Is 'Mr. Birchum' Rightwing Cringe?

- When it comes to comedy, the ultimate question is simple: Does it make you laugh? In the case of "Mr. Birchum," the answer is a resounding yes. Its ability to make you laugh outweighs any minor flaws it may have, making them easy to overlook. Does it overly politicize in a world where everything seems to be entangled in politics?

This is not how DW should go about winning the “culture war”. In fact, the best approach is to not play into the culture war tactics and just make objectively good films and shows that have positive moral themes that most people can rally behind. In short… don’t be Hollywood! 😂
I agree. Just make a good show with solid morals instead of beating people over the head with anti woke messaging. I don't think the daily wire is willing to do that, though.
@@dannyknightblade4592 Indeed. DW can't see the forest for the trees. They’re too hellbent on this current strategy and it’s backfiring already. 🤦🏻♂️
This is the first show they've made with overtly poltical anything in it.
do like Eric July does and just make good content.
Mostly they do. A large majority of their movies are just plain old cool movies. The only ones that are overtly political are "lady ballers" and this Mr. Birchum. The rest are just good movies.
I didn't laugh a single time during the free screening of episode one. I don't think I even smiled. I just sat there wondering why they even bothered making the show.
Hey mark, nobody knows you here? Wtf? Keep the great work
Hey, Mark. Didn't know you watched anyone else's channel. 🤭
Mark dice appreciate you and your channel man.
I'm guessing you love Candace too. What a coincidence.
Dennis Candace did not deserve to be fired for the truth but the dw should not get hate.
I couldn’t agree more. The reason South Park works is because the entire show isn’t just based on offending people. Nor do they make the entire focal point of the show going after “woke people.” It’s just a legitimately funny social satire. Nobody is off the table for being made fun of.
You said it all.
South Park makes fun of everyone and everything with very few holds bared
Exactly! Drawn Together was a lot like that too. And that's why those shows received zero backlash apart from the butthurt celebrities they made fun of.
That's because the writers are compassionate in equal measure to how scathing they can be, and they rip on people and things they actually like, most of all.
Last Man Standing doesn’t treat people like idiots and Tim Allen is amazing.
Im liberal and I liked LAst Man Standing. Dont have to offend to be funny
not only am I a big 'Ol Lefty but also an atheist... and I really enjoyed Last Man Standing. To be fair I also grew up on Home Improvement so I am a bit biased haha
*tip for writers
Write about what you love, not what you hate.
When leftists make these types of cartoons. It’s cringe. When right wingers make these types of cartoons. It’s also cringe. We aren’t always interested in political jabs at people. It gets old real fast
There are plenty of jokes that aren’t political jabs and those were the ones I laughed at.
I'm thinking specifically of "that's my bush" back in the 2000s. When political comedy has an agenda, it sucks.
Exactly. This is the same shit as woke media, only this time they're beating you over the head with right-wing ideology instead of left-wing. They're hypocrites.

damn straight.
Daily wire is so cringe now. South Park is still a thing. And nothing Daily Wire could ever do would even come close to being as edgy as South Park
The shows seemed like a normal sitcom but showing current culture.
Daily Liar support gene oh side... Sad

Edgy and smart because it actually respects people unlike this shite.
_South Park_ is an anomaly, though… and it got its start 25+ years ago. _Mr. Birchum_ certainly isn’t the only show out there willing to be “offensive” to left-wing sensibilities… but I doubt _South Park,_ or maybe even _King of the Hill_ would get the green light these days 🤷🏻♂️😑
King of the Hill also scratches that itch, and most of the show is really good
I think it’s because Mike Judge made it based on the people he grew up around. He never had an agenda to portray them in a particular way, he just represented them exactly as he experienced them. That’s what made it such a genuinely good show, it was a more realistic depiction of middle America. It wasn’t making fun of these people, it was pointing out what makes them so interesting & how their own experiences shape their world view. It never felt like it was trying to “shine a mirror” or correct behavior, it was more of a reasoned depiction of regular, everyday people.
@@TD-bq5bo hed be the same he hates the government period
@TD-bq5bo Dale would probably think the government is behind woke and then go incognito as a fake woke.... then again if he introduced himself as Rusty Shackleford followed by saying his pronouns are hĥhhhhhiiiiimmmmm. I would bust my gut laughing.
I realized that when Hank worked with those communists at the commune cause they and the best steak he’s ever eaten. And Hank is a man of quality. In the end the communists realize they can make more money selling the steak to their version of Walmart. Pokes fun of communists but not in a way of hate. And one of the commies and Hank actually end up being friends. It’s a good show genuinely
@@chickenmaster66 appleseed is not a communist
The daily wire is stuck in 2016
Been saying this for awhile. Many right wing sites and personas still seem to think it’s 2016. The left has the same problem but I don’t think many talk about the right doing the same thing
Good. Where has being stuck in the present gotten us ?
