Do I think Tom Segura was ever a great comic? Not even remotely. Do I think his first few specials documented a naturally funny guy pretty well at being naturally funny? Yes. He used to make me laugh, even if I never thought he was saying much of anything. 

But have you watched this one? Even from the medium heights his talent has ever aspired to, I think the depth of his fall is astonishing. Teacher is the laziest shit I've possibly ever watched. I wouldn't hesitate to put Burn the Boats above it. The last one was bad too, but at this point the dude is sleepwalking. You can just see him dreaming about his money as he's standing there on the stage, going through the motions. It's pretty clear he doesn't even care anymore.

Re: Heh - A Thread For Comedy

Here's a good clip of Tom Segura basically getting double-teamed by getting ridiculed by Tim Heidecker live in interview, and Redbar (Mike David) adding insult to injury after the fact.

I've never thought of Segura myself as much beyond a very basic bitch.

I will say that compared to his last special, Ricky Gervais' recent hot Netlflix shit is better than his last one. But just because it didn't dribble down the inside of his leg like that one doesn't mean this is an endorsement.

The most important thing is that Bill Maher lost.

Which he then blamed on Hollywood being too 'woke'.  Never mind that half of Gervais' recent schtick is also complaining about 'wokeness'.  Maybe Maher is really just mad that he was never asked to host....any of these award shows ever?  And Maher accentuated his class by laughing about the 'Be Good' pins, honoring Renee Good, because he's just not a political kind of guy.  

Earlier today at the store, I happened to notice Maher's face on the cover of one of those tabloids with the headline "Most hated man in Hollywood?"  I didn't want to embarrass myself by picking up an issue and reading it in the check-out line before it was my turn, but I made a note and when I got home I looked it up online.  Being a tabloid, it's all 'anonymous' sources, but it's still likely accurate that somebody is going through the trouble of spreading the word around.  "Bill’s running out of friends in Hollywood," a source said, which actually dovetails with another rumor I saw a couple of months ago that Maher has been having trouble booking his Club Random.  Could it be that his bullshit is finally catching up to him?  I hope to see some quality tantrums very very soon.

A lot of people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidents and things. They don't realize that there's this lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in looking for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

Everybody's into weirdness right here.
