Not 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 4: to be confused with the twenty twenty two low budget 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 4: movie The New Norm. This is a new animated project 22 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 4: from the great minds over at Dave Rubin Incorporated. Yeah, 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 4: was so bad but also so insightful that I did 24 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 4: a whole bunch of drugs and wrote about two thousand 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 4: words about this project and uncovered some kind of shocking 26 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 4: things that we will slowly get into. I first will 27 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 4: just want to go over the mini pilot itself, because 28 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 4: right now the only thing that's out is like this 29 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 4: three minute or so little mini pilot, and we'll get 30 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 4: into why this is the only thing that's out right now. 31 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 4: But I first just want to do kind of like 32 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 4: a short play by play, and it will be short 33 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 4: because it's again it's only three minutes of what happens 34 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 4: in this new perspective animated sitcom that they want to 35 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 4: air on Twitter dot com now known as x SO. 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 4: I think the first thing you need to know about it, 37 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 4: you know, besides you know, the Dave rubeness of it all. 38 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 4: It looks like early two thousands flash animation, like really 39 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 4: bad early two thousands flash animation. It's not good. 40 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: It's not good. 41 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: None of the characters can like really express things, and 42 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: the perspective is always a little bit off. Yeah, it 43 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 2: looks like something like a moderately competent person could have 44 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: animated in this course of an afternoon if the people 45 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 2: paying them did not actually want anything that looked very good. 46 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 4: Well, and I think that is kind of what happened. 47 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 4: They posted one video showing the animating process, and it 48 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 4: does look like just one person did it in like 49 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 4: a day. So anyway, it starts with an older man 50 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 4: sitting in a living room chair scratching at an ankle monitor. 51 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 4: He reaches for a beer, only to find that it's 52 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 4: been woke afied with rainbow packaging. The man reacts in horror, 53 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: and his more liberal daughter remarks progress, it's the new norm, 54 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 4: and then a pandering a country music theme song plays, 55 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 4: which we will play for you later just because it's 56 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 4: so bad. 57 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: We're going to have to. 58 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: I want to start just because this is the first 59 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 2: shot of the episode and it was the first thing 60 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 2: in the episode that made me very angry. And it's 61 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: how small his feet are, like, especially if you're going 62 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: to have rob Lyfield. He's got the rob Lyfield feet. 63 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: And it's this is particularly a problem because the ankle 64 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: monitor doesn't look like it's going to be a one 65 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: off joke, because he doesn't just have an ankle monitor. 66 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: He has like an evil Amazon Alexa that looks a 67 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: little bit like it's but it's gotten some howl nine 68 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 2: thousand DNA in it that every time he says something 69 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: that's not woke enough, it it yells at him. 70 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: Right offensive? 71 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 4: Offensive? 72 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, the the the fantasy progressive government that is 73 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: in charge in his uh in this cartoon world has 74 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: forced him to wear an ankle monitor because he's not 75 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: woke enough. And so I'm guessing that's going to be 76 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: a recurrent bit. And if he has this sension, ankle 77 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: monitor is a recurrent bit. His feet shouldn't look like 78 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: the ankle monitor should always be falling off of them. 79 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: No, it's so loose. 80 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 2: It's so really bad animation, right, Like, I'm not even 81 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: saying that's a good bit, But if that's your bit, 82 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: you have to actually design the characters to sell the bit, 83 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,119 Speaker 2: as opposed to me constantly thinking how is that fucking 84 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: ankle monitor staying on his goddamn ankle anyway, whatever. 