re: Anthony Jeselnik - Thoughts & Prayers

Ive been a big fan of standup comedy my entire life. I watched many now great comics when they were just getting started on shows like "The 'A' List", "Comic Justice", "Premium Blend", "Short Attention Span" Theater", "Two Drink Minimum" and "Stand-Up, Stand-Up".

Anthony Jeselnik is good. Hes damn good.

Didn't he date Amy Schumer??

He's definitely the funniest comedian there is right now, and it ain't even close to me.

You know, he's right. He's right and we know it. You know. I know. We all know. What do we know? That he's right. You know?

I believe in the power of prayer, and I even believe in the power of telling someone who needs a prayer that you are praying for them.

That being said, he's absolutely correct about the twitter posts to that effect that go to nobody. If the person who needs the prayer isn't receiving your message, it's self indulgent and dumb.

That's obviously an opinion statement, but I wouldn't say he's the best. He's definitely a once trick pony like some are saying, but he's very good at the trick. Like surprisingly good to where each time he does it, I'm still interested in watching even though I kind of know what's coming.

My dad was a complicated man. He was a huge racist, my dad, but he still tried to be a good father, you know? Like, he would tell me that Santa Claus was black — that way, when I found out he didn’t exist, it wouldn’t be that big a let down.

My girlfriend said, "Anthony, how can you make jokes about rape when you know I was raped in high school."

And I told her, "It's because honey, I don't believe you."

You're like a wedding photographer that only takes selfies.

Dude... Jeselnik is fricking awful.

But, if you are thinking and praying for someone there is zero reason to post that shite. The only reason to post that you said a prayer is because you want attention. He nailed this.
