I would piss on this grave. Conservative comedy is possible. This was trash.

I have followed MDE for a while and the news of their highly rated show getting cancelled due to politics is very disheartening.

I don't know Sam or anything, but he just seems to me like a guy who really likes comedy and doesn't get wrapped up in what is popular opinion. He does things for comedy even if they aren't funny or even if they are just disgusting. As do a lot of comedians. A lot of the people who like that his show was cancelled admit they haven't even seen it. It was a funny show with some really poignant moments that didn't kowtow to identity politics and just poked fun at every one and I, as a liberal, really enjoyed it. Because it was funny. Anyway, they will be fine. gently caress Brett Gelman though for real.

A white dude in blackface (with corks in his nose to make his nose bigger) yelling about welfare is about as political as it gets

If the price for a show actually being funny is it has to be alt-right or whatever maybe we should just embrace it.

It's Hammer Time!
If Sam wasn't melting down super hard right now they'd probably have a good chance at keeping good relations with Adult swim and would probably have been able to pitch a new show later next year once the furor over Lazzo died down.

Going to war with Tim for ?Reasons? was a dumb loving move.

Yea I think people just want someone to blame and Tim just happens to fits the bill. Don't think there's any actual evidence of him doing anything. And then Sam got caught up in the narrative because he's a big dummy.

Anyone else checked out the book? The digital version's available now and it's really good. Wish I could've got a physical copy https://gumroad.com/l/yINac

I bought a physical copy of the book as soon as it was announced. No idea when it'll show up though.
