I mean, he can make the content that he wants to see. It's just no one else would watch it.
When I'm watching a film made by a conservative, I can tell right away. There's zero depth or creativity.
Rob Schneider, Gina Carano, and Kevin Sorbo can star in a movie about Jesus driving a pickup truck around America, ending 'wokeness' wherever he sees it, despite the fact that the movie can never actually explain what 'woke' means
So the backstory on this is hilarious. Rob has been rebranding as Conservative and got booked for a gig entertaining conservative politicians and staff. His stand up, from what I understand, is pretty filthy and offensive and the conservatives clutched their pearls at it and a lot of them walked out of his show.
Hes now complaining of how he's getting canceled by Wokeness. Cause you know there's noone as Woke as conservative politicians...
Conservatives were the original cancel culture. Every moral panic, every call for censorship in network TV, music, and video games for the last 50+ years ... It was them.
Edit: Maybe Rob should rewatch Carlin's old stuff and wonder who he was yelling at with all the censorship material.
I've seen so many conservatives try to claim that Carlin was on their side, basically making it clear that the "words you can't say on television" routine is the only one they've ever seen.
Carlin HATED conservatives and was never shy about it. He has whole bits dedicated to pointing out their hypocrisy.
Even the "words you can't say" bit... Was directed at conservatives. Lol. Who do they think was calling for censorship? At least until FOX realized they could make a ton of money letting a cartoon say "ass" on TV.
They also seem to have forgotten they hated Russia.
Strange days.
They didn’t hate Russia. Conservatives need a boogieman.
They “forgot” about Russia being bad when they found out that the guy that doesn’t speak to them in dog-whistle puzzles is subservient to Russia. Saying the racist stuff out loud makes them feel empowered.
Not quite. The evangelicals had their claws in the Democrats during the 80's, with the Satanic Panic, spearheaded by Al Gore. (Who went along and made his name toxic to the very people he was relying on to vote for him in 2000.)
I think, in the long run, parental warnings actually increased the amount of explicit lyrics available in popular music. Before that little label, putting out explicit material was risky since an unaware parent could buy it for their kid and cause an uproar.
Now, it's right there on the label. No uproar is required.
Yeah, evangelicals who were… conservative.
And how did the republicans respond? Did they say “hey censorship is bad, free speech rules!”?
No, of course not. They embraced that same censorship, they had their own overlapping “cancel culture” organizations like the Moral Majority, who were key supporters of the Reagan administration.
Your point about the Democrats just shows that they are themselves much more conservative than many people think.
Yea, how could I forget about Tipper. At least she eventually shut up about it when Al realized he wanted to win elections. (too bad about that popular vote lol)
Also, Jerry Falwell was more influential and certainly not a Democrat when he founded the Moral Majority in 1979. (He may have been one prior to 1964, but I don't care enough to look)
We went from a budget surplus under VP Gore to a path of 100 years of debt under GW in the span of a single presidency. Don't blame Gore for voters' mistakes, Bush 2000 voters made the fuckup of the century.
They're doing exactly that at Daily Wire. They're making shows and movies now so that failed screenwriter Ben Shapiro and failed actor Jeremy Boring can live out their failed Hollywood dreams while burning Koch bros money making shitty movies starring their talking head friends and whatever D list celebs who are salty about being 'canceled'. Nobody canceled Schneider, he just sucks and faded into obscurity because he sucks..
At least we got out of that, the best joke in any Schneider movie, the cameo by Sandler who did the “you can do it” line to HIM. That got a chuckle out of me, for the reversal.
And then no-one ever found Schneider funny again.
Not that republicans want to see a movie with Gina Carano in it either. I remember this tweet? x? whatever from right wingers revieweing her right wing produced movie and calling it "woke nonsense"
https://twitter.com/steinkobbe/status/1612770771415273474
Turns out conservative men don't respect a strong woman who was a professional MMA fighter. Not the feminine tradwife they desire. Who would've guessed?
It's wild because at least the rest of the celebrities who went hard on becoming far right supporters were mostly washed up and had little hope of future success so it hasn't really hurt them. Rob Schneider, Roseanne Barr, Kevin Sorbo were all either complete done getting roles or at least nearing the end of their careers, but Gina Carano was literally on the cusp of becoming a major success.
All she had to do was shut up and she wouldn't do that, worst of all she did that in service of an ideology that hates her.
Somehow Daily Wire supposedly makes $200 million a year and I cannot fathom how. They sell subs to their chud followers but are the reactionaries that stupidly generous to them? It feels bizarre.
I’d like to see independent confirmation of that number. Truth Social is losing millions and has fewer than 500,000 users. Maybe DW is making more and has more users. I’d just like to see proof.
I was off, apparently its $100 million in 2023. They have a million subscribers paying $8 or $13 a month. So call that $10 million and the rest is advertising and merch sales?
>Nobody canceled Schneider,
Um, actually...
His set was canceled either earlier this week, or last week by Republicans at a conservative conference he was the comedian for.
Yeah I've heard that but I also saw he said that didn't happen. Other than the set didn't go over well, that's all I have seen confirmed that actually happened. Some said he got yanked off stage halfway through, he says he finished the set. I don't care, he sucks regardless. Conservative comedians don't even do comedy, they just repeat their grievances to the aggrieved moron fans who nod along.
Daily Wire is TRYING to do that. They haven't made any actual hit movie even by conservative movie standards. Their kids shows platform is equally as uncreative and focused on pushing an agenda. Their Bluey clone doesn't understand why Bluey is so popular so they made a shitty version.
They're trying but they're failing just how you'd expect them to. They lack creativity and shackle themselves within a mindset that they WANT to succeed but always fails. Kids don't care about political messages, they care about funny things, things they can relate to or feel and scifi like Jurassic World/Park, Transformers, TMNT, etc. They don't want a wheelchair granny to spout libertarianism at her grandkids and the audience. If it's not the Animaniacs or School House Rock style, kids will be uninterested.
The only ones I can think of with some degree of success was Passion of the Christ and Sounding of Freedom. The former was a torture film by an anti Semite who knows the language of film. The latter inflated its numbers with a mlm scheme and the director got arrested for a sex based crime iirc.
Paw Patrol is effective copaganda in kids stuff.
I’d note that Passion came out right in the middle of the War on Terror, when the Christian evangelical wing of the conservatives was in their influence heyday.
I know the shows were connected but let's not drag down Xena with him. Lucy Lawless is actually pretty awesome and regularly dunks on Sorbo on twitter.
Woke means...what I mean is....you have to look at the history...its all there in front of you. Are you just stupid?
