i agree that would be so much better, and it really gets at everything that sucks about jeselnik: he tries so hard to be offensive that nothing winds up being funny.
Too bad there’s no 8.5 Pitchfork review of one of his specials. Your head would explode.

It’s funny from one perspective, insulting from another, and boring to the rest of us.

The best stand-up is delivered by no-names on Kill Tony IMO.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

you rated sicario a 7.9 or some shit so your opinions will forever be dubious at best
You think Moves Like Jagger is a masterpiece or some shit so you're a certified imbecile.

Moves Like Jagger is a 10 in the arena of dogshit music for vapid dummies. Sicario is great film, but it isn't perfect.

All I'm getting from this is that you throw around 10s too liberally. And that if you posted on social media you'd be the type to "like" your own posts. Neither is ideal, and I hope you find it in yourself to do better.
