IIRC yeah, he doesn't give a **** about ratings and broad appeal, and FX doesn't either, because he agreed to get paid next to nothing so long as they gave total creative freedom. Low budget, no salary for the writer/star.

I have taken pics with two people.

1) Construction management girl from about 90 mins outside Beijing who was taking a pic of me because I was the first white person she'd seen IRL. She was embarrassed that I saw her, so I had someone else take her phone and my photo together and everyone thought it was many lols.

2) about 1000 pics with my 24-year old tour guide yesterday who tried to photo bomb all my photos. She was also very touchy. I think the company I was dealing with sent her with me because she was the most attractive person at the company. "I think you are going to like your tour guide. Very young and slim." Uhh, ok Chinese dudes. Ok.

LCK is much more polished than DC imo. I really only liked one David Cross standup, SUYFB, I guess. The rest of his specials/stuff I haven't liked. And I am a Mr Show worshiper.

Generally agree. RIP indeed.

Generally underrated? Do you even cult comedy?

Art!

the last call was the worst one IMO. the 3point foul of Westbrook on Paul when he literally didn't touch Westbrook.

they NEVER call that with seconds left in the game unless it's really blatant. not only was the foul not blatant, there was not even contact.

I'll put $100 toward a downtown/Syndr0m/Montecore tall white foreigner China travel extravaganza where they walk around Chinese cities videotaping different rearry funny adventures.

put on Timberwolves jerseys and pretend to be in the NBA.

dress really flamboyantly and kiss each other in public.

get drunk and go to a nightclub and/or strip club.

etc.

It'll be like "An Idiot Abroad" except with more than one. I like it. I'll play the part of Gervais and Merchant both to save money/time.

I'm super tired, I need to be awake for the european stock market opening today (until at least 2am I guess). Not sure if I should try to nap or power through it.

Near miss for that top 5% law school getting a shout out.

Mostly women ... who are waaaaay more susceptible to that point of view for a bunch of reasons.

Na, his show changes. He's always working on the material. He starts off at some hole in the wall comedy club in NY with a 10 min set, then when he has that down he adds 10 more, then 10 more etc. Then when he goes on tour he tweeks it for a couple months sort of like editing a book. Then near the end of his tour he films a special releases it then never does that material again and starts over back at the first 10 minutes of his next special.

I think they'll be ok without you. Jesus you Texans are narcissistic.

I don't really see how this has anything to do with what I said except peripherally.

His delivery is a deliberately fake sort of folksy thing. When you see it one time, or in a special, it's not quite so obvious as when you see him live and you realize, I've seen this exact bit, done exactly this way, in a video of him before.

I mean, of COURSE that's how it works. It's not a criticism, exactly, just an observation. With some comics, they Tell Jokes and so it's clear from the get go that they have gotten the delivery of Telling This Joke down cold. But the way he does standup is more like your uncle telling you a story over beers in the back yard so when you encounter the fact that it's actually a well-polished one man play, it just feels a little weird.

I'm not sure about the timing of all of his video specials relative to when he does all his shows so this might not have always been the case; but I've seen him live 2 times and it's been all original material that he had essentially completed and was just working on fine tuning before filming the special. His stated reason for why he does it this way is to avoid exactly what you describe. He doesn't want to go out and rehash a live show that people have seen him perform previously on video.

You're blind bro. He got a bunch of elbow/wrist. Plenty of good vids/screen grabs showing it.

Westbrook wouldn't miss a shot way wide and short if he weren't hit.

Fact is Chris Paul had about the worst 40s stretch I've seen a super star have. Spent one possession dribbling until 3s on the shot clock then passed to Crawford 30ft from the hoop.

Awful awful turnover up 4.

Awful foul on 3pt shooter up 2.

Turnover (though he got hit on the reach here).

European stock market. Lol. Here's a baguette. It's worth 3 packs of cigarettes. No don't make that trade I'll give you some daffodils. No I got brats. Sorry guys sold for a ruskie bride.

Sure but people individually tape pieces of his shows. I'd definitely seen some of the pieces before, and/or heard audio recordings of them.

Yeah, we're going to need to see pictures.

lol bahston

I'm going to let you finish but working +13 hours from your home time zone is the greatest time zone difference ever.

lol so don't ****ing spoiler yourself? Christ.

Srs bro all attractive chinese girls look exactly the same. Skinny. No butts. No boobs. Attractive faces. It's ok, but not really my thing. Would hold door from 100m / would not tip fedora.

My NHL hate has been mostly satiated after the second round.

Yeah I've done some APAC shift, that **** is no fun. Although if I'm just sticking around for the open it's not too bad, just a slightly late day. But if I need to be online the whole day it's AIDS.

on that note, I need a new avatar and am currently taking submissions

Would you like my Haters gonna Hate Red Wings one?

that might make me feel better

hmmm....

It would be only less infuriating.
