James, don't take this the wrong way but there's just no way I can watch a ventriloquist video from what appears to be the 80s. Just no way. This is coming from a person who not 20 minutes ago cried laughing to a weird al song, BTW. Just not gonna happen

That last sentence is fucking perfect. In my eyes this is the only ventriloquist act but maybe I'll give that one ago

The puppet says "suck that cock" a lot, and the guy keeps going, "alright". It's... yeah.

In all seriousness it's probably just a very East coast US centric thing and im not at all surprised that it fails to amuse outside that context

It's literally a legendary act to a lot if people here, like if you're into really into comedy he's almost a folk hero

Ill try to post less muppets

Podcast as career has been a mixed bag overall but funny people who are only okay (or worse!) as comedians definitely have been the standout

That and all the tiny men calling for race war, big moment for them

This pierced my soul yesterday :lol:

For me, Louis' stuff about kids has gone from funny to therapeutic in the past two years

The Clifford v Narnia thing has been going in my head for hours :lol:
