I used to like him somewhat. But I put on one of those Netflix specials with him and tuned out around 10-15 minutes in because he was just unfunny and hateful. Same with the British bloke, who's name I forgot. He was pretty based when he called out the actors being friends with Epstein during the Oscars but the latest gig was just "haha, girl with a cock, hahahaha lol, man with tits". It's just not funny. If you make jokes about minorities, at least have them be funny and not hurtful. It can be done, just not like this.

Oh yeah, and also that other comedian I've forgotten the name of. What a dick.