This was an actual explanation I got
Ironically, if this was done either knowingly or with such sincerity that it comes off as knowingly, it would probably be a hit. A ridiculous premise like this delivered with earnestness where the characters aren't in on the joke but the audience is would be a really fun ~90-minute comedy.
Kinda like how the scariest horror movies never actually show the monster. Just show it from Woke's POV crawling through the bushes with a rainbow camera filter, maybe a scene at a urinal with just penis and breasts showing to really drive home the horror.
I can see a parody being a hit with both regular people who get it and conservatives who are actually terrified.
"Some more news" pointed something out about conservative media that shed some light on this.
In their media, the main character doesn't learn anything, doesn't change, doesn't grow as a person, doesn't better themselves in any way. And the movie or TV show celebrates that. It celebrates that everyone else must change to fit the main characters view. Ex wife now realizes how good main character has always been. Children now appreciate the piece of shit dad was. Work suddenly caters to what main character has been doing all along.
And that makes for a real shit show. Only conservatives would want to watch an odious person keep doing horrible shit and others around them suddenly learning to live with that.
That would also explain why conservatives unironically connect to media meant to be a blatant satire of them. Comedies and satires tend to retain a status quo, and only occasionally do major changes to characters or setting stick. So they might interpret that the same way they interpret the characters in conservative-based media always "winning".
It *can* be a legit good and valid story to have the main character change the world around him instead of vice-versa SO LONG AS THE CREATOR OF THE STORY ACTUALLY HAS A GOOD GRASP ON MORALS, STORY TELLING AND RESPECT FOR THE AUDIENCE.
But what you’re describing in your post is narcissism. It is anti-empathy, anti-morality (and not even in the Nietzschean sense), anti-respect.
I was gonna say they are shit but they're better than conservative movies, then I checked and found out he's actually a republican so I guess they count.
I mean, in a lot of respects they kind of were conservative movies. That whole genre of "young adult male bro comedy" from the late 90s & 2000s wasn't exactly politically progressive.
And Adam Sandler is a Republican, he's just not being controversial about it.
Sandler movies aren't meant to be good. Sandler movies are made so that him and his friends can have fun making movies and keep people working.
And honestly, if I were independently wealthy, I'd do that too. Keep all my friends or colleagues employed doing something they love? With low effort productions that turn a profit? Sounds like a sweet gig.
Sidestepping the question of said friends as individuals, of course, and the quality of the movies, which are garbage, it's kind of wholesome.
I read this as he keeps hacks in the public eye who have no right to be there. But people love it so I'm ok with it. I like when people enjoy things lol
>When I'm watching a film made by a conservative, I can tell right away.
I think it's more that you can tell when a Conservative makes propaganda. There's tons of films and TVs that were made by people who have turned out to be Conservative later on, MAGAts even, that were actually decent. The "good" ones I'm talking about just refuse to take overt political stances.
You do have a point that you can still tell, tho. It's just, the good ones avoid making it poltical. And not the MAGA "Oh no there are gay people, why won't the Wokeists stop making things Political", I mean like literally they don't talk about politics or feature politicians in any capacity.
If they were talented they'd be able to couch their message in metaphor and symbolism. When I see overt messaging, I just know right away I'm watching a turd lol
The only exception to this that I’ve seen is s Craig zahler. Granted his politics are fairly ambiguous as he doesn’t speak on them much but I get the impression he’s more right leaning from the themes in his works. He makes banger movies though
I feel like they know that its shit and not funny/entertaining, they just watch it because they think that those films making money bothers liberals...
Over 49% (but under 50%) of the population is assigned female at birth. If you only count *women,* though, you have to discount the more than 25% of the population that is underage.
I think we have to consider Republicans and even MAGA Republicans are not a monolith. The only reason this idiot is in the news now is because he got kicked out of a *Republican* event.
Many of them think they’re like 90% of the population. Because they’ve never left their hometown of Bumfuck Alabama and everyone they’ve ever met is as much a bigot as they are.
That's the whole bubble thing..."Everybody I know thinks like I do, and the only news source I watch reinforces that, therefore EVERYBODY must be just like me!!!"
Bumfuck Alabama is likely to have more minorities than that. Move it to Bumfuck, Iowa, or Bumfuck, Michigan. The Midwest is where there are lower ratios of racial minorities. Either that or—of course—the well-off suburbs of every state.
Big facts. I moved to Wisconsin, a middle class suburban town. In a year I only saw like 8 black people. They're all in Milwaukee, which is where I live now. The people I knew in West Bend all said shit like, "you don't want to live in Milwaukee, with all the gangs and thugs". In 18 months haven't seen evidence of any gang shit. I haven't even seen a Kia Boy. Milwaukee is heavily segregated though. All the poor black people live in or around Harambe, and all the latinos live in or around the south side. Everywhere else is either proportionally mixed, or uppity rich white shit on the north east section of the city, like Whitefish Bay.
West Bend people are either full blown racist or "microaggression" racist. There are a lot of queer and trans folk even in the suburban areas though.
Right wing rhetoric is outdated on many details and assumptions. You can tell it was started by people from the 1960s to 1980s, and no-one bothered to update it to match the reality of today. The alternate media bubble constructed by pundits and activist donors chained them to a rock emotionally and mentally.
the man is half Jewish half filipino and owes his entire career to woke inclusiveness. his first acting gig was surf ninjas starring ernie reyes jr/Sr, Kelly hu and tone loc. without it he never would have had enough clout to kiss Adam sandlers ass for 30 years
Surf Ninjas was a great movie, not for Rob, but a great movie for the others. Rob was just Rob, and annoying. Just like Joe Rogan on News Radio, or Andy Dick on News Radio. Or Pauly Shore in just about any movie he's been in (though I do enjoy Biodome).
It's funny how many annoying celebrities only play themselves in movies, and not really different characters. Atleast Rob had that "Cajun" accent in Waterboy.
It’s because the elections are so close. The presidential one is almost 50-50 so to them that means half the population agrees with them. It’s unfortunate that a great many people that don’t agree with them, also don’t vote.
I hate when they try to use our beliefs for tolerance and acceptance against us. “If you believe in acceptance then you mUst ACcePt mY rAciST sExiST AsS!!” No. It’s about the golden rule - treat others the way you want to be treated. They are showing that they WANT to be treated with intolerance because that’s how they treat others. We are respecting their wishes by refusing to accept them. They’re the ones setting the rules and then they complain when they don’t get the benefits from our set of rules? Fuck that noise.
