That writer's joke... oof. What a bad time for that joke to air

The one where the writers worked themselves to death and were replaced by a robot that ruined the show?

Which part was bad timing?

I think he's referencing the Writer's Guild strike which has been ongoing since May.

I believe they're implying that those jokes are actually a perfect metaphor for what the writers are striking about.

I think you missed the joke, they were replaced by a robot.
