GOOCHY posted:Spicer is not the put upon, good guy that some of you folks wish he is. Just because he got ran roughshod by Donald Trump on a daily basis doesn't mean that he's a sympathetic character in all of this. I'm sure someone is going to  me about this, but a lot of people really like to create a head canon about public figures in which they can't be so bad after all once you get to know them. Instead of seeing Spicer as a groveling piece of poo poo who sold his soul for scraps at the table, people start to view him as a sympathetic punching bag who's trying his best in a world of insanity.

If there's one thing you can count on, it's that Spicer signed a loving airtight NDA.

I don't think anyone believes he is, it's just a funny joke to picture him as a Charlie Brown figure after all of his big flubs and his retreat into the bushes. Every time he got up to the podium, it was like that scene in the West Wing when Josh gives the press briefing.

He wanted him to keep having to do the work while the new guy got the glory? If that's the case then I expect Trump to say mean things about him pretty soon.

This sounds like a great turn of direction.. for those who enjoy seeing total debacles which this will be. The only way it could be better is if they let him brief the press.

Every time he got up to the podium, it was like that scene in the West Wing when Josh gives the press briefing. I don't think this is SNL's problem to solve, but I do kind of think that turning someone into a beloved character on that show softens them a bit. Nobody's going to suddenly think he's good at his job because he's ridiculed of course, but I think ridicule can kind of end up masking someone's bad intentions. Trump's probably benefited from this too, though not from SNL so much as the general perception that he's a moron rather than a monster.

He seems like Toadwart from gummy bears or something. Like he's a lying scumbag nonstop who is also kicked in the stomach by trump nonstop. It doesn't make spicer a good guy, but stuff like trump letting everyone but him meet the pope is just such a petty sort of mean spirited it's abnormal. It's like if hitler carried a photo of gobbel's dick around to show girls to laugh at how small it was or something. It doesn't make either person seem sympathetic, it's just such a weird sort of highschool meanness it has a different reaction.

SNL's buffoon president version of him was really likable. I'm not sure Trump gets the same. They're really, really brutal on him, and don't show any positive aspects at all that I've seen.
