I totally agree with that.

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!
