[Chris_H_2]

Jeselnik is very funny. I'm also going to see him. Fun fact: He was the same year at me at Tulane and my buddy is very good friends w/ his podcast co-host Gregg Rosenthal.

[BurtReynolds]

I'll give him a try

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

this is your argument that he's actually funny?

hey guys, trag doesn't like anthony jeselnik, so he's making up things that other people didn't say.

I did not remember the second sentence being included in that tweet, I would say it is better without it actually.

will you commit right here and now to the premise that this joke wasn't funny?

who am i to say what is or isn't funny in comedy/satire? it's not an objective, binary standard.

stop being so uptight. you sound like people in the comments to an Onion tweet.

[Jorge]

Team Trag, that joke fucking sucks and not because it's offensive
