drinking during the day. I should not be too panicky
If anybody wants to stop by tomorrow, for those of you that have been around it's the same spot. If you haven't, it's near pole 6 in front of Purcell. Ask for Byron. They don't get my e-friend lifestyle.
What the fuck did I wake up to? My best friend is Asian and thought Chef Goldblum was hilarious. And thought I was weird as fuck for referring to him as “my buddy from the internet”.
Fine. I'm cool with talking more about this dude. Pretty interesting that he was banned from his comedy club for racist and homophobic comments. Seems like a good guy that I love our fanbase is supporting. https://www.theatlantic.com/enterta...-cant-ignore-its-shane-gillis-problem/598033/ Megh Wright of Vulture has already extensively reported on Gillis’s history of lazily offensive comedy, most of it from podcast episodes as recent as 2018. A subreddit devoted to his podcast (which has already been locked from public viewing) is reportedly “filled with homophobic slurs,” while one Philadelphia comedy-theater owner told Wright she had banned Gillis “because of racist, homophobic, and sexist things he’s said on and offstage.”
Man, I really missed throwing a fit about the White Claw title... I mean I get your upset, but damn. Otherwise, go team?
