Yup, no reputable comedian has ever made observational humor about a group of people.

um excuse me posted:I guess I should be more specific. It's hard to describe making fun of a specific subset of people while not being offensive without the context of a comedy show. I feel like that actually got less specific, or maybe the point is just sailing over my head. Anyway, I definitely don't think that their brand of comedy encompasses all good comedy. But I don't think we are actually in much disagreement.

The McElroy's are vulgar, and also funny. What they avoid is anything that comes at the expense of minority groups they're not a part of. I don't see what social "subsets" we could be talking about other than something to do with race, nationality, or gender and sexual minorities. The guys constantly make fun of social groups like gamers, jugglers, whatever innocuous thing. It's possible to create comedy around those social groups, but as cis het white guys, the McEroy's have correctly spotted that any attempt to do that will come off as punching down.

Because someone will eventually make the assumption, I agree with the punching down thing.

I was thinking about how Justin said Munch Squad was kinda winding down recently and double checked, and man, Munch Squad had some LEGS for a bit. It's been nearly three years since the first Munch Squad. It's so weird to think that Munch Squad started around when I graduated college.

Pretty sure these press releases are their equivalent to Wendy's twitter. They do it for the spectacle, outage, and laughs. Their target market will never read a press release from a restaurant unless somebody else calls attention to it.

"Any press is good press" seems like a bit of a stretch for lovely fast food getting articles for doing dumb poo poo. At least, I can't think of a Munch Squad that made me think "gee, I haven't been to <resturuant> in awhile." Granted, I speak from a place of bias. BK is dogshit in Canada so no amount of being reminded of it's existence will ever make me want to go to one.Space Cadet Omoly posted:I just noticed this is the pin of the month: It's a good bit and I love the animatic. I wish they could have got permission from the creator to model the pin after it because the pin is not nearly doofy looking enough for my taste.