85 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 4: The character's not designed with the ankle monitor in mind. 86 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 4: That was a later edition, so definitely. After the theme song, 87 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 4: the man addresses the audience. He says, I'm the old norm. 88 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 4: I want normal beer. 89 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 3: God damn it. 90 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 4: I just want to point out this is like the 91 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: only character that gets an introduction. We don't really learned 92 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: almost anyone else's names except for one other character, which 93 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 4: is just great, great for like a pilot. Anyway, So 94 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 4: he steps towards his front door and the ankle monitor 95 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 4: starts beeping. He blames his liberal daughter for being put 96 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 4: on house arrest for quote unquote threatening the school board, 97 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: which he says he did because the school was quote 98 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 4: brainwashing kids into thinking girl aren't girls and men aren't men. 99 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 4: His daughter says, sometimes they're neither or both, or dressed 100 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 4: like dogs. Anyway. His wife comes home. 101 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, there's a real furry obsession in this show. 102 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 2: I guess we'll talk about that later too. 103 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 4: Because this was birth years ago. This is not like 104 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 4: a modern current take on wokeism. But his wife comes 105 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: home and with her is someone wearing a COVID mask 106 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 4: sporting a pink mohawk. And here I'm going to play 107 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 4: our first clip. 108 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 3: What's that warning? 109 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 5: Actually, that is one of my pronouns. Also, they them 110 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 5: and me? 111 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: Your non binary? How do you know that word? 112 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 5: I learned it in school. 113 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: That's why I'm locked up. 114 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,239 Speaker 4: Nor the judge agreed to conditional parole? 115 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 3: What condition? Where is my room? That's saying? Here? 116 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 4: Chaz is part of the new government program. 117 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 5: To re educate homophobic, transphobic, racist Charlie. 118 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: Finally someone normal. I don't understand you're black? Did that 119 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: just black whisper? You're his friend and boss. 120 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 4: So something that isn't fully conveyed just through the sound 121 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 4: is that when the daughter finds out that this new 122 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 4: person is non binary, she gets like big, big, like 123 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 4: lovey eyes. 124 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 3: Yeah. 125 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 4: And the black boss character, he is played by failed 126 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 4: politician Larry Elder, and he. 127 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's Larry Elder. Yes, Oh that's funny, 128 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: that's so funny. 129 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: He's just there to show that black people like norm right, yes, exactly, 130 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: that the progressives actually are racist for not liking Norm 131 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 2: because the only black person they're going to put in this. 132 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 3: Show thinks that he's rad. 133 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 2: It's just a normal thing that you do if you're 134 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: a right wing hack making a a low budget cartoon. 135 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: He is wearing, by the way, a Washington Redskins hat 136 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: and shirt, and his shirt discontinued four years ago. Yeah, 137 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: and his first his opening line in the show is 138 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: him coming in and saying, I come over here to 139 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: escape woke. 140 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 4: Yes. 141 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. One thing I do think is interesting. 142 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: Is that both this character because Larry Elder makes a 143 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: note that like his son is about to transition and 144 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: is at least non binary. They don't really know what 145 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: any of this means, so a little bit of the 146 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: script is unclear as to what these kids actually how 147 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: they identify. And obviously Norm's daughter is I don't know 148 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: if she's non binary or just like into a like 149 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: generally queer, but like. 150 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: That is the impression you're left with. 151 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: And again, if you actually were someone who was kind 152 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: of conservative, conservative sympathetic, like Mike Judge making like a cartoon, 153 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: you can actually get some mileage out of the accepting 154 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: the idea that like, Okay, you've got these curmudgeonly older people, 155 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: and you've got their kids who are like way more 156 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: open about this kind of stuff, and there's there's there's 157 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: room for plots as King of the Hill did pretty 158 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: well that kind of lampoon the culture in general, but 159 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: it requires a little more self awareness. Like again, if 160 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: there was a little bit you might wonder, like, what 161 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: are we saying if we're the people making this right 162 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: wing piece of propaganda that all of the young people 163 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: feel very differently about gender than their parents. 164 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's why Norm keeps saying I'm the old Norm. 165 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 4: I want to year And the show is called The 166 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 4: New Norm, not to be confused with the nineteen ninety 167 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 4: nine ABC sympcom storing Norm MacDonald called it the Norm Shows. 168 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 4: It's literally right, it's literally in the name. It's about 169 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 4: you know how these people cannot cannot accept that times change, 170 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 4: and they slowly get outdated social beliefs.

