WEBVTT - The Latest Anti-Woke Comedy Series 0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:02.920 Also media. 0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:09.480 Oh yeah, that wasn't the opening of the podcast, okay, 0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:11.840 or unless it was. I guess it was because we 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:16.720 were recording Welcome to It could happen here, Harrison. I 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.920 had to open an episode about a terrible, terrible piece 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.919 of voice acting history with some horrible voice acting of 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:23.320 my own. 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:24.360 It was the only right way. 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.639 It's true, It's true, but there has been some really 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:31.520 bad voice acting going around lately. Yes, oh boy, So 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:33.960 do you know what we're going to talk about today, Robert. 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.519 We're going to talk about the South Park of X. 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:40.640 And I know what you're all wondering, what the fuck 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:43.959 is X? Did you guys? Is that a placeholder? Did 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.640 you like type in a placeholder because you forgot the 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:51.000 name of what this is? The South Park of or whatever? No, no, no, 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:52.440 we're talking about Twitter. 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:58.440 We are talking about the first animated sit slash calm 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:03.360 on X slash Twitter, titled The New Norm Show. Not 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.920 to be confused with the twenty twenty two low budget 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.320 movie The New Norm. This is a new animated project 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:15.480 from the great minds over at Dave Rubin Incorporated. Yeah, 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:20.360 was so bad but also so insightful that I did 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.880 a whole bunch of drugs and wrote about two thousand 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:28.520 words about this project and uncovered some kind of shocking 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.880 things that we will slowly get into. I first will 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.960 just want to go over the mini pilot itself, because 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.640 right now the only thing that's out is like this 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.200 three minute or so little mini pilot, and we'll get 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.199 into why this is the only thing that's out right now. 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.800 But I first just want to do kind of like 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.720 a short play by play, and it will be short 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:50.640 because it's again it's only three minutes of what happens 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:55.000 in this new perspective animated sitcom that they want to 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.960 air on Twitter dot com now known as x SO. 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.120 I think the first thing you need to know about it, 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.440 you know, besides you know, the Dave rubeness of it all. 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.360 It looks like early two thousands flash animation, like really 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:11.120 bad early two thousands flash animation. It's not good. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:12.600 It's not good. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.600 None of the characters can like really express things, and 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.960 the perspective is always a little bit off. Yeah, it 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.440 looks like something like a moderately competent person could have 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.760 animated in this course of an afternoon if the people 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.240 paying them did not actually want anything that looked very good. 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.360 Well, and I think that is kind of what happened. 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.040 They posted one video showing the animating process, and it 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.640 does look like just one person did it in like 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.239 a day. So anyway, it starts with an older man 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.320 sitting in a living room chair scratching at an ankle monitor. 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.680 He reaches for a beer, only to find that it's 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.440 been woke afied with rainbow packaging. The man reacts in horror, 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.880 and his more liberal daughter remarks progress, it's the new norm, 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.480 and then a pandering a country music theme song plays, 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.840 which we will play for you later just because it's 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:00.520 so bad. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:01.800 We're going to have to. 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:06.160 I want to start just because this is the first 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.359 shot of the episode and it was the first thing 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.679 in the episode that made me very angry. And it's 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.919 how small his feet are, like, especially if you're going 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:20.000 to have rob Lyfield. He's got the rob Lyfield feet. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.280 And it's this is particularly a problem because the ankle 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.440 monitor doesn't look like it's going to be a one 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.880 off joke, because he doesn't just have an ankle monitor. 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.400 He has like an evil Amazon Alexa that looks a 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.560 little bit like it's but it's gotten some howl nine 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.840 thousand DNA in it that every time he says something 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.160 that's not woke enough, it it yells at him. 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:41.360 Right offensive? 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:42.040 Offensive? 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:47.160 Yeah, Yeah, the the the fantasy progressive government that is 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.920 in charge in his uh in this cartoon world has 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.920 forced him to wear an ankle monitor because he's not 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.440 woke enough. And so I'm guessing that's going to be 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.240 a recurrent bit. And if he has this sension, ankle 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.320 monitor is a recurrent bit. His feet shouldn't look like 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.880 the ankle monitor should always be falling off of them. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:04.920 No, it's so loose. 