@@richardabia9735I bet Lauren just dislikes it because the Daily Wire made it. I am not saying she has to like it but that is just my guess.
@@followerofchrist3125does Lauren actually like anything? She hates everything she reviews.
@@DS9YanksTOM It's like the show Pop Culture Crisis where they dislike almost all they review. Maybe Lauren might like The Fall Guy or Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.🤔
I'm left-wing and I love King of the Hill. The reason why Hank was such a lovable character was because even though he's a more conservative character, he genuinely cared about people regardless of his biases. His character never pandered to any one political standing. He wasn't trying to offend people, he was just a man doing his best.
Also, it was really strange that they tried to make Mr. Karponzi seem like a bad person for advocating against kidnapping and child labor. I'm pretty sure any parent, left or right wing, wouldn't want their child working construction for some dude they don't even know. 😅😂
I don't know about the pronoun thing dying down. Maybe they're late to the party, but I've been seeing this picking up steam in real life.
Based Camp did an analysis of the trends. It's on a downturn due to it screwing them over in the polls.
it’s bad. point blank, and is clearly a bitter response to "woke hollywood", wherein they fall into the exact same patterns of politics taking a center stage to a plot or enjoyment. they lived long enough to see themselves become the villains.
well where do you think woke hollywood originated from?
@@maximustrolleus9860 The Devil's anus I think
The biggest issue starts with the Daily Wire being a political organization. They needed to separate the entertainment wing from the political part and create a new company under a new name, but that's not what they are doing. The whole point is that people want classic entertainment again, they don't want overt political massaging pushed down their throats, no matter the side.
@@rpgadventurer32 Not in every case. They have made no political shows or comedies until this.
lol one side acts as though men can magically transform into women, the people who mock them are just as bad as them. May I recommend Monty Python's Life of Brian to you...czcams.com/video/jlo7YZW8vPA/video.htmlsi=-IaZbVWaYjrVsYN-
I hate that the woke character makes a valid point in the first episode. He's right about Mr. Bircham using the kids for his own personal project, under threat of failing them if they don't, because he assigned them too many donkeys, which he openly admits he gives for arbitrary reasons including "just don't like you."
Agree. The main character isn’t likable.
it's not right-wing cringe, it's daily wire cringe, which is even worse.
Wrong. Its BOTH.
It's reactionary cringe. To be funny you need to be revolutionary in your thinking.
It's not funny.
Neither is what the left puts out.
It kinda is…😁
@@childofthemist6174
Nah. Supporting a conservative version of Velma just because they have the same political beliefs as you, is stupid.
@@MarvinPowell1 So is DEI and We Wuz ….Everything. It’s about time you people saw push back on all the BS.
@@MarvinPowell1Very well put
Lame and a 1 trick pony. This will go nowhere.
Whether its lame is subjective, but most of the jokes are definitely not about wokeness.
bet the show never will make fun of Israel
Or blacks, or trans, just white people and we have plenty of that already.
Let's be honest That's why you and the people here don't like it is because it's daily wire. Anything from the daily wire has to be hated because Ben Shapiro is Jewish
Or not make fun of Black people... But the rest of us Hispanics, Asians, etc. absolutely...
Your bank is going to close your accounts tomorrow.
Bet you can't even make that comment on a dw related channel.
Seriously, I used to like those guys. I don't even care about the conflict, I just hate how dw sold out in general
“Do I have consent to shake your hand?”
“No!”
That line actually got me 😂
Really?
@@cameronward1567 I really wasn’t expecting to laugh but I did 😂 it was just the one, only when he said “NO” with such an angry look. Made me think of Ron Swanson
Don't really have the money for a Daily Wire subscription anyway, don't care.
Even if you had the money you shouldn't be supporting them
@@mbii7667People can support them if they like, as I will continue to support them. Candace is gone, deal with it.
Mbii then who should we support?
@@colorfulconch7745 independent creators who tell the truth
Why independent?
I didn't have to watch the show to know that it was a show that doesn't know how to make fun of themselves, only people they don't like. And that kind of "humor" doesn't work. So my interest is zero.
So the entire genre of satire doesn't appeal to you since it focuses on people the author doesn't like.
@@drgoremd That's not what Satire is but good try boomer.
@@Ifslayanct Satire: "the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues."
Mr. Birchum is the butt of plenty of jokes.
Mr Bircham was actually created decades ago by adam Carolla. He tried pitching this character with his own show but it didnt reach it. The old comedy central pilot seems less political than this one. But that was created before wokeness was a thing
I believe you, but it is weird, since what it is now seems such a "woke! woke! woke-di-woke!" 1-trick pony.
Seems to me like it can't have been anything but a really lame and boring rip-off of "American Dad" back in the day.
