Its pretty funny for Matt Groening to go right for the Family Guy joke so quickly, seems like a clever guy.

as a pushy cosmopolitan fan who knows his parasocial limits, I judge Ricky to be pathetically unappreciative of Groening's time

I would have abrasively claimed Humboldt County CA is the more "legit hippie descendant" of westcost communities than Portland OR, then apologized a bunch of times asking for him to draw a patented M. G. caricature of :frogout:

i've never actually watched a minute of his stuff but i do remember about 12 years ago or whenever, it was just constant 'gently caress dane cook he should go away' from everybody i knew and then i guess he did because it abruptly stopped and now he's almost never mentioned

He was super popular among like frat guys and college aged women and then got accused of stealing jokes by Louis C.K. while Louis was enjoying a meteoric rise.

yeah the only time i've ever seen him on screen for more than 5 seconds was the episode of the louis show he did which seemed to be a sort of make up/redemption deal

i dunno if he actually did steal louis's jokes but if it comes out that he was public masturbating at the time then i guess we'll know for sure

i always wondered how much joke theft/story plagiarism is actual theft and not just a coincidence because there's really only so many ways to make that stuff work and with 8 billion people in the world some people are going to have the same idea

or hell even just someone heard the idea from someone else but was drunk or forgot about it for the most part but it stuck around in their head so they thought it was their idea

There was a GHOST here.

The only Dane Cook skit I ever saw was about how kicking in a stranger's door and not stealing anything would be worse than stealing poo poo. I remember it as pretty funny, so maybe it was a stolen bit.

I dunno, I don't watch standup unless someone shows it to me.

I know guys who thought that Edward Norton's character in American History X was "badass" and didn't think past that point, same with American Psycho.

People suck at understanding movies, broadly.

As soon as Edward Norton stops being racist he is murdered...

Zoolander is a good movie in that the message in it is that big businesses in the first world take advantage of developing countries' lack of labor laws and will do anything to maintain the status quo. It is a bad movie because that message gets lost in the stupid antics of the rest of the film.

the stuff with him painting in food-paste to prevent insanity is pretty real

and it's funny cause Mr. Monke tricks him out of the cryosleep chamber (and later adventures), thus ensuring the good Planet of the Apes Movies in that timeline

joke theft is like song theft. basically every comedian/musician does it, but only the really stupid ones steal from sources that are easily traceable

like, one of the best bands ever is Manu Negra. but they're one of those bands that just straight up uses other bands riffs and was never sued for it.

"letter to the censors" is literally just "ace of spades":

Song theft usually only amounts to anything when the song in question is a big hit.

I watch a lot of standup and there is soo much crossover between jokes and different comedians. I feel like it's rare that I watch a special where I don't see a bit that someone else hasn't already done. I think people subconsciously rip stuff off or just land on the same joke because it's inevitable. Some comedians seem to think their dick jokes are truly special and that they are the only ones who could have come up with it.

This is so stupid. The way people like him talk you would think the right to free speech also gives them the right to a captive audience.

There is no great conspiracy. Maybe nobody wants to hear what you have to say, Ricky.

Also, you've never been funny. Ever.

I land like 2 out of 5 of the jokes I attempt, a batting average which puts me way out of Ricky's league