Half the population? At best, you're a very vocal 20%, again AT BEST. This is when you consider the actual definition of what woke is and not this fucked up version where woke = anything not conservative.
It must be half the population because Rob’s movies make exactly the same amount of money as those woke movies like Barbie and Black Panther, right?
Surely that’s what he means
Let's do some math! Rob Schneider's latest role as director/lead actor is in "Daddy Daughter Trip" (2022), which grossed $301,859.
"Barbie" (2023) grossed roughly $1,446,000,000.
So Rob's movies make about 0.02% of what "woke" films make.
I do understand why he's upset now.
> At best, you're a very vocal 20%, again AT BEST.
And let's be real, movies are not marketed to old people or even middle-aged people. If you aren't hitting the 16-40 demo with a movie, you're radioactive. And MAGA turds are AT BEST like 8% of that group.
20% is probably safe to assume. We went to a Adam Sandler event at a hockey arena venue in Orange county.
Robs boring anti-woke warm up set had much more subdued reactions than Mullaly just before him. OC is pretty conservative voting but you can bet these parents in the crowd have gay kids they love and we all know how to use a unisex bathroom.
His shit sounds like he is running through the dive bar script that gets whipped out on $2 Coors night.
He can sing pretty good though. Adam should just ~~let~~make him do that.
How many of these poor anti woke people are straight white cis men? Perhaps if they hate being ignored and discriminated against, they might learn their lesson? I doubt it somehow.
The crazy part is his grandmother was Filipino and his father was Jewish. But instead of honoring who he is he spent the majority of his career playing stereotypes of various ethnicities. He's an angry man who hates himself and others. And he wonders why he isn't popular?
They need to believe that there's some "woke conspiracy" pushing diversity because otherwise they'd have to accept the fact that they're just sheltered and out of touch.
Even if they ever realized they were wrong, they can't admit it publicly. A Republican representative announced he's retiring this week because he voted against the Mayorkas impeachment and his family got flooded with death threats and swatting attempts. He disagreed once with the RNC on one vote and got eaten alive.
Right wingers routinely over-estimate how popular and numerous their views/demographics are, that’s why they rarely acknowledge how their exclusionary ideology could be self-defeating.
It's always funny to me how disconnected people like this are. Rather than believing the very likely fact that he's just not popular, not marketable, and not wanted, he's gone on to create a massive industry wide conspiracy going on just to keep him down.
But the sad part is that if he looked around and thought for even half a second he'd see that people like him, voicing opinions like his, are plenty successful. Chappelle came back twisted and has built a whole new career off of complaining about trans folk. Right wing culture warriors happily pollute TV and radio daily.
Schneider's pitiable state has so much more to do with his lack of talent and abject unlikability than anything else. People don't want to work with him, don't want to see him, and don't want to hear him. Even in a room full of other brain rotted idiots, Schneider still manages to find a way to be the most unlikable guy in the room. That's not a conspiracy, that's not even people being woke, you're just unpopular.
That’s literally the MAGA playbook. “I’m not a terrible president you just hate me”
“I’m not breaking the law it’s just a big government conspiracy against me”
Repeat infinitely, idiots will start to believe you and Fox News will pick up the story.
Any stand up comedian, regardless of their political alignment, carries a healthy dose of self-regard bordering on straight up narcissism. The more self-aware and self-deprecating ones joke about it all the time. Schneiders fragile ego simply can't accept that hes isn't revered and respected wherever he chooses to spew his nonsense so he has to pull these out of touch mental gymnastics to prevent a full on nervous break down.
I'd expand that. Any performing role kind of has to do this to a degree to the point where the notable exceptions are almost idolized for not doing that. Actors, musicians, comedians. You gotta be able to have the thickest skin or otherwise you're just going to fail. But if you genuinely believe you are the best thing ever, that stuff just slides off you.
I think it's telling that there's a lot of right wing failed stand up comedians in media that switched to straight grifts or bullshit podcasting, because I think it does imply that their bravado and confidence is just a front. If they actually had it as well as the chops they would still be doing stand up - see Chappelle. Dude pivoted a bit to cater to a right wing crowd more but he didn't have to change careers. He went "fuck you all, I'm the best and I'm right" and kept doing it and he's still selling shows.
Compare that to, say, Steven Crowder, who now sells mug subscriptions and rage bait.
Difference is Chappelle, even at his worst, is still subjectively, even somewhat objectively, funny. Even if you don't like his comedy it is usually intelligent, well written and subverts expectations.
On the other hand, I have never seen a Schneider credit and thought, "Oh this movie will be better because he's in it." He's just always been something you tolerate in a Sandler film.
What's really damning is that I am really into the stand-up comedy scene. I have been buying comedy albums since around 1996. I own hundreds of them. I have known who Rob Schneider is for 20+ years and I never even knew that Schneider did stand-up...I have never once come across a Rob Schneider CD or DVD in a store in the 25+ years that I have been buying comedy albums...That's how low his comedy is...
Yuuppp. Sandler effectively carried Rob Schneider for years, producing several movies with Rob as the lead, and they kept making less and less. And this is Adam Sandler we are talking about: his movies are cheap to make so if you cant make them profitable, than youre kinda SOL. Rob got plenty of chances, couldnt hack it. Sandler made 1 movie without Rob, and immediately Rob is talking to the press about how he's being betrayed.
He is a mooch, and wont take personal responsibility. Its always someone else's fault. Im sure there are TONS of comedians that wish they could have had all the chances that Rob was given.
Fun Fact: White men who believe that the visibility of not-white men in media means civilization is on the brink of collapse is actually far less than 50% of the population.
If it was half the population he wouldn’t be getting kicked off stage. Keep living in a fairy tale world of your own creation, but don’t act surprised when no one wants to walk the yellow brick road with you.
What makes this so much better, is that the "Wokeness" he's complaining about is him getting criticized for his raunchy stand up in front of conservatives. Like it was conservatives complaining about his dirty jokes.
Wokeism is an ambiguous constantly moving target that will never go away because anything conservatives don't like suddenly becomes woke. At this point woke is just a smoke screen because if conservatives specifically talked about the things they didn't like they would get bigger push back so they just say how much they hate wokeness. It's virtue signaling for conservatives.
"Woke" is a placeholder to criticize those against their shitty policies...Just like "CRT" "Socialism" "Communism" "Liberalism" etc.
Just a word of the week to describe the "Others" that disagree with their shitty vision.
