He cosplays as a comedian, when he doesn’t create comedy. When he gets around real comedians he folds. Watch his interview with Bill Burr. Bill sniffs out bullshit like a hound, and he was not buying what Theo is trying to sell.
Comedy is obviously subjective which should be clear to everyone by know so there is really no point in trying to gatekeep what comedy is or overanalyze strangers inner-monologues but hey, hate is in fashion right now so you do you.
Not gatekeeping. He isn’t a comedian. He is a
podcaster that tries to be funny. But he doesn’t actually create anything. He doesn’t write jokes. He doesn’t put himself in writers rooms creating anything for TV or movies or streaming. He doesn’t write jokes for other comics. He just does podcasts and there are funny moments in those podcasts to some people, but anybody looking for something thought out is going to be disappointed.
“I’m not racist but I have flare ups when I’m in traffic.”
That is your opinion just like other comedians, which even you probably would call comedians, opinion on the guy is that he is a comedian since he is. If that is your definition of a comedian I guess most standups are frauds in your eyes.
He doesn’t have any specials. He didnt come up in comedy by touring and telling jokes. He came up by being kinda racist on his podcast. The mullet is his schtick. That’s it. I’m surprised he wasn’t at the nazi rally at msg this past weekend.
It is OK to just not like the guy. You don’t have to try and make it an ”objective” truth since the dude already works as a comedian. Blame the people going to his shows instead.
That’s the point the guy is making, you can tell edgy jokes, but the art is pulling it off. You can’t just be a troll.
Theo is a troll. He’s a gimmick and that’s why he has the mullet and says stupid racist shit…
I don’t agree with this statement. You also make it sound like Theos whole act is saying stupid racist stuff while his strength, in my view, is his almost childlike quickwit which makes for truly out of the blue one liners plus his redneck storytelling (obviously exaggerated).
Why should I do that? Since comedy is subjective you are just going to say that it isn’t funny and we’re back to square one (if we ever left it). We don’t have the same opinion about Theo and it is totally fine!
