hey gawker dudes. what the fuck is wrong with you?

RT and Fav.

1 RT = 1 LOL, fav for hearty chuckle

btw i submitted a humblebrag once and he RTed it

humblebrag was a p brilliant observation imo

People who work in comedy are kind of unique in that they enjoy discussing the thing they've chosen as a career, often with people who also do comedy, which I know is difficult to understand since that's not a thing people in other fields ever do.

um no mr sarcasm the thing thats hard to understand is why you like hearing them discuss it

correction its not hard to understand i just dont like it

I'm sure there are podcasts of geologists discussing geology with other geologists and geology is cool and all but I'm not really interested in that discussion and I'm able to avoid engaging with it and making a big deal about how I don't like it. Except I guess I just did, mea culpa geology fans.

so yr saying i shd just avoid them and not say they are bad, sorry buddy dont u know to always say yes in improv

what a boring thread and topic for all you good posters to be on for so long

actually this is a very good thread topic

actually its about ethics in journalism games

i read the original beef. why was gawker reporting on which nbc writers' scripts tested poorly with audiences? i would be annoyed too if someone, based on stray bits of information from random sources, decided to publicly investigate my job performance

um its called blogging hello

test audience results (as opposed to reviews or ratings) are just kind of a pointless metric, a fair amount of good movies have tested poorly w/ focus groups and shit and plenty of bad movies have tested fairly well

so if the original intent of the piece was to zing him & others it's just a weak barometer of quality I guess

there is nothing nerdier than comedy

there are many things much nerdier than comedy

true confessions: one of my circa 2010 tweets when I was all on my own dick and generally being an arrogant prick and embarrassing myself w/r/t my unearned "success" ended up in the humblebrag book and, five years later, the existence of said book serves as a constant reminder of how not to act as an adult.

dang that is kinda some real shit

i mean there's partially a) I was caught in a moment where dude is better at social media "face" (word to cankles) than me and got busted, but b) it caught me at a moment where I was kind of buying my own social media persona and feeling invincible and it was just one of three monumental public faceplants that occurred in one 24 hour period

What were the other two? :=}

nah

cn u link us to the humblebrag at least

linking to a humblebrag is kind of a humblebrag, no?

its ok no one cn report u now he died