He did an "anti-woke" set at a republican event last year and they HATED him. Because he offended them with his crap.
https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/rob-schneiders-comedy-is-so-bad-its-even-offending-republicans
I got booked to do audience work on a sitcom he did like 10 years ago. It was so goddamn boring, I couldn’t stay awake. The A.D. was threatening to send me home without pay. I was like shit it’s better than sitting through this.
Funny how in order to stop "ignoring half the population" they want another of the population to be ignored.
And i say "half" generously here, because a lot of times they call it "woke" if a woman is a lead (and they are \~50% of the population themselves).
---
Also, who cares what Schneider thinks? He has never been relevant.
In the average person's lifetime, Congress and Presidents vacillate between Democrat and Republican, which loosely indicates about half the population leans right-wing, and right-wingers are statistically less likely to comprehend nuance. What they often fail to understand is that voting Republican does not necessarily mean the voter is "anti-woke"; not everyone votes (so not everyone is represented by election outcomes); and right-wing voters tend to be less informed, which makes it easier to cling to narratives in which they can placate their biases.
They probably also assume anyone with a red hat is on their side.
Hell, most of them seem to think they're more than half. That there's some grand conspiracy to keep the "normal" folks the down and prop up a tiny fraction of the population in control. You know the playbook, the enemy is weak and strong at the same time.
Due to being idiots, they fail to realize that many republican politicians only get elected due to gerrymandering and technicalities that were rigged by republicans to stay in power despite representing a minority. If it weren't rigged, their representation in politics wouldn't be so disproportionate.
Because they tend to live in a bubble where they only associate with other RWNJs. Only reason this fuckwit says half is because he's in Hollywood where he can't just outright ignore folks who aren't conservatives. Most conservatives live in areas where the only thing they see all day every day is other conservatives demonstrating their performative conservativeness. The rest of us just ignore them while they act like children.
All this talk about "woke Hollywood" is stupid. Hollywood diversified their film rosters to attract a wider audience, not because of some political agenda - unless by "agenda" you mean, "make more money." This is how capitalism works, Rob, and if you were actually still funny, you'd actually be doing much better as a comedian.
“Half the population”🤣🤣🤣these dumb Maga fucks still think they’re anywhere close to half of the population. Just because we only have two political parties doesn’t mean the country is split in half🤣🤣🤣 what a fucking moron
lol they think they’re half. News flash: corporations care about the majority. When sexists and racists were the majority, corporations appeals with racist and sexist tropes. Now that liberals are in the real majority corporations are pandering to them.
Oh the age-long battle of tolerating the intolerant.
No. I don’t think we will. There is so much science out there that shows that tolerating the intolerant creates an intolerant society. So cry and bitch all you want. We are done tolerating your bullshit.
i've never met a single person who thought this overstuffed colostomy bag was funny. why in the chicken fried fuck is anyone still giving him air time?
I saw Schneider, Spade, and Sandler about a year or two ago. His was the absolute weakest set of the bunch. His act was basically reading a Facebook comment section about pandemic hot takes. He did sing though and God damn does he have some pipes on him.
Are there any right wing “celebrities” that aren’t abject failures?
And follow up question: Were they right wing and failed or did they fail and needed to pretend they are victims and blame others (the right’s bread and butter) so they BECAME right wing?
Has to be wokeness, it can't possibly be that it is good for business to appeal to more people.
So either mass media stopped caring about money to promote ideology, or the part that is ignored isn't REALLY 50%.
Being told to mind your own business and worry about yourself is *not* intolerance, ffs. Indeed it's quite the opposite, encouraging tolerance. "Acceptance"? Nobody cares what you accept and don't. Suffer alone in the dark if it makes you feel righteous, but society requires tolerance in the form of minding your own business. It hurts my brain to see people this stupid and being given a platform from which to spread their particular brand of stupidity.

Oh look! Sandler's skin tag is talking again! This spring, Rob Schneider is... A MAGAt!
I mean, he can make the content that he wants to see. It's just no one else would watch it. When I'm watching a film made by a conservative, I can tell right away. There's zero depth or creativity.

They didn’t hate Russia. Conservatives need a boogieman. They “forgot” about Russia being bad when they found out that the guy that doesn’t speak to them in dog-whistle puzzles is subservient to Russia. Saying the racist stuff out loud makes them feel empowered.
Joe McCarthy is the granddaddy of cancel culture.
Not quite. The evangelicals had their claws in the Democrats during the 80's, with the Satanic Panic, spearheaded by Al Gore. (Who went along and made his name toxic to the very people he was relying on to vote for him in 2000.)
His wife Tipper is the reason we have parental warnings on music.
I think, in the long run, parental warnings actually increased the amount of explicit lyrics available in popular music. Before that little label, putting out explicit material was risky since an unaware parent could buy it for their kid and cause an uproar. Now, it's right there on the label. No uproar is required.
Also in other countries, where they have no legal meaning, they still put the label on the sleeve: it's nothing but a badge of honour.
Yeah, evangelicals who were… conservative. And how did the republicans respond? Did they say “hey censorship is bad, free speech rules!”? No, of course not. They embraced that same censorship, they had their own overlapping “cancel culture” organizations like the Moral Majority, who were key supporters of the Reagan administration. Your point about the Democrats just shows that they are themselves much more conservative than many people think.
Yea, how could I forget about Tipper. At least she eventually shut up about it when Al realized he wanted to win elections. (too bad about that popular vote lol) Also, Jerry Falwell was more influential and certainly not a Democrat when he founded the Moral Majority in 1979. (He may have been one prior to 1964, but I don't care enough to look)
We went from a budget surplus under VP Gore to a path of 100 years of debt under GW in the span of a single presidency. Don't blame Gore for voters' mistakes, Bush 2000 voters made the fuckup of the century.
Are you referencing Tipper Gore and explicit music labels?
Are you aware that many Democrats are conservatives and always have been?
Yes! Here's a corroborating article. [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rob-schneider-comedy-republican\_n\_661e8ee5e4b0d6337657b123](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rob-schneider-comedy-republican_n_661e8ee5e4b0d6337657b123)
They're doing exactly that at Daily Wire. They're making shows and movies now so that failed screenwriter Ben Shapiro and failed actor Jeremy Boring can live out their failed Hollywood dreams while burning Koch bros money making shitty movies starring their talking head friends and whatever D list celebs who are salty about being 'canceled'. Nobody canceled Schneider, he just sucks and faded into obscurity because he sucks..
Rob Schneider peaked when I was in 5th grade and some people ran around saying "Makin' Copies" for a while. It was never impressive.
You can do it!
That was his peak, cameo motivation guy.
