Not saying it wouldn't still do well, but Tiger King released at the absolute perfect time: March 2020. A time where everyone was bored, maybe scared, and in need of an escape that was simultaneously too ridiculous to be reality while at the same rule too unbelievable to have been made up.

Side note, the guy who made Tiger King made another docuseries cake Chimp Crazy that I find is even better.

In this same vein, I've never had a from-scratch brownie that I like better than the box brownies.

My partner was once given an employee appreciation gift of a $5 Ben & Jerry's gift card. This was after being furloughed for a few months during covid. She worked at a hospital which posted record profits that year. There aren't even any Ben & Jerry's in our city.

Except for they didn't avoid it. They knew it was happening weeks in advance and didn't do shit to stop it. Just because franchise owners have a bit of autonomy does NOT mean corporate won't bring the hammer down if they think something will tarnish the brand.

How does searching discord work? I was under the impression that entire chat logs weren't permanent and that older exchanges would be routinely deleted.

Great watch, hopefully they make more of this type of content!

Won't disagree with you there, I was just explaining why he's put on such a pedestal. It's not uncommon for the most well known people in an art to not be the absolute most talented people doing it; unfortunately talent alone almost never brings people success.

I mean Seinfeld was fucking huge. It's hard to overstate how big a hit it was in its time. And he was co-creator, the lead role, and obv his name is the name of the show. How could you not see people putting him up as one of the greats?

I'm not personally the biggest fan of his particular style of comedy, and you can certainly find issue with his personality and behavior over the years, but the man knows how joke structure works. He's an expert in his craft. And you may not think he's as good as some of his contemporaries, but there's no denying he's more of a household name than most if not all of them.

I'm not sure but I think that comment might be clever satire