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.839 It's so really bad animation, right, Like, I'm not even 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.040 saying that's a good bit, But if that's your bit, 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.760 you have to actually design the characters to sell the bit, 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.119 as opposed to me constantly thinking how is that fucking 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.159 ankle monitor staying on his goddamn ankle anyway, whatever. 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.760 The character's not designed with the ankle monitor in mind. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.000 That was a later edition, so definitely. After the theme song, 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.920 the man addresses the audience. He says, I'm the old norm. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:31.479 I want normal beer. 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:33.360 God damn it. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.400 I just want to point out this is like the 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:40.440 only character that gets an introduction. We don't really learned 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.200 almost anyone else's names except for one other character, which 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.719 is just great, great for like a pilot. Anyway, So 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.480 he steps towards his front door and the ankle monitor 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.839 starts beeping. He blames his liberal daughter for being put 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.880 on house arrest for quote unquote threatening the school board, 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.200 which he says he did because the school was quote 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.600 brainwashing kids into thinking girl aren't girls and men aren't men. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.240 His daughter says, sometimes they're neither or both, or dressed 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.880 like dogs. Anyway. His wife comes home. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:15.360 Oh god, yeah, there's a real furry obsession in this show. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.239 I guess we'll talk about that later too. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.359 Because this was birth years ago. This is not like 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:23.760 a modern current take on wokeism. But his wife comes 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.640 home and with her is someone wearing a COVID mask 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.840 sporting a pink mohawk. And here I'm going to play 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:30.560 our first clip. 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:33.880 What's that warning? 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:39.320 Actually, that is one of my pronouns. Also, they them 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:40.240 and me? 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.880 Your non binary? How do you know that word? 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:46.120 I learned it in school. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:47.880 That's why I'm locked up. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.239 Nor the judge agreed to conditional parole? 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:58.520 What condition? Where is my room? That's saying? Here? 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.960 Chaz is part of the new government program. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:07.200 To re educate homophobic, transphobic, racist Charlie. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:14.680 Finally someone normal. I don't understand you're black? Did that 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.880 just black whisper? You're his friend and boss. 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.559 So something that isn't fully conveyed just through the sound 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.760 is that when the daughter finds out that this new 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.240 person is non binary, she gets like big, big, like 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:28.000 lovey eyes. 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:29.159 Yeah. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:33.279 And the black boss character, he is played by failed 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.800 politician Larry Elder, and he. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:41.839 Oh my god, that's Larry Elder. Yes, Oh that's funny, 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.080 that's so funny. 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:48.960 He's just there to show that black people like norm right, yes, exactly, 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.600 that the progressives actually are racist for not liking Norm 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:54.880 because the only black person they're going to put in this. 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.240 Show thinks that he's rad. 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.600 It's just a normal thing that you do if you're 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.600 a right wing hack making a a low budget cartoon. 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.400 He is wearing, by the way, a Washington Redskins hat 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:10.400 and shirt, and his shirt discontinued four years ago. Yeah, 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.160 and his first his opening line in the show is 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.480 him coming in and saying, I come over here to 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:16.480 escape woke. 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:17.200 Yes. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.880 Yeah. One thing I do think is interesting. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.800 Is that both this character because Larry Elder makes a 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.640 note that like his son is about to transition and 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.120 is at least non binary. They don't really know what 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:30.880 any of this means, so a little bit of the 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.600 script is unclear as to what these kids actually how 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.640 they identify. And obviously Norm's daughter is I don't know 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.880 if she's non binary or just like into a like 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:42.560 generally queer, but like. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.400 That is the impression you're left with. 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.280 And again, if you actually were someone who was kind 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.720 of conservative, conservative sympathetic, like Mike Judge making like a cartoon, 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.840 you can actually get some mileage out of the accepting 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.960 the idea that like, Okay, you've got these curmudgeonly older people, 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.440 and you've got their kids who are like way more 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.280 open about this kind of stuff, and there's there's there's 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.080 room for plots as King of the Hill did pretty 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:12.800 well that kind of lampoon the culture in general, but 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.560 it requires a little more self awareness. Like again, if 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.960 there was a little bit you might wonder, like, what 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.840 are we saying if we're the people making this right 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.920 wing piece of propaganda that all of the young people 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.920 feel very differently about gender than their parents. 