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.

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.

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.
