One time I told someone that I was headed home to Seattle when I was actually going slightly outside Seattle and I got a bunch of annoying follow ups. However, that was because it was a border guard wondering why I said that when my driver's license said otherwise (I was born and raised in Seattle plus worked there still).

That isn’t crowd work, that is an old man being given one of the topics of his ten stock rants and doing a bit that was old in 2000

Jesus christ are we still doing “i dont want to order grande i want to order a large” in 2023, just go to the gas station and get a coffee, adam, you are choosing to go to starbucks

Aside but Stavros Halkias (best crowdwork comic I've ever seen at least) reminds me of Loveline Adam talking to callers. They have empathy, want to help, and they glide through easier surface jokes so they can work close to the core of things. Similar kind of Italian/Greek white trash dude sensibility. Stavros does it with a lot more infectious joy, though, and it probably also helps to be a goofy loveable fat guy.

I think it's Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen making fun of Stavros.

Crowd work is sort of notoriously the refuge of hack comedians, for what that's worth. I thought The Hammer was pretty good but, that aside, unfortunately Adam's best comedic talent was essentially riffing off crowd work.

There are plenty of funny crowdwork comedians but that was like going to a jeff dunham show and him asking the audience for a topic, they are gonna serve up a suggestion of one of his old favorites

I bet the next random surprise topic was work ethic, and after that, maybe an audience member brought up snowflakes and how the kids nowadays are soft

Now that i went back and listened to some more of that great standup, it always makes me laugh when adam starts talking about how hard it was for the donner party, the soldiers at iwo jima, and the bombers who flew over dresden

Adam, you did construction for like three years and stumbled drunkenly into a radio job and have failed upward ever since, the gently caress is this hard man of tough choices routine you are playing at

Sometimes I think about Adam when he talked about No Country For Old Men, after regretting that he was a dismissive of Josh Brolin for the 85th time, that his favorite character in the movie was the trailer park manager. Anton Chigurh is this severe and malevolent force of nature and Adam was just thrilled that this sassy housecat behind a desk was still having none of his poo poo and was the only character in the story to not succumb to him (the gas station owner still had to flip a coin).

Terrible as twitter is, it still has the great feature that you can use it to tell awful people how much they suck and there's a good chance they'll read it. Not surprising to hear he's still griping about masks, probably got at least a couple canned rants out of the subject he can rehash for years