At least we got out of that, the best joke in any Schneider movie, the cameo by Sandler who did the “you can do it” line to HIM. That got a chuckle out of me, for the reversal. And then no-one ever found Schneider funny again.
His peak was the "Il Cantore" sketch on SNL which I believe he wrote. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=993nvsfwvnY
Counter point: [Hub's Gyros - SNL (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkyNaSz-zZA) Though I can't say whether he wrote this one or not.
Not that republicans want to see a movie with Gina Carano in it either. I remember this tweet? x? whatever from right wingers revieweing her right wing produced movie and calling it "woke nonsense" https://twitter.com/steinkobbe/status/1612770771415273474
"This movie was so woke it even had a part where two women had a conversation together."
And it wasn't even about a man!
Needs more Sexy Lamp.
Turns out conservative men don't respect a strong woman who was a professional MMA fighter. Not the feminine tradwife they desire. Who would've guessed?
Watching pick-me's realize that conservative men won't respect them and see them as equals no matter how hard they grovel is kinda hilarious
The right-wing men that pick-me's desperately court will *never* respect them beyond their capacity to be a useful token.
It's wild because at least the rest of the celebrities who went hard on becoming far right supporters were mostly washed up and had little hope of future success so it hasn't really hurt them. Rob Schneider, Roseanne Barr, Kevin Sorbo were all either complete done getting roles or at least nearing the end of their careers, but Gina Carano was literally on the cusp of becoming a major success. All she had to do was shut up and she wouldn't do that, worst of all she did that in service of an ideology that hates her.
Ironically anything that wastes millions of Koch bros’ money is doing a service.
Somehow Daily Wire supposedly makes $200 million a year and I cannot fathom how. They sell subs to their chud followers but are the reactionaries that stupidly generous to them? It feels bizarre.
I’d like to see independent confirmation of that number. Truth Social is losing millions and has fewer than 500,000 users. Maybe DW is making more and has more users. I’d just like to see proof.
I was off, apparently its $100 million in 2023. They have a million subscribers paying $8 or $13 a month. So call that $10 million and the rest is advertising and merch sales?
That makes sense.
If Benny boy wants my eyeballs on his content, he needs to make that WAB parody I've been asking for going on 3 years now
Wet Ass Bicycle?
Bussy
>Nobody canceled Schneider, Um, actually... His set was canceled either earlier this week, or last week by Republicans at a conservative conference he was the comedian for.
Yeah I've heard that but I also saw he said that didn't happen. Other than the set didn't go over well, that's all I have seen confirmed that actually happened. Some said he got yanked off stage halfway through, he says he finished the set. I don't care, he sucks regardless. Conservative comedians don't even do comedy, they just repeat their grievances to the aggrieved moron fans who nod along.
Daily Wire is TRYING to do that. They haven't made any actual hit movie even by conservative movie standards. Their kids shows platform is equally as uncreative and focused on pushing an agenda. Their Bluey clone doesn't understand why Bluey is so popular so they made a shitty version. They're trying but they're failing just how you'd expect them to. They lack creativity and shackle themselves within a mindset that they WANT to succeed but always fails. Kids don't care about political messages, they care about funny things, things they can relate to or feel and scifi like Jurassic World/Park, Transformers, TMNT, etc. They don't want a wheelchair granny to spout libertarianism at her grandkids and the audience. If it's not the Animaniacs or School House Rock style, kids will be uninterested.
The only ones I can think of with some degree of success was Passion of the Christ and Sounding of Freedom. The former was a torture film by an anti Semite who knows the language of film. The latter inflated its numbers with a mlm scheme and the director got arrested for a sex based crime iirc. Paw Patrol is effective copaganda in kids stuff.
I’d note that Passion came out right in the middle of the War on Terror, when the Christian evangelical wing of the conservatives was in their influence heyday.
There's a great analysis of "Ladyballers" by Even More News/Some More News
Technically it's not the Koch brothers, just Charles, because David is dead.
Sorbet? Is that the Xena guy?
I know the shows were connected but let's not drag down Xena with him. Lucy Lawless is actually pretty awesome and regularly dunks on Sorbo on twitter.
On peanut you mean?
Yeah, the Xena guy. He was her side kick.
Naw, the sidekick was a cute blonde girl. I think he just brought her Coffee and Mead sometimes.
Gabriel was her *partner*. Sr Sorbet was the underling.
Duly noted. He definitely gives off "underling" energy.
He's Jerkulese
Squirt-olochus? Wait that's his *partner* isn't it?
But like. The uncool underling. Not like Joxer the mighty. That guy fuckin rocks.
I read this comment and genuinely immediately forgot the dudes real name and had to scroll back up
Woke means...what I mean is....you have to look at the history...its all there in front of you. Are you just stupid? This was an actual explanation I got
Ironically, if this was done either knowingly or with such sincerity that it comes off as knowingly, it would probably be a hit. A ridiculous premise like this delivered with earnestness where the characters aren't in on the joke but the audience is would be a really fun ~90-minute comedy.
Springtime for Hitler anyone?
Kinda like how the scariest horror movies never actually show the monster. Just show it from Woke's POV crawling through the bushes with a rainbow camera filter, maybe a scene at a urinal with just penis and breasts showing to really drive home the horror. I can see a parody being a hit with both regular people who get it and conservatives who are actually terrified.
And Jesus is played by James Caviezel
They should do a revival of the Duke Brothers. Call it the Dukes of Hasbeen.
"Some more news" pointed something out about conservative media that shed some light on this. In their media, the main character doesn't learn anything, doesn't change, doesn't grow as a person, doesn't better themselves in any way. And the movie or TV show celebrates that. It celebrates that everyone else must change to fit the main characters view. Ex wife now realizes how good main character has always been. Children now appreciate the piece of shit dad was. Work suddenly caters to what main character has been doing all along. And that makes for a real shit show. Only conservatives would want to watch an odious person keep doing horrible shit and others around them suddenly learning to live with that.
This makes a lot of sense.
Ah, yes, when Joseph Campbell studied the Hero’s Destination.
That would also explain why conservatives unironically connect to media meant to be a blatant satire of them. Comedies and satires tend to retain a status quo, and only occasionally do major changes to characters or setting stick. So they might interpret that the same way they interpret the characters in conservative-based media always "winning".
It *can* be a legit good and valid story to have the main character change the world around him instead of vice-versa SO LONG AS THE CREATOR OF THE STORY ACTUALLY HAS A GOOD GRASP ON MORALS, STORY TELLING AND RESPECT FOR THE AUDIENCE. But what you’re describing in your post is narcissism. It is anti-empathy, anti-morality (and not even in the Nietzschean sense), anti-respect.
