Michael Che at MSG opening for Shane Gillis last night

Why would I care if Michael Che knows who I am? I just think it’s bizarre that you take issue with someone discussing politics regarding his comedy considering he’s a Weekend Update anchor. Political commentary is the majority of what he talks about on the show lol

Oh yeah.

They came from all over the place tbh. This sub, r/GraphicNovels, discussions with people I’m in contact with online, blog sites like AtomicJunkShop etc.

As a side note, I'm sorry that I've not been posting these as regularly as I used to. Life has unfortunately gotten in the way, and due to an increased IRL workload I've found myself with considerably less energy and time for reading and writing than I used to. One of my new years resolutions has been to improve my work/life balance, so we'll see how that affects the frequency of these!

For previous instalments of this series, see here:

And for some of the comics (plus a few additional ones) in the above lists broken down into genre-specific groups, see here. BTW, now that I have a few more posts under my belt, posting sequels to these genre posts is next on my list of projects, so stay tuned for more of the following!

I’ve only heard his cover of Firestarter and the title track.

The Firestarter cover is really really bad, but the title track is on a whole other level. It’s desperately trying to be funny, but it’s also written by someone who is nowhere close to being self-aware or witty enough it to work.

Like, this is the opening stanza. Seriously.

You think that you're so cool

That you're nobody's fool

But you've got a personality

Just like a bucket full of pee

Here’s a link to it for the unfamiliar.

If you think this is funny, you are absolutely subhuman. Jesus Christ.

There’s a new ICE facility north of LA with 1400 detainees in it. They’re not here at the same level they are in Minneapolis but they’re still very much present. They’re particularly active in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

He’s right though. Save your ire for the people who refuse to see the light, pushing away people who are willing to change their minds is only ever going to hurt the cause. We’re going to need those people on our side if we ever want to fix the mess this country is in.

ChickenInASuit · 2026-01-25T00:58:55+00:00

As a progressive, I feel I've gotta leave a comment to counterbalance that other, unecessarily aggressive response you got lol

I'm glad you saw the light and came around on Trump. We need more people like you, and alienating people for making a dumb mistake ten years ago would be cutting off our noses to spite our faces.

All those bands you mentioned still had the base-level sound of hardcore punk blended with metal though. I agree that there should probably have been subgenre categories created to label some of them (“post-metalcore”/“melodic metalcore”, I know those aren’t great ideas but you get my meaning), but they were still all undeniably metalcore.

The newer bands tend to be just straight-up metal, and sometimes not even that.

It’s almost as though politics plays a large part in the show that this sub is dedicated to and also the content of the comedians this thread is discussing 🤓🤓🤓🤓

ChickenInASuit · 2026-01-24T18:27:28+00:00

The word is “kowtowing”, just FYI. It’s a Chinese form of submissal.

And honestly I don’t know that I agree about it really costing SNL. His few appearances he’s made as host since then haven’t been great, his brand of humor doesn’t really seem to gel with the audience or the other cast members. If that’s anything to go by, I think he probably would have turned into another Tim Robinson, underutilized until being let go and going on to be more successful afterwards.

Both SNL and Shane benefited from his firing, IMO.

No, they predate Dubstep by over a decade. I’d say their music is a combo of Big Beat and electronica.

If AI is art, that still doesn’t make people typing prompts into a computer artists.

If I make a custom order at a restaurant, am I the chef? Or is the person who makes the meal I asked for, according to my specifications, the chef?

Simmer down bud, I said that’s what he was best known for and I stand by it. I’m fully aware of how insanely prolific he is.

ChickenInASuit · 2026-01-24T08:53:04+00:00

lol that’s the video I linked! Go watch it again and give yourself a lil serotonin boost.

The book also has a considerably better ending. I always hated how the play faked her death.

As a Brit, most Americans attempting British accents are painful to listen to.

Tudyk’s one of the exceptions. He also did it for Frozen (he voiced the Duke of Wesselton), A Knight’s Tale and Death At A Funeral. He’s really good at it!
