As I mentioned yesterday, Norm McDonald is in a whole bucket of hot water over some comments he made criticizing the #MeToo movement.
As of now, his new Netflix show has not been canceled…but his appearance on the ‘Tonight Show’ has.
Kathy Griffin is all sorts of worked up about it.
I can’t get a Netflix special because I once had the audacity to share that a Netflix executive told me that because they had Chelsea Handler, they didn’t need other women…
Meanwhile, Norm Macdonald has a Netflix talk show….
Double Standard? I think so… https://t.co/wNlKik14j0

Kathy, Kathy, Kathy.
Do you have NO shame?
This makes you look unbelievably petty.
Plus:
Norm Macdonald has a Netflix talk show because he’s funny. https://t.co/EeZ3g42gYO

Bingo. You’re just not funny, Kath.
KATHY. IS. TRIGGERED.
Fuck you @michaeljknowles, I have the guiness book of world records for most televised comedy specials and my tour is going to gross over $4 million. You Daily Wire people don’t seem to get that Comedy is subjective. Idiots. https://t.co/iV4kvtVl5o

“I AM FUNNY OMG I AM SO FUNNY. YOU ARE SO STUPID.”

BAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
Now THAT is funny.
But f’real? She has a world record for most televised comedy shows?
Why?
Did some random channel in Turkmenistan get a killer deal on dubbed Kathy Griffin specials?
Subway also has the most sandwich shop locations. Quantity isn’t quality.

DAAAAMN. SO true.
But seriously. People came in HARD for Un-funny Kathy.
Right. And Netflix subjectively decided you’re not as funny as Norm. https://t.co/RJPaFMlcOz

Under socialism yet s’posed to spread it around. Why should Kathy get to do all the comedy?

This tweet is a self-own if she’s admitting comedy is subjective. https://t.co/GFykeVynrp

This one’s spot on:
Golden Rule of Comedy:
If the immediate response to “you aren’t funny” is a profanity laced appeal to authority coupled with wage shaming – you are in fact, not funny.
This was the perfect opportunity for a zinger, comedic retort or hilarious come back. Alas we got this: https://t.co/674OS0SeS5

EXACTLY right. If you were FUNNY this could have been SUCH a funny back-and-forth.
Instead, it was a tantrum.
Your real claim to fame was single handedly ruining every seinfeld episode you ever appeared in.

AHAHAHA. Accurate.
Chad Felix Greene has a different take… and in a weird way, it may be the harshest.
You can be funny.
You are one of my favorite comedians.
I loved your book, your specials and your show.
But politics has made you angry and spiteful. You are indistinguishable from the unfunny, offended, outraged ppl you used to make fun ofI miss Kathy.
Now you’re Rosie. 😔 https://t.co/qGAs9yWdYy— Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) September 12, 2018
Yiiiikes.
So… what stings harder?
Realizing you’re not funny?
Or realizing you may have BEEN funny… but entirely squandered anything you used to be/could have been with HATE?