But Chaz 222 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: is not straight edge. Chas is just saying I cannot 223 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 2: legally drink beer. 224 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 4: Which right, no gay person has ever said, which nogay, 225 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 4: But it like the fact that unless they're straight edge. Yeah. 226 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 2: Larry Elder then comes in and says like, oh, this 227 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: is a characteristic but it wasn't like a characteristic of 228 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 2: you queer gen Z kids. But the queer gen Z 229 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 2: kid did not express that as like a characteristic of 230 00:11:59,240 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 2: his identity. 231 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 3: Who's just stating this is. 232 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 4: Illegal because it's illegal?

Anyway, anyway, when 233 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 4: Chaz is conference calling with this this upper level government 234 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 4: we have, we have this general in like a in 235 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 4: like a kink dog mask who barks, and there's a 236 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 4: trans woman admiral who says, find a way to break him, 237 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 4: maybe we can fix the country. I believe the admiral 238 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 4: is a really transphobic character of US Assistant Secretary for Health, 239 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 4: Rachel Levine. And yeah, it's not even a good character. 240 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 4: It's just it's just doesn't look there is there. There's 241 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 4: also another another character which Robert identified as a possible 242 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 4: hate crime and and tasked me with locating who this 243 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 4: person is. And I believe with about one hundred percent 244 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 4: certainty that this is a character of Sam Brinton, who 245 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 4: was appointed the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and 246 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 4: Waste Disposition in the Office Nuclear Energy.

One 254 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 4: of the funniest things that's ever happened. This person could 255 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 4: not stop stealing luggage from airports so much that they 256 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 4: got fired from the Department of Energy. 257 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 3: That's amazing. 258 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 4: This this goes back to like twenty eighteen years.

This 336 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 4: reply was just so bad I had to pointed out 337 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 4: just incredible. 338 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 339 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 4: Now, Dave Rubin, the possible alleged potential most likely creator 340 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 4: of the show, does air his work on Blaze TV. 341 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 4: You know by by Glenn Beck, and even even other 342 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 4: Glenn Beck employees could not could not help but point 343 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 4: out how terrible this is. 344 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 3: Uh. 345 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: Logan Hall, writer for Glenn Beck's The Blaze wrote, quote, 346 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 4: TV shows on leftism the cringiest, most unwatchable, nauseating trash 347 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 4: ever created TV shows on conservatism somehow even worse and 348 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 4: one of the most brain poisoned Conservative cartoonists George Acxipolos 349 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 4: basically like a discount stone Toss wrote quote south Park 350 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 4: head ed, this has as much edge as an uncooked 351 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 4: sour dough. Between this and the Daily Wires limp cartoon, 352 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 4: they may as well be flushing money down the toilet. 353 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 4: He then went on to say, give me a small team, 354 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 4: a million dollars and total creative control, and we will 355 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 4: make a cartoon pilot that will melt faces. So again 356 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 4: he just wants to take to get his own his 357 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 4: own TV show, But a whole bunch of these, you know, 358 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 4: kind of right wing cultural critics were we're not we're 359 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 4: not infused with this, with this outing because it's because 360 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 4: it's really bad. So I want to get into kind 361 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 4: of who is behind this now the full I hesitate 362 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 4: to say creative team, but the people team, Yeah, the 363 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 4: team behind the New Norm show, not to be confused 364 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 4: with the Fox two season documentary show The New Norm 365 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 4: Have been have been largely kept secret, possibly out of 366 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 4: fears of humiliation. 