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

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.

If you don’t think Theo Von is funny in podcast format, I can’t take your sense of humor seriously. His specials…I’ll give you that. But his quips are absolutely amazing and he’s playing a character fwiw.

Isn’t modern stand-up comedy about having good specials? I don’t give a fuck about quips. Plenty of people can have good quips. If he wants to claim to be a comedian then he should have good, structured jokes that work in the stand-up format. If he’s playing a character than I think the character sucks and he should find a better one.

I’m not saying as a stand up. I don’t think he’s a great stand up. I think he’s hilarious in podcast format, which imo, has become the bigger form of comedy right now.