Corolla got his initial break into radio with Mr. Birchum calling in to Kevin & Bean Show on KROQ waaaaaaaaay back in like 1995, so the premise goes back much further. Same character; Ace has been doing it for literal decades.
@@TrangleCMr. Birchum is like Ron Swanson, but without everything that makes Ron Swanson funny
@@MillionYearProgram42 Then maybe he should have gotten the clue at some point that he is wasting his time on something that doesn't take off.
@@symptomofsouls Yeah, seems like it. The "grumpy old man" thing has been done to death.
King of the Hill is the same, but also actually funny.
The big problem from the clips is that the humor is way too on the nose and definitely seems like jokes for preaching to the choir. Some rewrites of dialogue would fix things.
Show looks awful. I’m not really sure trying to make an entire comedy show about Woke stuff is the right angle.. this ideology is a serious problem that should be talked about seriously at length. Making fun of it could be accomplished in a comic strip.
If you liked the early seasons of Last Man Standing then you will like it.
It’s not “all about woke stuff.” Of the two episodes originally released, only one of them was - the other was about veterans and inter-service rivalry.
Mockery is the best form of criticism, but that's not the issue, the issue is that they have not done a good job making an adult comedy show that mocks current day tropes in American society.
Most of the jokes aren't about "woke stuff". Mr. Birchum is the butt of plenty of jokes. If anything its a heavy handed attempt to make fun of Gen-Z and Millenials.
I think you hit it dead-on. I thought it looked cringe as hell from the moment I saw the trailer. Just like... be a little more subtle, damn.
I like that she references Ron Swanson. Because my first thought was that was a rip off of him. But the difference is Ron did not look to offend anyone. He was who he was. He accepted people he disagreed with and he promoted them. This is just a trolling TV show
If Rom Swanson was asked about his pronouns, he might say
"I don't give a damn...Also, he/him"
Pronouns are sadly still a thing. I find myself pushing back on them with friends constantly. And I don't voice up in front of strangers.
Yep. I wont use pronouns and i encourage others not to either. Dont let the morally bankrupt try to tell you what is good or bad.
I was asked mine by my new doctor & felt gross answering. They also literally interrogated me for five minutes on whether or not various parts of my genitalia were misshapen. Finally, I got sick of describing my vagina & said I was a bio woman non intersex to get them to stop. How do they think this will make people, even trans people, LESS insecure about their bodies? 🤦♀️
One of Doctor Who most recent episodes, apparently had a character correcting someone, saying his pronouns are "them".

@@moxavenger Yes, top 1% of it at least
Instead of making something good without worrying about ESG, Daily Wire yet again makes pointedly political cringe like they did with lady ballers.
To be fair southpark makes political points all the time they just aren't creative or artistic, they aren't very funny, and are way too straight forward and one sided to make anything feel like it has any depth.
Boondocks has a crap ton of political and philosophical stuff in it but honestly most people didn't even pick up on it, because if the black community noticed most of the messaging they probably wouldn't like the show nearly as much ironically
Meanwhile just about everything else is left wing political cringe but that's ok right?
@@1393floyd just cz the others are producing cringe doesnt mean you should too... people are tired of seeing emssaging everywhere... just create a good story with good morals... family guy and south park(when the get political) are at least funny ...This is neither funny nor clever...too on the nose...which is why its bad
@@SuicidalSummerSnowWoman Family Guy was mostly on the nose with its political bias, the character of Brian is literally a mouth piece for Seth MacFarlane's left wing politics and militant atheism.
They literally had an episode where Peter beats up Trump while kissing a portrait of Obama. Last time they were neutral was before the show was revived, when they were just a simple raunchier knock off of the Simpsons.
@@dannysummers4591 The episode Meg converts to Christianity is when it became extremely explicit. Literal cookie cutter atheist talking points.
Yes this feels like a rebuttal show.....they do stuff like Velma, so we must respond with this. I guess I dislike this for the same reason I dislike political signs in peoples yards. Who are they for? The people who are already on your side or your adversaries who will never be swayed by your Trump 2024 flag? When I drive through a neighborhood and see Trump and Biden signs in different yards it just smacks of a bunch of people giving eachother the finger from accross the street. Shows like this evoke the same feeling.
It suffers in comparison to King of the Hill, which has similar themes, but which was less political.
Yeah i wish it will be more King of the Hill , that was doing pro Right wing propaganda but as a side story !