367 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how you know it's a good show. 368 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 4: But we at least do know some of the voice cast. Right, 369 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 4: Larry Elder plays the token black conservative who only exists 370 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 4: to affirm that the main character isn't actually racist. Now, 371 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 4: I doubt Larry Elder has much involvement beyond lending his 372 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 4: voice and the other two confirmed voice Again, I hesitate 373 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 4: to use the word talent or even actor, but the 374 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 4: other two voice contributors are Dave Rubin and jpc Now, 375 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 4: I believe these two could be much more critical to 376 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 4: like what makes up the comedy of the New Norm Show, 377 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 4: not to be confused with the Oatly Oat Milk series 378 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 4: of online puppet shorts titled The New Norm Anal Show. Now, 379 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 4: I assume most people listening to this are familiar with 380 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 4: Dave Rubin. Like many of these right wing influencers, he's 381 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 4: a failed comedian turned political podcaster who's been positioning himself 382 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 4: further and further to the right over the course of 383 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 4: the last decade. 384 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 2: Now. 385 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 4: JP Sears was a quote unquote holistic life coach who 386 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 4: turned kind of into like a YouTube skeptic type satirical comedian, 387 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 4: and while trying to parody new age WU and conspiracy theories, 388 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 4: JP was peddling his own pseudoscience and adopting more and 389 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 4: more conspiratorial beliefs. Over time, JP and his comedy began 390 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 4: moving further and further to the right. But the COVID 391 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 4: nineteen lockdown was kind of the breaking point where he 392 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 4: went all in on anti VAXX, COVID nineteen and January 393 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 4: sixth conspiracy theories. But I think there has to be 394 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 4: at least one other contributor, you know, behind like the 395 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 4: art and design of the show, and I can't I 396 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 4: can't figure out who that is. I scrolled through all 397 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 4: of the tweets to try to find out if this 398 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 4: account had another name. I can't find out who exactly 399 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 4: this other person is. There is there is one mystery, 400 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 4: one mystery component. But one interesting thing I did uncover 401 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 4: is that the New Norm show, not to be confused 402 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 4: with the twenty twelve TV show, The New Normal has 403 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 4: been in production in some form for over four years. 404 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 4: They've been working on this for over four years. There's 405 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 4: one frame from a video titled Character Sketch Evolutions posted 406 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 4: on September nineteenth of last year, and this show's project 407 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 4: files stretching all the way back to January of twenty twenty. 408 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 4: They've been working on this since January twenty twenty. Early 409 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 4: sketches of the daughter feature and Antifa and transgender tattoo 410 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 4: on her left arm. Also, she has a kefia and 411 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 4: posters that read vegans for Palestine, all in twenty twenty artwork. 412 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 4: Wow yeah, yeaow. That's kind of fascinating because the daughter 413 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 4: character in the published pilot is just wearing like a 414 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 4: hoodie and like a beanie. There's there's none of. 415 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 2: These act like some bracelets that have like a there's 416 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 2: at least one of her bracelets has a rainbow on it, 417 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 2: which I think is the only queer signaling or like 418 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,239 Speaker 2: kind of it really signaling of any kind that we get. 419 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: And she has an Apple watch because lo ol gen z. 420 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 2: But yeah, the otherwise her design is completely boring, like 421 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 2: there's nothing going on. 422 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 4: And I found this other, this other thing that is 423 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 4: maybe a little bit you know, behind the scenes, look 424 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 4: at what this may have been. So last March, this 425 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 4: account posted a little comic strip saying, all, look at 426 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 4: how it began as a comic strip so possibly this 427 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 4: may have originated as not being an animated series but 428 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 4: instead an online webcomic, which might explain a few things. 429 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 4: And also that I assume the mystery contributor that we 430 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 4: don't know probably was working on the webcomic, and then 431 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 4: it kind of rope in and more people in the series. 