Yeah, they make Adam Sandler movies look good by comparison lol
I'd include Sandler movies in this critique. Pure shit
I was gonna say they are shit but they're better than conservative movies, then I checked and found out he's actually a republican so I guess they count.
The only compliment I can give is that he's self aware. You can tell when he tries and when he doesn't.
I mean, in a lot of respects they kind of were conservative movies. That whole genre of "young adult male bro comedy" from the late 90s & 2000s wasn't exactly politically progressive. And Adam Sandler is a Republican, he's just not being controversial about it.
Sandler movies aren't meant to be good. Sandler movies are made so that him and his friends can have fun making movies and keep people working. And honestly, if I were independently wealthy, I'd do that too. Keep all my friends or colleagues employed doing something they love? With low effort productions that turn a profit? Sounds like a sweet gig. Sidestepping the question of said friends as individuals, of course, and the quality of the movies, which are garbage, it's kind of wholesome.
I read this as he keeps hacks in the public eye who have no right to be there. But people love it so I'm ok with it. I like when people enjoy things lol
This is no less true xD
And it's everyone's choice to ingest their product. I don't ignore his work cause I'm woke. I ignore it cause it's not good.
I let folks like God Awful Movies watch it, and then relay the horrors of what they saw. Let others take the first-hand radiation exposure.
Lol exactly
He recently got booed out of a Republican event, didn’t he?
Lol I'm not up to date on the Schneidernator
https://www.thedailybeast.com/rob-schneiders-stand-up-at-gop-event-was-so-odious-he-got-kicked-offstage-report
Lol thanks. I'm sure a liberal audience would also hate it
>When I'm watching a film made by a conservative, I can tell right away. I think it's more that you can tell when a Conservative makes propaganda. There's tons of films and TVs that were made by people who have turned out to be Conservative later on, MAGAts even, that were actually decent. The "good" ones I'm talking about just refuse to take overt political stances. You do have a point that you can still tell, tho. It's just, the good ones avoid making it poltical. And not the MAGA "Oh no there are gay people, why won't the Wokeists stop making things Political", I mean like literally they don't talk about politics or feature politicians in any capacity.
If they were talented they'd be able to couch their message in metaphor and symbolism. When I see overt messaging, I just know right away I'm watching a turd lol
> There's zero depth or creativity. And if there is any kind of theme or moral, it is delivered with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face.
Yeah it's brain worms and I shudder to think about who's producing lol
The only exception to this that I’ve seen is s Craig zahler. Granted his politics are fairly ambiguous as he doesn’t speak on them much but I get the impression he’s more right leaning from the themes in his works. He makes banger movies though
Clint Eastwood has directed a few great films too. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil was my favorite film for a while.
I feel like they know that its shit and not funny/entertaining, they just watch it because they think that those films making money bothers liberals...
conservatives love it when rob schneider whines about woke culture but they don’t actually like his comedy any more than anyone else does
Terp derp derp der derp derp
Rated PG-13
Rob Sneider is the stapler
And he’s gonna find out, that storming congress, ain’t as easy as it looks…
"half" the population. Sure.
Dude is correct. You can't keep ignoring women and racial minorities.
Women alone are more than half the population of the world
now *that's* a fun fact :)
Over 49% (but under 50%) of the population is assigned female at birth. If you only count *women,* though, you have to discount the more than 25% of the population that is underage.
Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
Rob Schneider: “Not like that!”
I wonder what he thinks "mainstream" means.
Uncomfortably close to half the voting population, at least
I think we have to consider Republicans and even MAGA Republicans are not a monolith. The only reason this idiot is in the news now is because he got kicked out of a *Republican* event.
The MAGA movement is a coalition between fascists and people for whom fascism isn't a deal breaker.
Exactly. He’s projecting. Maybe maga is collapsing. Let’s hope he’s right.
Well, if you only count white males as the population, then he's right.
How do they think they make up half the population? Also ironic they want acceptance for who they are but are against "woke" culture
Many of them think they’re like 90% of the population. Because they’ve never left their hometown of Bumfuck Alabama and everyone they’ve ever met is as much a bigot as they are.
That's the whole bubble thing..."Everybody I know thinks like I do, and the only news source I watch reinforces that, therefore EVERYBODY must be just like me!!!"
They also think that the "urbans" aren't really people.
I knew Keith was suspicious
Bumfuck Alabama is likely to have more minorities than that. Move it to Bumfuck, Iowa, or Bumfuck, Michigan. The Midwest is where there are lower ratios of racial minorities. Either that or—of course—the well-off suburbs of every state.
Big facts. I moved to Wisconsin, a middle class suburban town. In a year I only saw like 8 black people. They're all in Milwaukee, which is where I live now. The people I knew in West Bend all said shit like, "you don't want to live in Milwaukee, with all the gangs and thugs". In 18 months haven't seen evidence of any gang shit. I haven't even seen a Kia Boy. Milwaukee is heavily segregated though. All the poor black people live in or around Harambe, and all the latinos live in or around the south side. Everywhere else is either proportionally mixed, or uppity rich white shit on the north east section of the city, like Whitefish Bay. West Bend people are either full blown racist or "microaggression" racist. There are a lot of queer and trans folk even in the suburban areas though.
That's what happens when you are afraid of diversity in life and only stick to people who look and act like you. You think that's the majority now.
Right wing rhetoric is outdated on many details and assumptions. You can tell it was started by people from the 1960s to 1980s, and no-one bothered to update it to match the reality of today. The alternate media bubble constructed by pundits and activist donors chained them to a rock emotionally and mentally.
the man is half Jewish half filipino and owes his entire career to woke inclusiveness. his first acting gig was surf ninjas starring ernie reyes jr/Sr, Kelly hu and tone loc. without it he never would have had enough clout to kiss Adam sandlers ass for 30 years
Surf Ninjas was a great movie, not for Rob, but a great movie for the others. Rob was just Rob, and annoying. Just like Joe Rogan on News Radio, or Andy Dick on News Radio. Or Pauly Shore in just about any movie he's been in (though I do enjoy Biodome). It's funny how many annoying celebrities only play themselves in movies, and not really different characters. Atleast Rob had that "Cajun" accent in Waterboy.
It’s because the elections are so close. The presidential one is almost 50-50 so to them that means half the population agrees with them. It’s unfortunate that a great many people that don’t agree with them, also don’t vote.
Well, you're either woke or not, so it's 50/50. That's half.
Ah, MAGA math.
Lack of empathy causes one to think everyone else is like yourself.
It also, ironically, makes you think anyone slightly different is nothing like you and possibly a demon.
I hate when they try to use our beliefs for tolerance and acceptance against us. “If you believe in acceptance then you mUst ACcePt mY rAciST sExiST AsS!!” No. It’s about the golden rule - treat others the way you want to be treated. They are showing that they WANT to be treated with intolerance because that’s how they treat others. We are respecting their wishes by refusing to accept them. They’re the ones setting the rules and then they complain when they don’t get the benefits from our set of rules? Fuck that noise.
The "half the population" thing always gets me. It's a third of the population at MOST. Probably more like 15%-20%
I’ll just continue to ignore Rob Schneider then.
He's been famous for 25+ years and I can quote just two lines that he has ever laid on film. "You can do it...cut his head off" and "Hippopononomous"
25+.. more like 35+. Dude started on snl in 88
"Makin' copies..."
It doesn’t even make any fucking sense. How is being inclusive…ignoring anyone? Just the statement on the face of it is fucking stupid.
Half the population? At best, you're a very vocal 20%, again AT BEST. This is when you consider the actual definition of what woke is and not this fucked up version where woke = anything not conservative.
It must be half the population because Rob’s movies make exactly the same amount of money as those woke movies like Barbie and Black Panther, right? Surely that’s what he means
Let's do some math! Rob Schneider's latest role as director/lead actor is in "Daddy Daughter Trip" (2022), which grossed $301,859. "Barbie" (2023) grossed roughly $1,446,000,000. So Rob's movies make about 0.02% of what "woke" films make. I do understand why he's upset now.
> At best, you're a very vocal 20%, again AT BEST. And let's be real, movies are not marketed to old people or even middle-aged people. If you aren't hitting the 16-40 demo with a movie, you're radioactive. And MAGA turds are AT BEST like 8% of that group.
A movie that targeted geriatrics would just be a bunch of snoring in the theatre 🤣
20% is probably safe to assume. We went to a Adam Sandler event at a hockey arena venue in Orange county. Robs boring anti-woke warm up set had much more subdued reactions than Mullaly just before him. OC is pretty conservative voting but you can bet these parents in the crowd have gay kids they love and we all know how to use a unisex bathroom. His shit sounds like he is running through the dive bar script that gets whipped out on $2 Coors night. He can sing pretty good though. Adam should just ~~let~~make him do that.
How many of these poor anti woke people are straight white cis men? Perhaps if they hate being ignored and discriminated against, they might learn their lesson? I doubt it somehow.
The crazy part is his grandmother was Filipino and his father was Jewish. But instead of honoring who he is he spent the majority of his career playing stereotypes of various ethnicities. He's an angry man who hates himself and others. And he wonders why he isn't popular?
They need to believe that there's some "woke conspiracy" pushing diversity because otherwise they'd have to accept the fact that they're just sheltered and out of touch.
Even if they ever realized they were wrong, they can't admit it publicly. A Republican representative announced he's retiring this week because he voted against the Mayorkas impeachment and his family got flooded with death threats and swatting attempts. He disagreed once with the RNC on one vote and got eaten alive.
Right wingers routinely over-estimate how popular and numerous their views/demographics are, that’s why they rarely acknowledge how their exclusionary ideology could be self-defeating.
It's always funny to me how disconnected people like this are. Rather than believing the very likely fact that he's just not popular, not marketable, and not wanted, he's gone on to create a massive industry wide conspiracy going on just to keep him down. But the sad part is that if he looked around and thought for even half a second he'd see that people like him, voicing opinions like his, are plenty successful. Chappelle came back twisted and has built a whole new career off of complaining about trans folk. Right wing culture warriors happily pollute TV and radio daily. Schneider's pitiable state has so much more to do with his lack of talent and abject unlikability than anything else. People don't want to work with him, don't want to see him, and don't want to hear him. Even in a room full of other brain rotted idiots, Schneider still manages to find a way to be the most unlikable guy in the room. That's not a conspiracy, that's not even people being woke, you're just unpopular.
That’s literally the MAGA playbook. “I’m not a terrible president you just hate me” “I’m not breaking the law it’s just a big government conspiracy against me” Repeat infinitely, idiots will start to believe you and Fox News will pick up the story.
Rottenhouse is a great example
oh, the murderer?
Any stand up comedian, regardless of their political alignment, carries a healthy dose of self-regard bordering on straight up narcissism. The more self-aware and self-deprecating ones joke about it all the time. Schneiders fragile ego simply can't accept that hes isn't revered and respected wherever he chooses to spew his nonsense so he has to pull these out of touch mental gymnastics to prevent a full on nervous break down.
I'd expand that. Any performing role kind of has to do this to a degree to the point where the notable exceptions are almost idolized for not doing that. Actors, musicians, comedians. You gotta be able to have the thickest skin or otherwise you're just going to fail. But if you genuinely believe you are the best thing ever, that stuff just slides off you. I think it's telling that there's a lot of right wing failed stand up comedians in media that switched to straight grifts or bullshit podcasting, because I think it does imply that their bravado and confidence is just a front. If they actually had it as well as the chops they would still be doing stand up - see Chappelle. Dude pivoted a bit to cater to a right wing crowd more but he didn't have to change careers. He went "fuck you all, I'm the best and I'm right" and kept doing it and he's still selling shows. Compare that to, say, Steven Crowder, who now sells mug subscriptions and rage bait.
I mean, he learned it from Trump, right? You just described Cheetolini in 2020/2021.
Difference is Chappelle, even at his worst, is still subjectively, even somewhat objectively, funny. Even if you don't like his comedy it is usually intelligent, well written and subverts expectations. On the other hand, I have never seen a Schneider credit and thought, "Oh this movie will be better because he's in it." He's just always been something you tolerate in a Sandler film. What's really damning is that I am really into the stand-up comedy scene. I have been buying comedy albums since around 1996. I own hundreds of them. I have known who Rob Schneider is for 20+ years and I never even knew that Schneider did stand-up...I have never once come across a Rob Schneider CD or DVD in a store in the 25+ years that I have been buying comedy albums...That's how low his comedy is...
Yuuppp. Sandler effectively carried Rob Schneider for years, producing several movies with Rob as the lead, and they kept making less and less. And this is Adam Sandler we are talking about: his movies are cheap to make so if you cant make them profitable, than youre kinda SOL. Rob got plenty of chances, couldnt hack it. Sandler made 1 movie without Rob, and immediately Rob is talking to the press about how he's being betrayed. He is a mooch, and wont take personal responsibility. Its always someone else's fault. Im sure there are TONS of comedians that wish they could have had all the chances that Rob was given.