It's too political
Thats an opinion lmao
@@FlawlessP401No. Its a fact.
right, and from a company and side of the aisle that ALWAYS complains about media being political and left leaning
I get it, you wants conservatives to have media too and fight back in this neo-Culture War
but it has to be smarter/better/more subtle than this
So what
New-found respect for Adam Corolla, at least
EXCELLENT WORK. MEDIAHOLIC
The dw doesn’t have guts, they have grift
Lauren, yes, people still use pronouns, its not just a thing on Twitter. As a matter of fact, at work, many of the nurses and even doctors and providers have put their pronouns on their Microsoft Teams and Outlook profiles and on their email signatures. Furthermore, this takes place at federal facilities. Also, there are certain online game e-sports tournaments like Overwatch League, etc which have the commentators with their pronouns. I'm pretty sure whoever runs that esports venue makes them do it. Also, the fact that *some* people no longer use pronouns on the left does not mean that it should not still be a topic of constant ridicule. This nonsense needs to be laughed out of western societies. Other than that, I think there were good points made here. I agree that mainstream sit-coms and the like have made fun of the super woke aspects of the left and, as of late, it at least shows that the creators have *some* self-awareness, despite likely pushing leftist narratives or being a part of the overall leftist foundational power structures in Hollywood themselves (who also are guilty of pushing said narratives). I have a personal stake in wanting to see the Daily Wire win, being someone who has supported them since their inception, but the moves they have been making as of late are disappointing, this show being one of them. I didn't even know they originally had Candace cast in it which opens up another box of questions for another time.
Last point. This weird conversation has been occurring for a long time in, shall we say, "anti-woke" and non-leftist circles, regarding entertainment where otherwise level-headed commentators express frustration at entertainment having stories that are political or those stories which have some amount of social commentary. I think political themes used in stories are great and have no problem with that in and of itself, however, there is a delicate balance that must be taken into perspective when an artist chooses to write them into their stories. Typically where it starts to feel insufferable is where the content overtly panders to an audience or takes great strides to hammer a narrative home (except perhaps in the case of historical atrocities perhaps). Some of the best stories that I have seen, whether I have had some bias in the affirmative or negative of the narratives in the story, had themes which were made to appear ambiguous to the uninitiated viewer or at least handled the subject with the care of subtlety. Thus showing that the writers and creators had a respect for the intellect of its audiences.
It is refreshing to see good faith conservatives who are not grifters and showboaters critiquing other mainstream alternative conservative media outlets who are on our side. I hope some of the reactions to this show will help The Daily Wire consider more carefully the audience that they are making entertainment for, particularly since the audience that it was built on were Millennials and Generation Z.
I grew up in L.A.County and listened to KROQ in the mornings. They had a show Kevin & Bean, that had appearances of MR. Berchum, played by Adam Corolla. He was hilarious, but bringing the character back so many years later and having him tamed is a sad thing. I personally feel like he is a watered down version of his former self.
I feel like the character fits better in sketch comedy like he used to be.
The show's not great, but people need to remember it's not just libs who have it out for this show, it's a lot of Candace simps too, so a lot of people wanted this show to fail before even watching the first episode.
People still say "libs"? Damn.
Unfortunately entertainment is not the right-wing's strong suit.... but at least they're trying, we'll get there.
I will say this though, we also need to just get back to entertaining again with fewer to no political undertones or overtones.
This is a good first step. The second and next iterations of conservative media will drastically improve.
I don't know what this show is but "let the record show that I'm a dick" made me laugh.
This reminds how people reacted to Velma because everyone has the same annoyed rection regardless of what their politics are.
With Velma everyone said 'FUCK YOU!' and with Mr Bircham everyone says 'BORING!'
The problem is the daily wire made a show and a movie that takes shots at the left very intentionally. Instead of just making good content. Their focus is in the wrong place. It's only going to appeal to extreme right. Like there's things that appeal to the extreme left. This is why movies like Top Gun Maverick was successful. It just focused on being a good movie without any agenda. If I may also shout out Eric July YoungRippa. He makes comic books that speak to everyone. His books don't go out of the way to take jabs at the other side (DC & Marvel) DW is focusing on the wrong thing.
I can assure you this doesn't appeal to the extreme Right. This is targeted toward Fox News conservative boomers.
They have a lot more content that is completely non political movies and shows. A majority of their movies and shows that they've funded and put on their platform are non political. Keep up bro.
@@adararelgnel2695How dare we critisise lefitists after they have been doing it for years. 😀
I'm a terrible person I guess. But right now I feel that the only true counter cultural comedy would be flat out racist jokes.
Honestly i doubt even one of these ”anti woke” people actually have enough of a spine to do something like that
Racism and antisemitism are begging to be released upon the world. South Park made waves going there, but you won't catch DW making fun of themselves.
@@hiidenkiuas We pull them a lot in the internet underground with memes and such.
And unlike the DW's milquetoast level of comedy they're actually hilariously funny.
In large part due to the fact that those jokes would get you fired or cancelled in a heartbeat.
