Daou's power continues to increase more than we could ever hope to comprehend.

The Chapo gang really needs to do a special episode chronicling his evolution.

I see it as Matt showing pics of his tweets to the others while they are tied to wheelchairs, Red-Dragon style.

God, what the hell could this mean? Does he expect Facebook to act out of some sense of duty? Too bad that there isn't any sort of ruling body for the country that could enact regulations that this business would need to follow.

It helps to express yourself with a magnetic dipshit confidence that makes dumb people think a simplistic piece that resonates with their biases is really smart and they're really smart for reading it because it has some nouns they don't recognize. Friedman is natural born Dunning Kruger whisperer.

Most things normal people do can be explained by how they have a weird family member that just got out of prison for being “the bootleg dvd guy of the greater tri-state area.”

My cousin in law, who I just met for the first time at a wedding, got kicked out of Yale for running a fake ID operation so big it got him investigated by Homeland Security.

Fortunately, his dad is a rich retired doctor who lives on a golf resort.

Always read to me like shorthand for a small, lovely life, like nobody in your family ever gets away from home or had anyone better to hang out with other than the cousins you're just friends with by default at childhood.

I bet it's because Felix is Jewish. That's a stereotype, right? Was Larry David related to the Funkhousers, or did he just seem to be involved with their family a lot?

"Funkhouser" is such a great name.

It fits into his larger “dumb lying guy” cinematic universe. I’m not sure if you’ve spent a lot of time with dumb lying guys or not, but they always have some kind of weird relation with some weirdo who’s done something improbable. Felix is trying to play off this stereotype.

I have a cousin who was always telling me weird stories (with absolutely zero prompting) about how his balls almost died, how he drank a fifth of vodka and was fine, how he discovered a ghost, how his girlfriend made fun of his disfigured genitalia, etc...

The punchline is that when I investigated how we were actually related, with the base assumption that he was a step cousin in law, is that there was actually zero relation and everyone called him a brother/cousin/nephew just to avoid explaining how they knew this guy.
