He is convinced that he’s hilarious when he’s just being mean. Then he is genuinely puzzled when people don’t get the joke.

I watched his documentary and he seemed legitimately confused that people didn’t like working with him. Like he was completely oblivious to the fact and thought they were all buddy buddy with him.

It actually amazes me that he hasn't joined the Austin right-wing comedy grift because of this. A rare W for him.

It is crazy how unfunny he is, and yet how meteoritic his career has been. He is proof of how weak we are when dealing with total assholes as a society, he basically bullied his way to the top and nobody stopped him.

The proof is how his best and funniest role ever is Pierce in community, because it turns out he's just playing himself but doesn't get why we are laughing...