@@sevenproxies4255 ignoring the obvious, the problem with the joke being just that you’re racist is that only really racist people think they’re funny, and the majority of people aren’t that racist
Racism is not a bad thing
The key is subtlety, and there is no subtlety in the show based on the first ep that I watched, the jokes are not landing. Beyond that, It's also extremely safe in its aesthetics and interactions between the characters. It's actually trying to not "offend" or be edgy in any way, it's also overtly political when it should be more like South Park or the Simpsons, it needs to be more about American society in general, it needs to be fun and entertaining with compelling characters. It needs to have outrageous characters, not what they showed, nor a standard high school, it needs to take risks. This needs true adult humor, to tear into American society's tropes from all directions, to make fun of it in a way that connects with the younger generation and allows anyone who may watch - no matter their political side - to connect with the show on some level.
so if u think this isn't up to edgy par, then what is lauren chen's top 10 cartoon/anime edgy series? so that we the audience have an idea of what your comparing this to

Idc about the show but saying that making fun of the alphabet people and their pronouns is outdated is extremely cringe. Did Pearl break your brain?
An entire show based on being anti somebody else isn't a solid show. Also who tf is talking about pronouns who isn't a political freak who's online constantly? Yeah it's outdated by about a decade.
@@AmiliaCaraMiaI unfortunately work with some of those pronoun people, so no, it’s not just for the obsessively online crowd. The whole trans/pronoun bs is still very much a thing.

Everyone use pronouns
@@ellec5584 I live in a pretty far left city, and even here those people aren't common unless you go to their corners like at a Starbucks or some hipster dive bars.
Mocking them in a really heavy handed and obvious way isn't funny, and it hasn't been cutting edge since like 2014-2016.
A better example of mocking them is Sam Hyde's "Privileged White Male Triggers Oppressed Victims, Ban This Video Now and Block Him" video.
I was hopeful about Daily Wire during the Carrano/Star Wars fiasco. I thought that they would keep their commentary and entertainment projects separate. Hell... since that western movie with Carano, all they do is some sort of trolling (Snow White) or social commentary (Lady Ballers) and now this sitcom where apparently Family Guy and Ron Swanson had a child... And the casting of their projects is like Sandler movie. It's like hanging out with director's friend rather than serious business.
They don't understand animation and effective character design, and the jokes are obviously pushing the same message every episode. It's just...Tame and watered down comedy.
Okay Lauren, saying you've never heard "triggered" used ironically or unironically in six years is a hyperbolic lie of gigantic proportions, and you know it! Wokescolds can't go a day on the internet without talking about their "triggers". Dislike the show all you want, but don't be disingenuous just to be a libertarian contrarian. Holy shit.
I can confirm I've heard both "triggered" and someone declaring their pronouns really recently...in public....in the UK....in a professional workplace capacity.
She probably moved to a much nicer neighbourhood away from the crazies. And she's a mom now, her demographic is not the demographic that uses these terms. And she works from home mostly, she's not surrounded by woke colleagues. It makes sense that she wouldn't hear it much.
You know that triggering is a real thing is connected to trauma responds
@@SubZero-hs9xc yes, but the left made it into a meme by associating it with very trivial things like someone having a different opinion
Lauren Chen has been a populist midlife crisis since her Richard Spencer interview and has sheltered herself completely which has made her very out of touch (and a punching bag in her recent videos like with Andrew Wilson).
They can't let go of 2016 since that was the only time these people had a modicum of respect
They need to let me write some movie scripts for them, I don't do political stories, but my scripts are entertaining! Which is my goal, to entertain the masses!!
I believe that whatever you can write is better than Mr Birchum
i think smiling friends is a great example of a good adult cartoon
Well, I’m glad Lauren talked about the real reason that she doesn’t like Mr Birchem - Candace Owens and it’s a Daily Wire production.
It’s also dumb and cringey and would have been much better being made in 2016 and not 2024
@@Joshua-ch2ij True but that’s not why she’s shitting on it is it? ;)
Hiring a hack like Candace Owens will be one of the Daily Wire's dumbest decisions ever. Glad they got rid of that nut.
This is like the right wing version of velma
In fact who more cringe velma or mr birchum
Velma is more cringe, by far
Velma
relax
The aware of being satire version of Velma.
Velma. Birchum is just boring and has no real zest to anything that they do.
Mr. Karponzi is the most sensible, reasonable character in this show. He was the only one who protested a TEACHER telling KIDS to go to his house WITHOUT TELLING THEIR PARENTS. It's like how Fred ended up being the most likeable character in Velma.
In the real world Birchum would have been fired and most likely arrested.
I actually expected it to not be good but it's ok. It has some fun characters
Conservatives: Why don't we build our own alternatives to Disney, Google, and Facebook?
Also Conservatives: These shoe string budget attempts to compete with Disney, Google, and Facebook are shit. Don't patronize them!
People have to remember too that it's not just leftists who are out for blood regarding this show, but also Candace-simps. The show isn't great, but it's not bad either.