432 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 4: But I am going to read out this webcomic just 433 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 4: because it is fascinatingly bad. 434 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 3: Oh my god, Oh my god. 435 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 4: Norm says, for twenty years our address was seven Columbus Ave. 436 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 4: Now it's Colin Kaepernick Drive. That's his daughter saying that, 437 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 4: and everyone thinks I feel so. The mom says fancy, 438 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 4: the daughter says woke, and Norm says sick. And then 439 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 4: a whole bunch of news crews show up at Norm's 440 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 4: front door. They say, what's it like to live in 441 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 4: the most woke address in town? And Norman says, I 442 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 4: refuse to call it, Callin Kaepernick Drive. It's Columbus Ave. 443 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 4: The news media says, any last words before the angry 444 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 4: mob shows up. Should we call a fire department for you? 445 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 4: And Norm says, I thought you snowflakes defunded them too. 446 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 3: It's not even a no. 447 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 4: No one was talking about defunding the fire department not 448 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 4: true anyway. 449 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: It's it's like it's just not even a joke, right, 450 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 2: like the there's not like a release of tensionarying with 451 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 2: like the the end bit being like him saying, why 452 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 2: would we call the fire department you defunded that it's 453 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: not it's like it's not a joke. 454 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 4: No, Like the last series of panels are even more disconnected. Yeah, 455 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 4: they are back inside. The doors closed. Norman says Chloe, 456 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 4: which I guess is his daughter's name, never said in 457 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 4: the pilot, Chloe. Why must your generation change everything? And 458 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 4: then the doorbell rings delivery. The mom answers the door 459 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 4: and says, sorry, wrong address. This is now Colin Kaepernick Drive. 460 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 4: Ben Affleck Boulevard is two streets down where James Woods 461 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 4: Parkway used to be. My god, that's what that even 462 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 4: that is that even do you really like is it? 463 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 4: They were okay James would get fallen. They replaced it 464 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 4: with ben Affleck Boulevard. 465 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: If you could, if you were someone who was like 466 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 2: kind of conservative but not completely brain poisoned, you could 467 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: actually get some good bits out of Like they changed 468 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 2: the name of this street from Columbus avenue to Colin 469 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: kaepern to drive. Now, the smart way to play off 470 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 2: of that would be to make it very clear that 471 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: the town has a bunch of existing issues with inequality 472 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 2: and racism that they have not dealt with in lieu 473 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 2: of changing the name of a single street and pretending 474 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 2: things are better. And you can actually like there's things 475 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: you could do with that were you actually making comedy. 476 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: But like the fact that they the fact that the 477 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 2: escalation is rather than sort of like examining this world 478 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: and like why shit like this gets done just to 479 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 2: kind of like make these like performative gestures instead, it's like, 480 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 2: and next they're going to replace James Woods with Ben Affleck, 481 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: which very good? Do the gen Z kids do the 482 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 2: progressives like Ben Affleck? Does anyone feel all that strongly 483 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 2: about ben Affleck? 484 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 4: No, we had to start naving streets after ben Affleck. Also, 485 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 4: why would there be a James Woods park Way anyway? Whatever? 486 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, who's naming a street after name a thing James 487 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 3: Woods has been. 488 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 4: In Like, oh my god. So the marketing of this 489 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 4: pilot is even is almost as baffling as the pilot itself. Right, 490 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 4: there's a few slogans they like to use, first of all, 491 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 4: the South Park of X, which is already just brilliant. 492 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 4: It's hard legalize humor, very very funny, and make America 493 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 4: funny again. They will often just tweet these phrases out 494 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 4: with no context, and sure, why not.

