I used to listen to Carrollas podcast before trump became a thing (his sucking up to trump was the last straw). It’s hilariously stupid that he’d make a cartoon about his favorite teacher who caught him how to do carpentry… a career he hated more than anything else in the world!!

Ah yes the great podcast subscription purge of November 2016. I was in that boat. I never looked back.

He recycled this idea for the last 20 years. It’s a lot like telling the same stories and jokes on a podcast.

That was around the time I stopped being a regular Real Time with Bill Maher watcher. I'd stopped listening to Carolla maybe 3-4 years prior to that, and kind of for the same reasons: The host, who I'd originally found to be clever and fun, started seeming pettier and pettier, with lazier bits, the same recycled bitching points (initially aimed at extreme folks, then increasingly old man yells at cloud/young person).

I can't tell if they were both ALWAYS out of touch, or if they gradually kind of became that way over the years due to a number of factors (likely wealth and notoriety, and being surrounded by sycophants and dudebros), but it was a bummer realization for me to put their content out of my life.

Bill Maher always told the one weed joke and the crowd would stop and cheer. So edgy

u/Beginning_Band7728 avatar

Maher pulled a Jen Bush “please clap” moment last episode, something he does kind of often. When he doesn’t get the applause he expects he shoehorns the audience into doing it. What a nerd.

They've always been shitheads, you just grew out of them.

For me it was about a year after the pirate ship and he couldn’t stop exclaiming how smart he was for his bathroom door plan to let people know it smells

I dropped out when he fired “fake Teresa”, or Allison.

u/LaithA avatar

That was when I ducked out as well. I had already been feeling he was going downhill, but was still listening because of nostalgia from Loveline or something. Once Allison was gone I saw the writing on the wall.

I should have known at that point…

God, i remember during the first trump eleftion period he went on Faux News and they interviewed him on his opinions of the homeless in California...

I was like...why are you jnterviewing a millionaire in his private expensive car garage about his experiences with homeless people?

Yeah, I was an old school loveline fan and listened to ACS for a while but his brain got melted by the culture war stuff and it’s sad.

It happened way before that. I remember buying the audio book of his autobiography and there was no funny. Just old man whining.

They are still ironically talking about "triggering snowflakes". These mother fuckers get butthurt at every little thing.

Too busy being butthurt to come up with new jokes.

To be fair, Adam has been making the same shitty jokes for over twenty years.

The Mr birchum character was a bit that he would do as a call in on a radio morning show in the 90s. Kevin and bean on kroq. Him and jimmy kimmel used to call in with different bits. Mr birchum was one of those recurring bits

Wasn't he also a character on crankyankers?

Already seen bits of it, it's pretty softball jokes no where near offensive, since its humor is so outdated and out of touch. Just perfect for their target audience. Old and out of touch, who think vegan jokes are still the thing...

They have a different label for when they do it though. They’re being “based”, pretending it’s different.

It's still 2014 in their world

Are they still talking about it ironically, or is it ironic that they're still talking about it? Not to be pedantic, genuinely curious!

It's more about knowing the shit is gonna be funny and not censored pc comedy.

u/Dredmart avatar

The vast majority of famous comedians are left wing. Your ilk are the only ones trying to be PC. That's why you ban books, why you're only able to make washed up media that's more outdated than your soul, and why you bitch and moan about minorities existing. Hell, the daily wire came out with a milquetoast western, and your ilk got offended by a woman existing in it.

This show is, just like the rest of you, outdated and unfunny. It just used jokes from decades ago, ones that are inoffensive and boring. They have to appeal to Christian right wingers after all, and they get the vapors when someone simply curses.

Your humor is old, boring and as inoffensive as a Your mama joke.

u/Able-Campaign1370 avatar

Mostly the MAGA types go for really low-brow, unsophisticated humor that happens at the expense of others.

Gotta love how they release a show on the Daily Wire and pretend like anyone but conservatives will be watching/paying for it. It's like saying Ru Paul's Drag Race triggers conservatives. It's not being watched by conservatives, that isn't who it's clearly marketed towards.

But then they know that acting like they're releasing something that'll piss off liberals is their best way to get their base interested and watching.

u/goresmash avatar

RuPauls Drag Race does trigger conservatives though, because it exists.

It’s all projection, conservatives are “triggered” by anything with a different perspective even existing, and since they’re obviously more rational than Liberals/the left we must also be equally triggered by their content. When in reality, most people I know could give one wet shit about anything daily wire puts out.

More replies

Oh yeah, we’ll be so triggered by a cartoon on a conservative streaming service by one of the most washed up has-beens of comedy.

I constantly find myself triggered by shows that are not aimed at me and not watched, talked about or enjoyed by anyone.

Am I supposed to know who Adam Carolla is?

No. He’s a washed up talentless hack. Jimmy Kimmel carried his unfunny ass for years.

I read that as "taintless hack."

u/Top-Philosophy-5791 avatar

He's a very old frat boy, pay no mind.

He was ok on Loveline an eternity ago.

Both Doctor Drew and Adam Carolla have issues at this point though.

They had issues to some extent back then, too. I distinctly remember them telling people they were losers for going to community colleges.

Trust me, we're all gonna be triggered by a show that half of us didn't even know existed until now; Daily Wire has our days numbered!

For real like most people aren’t going to see this or even know about it. It will only cut through if it’s so bad that’s it’s almost funny, then Left leaning outlets will play clips to poke fun at it. That’s the best it can do. If it’s just boring and moderately unfunny no one will care enough. So it’s likely only going to be seen or known of by people who are so deeply siloed that they are subscribing to Daily Wire. You’re completely off the deep end at that point. Not quite rock bottom, which would be donating to TPUSA or PragerU, but it’s close.

What I see here though is a failing streaming platform that is having to pivot to a cheaper medium (voice-over cartoon) because their movie offerings are so trash. The thing they failed to calculate is how saturated and trite the adult cartoon lane is, I’m honestly surprised so many of them still get greenlit.

u/skeptic9916 avatar

Yeah the libs are totally going to get triggered by media they don't consume on a pay walled conservative platform (money laundering operation).

Conservatives are so salty that they have no meaningful presence in art that they have to create their own safe space for their inferior product with no marketability outside their echo chamber.

nailed it

This makes Brickleberry and its sequels look like Moral Orel in comparison.

I feel bad for Danny Trejo. He’s cut from the mold of Keith David and Nicholas Cage, he’ll accept anything. But sometimes it’s best to just say no.

They somehow got the guy that voices Joe from Family Guy and Kronck. That's kinda of a let down too. Hopes those two aren't buying into the DW BS and just got hired unknowing what the job was and just collecting a check

Something that companies like Daily Wire do is they hire voice actors from a talent agency under a shell name...that way the VA won't know who exactly they're working for until the show premieres

Seems like he is a conservative but not a MAGA trumper.

What's the difference?

He doesn't like trump and said he didn't vote for him 🤷‍♂️

He considers himself a conservative Christian, but he's liberal on some social issues. He's not a MAGA guy, at least.

I recently worked with Danny Trejo and while he is a very nice man he is almost 80 years old and his children seem to “handle” him. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are also the ones making decisions about his career and just telling him ok dad we’re going to do a commercial for insurance today and tomorrow you’re doing the voiceover for that cartoon.

oh boy, another shitty (and probably politically motivated) show that’ll last only a season and then fade into irrelevancy.

Idk, it's the daily wire. They prop up terrible politically motivated stuff all the time that can't even fade into irrelevancy because it was never relevant. It wouldn't surprise me if it lasted multiple seasons.

That which is dead may never die - the Grayjoys game of thrones

Talking head shows cost nothing to produce. Animation is more expensive comparatively. It will last 8 episodes.

True enough. I guess it depends on how much is grift and how much is ignorance. If it's more grift then you're likely right that when the money isn't there they'll back off, otherwise we'll see. You're probably right, though; When the grift isn't working they'll likely drop it and move on.

Adam Carolla is a white trash asshole who makes money by telling other white trash assholes what they want to hear.

I'm triggered more so that companies keep green lighting these adult generic adult cartoons trying to ride on the success of other generic shitty cartoons no one liked. Like others have pointed out, this is just Brickleberry. All I need is this image and I can guarantee you that's basically all it is. I don't know anyone who liked it, and Netflix already tried to steal from it.

“Triggers snowflakes.” 😂
