The final balloting for nude scene of the year
SIDEBAR: Is Mikey Madison hot? Drunken Stepfather says no. (I can never tell whether he’s trolling or serious. It’s like listening to Jim Rome when nobody is calling in and he needs somebody to argue with. “I love Nazis, hate puppies. What’s your take?”)
Not yet captured: Fernanda Torres in I’m Still Here
A) Well, I think Mikey Madison is certainly hotter than I am, and that is the only comparison I feel qualified to make.
B) How does this Jim Rome fellow feel about Nazi puppies? I think that would be a more original subject. It would first require what constitutes a Nazi puppy, which would be interesting all in itself.
Mikey Madison gives me … feelings. Feelings of a “Wow, she’s hot” way, but perhaps in a pastel palette or a minor key sort of way.

“I can never tell whether he’s trolling or serious”
Easy. Always trolling. The Alex Jones of the cleb world.

You don’t think he actually believes anything he says?
who gives a shit?
pretending to be a misogynistic douchebag or actually being one, what’s the difference if its indistinguishable?
Well, I think there’s a difference between Donald Trump and Sebastian Stan.
And I suppose there’s a difference between being Hitler and pretending to be Hitler in a film …
… the difference being that most actors are far worse human beings than Hitler.
Kidding and trolling aside, I think people often use false identities for humor. I don’t believe Anthony Jeselnick and Jimmy Carr really believe the horrible things they say, for example. I think Drunken Stepfather’s fans think he, too, is very funny in a sick, dark Jeselnick way. (Many have said so in the comments on this site.)
As for me, I honestly don’t know whether he believes the things he writes.
The difference is Stan takes off the wig when the part is finished shooting. I think someone who plays a character constantly for years eventually just becomes that person. Kind of like in politics sometimes they have to play a role and eventually start believing their own bullshit.
So you think Anthony Jeselnick and Jimmy Carr have just become the twisted characters they play?
I think the difference is that both Carr and Jeselnick have made it very clear, in interviews and other contexts, that they don’t believe their own jokes. Especially Carr, who doesn’t always stay in character between the jokes in his own shows.
The other difference is that both Carr and Jeselnick are funny and have well crafted jokes. DSF, if he is joking, doesn’t have the craft.
Two things:
1. Your first “difference” is an assumption. You have no idea what DS is like when he’s “off camera.” That’s what prompted the thread in the first place – I have no idea whether he believes his own jokes.
2. A lot of people think DS is hilarious, and have said so in the comments on this page.
3. But even if he isn’t that funny, the same rules apply to him as to greater talents. If not, then you’re criticizing his talent, not his subject matter. I don’t think I’m willing to subscribe to a philosophy that says “Dave Chappelle can cover darker subjects than Carlos Mencia because he’s a lot funnier.” If that were true, Colin Quinn would be restricted purely to g-rated knock-knock jokes.
(And by the way, kinda off-topic, I think Chappelle really does believe his own jokes.)
Scoop, I think you might be misreading the room re the feelings about the general hilarity of DS around here. But it is your room to read, and generally a very good one at that.
Opinions about him are sharply divided. Nobody is neutral.
Here is a sample:
Scoop:
1. My first difference wasn’t about what he believes, it’s about whether he ever made public statements about what he believes. You’re right that I’m assuming that because I wasn’t able to find evidence of him saying something, he hasn’t. But you seem to agree that it’s impossible to know what he thinks – it’s not impossible to know what Carr or Jeselnik think, or at least what they claim to think, and it’s not what they say in their jokes.
2. As for my point about him being funny, of course I was both being subjective and criticisng his talent. I don’t have a problem with his subject matter per se. I just don’t enjoy his take on it, at all.
I’ll also say that I don’t have a problem at all with you linking to him or discussing him. It’s your blog. I’m just not going to pretend I think there’s any value to any of his writing.
1. Right. Since we don’t know what he thinks, there’s no basis for criticizing his thoughts. I have always assumed that “Drunken Stepfather” is a character, and Bill Jones (or whatever his real name is) has different opinions, just as I assume that Sebastian Stan’s opinions are not Donald Trump’s.
2. I find an occasional post of his funny. I also find that he says the same things over and over again, which means my eyes basically glaze over when I see his remarks, and I just look at the pics. On the Allen scale, I’d say he’s not as funny as Gracie, Steve, Fred or early Woody, but is funnier than Tim and Marty. On the Marx scale, he beats Zeppo and Karl, but is not as funny as Groucho, Chico or the model trains. Harpo is debatable.
Personally, I believe it’s both – he believes it, and he is trolling.
He’s right about the movie, wrong about Mikey.
