As an aspiring comedian, I never liked hinchcliff. His "Kill Tony" podcast and format has always been ridiculously racist/sexist. He's a "shock comedian" just like Anthony Jeselnik. They say the most upsetting, shitty things, and because it's so awkward and shitty, it makes people laugh. This is because after saying something horrible, the audience is forced to make a decision. Either the comedian is a terrible person with terrible opinions, OR the comedian is playing a character who happens to be a terrible person (think It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia).

The problem with this approach, is that it's only funny if the comedian is an otherwise good person. However, with a lot of these "shock comedians," you can tell that they're not playing a character, they're just shitty people. hinchcliff is one of those people.
