I just expect funny, honestly.
He comes across as an angry man that doesn’t know how to grip an audience anymore. As evidenced by the fact that he’s more interested in the lecture than the joke.
Keyword: professional.
These last few years have seen old comedians finding it hard to update their style. They’re the ones hyperfocusing on people not finding their jokes funny, at this point. I defended Dave Chappelle at first, but it seems his standup has become the feel sorry for me hour.
I think Ricky Gervais especially exaggerates how offensive his material is just to have something to talk about. Carlin is a prime example of bitchy old man humor done right. But that’s just my opinion.
He is. That’s like his whole act nowadays. Suuuper lame.
You have every right to make shitty jokes, just don’t be offended when no one laughs.
That happens around halfway.
Dude looks like one of Jocko Willink’s failed clones
Definitely. Human Shrek is insanely hot

It does. Jesse commits evil acts because Walt backs them into a corner, then puts all the risk on Jesse’s head.
Jesse’s not blameless, but he would have gone broke smoking his own meth if left to his own devices. I suppose I see Jesse as more of an accessory to Walt’s plans, even when he’s pulling the trigger. His arc is kinda heartbreaking, because he essentially just wants to be as good of a cook as Walt until he becomes Walt and realized he just wanted to be Jesse all along.
and some people want to analyze character motivation under duress
You sympathize with aspects of each character and sympathize with different struggles.
Everyone has done something wrong in real life, and I like seeing that represented in a show.
Jesse is the good guy of Breaking Bad, imo. Dude’s worst crimes are being addicted to meth and listening to Walt’s advice. Hard to feel hate toward a pawn.
Everyone I know has stopped watching in Season 2, including me.
So glad I finished it though. It’s worth it after you get out of that rut.
