Trust me, coming from ResetEra to here is a very welcome change. I think most people just don't care enough to read fully and insinuate context.
Why is it a bullshit reach?Oh, we get the “Conan is a hypocrite” point quite fine, we are just pointing out its a bullshit reach but hey, “outrage culture” away.
Why is it a bullshit reach?
Is this a real thread?
OP, what the hell are you on about?
Who is calling you alt-right?Thank you for being the one to see what i had meant.
I thought neogaf had changed butobviously not. Im tired of being called alt right or whatever. Ciao gaf, i will see myself out
Why is it a bullshit reach?
This was a bit he did a decade ago. He insulted every country on the planet. If you're bitter over this, please write him a letter - I'm sure he'd love to hear from you.
It's a comedy sketch where part of the joke is that Conan is being an ass. The thing you're comparing it to is a President being racist.
OH, I just finished the video and he referenced getting mail. I think that it was part of an attempt to get hate mail from every country.
He also "shittalks" Ireland...his name is O'brian...
He's a comedian.
"look many years ago conan make comedy video hypocrit libtuck, keke he virtuwe signal soiboi magagagagaga"
I feel like that's what OP really wanted to say. maybe, idk
haha I remember seeing bits of this back on his old show. Glad someone compiled it all, some of them are hilarious.
And if you find this offensive then comedy isn't for you.
Found a video of Conan being verbally abusive toward his employees. He comes off as a complete bully and jerk. It's time he's held accountable for his behavior.
These are great, lolIt was:

Although the list isn’t comprehensive, it’s missing a few of the countries starting with A.
She left the boards already it seems, but to answer your question you need to look no further than page 1 of this thread. Took literally 2 seconds with a text search in my browser:Who is calling you alt-right?
Seems the alt right are mad at team coco, guess OP is part of that. SAD
Ok I’ll give you that 1 poster called her alt-right.. STOP THE DOG PILING!!She left the boards already it seems, but to answer your question you need to look no further than page 1 of this thread. Took literally 2 seconds with a text search in my browser:
Well, you asked who said alt-right, you got an answer. Not my problem if you don't like the answerOk I’ll give you that 1 poster called her alt-right..
¯\_(ツ)_/¯Why are people so sensitive?
True there was some over reactions in the other direction too..Well, you asked who said alt-right, you got an answer. Not my problem if you don't like the answer
OP was taking a joke out of context and throwing toys out of the pram, but is that really reason enough for silly namecalling or "Trumpanzee"? There is a difference between challenging an opinion and simply being rude. What's wrong with a simple "I don't see any problems here"? (as a number of people did indeed write)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't know, I am still bewildered why so many replies were overly hostile. Given, I also still don't understand what's so bad about the joke on Haiti the OP was pointing towards. Storm in a teacup I guess?
This thread is a perfect example of what I find frustrating when debating Trump supporters. The minute they encounter resistance to their opinions, they complain about being dogpiled or make stuff up about being called racist. It seems there is never any introspection as to why they are feeling dogpiled. Maybe it’s because you might have said something absurd? For example, I think it is fair to say that sometimes Trump gets shit on for mundane things. However, it is absurd to try to do so by bringing up a comedy bit as a counterpoint to a president calling other countries shitholes.
That’s why this thread backfired. But OP will not bother trying to figure out what he did wrong. He’ll just complain about “the left” or how “gaf hasn’t changed” despite the distinct shift in tone on this forum for the better, having learned absolutely nothing. This is my frustration with “debates” on this forum. People on both sides need to be willing to learn something and admit that maybe they have shitty opinions that need to change.
I support Trump. Did you know that in 1999 the Senate voted to acquit President Clinton on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice?I would agree with this but there is literally nothing I can learn from your average trump supporter lol.
This is not a good comment to be honest. It’s not like Trump supporters just support Trump and that’s all they do. At the very least, I’d think there are some selection pressures that make the ones on this forum worth engaging.I would agree with this but there is literally nothing I can learn from your average trump supporter lol.
Milkshake Duck confirmed!!!
Mind you I haven't done background on this whole bit, but purely on context clues throughout the vid it looks like a very tongue-in-cheek comedy bit prompted by the network refusing to tell them their audience metrics broken down by country, so they made inflammatory comments to every country on the planet and encouraged everyone outraged by them around the world to send them hate mail over it...which sounds like brilliant, subversive trolling of the corporate overlords of the time to get the metrics they asked for indirectly.

....There you just learned something from a Trump supporter. Did your mind explode into a billion pieces or was your hyperbole just another shallow dis of people you don't politically agree with? THIS is the problem, grouping everyone into little clubs and judging them ALL based on what group they are in.
What OP is doing is basically holding Conan to the standard that Conan held Trump to. This clip is taken out of context to show him being (if you are lacking integrity) racially insensitive. What Conan did was take a behind-the-doors comment, lacking all non-verbal nuance, lacking all contextual nuance, about an issue that is ridiculously hard to discuss (if a nation is a shithole, are the people and their underlying races fundamentally shit? why do nation's become shit?). This is a discussion that can be extremely hard to grasp and discuss, because the reason's that nation's can become troubled are vast/come from every direction/are complex. Most of them have nothing to do with race. If you hold Conan to the standard that he held Trump to and were willing to write his language into the worst possible form, he'd be clearly racist from this clip.
I love Conan, I think he's hilarious. He dove so far off the deep-end with this stupid fucking Haiti shtick that he deserves to be hung up a bit
A Trump supporter... who calls people out on hyperbole. Classic.I support Trump. Did you know that in 1999 the Senate voted to acquit President Clinton on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice?

One is the President of the Free World, the other has a show on basic cable, canf really compare those standards as has been mentioned a few times in the thread. Trump’s gaffe was the fact that
1)Unlike the Nixon tapes he said it in a room full of politicians
2)He’s got a history of being tone deaf even if you believe in a big liberal deep state conspiracy
3)Like you said its complex, so perhaps its a time to break out the SAT words and ‘compassionate conservatism’ instead of calling suffering third world counties shitholes.
The whole, “OUT OF CONTEXT” shit doesnt work when you’re president, its not a job where they grade on a curve. He fucked up, he gets called out for it. I don’t understand the sympathy for someone who’s been a defacro PR person his own life for his brand particularly where even before this hypernews cycle president’s conversations were always heavily scrutinized because he’s the most important person on the planet. He can push to not have their immigrants come over without calling them a fucking shithole, come on
Trump supporters say exactly the same thing about "the other", claiming they immediately hide behind straw men and hurt feelings and make stuff up about everyone being racist. It seems there is never any introspection as to why they see resistance. It's almost as if they usually just discuss their ideas with like-minded folks within their own echo chamber, and the minute they talk to someone with an opposing view they simply can't handle it. Just listening to the arguments from the other side already equates to defeat. There can be no quarter given, concessions to any opposing worldview is pretty much treason. Sounds familiar?This thread is a perfect example of what I find frustrating when debating Trump supporters. The minute they encounter resistance to their opinions, they complain about being dogpiled or make stuff up about being called racist. It seems there is never any introspection as to why they are feeling dogpiled.
