Tony, Chapelle, and Joe Rogan are actively murdering comedy. They blame everyone but themselves because they can't get with the times. They look down on people and punch down constantly, and still manage to miss the mark. They are not down to earth, they are not relatable, and they should NOT be looked up to.

That's spot on.

If you look at actual funny people, they've worked out a way to do it without being heavily racist.

If you look at shows like Brooklyn 99, they did an amazing job at respecting everyone whilst being hilarious. The parts of this nonsense I saw, was just cringe. It seemed like they were trying more to advertise racism than going for humor, because even my mates are funnier and they're not professionals

It feels like they were probably surrounded by yes men their whole lives so have lost touch