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.600 Well, yeah, that's why Norm keeps saying I'm the old Norm. 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.160 I want to year And the show is called The 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.800 New Norm, not to be confused with the nineteen ninety 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.520 nine ABC sympcom storing Norm MacDonald called it the Norm Shows. 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.520 It's literally right, it's literally in the name. It's about 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:47.840 you know how these people cannot cannot accept that times change, 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:52.520 and they slowly get outdated social beliefs. Anyway, every single 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.360 time that Norm addresses the non binary character, referring to 0:08:55.400 --> 0:09:00.640 them as pronoun or that his little AI Amazon assistant 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:06.199 just bleeps out offensive. Offensive Jazz is here to re 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.559 educate Norm in non bonary studies. 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.080 I'm allergic to dogs. 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:18.240 It's okay. Billy is an emotional support dog and non binary. 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.840 Oh okay, then good dog. 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.839 Just just amazing voice acting in that cliff and with 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.439 a helpful laugh track, so you know what is a 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.000 joke and when you're supposed to laugh, which is so 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.559 embarrassing for an animated sitcom to put on a laugh track, 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.920 like oh my god, oh my god. 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:42.360 It smacks of desperation because nobody really liked nobody misses 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:43.160 laugh tracks. 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.720 Laugh tracks are like if you have a live studio audience, 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.000 you know, a laugh track kind of like makes sense, 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.720 this is this is an animated sitcom. It's like if 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.600 there's a laugh track on like Rick and Morty or 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.640 like the Simpsons, Like what the fuck are you doing? 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:56.839 Yeah? 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.319 Anyway, the two men sit down to watch sports, and 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.000 Larry Elder laments that a non binary person is present 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.040 in the room and starts complaining about his child. 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:10.160 I come here to get away from woke trouble at home. 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.880 Oh my boy or whatever it calls themselves now is 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:16.600 thinking about transitioning. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.679 That's try Regina. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:25.000 Transitioning to what another humble whatever it calls themself now, 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:29.200 amazing pronoun usage, another fumble now. Norm tosses the gay 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:33.680 beer to Chaz, the non binary character of Jazz Jazz. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.600 Chaz fumbles the catch and says, that's. 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.520 Not even that's not a gay zoomer name. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:46.400 Chazz is like something like, that's that's very gen x jazz. 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.040 Totally Yeah, well again, because this is all made by 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:50.000 gen X people. 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:51.800 Yeah, exactly, yes. 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.400 Chaz fumbles the catch and says that they can't drink 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.520 because they're not twenty one, and Larry Elder replies, y'all 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.640 influence my boy, and I cut off his junk but 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.920 draw a line at beer, and then Chaz hides behind 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:07.120 the couch to call upper level government operatives who are 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:12.000 advising them on this re education assignment. I got it. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:13.960 Before we get into this, I want to start with 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.760 what doesn't make sense about that bit, which is that 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.839 if Chaz was straight edge, right, and they were kind 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.560 of again, if they actually knew anything about like the 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.240 real sort of culturals kind of divides that are coming 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.880 in around gen Z and gen Alfa, they could have 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.880 made a point that like, yeah, this generation of kids 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.320 doesn't get drunk and do drugs the way like millennials did, 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.959 and that's an actual like cultural cleavage point. But Chaz 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.120 is not straight edge. Chas is just saying I cannot 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:41.719 legally drink beer. 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.320 Which right, no gay person has ever said, which nogay, 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.520 But it like the fact that unless they're straight edge. Yeah. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.680 Larry Elder then comes in and says like, oh, this 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.840 is a characteristic but it wasn't like a characteristic of 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.560 you queer gen Z kids. But the queer gen Z 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.199 kid did not express that as like a characteristic of 0:11:59.240 --> 0:11:59.959 his identity. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:01.719 Who's just stating this is. 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:06.600 Illegal because it's illegal? Yeah, very yeah. Anyway, anyway, when 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.720 Chaz is conference calling with this this upper level government 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.280 we have, we have this general in like a in 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.040 like a kink dog mask who barks, and there's a 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.360 trans woman admiral who says, find a way to break him, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:23.320 maybe we can fix the country. I believe the admiral 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:27.640 is a really transphobic character of US Assistant Secretary for Health, 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.280 Rachel Levine. And yeah, it's not even a good character. 