He doesn't. No, do you? Of course, because 546 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 4: underneath the text that says end quotes brilliant, it says 547 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 4: brilliant Bill Maher, HBO Real Time Host, And then in 548 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 4: much smaller text, it says, speaking of the show creator's 549 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 4: previous work featured on HBO, he's just talking about Dave 550 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 4: Rubin being interviewed on his show. At some point Bill 551 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 4: Maher said brilliant to Dave Rubin, And now they're using 552 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 4: this as a quote endorsing this show. 553 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 3: Man. 554 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 2: I kind of I feel, like, so fifteen years or 555 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 2: so ago, back when he was still alive, Roger Ebert 556 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: shared one of my articles that I wrote for Cracked, 557 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: and I kind of want to take his feedback on 558 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 2: that and claim that, like like dressing up his feedback 559 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 2: for our podcast, Roger Ebert loves this show that was 560 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 2: made ten years after he died. Well he doesn't, but 561 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 2: he said something nice about something else I did a 562 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: long time ago, so I think he would support. 563 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 4: Show creator's previous work. Amazing. And I we will return 564 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 4: to the Kevin Sorbo quote about All in the Family 565 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 4: for our time. Yes again, Like this isn't even just 566 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 4: a parody of like All in the Family. They're they're 567 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 4: taking certain they're they're taking certain elements, but but not 568 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 4: like actually satirizing them. They're just kind of doing them again. 569 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 4: And do you know what we're gonna do again. 570 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 3: Robert, good ads. 571 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 4: We're gonna we arena, we are gonna go to ad. 572 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,719 Speaker 2: We're going We're going to transition, which the people who 573 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 2: make this show would really hate. 574 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 4: Okay, we are back. I have a few images from 575 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 4: the from the marketing of this that you're gonna love. 576 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 3: Robert. 577 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 4: Back in September, the New Norm shows, Twitter posted this 578 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 4: picture It's a very bad. 579 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 3: Cardome, Mike God, Ben. 580 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 4: Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and Joe Rogan. 581 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 3: What are these? 582 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 4: It has one like and textra says, who who is 583 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 4: your Favett a small they made Bit Shapiro and Joe rokan. 584 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 2: Oh. 585 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 4: And there is another another image of norm the titular 586 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 4: character saying thank you Chaya, Rycheck and Elon Musk for 587 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 4: the freedom to say amen. Now that the word amen 588 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 4: was undemonetized. So most of their marketing kind of look 589 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 4: kind of looks like this. It's just it's talking about 590 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 4: other more popular right wing content creators or just praising 591 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 4: Elon Musk. That is most of the marketing for the show. 592 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 4: It seems their primary marketing strategy seems to be sucking 593 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 4: up to Elon Musk to attract attention from him and 594 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 4: his fan base. Now I haven't seen anyone else talking 595 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 4: about this yet, but the New Norm Show, not to 596 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 4: be confused with the New Norm McDonald Show, actually released 597 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 4: their first video project last March. It was titled Elon 598 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 4: Musk xaoc AI Animation unquote what, with show creator Dave 599 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 4: Rubin saying the future of animation is AI. The video 600 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 4: starts with an AI image of Elon Musk in a 601 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 4: black suit, with voiceover of norm A dressing Musk saying, Hey, Elon, 602 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 4: check this out. We cut to a congressional deposition where 603 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 4: AOC is questioning Elon Musk, who's wearing a spacesuit about him, 604 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 4: replying quote unquote true to a meme posted by Norm 605 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 4: saying that AOC is hot but not smart, mister Musk. 606 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 4: There's a slow motion love heart sequence of Elon and 607 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 4: AOC staring at each other, and Elon says, I have 608 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 4: a hands on approach to the world's population crisis. You'll 609 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 4: never get your hands on me. 610 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 3: I'm boycotting you. 611 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 4: Then go yourself. 612 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 3: God, he looks like a cherub in that spacesuit. 613 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 5: What is so? 614 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, here's here's Ai Norm and Ai Elon Musk sitting 615 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 4: in this courtroom. Now. Norm says that it's because of 616 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 4: Elon's reply quote that millions of people saw my post. 617 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 4: So in this, in this like little to no effort. 618 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 4: Ai short. They straight up layout their intentions behind all 619 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 4: of this clamoring for Musk's attention and approval. Right. Their 620 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 4: goal is that if Elon Musk can see their stuff, 621 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 4: maybe he'll spread it and it will be popular. That's 622 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 4: the intention. 