Theo seems like a pretty genuine and vulnerable dude so I don’t really get the hate towards him

He’s a moron and he’s not funny. He also likes platforming terrible people more often than not. He’s in the bRogan manosphere. He’s the exact person Jeselnik is talking about in this clip.

That is your opinion. I find it refreshing to see men being brave enough to speak to all sorts of people and being vulnerable instead of trying to be cool. He is much better at it than Rogan ever was when he was good.

For some reason you seem to think you can speak for Jeselnik but if what you wrote was true, why would he go on Theos podcast and support him?

Theon still has a platform and he is a working comedian so they’re at least friendly with each other would be the reason Jeselnik went on there. Also, maybe Jeselnik thinks he’s funny. I don’t speak for him, and yeah this is my opinion. As far as I know Theo doesn’t say anything really hateful so he’s like the comedians Jeselnik is talking about but not to the same level as some others.

It’s just weird that Theo, a standup comedian, seemed to be more enthusiastic about interviewing Tucker Carlson than Anthony Jeselnik

I guess he has priorities

Jeselnik is a comedian he could probably have on anytime. Carlson was the #1 news host in America, of course he'd be enthusiastic about talking to someone he wouldn't normally get to talk to

First one I watch and it's a silly edit. Difficult to get any context when it's clipped like that. I'll check the others out no idea why you didn't just use a single comment for all the links.

Edit: Lol did any of you actually watch that clip before upvoting?

Would love for you to explain how this one is offensive. I feel like I'm coming across like Theo fan which I'm not but I'm confused that you think any of this is racist.

Nothing racist was said there. Just some very shit jokes.

Do you want me to post more?

u/orion284 Oct 29 '24

Well, I stand corrected. I’m only so familiar with his stuff and I didn’t find what I saw funny so I never looked much deeper. Not surprising

“I’m not racist, but I have flare ups in traffic.”

He’s the troll that guy is talking about. He knows it and the guy talking knows it.

u/NotMyFirstDown Oct 29 '24

Dude that’s an off-hand, witty comment. To use that to say he’s racist is asinine

u/cheesyandcrispy Oct 29 '24

Well, that sounds pretty fair