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.200 It's just it's just doesn't look there is there. There's 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:38.800 also another another character which Robert identified as a possible 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.600 hate crime and and tasked me with locating who this 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.640 person is. And I believe with about one hundred percent 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:50.480 certainty that this is a character of Sam Brinton, who 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.080 was appointed the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.920 Waste Disposition in the Office Nuclear Energy. Are you kidding 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.640 Apartment of Energy? Now? 0:12:58.840 --> 0:12:59.080 Ah? 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:03.680 This people are so fucking conservative social media brain, what 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.400 are you fucking come on? 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.160 Brenton may be well known to some of our listeners 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.520 as being let go in late twenty twenty two after 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.120 being linked to a series of airport luggage thefts. One 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:20.040 of the funniest things that's ever happened. This person could 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.840 not stop stealing luggage from airports so much that they 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:25.720 got fired from the Department of Energy. 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:27.160 That's amazing. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.840 This this goes back to like twenty eighteen years. God, 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:35.200 there's funny years of airport It's so funny. But again, 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.520 if this was a good comedy thing, they would have 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.720 some kind of bit like maybe maybe they would be 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:41.320 holding like a like a like a you know, like 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.040 a collection of luggage. But no, they're just they're just 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.679 they're just standing behind the progress Pride flight Like that's it. 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:47.440 Like it's not funny. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.360 Yeah, because again because the actual funny thing about this 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.360 would be to have like your government character be someone 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.640 at the Department of Energy who got taxed with this 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.040 through some sort of incoherent DEI narrative and also a 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.880 character trait as they are always stealing luggage and like 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.840 you could actually bear it. It's around that over time. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.840 But they just they threw all these people in knowing 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.920 that like the two hundred people who are as right 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.280 wing online as them would get who all these were 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:14.760 as opposed to doing the thing that you would do 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.040 if you were actually making a show for mainstream consumption, 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.520 which is like make fun of people that the audience 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.880 will recognize. Throw with Joe Biden in there right, like 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.920 obviously we're doing this in twenty twenty four, Like where 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.920 is anyone that someone who's not completely lost their mind 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.400 to this stuff will recognize? 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.240 And this is this is the climax of the pilot. 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:42.200 It's it's so it's so bad. After after Chaz has 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:46.280 this little phone call, the fake camera zooms back to 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.800 show a fake animated studio audience, and the bad country 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.280 theme song plays once again, and now I will play 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.600 it for you because this section is both so pandering 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:06.640 but also oddly genuine to it's the end newly same as. 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:15.640 Everything's changing and I don't know this woven Marilyn, thank 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:21.160 God very longlast and his ship those means makes sister 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.240 all free speech. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.200 When the song goes, thank god for Elon Musk and 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.760 his ship, post memes he's the home for free speech, 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:36.760 and unvoiced animated Elon Musk pops through the door for 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.080 no reason. 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:39.920 And he's someone. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.240 Someone on Twitter took a screen grab off the Elon 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.440 Musk and said they gave him that in Smith look, 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.640 and he does look like one of the fish people 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.240 from insmuth. That's not a flattering caricature. I think it's 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:52.800 meant to be. 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.320 It is because like it's it's I don't know. This 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.520 is a really interesting moment because this is where it 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:03.440 gets like kind of like genuine. Jess Hawkin wrote, the 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.920 part that blows my mind about this video is the 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.120 Elon Musk cameo where the bitterness and resentment of the 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:13.480 video melts away into still believing in Santa Claus and 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.040 it gets it gets just so weirdly genuine with this, 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.480 with this like the kind of heartfelt, saccharine Elon Musk 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:20.600 ending Well. 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.200 Speaking of genuine, Garrison, the main thing that's genuine is 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.160 our love of these sponsors. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.840 Okay, we are packed. So there after watching this pilot, 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.400 there's there's a lot of questions to be asked. Why 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.280 is there a fake animated studio audience? Uh, you know, 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.280 pretty bad. My friend Ellie Erman pointed out, like why 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.200 is the protagonist so unpleasant even in their perfect fantasy world? 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.680 And also why is the word sitcom hyphenated in the 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.920 title something that you don't do? Just a lot of 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.920 a lot of baffling things. So there was there was 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:05.960 a mix of reactions to this. You know, some of 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.639 the blue checks on Twitter were kind of lapping this 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.760 stuff up. One person with the username Amazing Gaming Productions wrote, 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.360 I know some people are critiquing it, but my fee 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.720 on saying I laughed at a couple points. It's a 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.399 good start. I hope you continue to work on it. