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

It was me on drugs making an ass out of myself. I just wanted to make people laugh, even if it was at my own expense.

a thing of beauty is a joy forever

we get the media outlets we deserve, unfortunately

i dunno, think i deserve better i'm a pretty cool guy

xp Thanks, crunch. This feels really weird because I'm nothing like burt_stanton these days, so I really don't know what I'm doing here now. hipsters. trust funds. druggy surrealism. my gigantic dick that breaks tables when i slap it down on them (I was actually hired for a couple of months in a recycling facility). Guess you can't outrun consequences. Whelp, looks like I'll be taking my leave then.

rip

the grim reaper got him in the end

sorry, I meant "grim reapah"

tbf i'll take burt over gabbneb when it comes to reunion tours

cool radio, bro

there are things i quite like on gawker like that Hamilton Nolan fella

also ev'thing relating to celebrities and TV shows i do not know

Are you new to the Gawker thing? The worst of humanity, monetized.

thatd be a good masthead

I think either the Wall St Journal or the Congressional Quarterly uses that

no wait, the Clinton Foundation

wait burt_stanton changed his name again? wtf

don't you live in greenpoint where's it's like 90% polish people and upwardly mobile white twentysomethings pretending to be broke? who are you scared of there?

Teren Delvon Jones might have a claim

Wait, did the Hulk die having sex or something?

big, green, dead

Looks like my classic grim reapah thread will never die. I was young, stupid, and drugged out of my mind when I wrote that thing - whaddayawantfromme.

between that thread and the disgusting ass partner one, burt was one of all my all time faves ... you should feel good about yourself

granted Best Buy is also on that list, but still, you should feel good about your contributions to this message boarf

i can't help but be a little curious why a small business owner in the midwest is outraged about an obit published by a young hip but increasingly conservative new media outlet about a sad comedy ca druggy with a tumblr book deal in which there is what seems like a minor concession to past beef. small world i guess?

judging from twitter ppl seem to love this dude ive just never seen this sort of reaction to the death of a producer i guess like this before, obvs not saying they shdnt but kind of curious like why he is so well known/loved when his biggest things seem to be producing a a tv show and having a twitter account that was 100% RTs

Harris Wittels would surely be proud that from his death sprung a thread dedicated to incomprehensible Brooklyn bullshit

obvs the idea that u shdnt mention negative infos in a obit is silly and not reflected in the actual practice of obit writing

he was a super popular podcast guest on some super popular comedy podcasts and he had a way of presenting himself as an underdog that prob caused a lot of people to identify w/ and root for him. xxp

btw my suspicion that the whole concept of fandom of a producer is av club related

the year is 2015 and we are all media critics

comedy podcasts even worse than av club! it is truly a fallen world

actually no av club is worse than comedy podcasts

xxxxpost HW was not just a producer, he was ubiquitious on comedy podcasts, particularly Comedy Bang Bang (often appearing with Chelsea Perretti and Adam Scott) so people felt like they knew the guy. He was pretty fucking funny in a weird low-key way.

it is def a v close call xp

i still dont REALLY get this complaint but im glad you posted about it here and on facebook

incomprehensible Brooklyn bullshit

my introduction to this guy was a pic of him holding his dick post ejaculation, thanks Chelsea P wtf

xxp yeah, I guess every time Whiney shows up in a thread my mind turns off

comedy podcasts even worse than av club! it is truly a fallen world