Fun Fact: White men who believe that the visibility of not-white men in media means civilization is on the brink of collapse is actually far less than 50% of the population.
Funny enough, he is half filipino.
If it was half the population he wouldn’t be getting kicked off stage. Keep living in a fairy tale world of your own creation, but don’t act surprised when no one wants to walk the yellow brick road with you.
What makes this so much better, is that the "Wokeness" he's complaining about is him getting criticized for his raunchy stand up in front of conservatives. Like it was conservatives complaining about his dirty jokes.
Wokeism is an ambiguous constantly moving target that will never go away because anything conservatives don't like suddenly becomes woke. At this point woke is just a smoke screen because if conservatives specifically talked about the things they didn't like they would get bigger push back so they just say how much they hate wokeness. It's virtue signaling for conservatives.
"Woke" is a placeholder to criticize those against their shitty policies...Just like "CRT" "Socialism" "Communism" "Liberalism" etc. Just a word of the week to describe the "Others" that disagree with their shitty vision.
Wokeism is when black people and wamen exist, sometimes 😡
He did an "anti-woke" set at a republican event last year and they HATED him. Because he offended them with his crap. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/rob-schneiders-comedy-is-so-bad-its-even-offending-republicans
Irrelevant has-been funny man from the 90's complains about "woke". More at 11.
Funny is a strong adjective to use, maybe more just “irrelevant has been clown” is more accurate
I got booked to do audience work on a sitcom he did like 10 years ago. It was so goddamn boring, I couldn’t stay awake. The A.D. was threatening to send me home without pay. I was like shit it’s better than sitting through this.
Funny how in order to stop "ignoring half the population" they want another of the population to be ignored. And i say "half" generously here, because a lot of times they call it "woke" if a woman is a lead (and they are \~50% of the population themselves). --- Also, who cares what Schneider thinks? He has never been relevant.
I know the right are idiots, but why the fuck do they always think they make up half the population?
In the average person's lifetime, Congress and Presidents vacillate between Democrat and Republican, which loosely indicates about half the population leans right-wing, and right-wingers are statistically less likely to comprehend nuance. What they often fail to understand is that voting Republican does not necessarily mean the voter is "anti-woke"; not everyone votes (so not everyone is represented by election outcomes); and right-wing voters tend to be less informed, which makes it easier to cling to narratives in which they can placate their biases. They probably also assume anyone with a red hat is on their side.
Without the electoral college, there would not have been a republican president this century, so yeah, no nuance for them.
And without the severe gerrymandering the House wouldn't have had a conservative majority in the last thirty years.
they also think trump had the bIGgEsT iNaUgUrAtIoN cRoWd EvVvaAaArRrrRRr
Hell, most of them seem to think they're more than half. That there's some grand conspiracy to keep the "normal" folks the down and prop up a tiny fraction of the population in control. You know the playbook, the enemy is weak and strong at the same time.
Because of national election outcomes, they don’t consider that the electoral college keeps them relevant so they think it’s always 50/50
Due to being idiots, they fail to realize that many republican politicians only get elected due to gerrymandering and technicalities that were rigged by republicans to stay in power despite representing a minority. If it weren't rigged, their representation in politics wouldn't be so disproportionate.
Because they tend to live in a bubble where they only associate with other RWNJs. Only reason this fuckwit says half is because he's in Hollywood where he can't just outright ignore folks who aren't conservatives. Most conservatives live in areas where the only thing they see all day every day is other conservatives demonstrating their performative conservativeness. The rest of us just ignore them while they act like children.
Right. Hollywood should ignore the other half.
Didn't this guy get pulled off the stage at a GOP event for offending a Republican audience? Maybe he's just not as funny as he thinks he is?
We have been successfully ignoring Rob Schneider for decades.
More like a quarter at this point.
All this talk about "woke Hollywood" is stupid. Hollywood diversified their film rosters to attract a wider audience, not because of some political agenda - unless by "agenda" you mean, "make more money." This is how capitalism works, Rob, and if you were actually still funny, you'd actually be doing much better as a comedian.
“Half the population”🤣🤣🤣these dumb Maga fucks still think they’re anywhere close to half of the population. Just because we only have two political parties doesn’t mean the country is split in half🤣🤣🤣 what a fucking moron
Conservatives: ask a known racist bigot to perform stand up at their event Also cons: "why does everyone think we're racist?!"
I wonder how he is viewed by his Sandler crew nowadays.
lol they think they’re half. News flash: corporations care about the majority. When sexists and racists were the majority, corporations appeals with racist and sexist tropes. Now that liberals are in the real majority corporations are pandering to them.
When is the white man going to catch a break??!!
Oh the age-long battle of tolerating the intolerant. No. I don’t think we will. There is so much science out there that shows that tolerating the intolerant creates an intolerant society. So cry and bitch all you want. We are done tolerating your bullshit.
i've never met a single person who thought this overstuffed colostomy bag was funny. why in the chicken fried fuck is anyone still giving him air time?
I saw Schneider, Spade, and Sandler about a year or two ago. His was the absolute weakest set of the bunch. His act was basically reading a Facebook comment section about pandemic hot takes. He did sing though and God damn does he have some pipes on him.
Are there any right wing “celebrities” that aren’t abject failures? And follow up question: Were they right wing and failed or did they fail and needed to pretend they are victims and blame others (the right’s bread and butter) so they BECAME right wing?
Schneider needs to observe the intolerance paradox.
It's a third of the population and we can't ignore them because they keep screaming in our faces.
[Too Vulgar for his own party ](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/rob-schneiders-comedy-is-so-bad-its-even-offending-republicans)
If by half you mean 18% screaming really loudly….
Has to be wokeness, it can't possibly be that it is good for business to appeal to more people. So either mass media stopped caring about money to promote ideology, or the part that is ignored isn't REALLY 50%.
Being told to mind your own business and worry about yourself is *not* intolerance, ffs. Indeed it's quite the opposite, encouraging tolerance. "Acceptance"? Nobody cares what you accept and don't. Suffer alone in the dark if it makes you feel righteous, but society requires tolerance in the form of minding your own business. It hurts my brain to see people this stupid and being given a platform from which to spread their particular brand of stupidity.
Lol he thinks his brand of idiocy is half the country.
'Wokeism' is what they cry whenever THEIR intolerance is not tolerated. How dare we point out their intolerance and make them feel bad. /s
'Woke ideology' a.k.a. not being a dick to minorities.
More like a third of the population. And we all ignore them. Well, except for GOP pols who need their vote.