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.560 We need all of the indie material we can create. 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:26.760 And included in this tweet is a picture of a 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.600 very poorly drawn avatar saying, Hi, my name is Indye David. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:36.960 I'm here to fight Goliath Mainstream Oh my god is 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.920 a gamer Gate two themed gaming company who wants to 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:45.240 create anti woke games. They've done in nothing. They just 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:50.320 post really bad artwork and I cannot overstate how bad. 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.359 Why his next so wide and so long? 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.359 For how bad the TV show's animation is this? This 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.480 reply was just so bad I had to pointed out 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:01.440 just incredible. 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:01.720 Yeah. 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:08.040 Now, Dave Rubin, the possible alleged potential most likely creator 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.640 of the show, does air his work on Blaze TV. 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:16.200 You know by by Glenn Beck, and even even other 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:20.000 Glenn Beck employees could not could not help but point 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:21.119 out how terrible this is. 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:21.399 Uh. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.280 Logan Hall, writer for Glenn Beck's The Blaze wrote, quote, 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.960 TV shows on leftism the cringiest, most unwatchable, nauseating trash 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:33.480 ever created TV shows on conservatism somehow even worse and 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:38.000 one of the most brain poisoned Conservative cartoonists George Acxipolos 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.400 basically like a discount stone Toss wrote quote south Park 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.720 head ed, this has as much edge as an uncooked 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.320 sour dough. Between this and the Daily Wires limp cartoon, 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.200 they may as well be flushing money down the toilet. 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.720 He then went on to say, give me a small team, 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.800 a million dollars and total creative control, and we will 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.560 make a cartoon pilot that will melt faces. So again 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.040 he just wants to take to get his own his 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.760 own TV show, But a whole bunch of these, you know, 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.800 kind of right wing cultural critics were we're not we're 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.760 not infused with this, with this outing because it's because 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.040 it's really bad. So I want to get into kind 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:17.879 of who is behind this now the full I hesitate 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:22.879 to say creative team, but the people team, Yeah, the 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.000 team behind the New Norm show, not to be confused 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.240 with the Fox two season documentary show The New Norm 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:32.119 Have been have been largely kept secret, possibly out of 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:33.080 fears of humiliation. 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:35.680 Yeah, that's how you know it's a good show. 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.359 But we at least do know some of the voice cast. Right, 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.760 Larry Elder plays the token black conservative who only exists 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.560 to affirm that the main character isn't actually racist. Now, 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:48.240 I doubt Larry Elder has much involvement beyond lending his 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:53.240 voice and the other two confirmed voice Again, I hesitate 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.840 to use the word talent or even actor, but the 0:19:55.920 --> 0:20:00.520 other two voice contributors are Dave Rubin and jpc Now, 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:04.320 I believe these two could be much more critical to 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.160 like what makes up the comedy of the New Norm Show, 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.320 not to be confused with the Oatly Oat Milk series 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.480 of online puppet shorts titled The New Norm Anal Show. Now, 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.320 I assume most people listening to this are familiar with 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:20.240 Dave Rubin. Like many of these right wing influencers, he's 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:23.560 a failed comedian turned political podcaster who's been positioning himself 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.399 further and further to the right over the course of 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:26.159 the last decade. 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:26.760 Now. 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.720 JP Sears was a quote unquote holistic life coach who 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.720 turned kind of into like a YouTube skeptic type satirical comedian, 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.000 and while trying to parody new age WU and conspiracy theories, 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.760 JP was peddling his own pseudoscience and adopting more and 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:45.320 more conspiratorial beliefs. Over time, JP and his comedy began 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.520 moving further and further to the right. But the COVID 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:49.720 nineteen lockdown was kind of the breaking point where he 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.640 went all in on anti VAXX, COVID nineteen and January 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:56.800 sixth conspiracy theories. But I think there has to be 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.080 at least one other contributor, you know, behind like the 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.280 art and design of the show, and I can't I 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:03.359 can't figure out who that is. I scrolled through all 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:04.760 of the tweets to try to find out if this 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.040 account had another name. I can't find out who exactly 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:10.480 this other person is. There is there is one mystery, 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:14.800 one mystery component. But one interesting thing I did uncover 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:17.840
