I love Norm and I know that "dirtbag left" is probably shorthand here, but it's worth saying that Norm MacDonald was not in any way shape or form of "the left"

hes not much of a political thinker at all so I kinda wonder if he became that way because of the particular era of SNL he was on

I guess it feels like everyone is misunderstanding Whiney here, he's talking about how the work of a comedian is interpreted and how/where it "lives on." Sure, one could just ignore it, that's totally a valid choice.

But I'd guess most people would agree that, on some level, it can be interesting to talk about how someone's body of work is received.

well not amongst the biggest dipshits in the YouTube comment section

read that again and possibly consider whether "everyone" misunderstanding something is not actually a signifier of whether the point is well made or possibly just wrong altogether

My point is pretty unassailable if you’ve spent five minutes on the aforementioned subreddits and YouTube comment sections

So that’s why it didn’t make sense

Anyway, thank you intheblanks

not saying you're wrong whiney im saying its a weird angle to insist on, its a small angle but insofar as it goes sure revisionism from youtube comments is a wild beast and whence it takes us none living can say

im not sure anybody misunderstood the point but it isnt afaict the discussion ppl were having?