The writing still sucks
As an Artist, I agree, I hate when things are to political - I enjoy watching shows because of the stories they can tell. Here are few anime/animation that are still amazing to watch, UP, Spirited Away, Zootopia, Howl's Moving Castle and many more...They are not just amazing for their visual but the stories they are telling....I am not a fan of political animation, but if I were to say if any was good that did touch upon politics, the old Futurama and American Dad - did a good job at it.
Miyazaki is a raging marxist, and Futurama was globalist propaganda, while American Dad was anti right propaganda since it was very much a product of the Bush era
Lauren, I suggest a review of Clarkson Farm.
The trailers didn’t give that away?
This is literally just a right-wing version of every woke liberal cartoon like Fairview, Grimsberg, Krapopolis, or even Velma.
You'd think they would have learned people don't want politics in their entertainment; _from either side._
Wrong , most people like politics in their entertainment but only if they agree with it !
@@yatarookayama8329 wrong, nobody wants one sided partisan politics with a mediocre show/movie attached to it
people prefer evergreen stories and characters with themes that are implicit.
One criticism I have for Lauren us that the DW has released several movies which are pretty apolitical. Run Hide Fight, Terror on the Prarie, and Shut In are a few examples, and the upcoming Snow White is another. I haven't seen Mr Birchum yet, but plan to.
They haven't even started filming snow white yet. That was a click bait thrown together trailer to capitalize on Disney's bad press for their unpopular actress. And let's all be honest, Lauren would make a better snow white than Brett Cooper even with no acting experience. It's not going to be a hit.
Since you know than them just tell them directly 'Do This, Trust Me It Will Work!'. I suppose this long divisionally does that, but what journey.
I liked "Run,Hide, Fight", but knew i wouldn't like "Lady Ballers" based on the trailer. Their "Snow White" trailer looked the caliber of a straight to DVD movie by The Asylum Entertainment
Ms. Chen gets MORE beautiful as she gets older 😘.
On to the show, it seems like a less funny version of the toons on Babylon Bee. No reason to pay for the Daily Wire+ subscription and i dont do illegal downloads. So i guess its a pass for me.
I'm usually unimpressed with the Babylon Bee and I can tell you this is significantly funnier.
Babylon bee is funny but the newer stuff is kinda dumb ngl.
I'm tired of communists complaining that any time anyone asks a kid to do labor that is some how "forced child labor"
and yes this comes up a lot as of last week. one of the video game reviewers I follow was complaining that manor lord was forcing their kids to work.
it's like, what else are they going to do? sit there and stare at the wall? It's the middle ages, it's not like there is anything better to do. And back then everyone was just trying to survive all hands on deck. They seriously need to get out of that mindset that any work is bad for kids.
As for this show, meh. Idk is the simpsons able to keep up with the kids? is south park able to keep up with the kids? I honestly hvae no idea. I've lost touch with the mainstream probably around 2019 because I stopped following it with all the brain damage Trump reactionary crap.
But in general I don't even watch sitcoms. I'm more drama or scifi kind of stuff.
"You children arent mature to work, they should enjoy their childhood since rhey are still gonna work 70% of their life"
"Communist!! "
So he gets suspended for three days without pay because he's in a union? I wanna be part of THAT union then!
A teacher out here got suspended for a week without pay because they breached policy. This policy was that teachers cannot post any identifying information about a current student or a student within the past couple years. What happened here was that a teacher took a picture of a raccoon they saw while grading papers at home (Unpaid work~) but if you zoomed in really close, you could lmake out that a piece of paper had something like "Jan", "Jen", or "Jon" and make out that was an assignment.
That alone was enough to be considered a breach of policy.
That’s outrageous. Poor teacher!
I feel like the only genuinely good show that the DW could bring up right now is their upcoming fantasy show the Pendragon Cycle. The whole art style and idea of an "adult animated show" like Mr. Birchum shouldn't be the kind of stuff they should be producing in the first place, because tackling politics and being edgy that's cringe in a way is not their forte to begin with.
I don't think you are at all capable of giving an unbiased review of this show.
You have run the DW drama into the ground and then some.
Agreed. The show is just ok but I can appreciate effort while Lauren continues to simp for a psycho like Candace Owens.
If I was doing a "conservative" and "edgy" comedy show I wouldn't do boomer in 2024 high school, but Alex Jones conspiracy theorist getting superpowers and having the villains be the [CENSORED] and [REDACTED].
The MC should have been an internet shitposter
That would've been actually funny and interesting to watch.
Could have been great. There was a Joe Rogan episode with Russell Brand where Joe showed an animated clip of Rogan with Alex Jones and another guy all ranting- I was dying laughing.
The idea of having 2 realities is an existential threat. Coffee shops for libs and cons, news for libs and cons, cartoons for libs and cons.... it's unsustainable.