623 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 3: A nine year old boy, Oh yeah. 624 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 4: He does. He does look like like cherub. Elon Musk 625 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 4: absolutely yeah, But this is this is their entire strategy, right, 626 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 4: It's to make content that they hope Elon Musk will 627 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 4: see and then boost so that people will give them money. 628 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 4: That's that's the entirety of the bit. In the replies 629 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 4: to this AI short film, everyone who like expressed that 630 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 4: they liked it, saying like so funny or just like 631 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 4: a laugh emoji. The norm account replied to every single 632 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 4: one of these tweets with a thumbs up emoji. That's it, got, 633 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 4: That's that's it, like sometimes with a flaming thumbs up, 634 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 4: sometimes with a regular thumbs up emoji, but replying to 635 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 4: every single tweet, they just did a thumbs up. It's 636 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 4: so it's so lazy, like like. 637 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 3: Content goes out. 638 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 2: That's some intern who's getting paid by there in like 639 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 2: or if they're getting paid or whatever, however they're getting evaluated. 640 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 2: They want to be able to claim that they were 641 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 2: doing lots of work. So yeah, they're just going through 642 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 2: and thumbs uping every post. 643 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 3: That's my wild So. 644 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 4: This is all kind of reminiscent of The Daily Wire's 645 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 4: own animated comedy Mister Burcham. Right now, mister Burchram, we 646 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,439 Speaker 4: talked about in our in Our in Our Daily Wire, 647 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 4: episodes earlier this year, but it was it was pitched 648 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 4: to Fox, like over a decade ago. They even made 649 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 4: a ten minute animatic. Fox passed, and so did every 650 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 4: other network and streaming service also declined to pick up 651 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 4: the project until until it came across Jeremy Boring's desk 652 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 4: a few years ago. 653 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 2: And Jeremy Bowring said, Adam Carolla, that's who the kids 654 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 2: love these days. 655 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 4: So yeah, they they greenlit the show and it is 656 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 4: now airing on The Daily Wire Plus. But most of 657 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 4: the jokes are super outdated because again this was pitched 658 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 4: ten years ago, over ten years ago, so there's a 659 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 4: whole bunch just like Vegan jokes, Like it's jokes that 660 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 4: maybe would have been transgressive in twenty eleven. You know. 661 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 4: Of course, there's like there's like a few updated jokes 662 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 4: thrown in there, but like not many. So in terms 663 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 4: of the New Norm show, not to be confused with 664 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 4: the many other projects with the same title, only the 665 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 4: three minute pilot episode is out right now right, they 666 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 4: are soliciting more money and that's the main drive of 667 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 4: putting out this pilot is that they are spreading around 668 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 4: this donation link like crazy.

It has the parody of Archie from All 728 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 4: in the Family kind of being like offensive in an 729 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 4: old fashioned way, you know, bemoaning that he has to 730 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 4: be around all these people, but also saying that he 731 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 4: loves everyone in the way that these kind of shows 732 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 4: like to play both sides by showing the main character 733 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,800 Speaker 4: is still good nature despite his faults. And then he 734 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 4: flips again saying he's he's only come back to do 735 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 4: the show is he needs money. The bit doesn't overstay. 736 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 4: It's welcome it lasts only like ten seconds and yet 737 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 4: is infinitely more funny than the entirety of this three 738 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 4: minute pilot. And Dave Rubin actually thought he could just 739 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 4: rip off a short to obscure Simpson's joke and stretch 740 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 4: it into an entire show and no one would notice. 741 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 4: So I was really happy to find that this was 742 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 4: just stealing an old Simpson's joke really poorly too. And 743 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 4: because I've been watching more older Simpsons, I've also realized 744 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,839 Speaker 4: that a lot of the jokes and Lady ballers are 745 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 4: also just completely stolen from Simpsons, but ripped of the 746 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 4: context that makes them funny. So all of these like 747 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 4: right wing like cranks were trying to produce this comedy stuff. 748 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,720 Speaker 4: They're all just kind of going back to old Simpsons 749 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 4: jokes that people hopefully have like forgotten and are injecting 750 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 4: them without the actual humorous context into all of these 751 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 4: anti woke projects. And it doesn't work. It simply doesn't. 752 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 4: For one, it's plagiarizing and the second and like secondly, 753 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 4: it's it's just bad. But yes, I will, I will 754 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 4: post some of these comparison pictures on h on my 755 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 4: Twitter at Hungry bow Tie.
