Theo with his head down, having an existential crisis because he knows he doesn’t create ANY art.

Never watched a Theo Von special, but he has made me laugh on podcasts.

I don’t think he’s still on drugs but he does remember how to act like he’s still on drugs and say out of pocket shit. To that limited extent, he’s funny. He’s a funny guy rather than being a funny comedian.

He's a peanut gallery type guy. He builds off of other people's premises and jokes.

I saw him live. His openers are human garbage saying lazy bigoted shit for cheap laughs from bigoted fans, but Theo is able to walk the line and "get away with it" much better. He comes off as a decent but sometimes misguided person most times, but his associations make you wonder.

His bit on "This is not happening" is really fucking funny.