There's a difference between jokes about politics and jokes about current events. People will laugh at easy jokes about current events because they have to be generated quickly and there's an element of "I know what that is" appeal. Just saying "I know what that is" about politics doesn't have the same freshness.
No. They're still talking about it. Your just over it. Lol
Mr birchum is just a character that Adam Carolla used to get on the radio and drrvdrew likes the character it's why he chose Adam to do love line
Dr. Drew didn't "choose" Adam to cohost Loveline. Drew was just a host as well, not the creator. Pretty sure it was junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior JUNIOR producer Ann (Ingold) who did the casting when Adam got brought on as a third host at the time, through his relationship with KROQ.
EDIT: source: me, a listener of possibly every episode of Loveline to have ever aired (during the Corolla years). They need to bring this back as a modern podcast. THAT would be gold. Think Adam and Drew have moved on pretty far from the Loveline days tho...
There is no way this animation took years.
It all just feel a little on the nose. (and that's just after watching the first clip)
Daily Wire are a bunch of boomer humor try-hards. First Lady Ballers cringe, now this. Jeremy Boering really needs an intervention. He fancies himself a great comedic writer, but he'd do much better to hire funnier writers to come up with the material.
Ron Swanson 1 dimensional? His whole character arc is learning to let the right people into his life. By the end of the series he’s living in suburbia and paying taxes
I will be honest a lot of the properties people claim are “too political” now have always been super political. The issue is usually the politics of the creators have evolved/changed past the fans or in fairness occasionally the politics have become more surface level or” in your face” as the skill of writers declines
I haven't seen the series but the BBC recently released a live action comedy called "mammoth" that goes along a similar grain with it's "comedy". If the BBC are treading alongside you it's not brave or shocking comedy.
There are very few comedies which make you laugh out loud.
TWO AND A HALF MEN - never laughed
YOUNG SHELDON - never laughed
SAVED BY THE BELL - never laughed
THE NANNY - never laughed
FAMILY MATTERS - never laughed
MONK - never laughed
FRIENDS - never laughed
SEINFELD - never laughed
Many of those shows were entertaining. Today's culture is getting crazy, you should either be crying, laughing or going crazy. I'm not laughing out loud but I'm laughing on the inside.
I'm not crying and you don't want me crazy. So I try to stay happy and laugh at the world.
Only shows that ever made me laugh out loud were Konosuba and The Boondocks
Plus:
KING OF THE HILL
FUTURAMA
Everything in BOB'S BURGERS
You don't have a sense of humor if none of those shows, including some legendary shows on that list, didn't make you laugh. Different strokes I guess.

Where have you been living recently? I heard triggered used non-ironically within the last month and I see pronouns more than ever now... Everywhere.
She means that people online aren't meming it as much as in 2015. It's not relevant enough to be a joke in the trailer let alone the show.
Right? I was kinda thinking "what is she talking about?" while she was saying it
@@MillionYearProgram42She will say anything to slam the Daily Wire now. It would be more interesting if she reviewed The Fall Guy (Which she would probably like for a change) and maybe Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
She moved from Canada to Tennessee and has become terminally online and sheltered if you have watched her discuss topics in other people's channels or her recent video with Andrew Wilson. She clearly doesn't know what the average life is for most of us and how we are still dealing with this at work and life.
Art often fit the context they were created in.
Initial Impression: Satire of woke-which is still taken seriously in 90% of media-is a worthwhile project (even if poorly executed).
This way a very fair and constructive thank you.
They should've made a cartoon of Matt Walsh and called it Mr. Walsh, a conservative superhero who has to deal with the woke dregs of society. Now that's funny!
No, it sound lame af
Is exsctly the thing that makes only you stands cu*m on Your Trump beds
Homeboys never had a real job in his life.
Mr birchum with superheroes. Still shit
But Matt Walsh is also a dreg.
It's Daily Wire. Cringe is basically a requirement.
I saw a little bias on this analysis Lauren, you are obviouslly not very happy with the DW nowadays and I think this coloured a little your judgment of this. Not defending it, to be honest I did not watched it and was not convinced by the publicity, but there are points on your argument that I find a little strange. For example, for good or for bad, being fair or unfair, Candence Owens was not fired from the DW because she was "canceled", she "said something people didn't like", as it happens on left wing companies. She was fired because she fought one of the company owners, Ben Shapiro. There were rumours of both of them having problems before the whole Israel x Palestine discussion, and with it's arrival this tension between them multiplied. Is Ben Shapiro right? I don't know, I am not aware of all that happened between them. Was her dismissal unfair? Again, no idea, I don't know what was on her contract with them and all that happened behind the cameras. Whas the "gag order" fair? In view of Ben Shapiro saying on the past that he is in favor of unconstrained debate, I find it hipocritical, no doubt, but again I don't know the exact terms of their request for the "gag order" or the reason they gave for it.
