A certain kind of comedy is basically a sermon (lookin at you Nanette) and apparently this has convinced Dave Chappelle he's a priest ok not really but I do think this is an ego thing, it is with all older famous comedians who suddenly find that there is a limit to what they're allowed to say and estimate this to be the greatest injustice of all time

to my recollection, his latest special (where he tells zero jokes) features him referring to himself as the GOAT comedian with great confidence and no trace of irony

the mulaney/chapelle thing is kinda disappointing but it has been amusing to see (self-id'ed) "tumblr queers" act like they've been personally betrayed because they think they made mulaney's career. like it must be a bummer if you're a huge fan but i don't think the tumblr community is v responsible for his popularity

loquacius posted:It's embarrassing how often people need to be reminded the internet isn't real life It's more like, people need to be reminded how limited their powers is to make something popular, when it has Hollywood, and huge marketing machines behind it. But nobody has really studied how big the internet entertainment machine is. My folks saw a commercial for that DnD cartoon based on Critical Role. And I will not be surprised if in 3 years they are telling me about Dungeons and Dragons while watching a live play of DnD. (Note, I accidentally stopped watching tv/radio and film in 2003 and to my family I basically plead stupidity to any and all pop culture. It's actually really helpful because you see how popular stuff with people who are not plugged in. Especially when they explain it to you. )

Eh, there are certain people whose careers you could reliably say were "made" by self-identified Tumblr queers; these are generally much smaller and humbler careers along the lines of the Homestuck guy or the McElroy brothers. John Mulaney is not one of these people.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Chappelle's Show was formative for me, but it was on the air at exactly the right age for me and my friends and it's been a huge bummer watching him turn into just another reactionary boomer. Oh well.

Also iirc his first big standup special had jokes in it about how he wanted to make midget jokes on TV and thought censoring them was stupid so I dunno how people built up this image of him

John Mulaney may have gotten to do a pilot of a TV show which didn't get picked up because it sucked; the McElroys got an entire (short) season of TV made! On a small streaming network which immediately went out of business and whose name I have forgotten. That's what internet-only fame gets you

I think they had the mbmbam show, the Cyanide & Happiness show, and Harmonquest as their flagships Of those, only Harmonquest had any real institutional notoriety behind it but actually watching it was a lot like a mediocre podcast with animation stapled on top of it; I didn't get the sense Harmon really gave poo poo one about it as a project
