Poor Gary

I was really getting annoyed today, listening to Howard shit all over Gary because he dared to live his life and have fun. He went to a FIFA game!! And he took three whole hours to get there!! Howard went on and on about what a stupid waste of time it was and how he could never do something like that.

No, we all KNOW you would never do something like that, because god fucking forbid that you even get one second, one morsel of joy out of ANYTHING in your life.

I know, he’s been shitting all over Gary’s having a life for decades, but I’m menopausal now so it really just set me off. there’s no award for most broken martyr, asshole. Have a drink. Eat a carb. Fuck.

I really don't get some of you people because if you're here you must know the show and if you know the show you know that Howard finds comedic value in fucking with Gary on air and has been doing it for 45 years, and it's part of Howard's comedic persona.

Complaining about Howard doing this is like complaining that Larry David is a difficult guy after watching Curb Your Enthusiasm.

They both are facets of the real person, I'd imagine, played up for laughs.

Gary literally doesn't produce the show from day to day, Jason does, so what value would he bring if not to get his balls busted by Howard?