A lot of people sided with Candace on this, including you Lauren, what is perfectly acceptable and your right to do, and I like Candace too, I followed her chanels and videos way before she was hired by the DW, but it looks to me that we are forgetting, on this case, what we criticize the left of doing on several other cases: wait for the facts, to know exactly what happened and why.
Other point where I found a little bit of bias was on the criticism that the things treated on the animation were things that were not current issues, and to ilustrate that you cited the use of the term 'cringe', the use of "personal pronouns" and asking for forgiveness for being a white male. Those are not points of intense discussion nowadays? What are the safe spaces on colleges and schools? Are not spaces where people will not be "triggered", will not "cringe"? Do you know of any left wing topic with more "inflencers" than pronoums and other "trans topics" on Tik Tok? And is there any other group of people more vilanized nowadays than "white males"? Those look like current hot topics to me.
As I said, I did not watched the animation and do not intend to watch it, because the style of humour in it is not one that really makes me laugh (I never followed South Park, Family Guy, American Dad or The Simpsons for the same reason), and I fully agree with some of the points you made, I just think it would be a better analysis if you had taken a little more time to "filter out" your bias. Thank you anyways for the effort of watching those things and giving us the chance to have a better idea of what is what before we commit our time.
This seems like Velma style writing, just on the opposite end of the spectrum.
"Mr. Birchum" is the perfect evidence that conservatives need to learn more about film and tv.
Seems like a normal sitcom, they could have done it with live action.
It looks like the most boomer tier neocon trash imaginable, exactly what you'd expect from the daily wire
The first two episodes were def facepalm, but I just watched the third episode and got some good laughs. The jokes were better and the flow was tighter, hopefully that trend will continue on the next one. I'll keep giving it a chance, after all Parks and Rec didn't find its stride til the second season but was comedy gold after that
Humor is very subjective and personal but I definitely the get the sense people have it out for this show and are trying to sabotage it as revenge for Candace.
It looks like a more shittier version of Brickleberry.
One final post and then I'm unsubscribing because I'm not in line with Lauren Chen's views anymore.
The online community is in danger of so much isolation within its own online community that they don't recognize but the majority of people out there see feel and think. Most people do not spend their time on CZcams Twitter Facebook and other social media platforms doing politics 24 hours a day. We do. That makes us insulated and isolated from what's going on in the rest of the world. The rest of the country isn't involved in our online community. They are aware of it but they're not living it. I see lots of examples of this. The whole Christ is King controversy is not taking place in rural America. It's not taking place at all. The whole Christian nationalism is taking over is not a subject that anybody's talking about in the real world. Just the online community. The whole dismissal of this show as so yesterday's humor is not happening out there especially in the older generations which still vote in massive numbers whether you like them or not. I find the online community to be isolated to be in their own bubble of opinions thoughts and ideas that don't match with the American people anymore. The American people are still seeing the effects of what started 10 years ago with a white hatred, the hatred of men, The favoritism of browns, the woke idiocy and yes how they're always triggered. You may think it's "yesterday's news" because you do it everyday but it's not for most people. It's still very relevant. I would urge people who use online communities as the basis for their opinions to realize you were in a bubble yourself. You may think the show is outdated it's so yesterday but it's not for all people. It's still very relevant.
Get out of your bubbles.
The DW is fine with being offensive to anyone... But the Chosen People.
True 😂
Trump agrees with the DW reagarding Israel
@@michaelbaucom4019that's how you know he's just controlled opposition.
@@michaelbaucom4019 Maybe he is.
But people don't vote for Trump because of Israel. They vote for Trump because he's the only one looking to reduce illegal immigration.
It's not a very rightwing view to go around chanting "I stand with Palestine!"
@@stinkfinga4918 Trump is controlled opposition?! ROFLMAO, the Deep State doesn't try to throw controlled opposition in jail.
BTW, what are the Democrats paying these days? Asking for a friend...
As much as I support DW in their ventures to create entertainment, I could never even make it through 10 seconds of their promos of this show. One, I hate "adult" animation in general. Animation doesn't have to be childish and ugly to be for adults. Two, it's cringe. I know that without watching it. Comedy is extremely, extremely difficult to do well and for some reason DW keeps defaulting to that genre.
In this woke craze society we have now, I think it is a gold mine for comedic ideas. I am surprised Key and Peele isn't capitalizing on this. Some CZcamsrs and South Park are making content from it. Even watching the SNL skit of getting rid of Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima had me laughing because I too was wondering why the hell they were removed. Even the Wayne's could make a movie like Scary movie or Epic Movie using all the woke movies that bomb. I would be laughing if the little mermaid was beautiful from far away, but turns into a Samuel Jackson look alike booty warrior, with a red wig that is after the prince's cheeks.
