This was what I thought as well. He's probably succeeded because he's hardworking and is friends with the right people, and not because he's funny in any way.

Doesn't he have a manager who could say something? He seems to be pals with a lot of stand ups--shouldn't they stage an intervention or something.

You know how people get their news from late night talk shows more and more often nowadays? Well, Conan and Leno and Letterman are beacons of journalistic integrity compared to Colin Quinn.

his twitter account is really the pinnacle of his comedic career, isn't it?
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 30 April 2012 17:48 (eleven years ago) link
it is, and maybe I haven't paid him enough attention lately, but it's a totally different style of humor than what he's known for

really it was an inevitability that the pinnacle of his career wouldn't involve him speaking

Twitter ideally suited for someone who can't form sentences
he can WRITE sentences, he just can't read them off a teleprompter and recite them

trolling so hard right now

I get what he's doing. I'm just not sure a) he's doing it effectively enough to be successful or b) that it's in any way necessary or advisable. Maybe wait until, like, 2212, when we can all look back at the silly racial strife from centuries past and have a good laugh about it together?
