I voice my distaste for the article in much much less offensive terms than anything posted in the article itself and naturally they delete the whole thing. Comment is Free my arse.

...and the people whining about Stewart Lee just make this whole thing more amusing to me. You do realise this is exactly what he does best whether you like it or otherwise? It's exactly the same as Clarkson being a fat, mildly racist, opinionated stuck-in-the-80s dickhead. That's his whole 'thing'. I'm lollin'

He's not going to ruin your fun so getting angry about it is just dumb and that's what's making me smile. He's utterly inconsequential. He shouldn't matter to you because he doesn't matter. Getting annoyed about poo poo that doesn't matter is tumblr's fort.

People realise that Lee is like Clarkson in that he plays up an exaggerated caricature of himself to get a rise out of people right? What people are posting about Lee in the thread right now is the mirror image of the posters that come in here whining about some supposed slight of Clarkson's that they've taken out of context.

Oh Jesus stop bitching about Lee. The bit about may being the alpha male in the group was hilarious. If you can't laugh at someone tearing down your idols then you probably can't take someone making fun of you which probably makes you a bit of a douche. I'm not saying you have to enjoy the act but to get upset about it is as stupid as, well Lee is about top gear, which is part of the charm.

Someone with a stick up his rear end about Top Gear, wishing that Hammond would actually have died during his drag racer crash. Unclear how serious the latter part was, but he was pretending to be serious about it during his shtick.

I should just troll the thread instead and call everyone out for being thin-skinned babies no better than those on tumblr who take every slight personally.

Everyone knows the best comedians are the ones where you must laboriously explain their act and defend them from criticism. That's why Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Eddie Izzard, Lenny Bruce, Sam Kinison, Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, and Louis CK are considered so mediocre; everyone knows they're just too "jokesy" and "humorous." Hannibal Buress posted:Wait, wait, wait. Comedic jokes? As opposed to all the other types of jokes that are out there. Am I missing out on a genre of jokes?
