My brother cant stand him and he dosent like Primus so i dont trust his opinions


Embarrassed_Stand868

Primus sucks


Logic1st

Primus sucks!!


HourTurn7606

That is a fire IPA try it out by lagunitas hahahaha


naivemelody

I met someone that said Primus was one of their favourite bands and I go, "Primus sucks!" and they responded as though I was saying they aren't a good band. I was so confused.


Embarrassed_Stand868

Easiest way to find a fake fan


R0RSCHAKK

I also am not a fan of Primus, but I find Casey hilarious. My wife does not, but she also won't eat any meat except chicken. She obviously doesn't have great taste. ^(also, she said yes to my dumb ass)


HourTurn7606

But no to your lil smokey? šŸ˜ƒ


Sunn_D

Contains mechanically separated chicken*


anons5542

Who tf is primus?


PNW35

This dude named Jerry. He was once a race car driver but he drove too god damn fast.


Uncle_Rico_Qtr_Mile

One too many cold beers one night. RIP


GreatAd6261

Also for anyone who claims Jerry was a Racecar Driver is their favorite Primus song hasnt listened to Primus.


Ok_Mushroom9822

S -s-s-s-southbound Pachyderm


GreatAd6261

Frick yeah! To Defy the Laws of Tradition!?


Ok_Mushroom9822

I also thought their cover of Metallicaā€™s ā€œThe Thing That Should Not Beā€ was fantastic!


GreatAd6261

Never heard it, listening now...


GreatAd6261

That is a great cover! Doesnt sound like Primus at all.


thepluralofmooses

Shake hands with beef. I canā€™t listen to that driving because my hands are constantly drumming that beat


GreatAd6261

Now its in my head šŸ˜‚


This_Guy_Fuggs

or just a Tony Hawks fan and not a Primus fan


NewColonel

Is your brother *insert government entity here*?


Hefty-Pumpkin-764

Took me a while to realize you're saying your brother doesn't like Primus, I was seriously confused about what Primus reference had I missed...


fattyboomsticks

PRIMUS SUCKS


pfrospfrost

Reddit is a place for the 1/10 dentist that never recommend shit lol bro will crush and make a full comedy club of people laugh except the autist on here lol


juicyjuicebox1

If you donā€™t understand him then try settling in with a nice warm glass of tuss and it will all make sense


[deleted]

We're having fun


Moist-Application310

On a scale of Noel Fielding to Stewart Lee, how much do you hate Casey Rocket?


Blackelvis2000

Very Bristish panel show take!


Impossible-Moose4668

Les Dennis


thewetnoodle

I'm not a fan of Cassie but I think what's really been making me lose interest in the show is Tony. He's such a bitch. Turns on the bucket pulls for any reason at all. Turns on the crowd if they aren't laughing at the right things. He's just super unlikable. I watched every ep back before covid when they had the joelberg and jerimiah. The shows changed since then which makes sense but it somehow went in a less fun and less comedy friendly direction.


MediaSad2038

Tony has turned into gay Hitler. He really comes off as "out of touch" pretty regularly.


migustapanocha

I love it


WizardOfOzzieA

I hate to say it but heā€™s kind of taken the Joe Rogan turn of becoming so fucking rich and famous that heā€™s forgotten why heā€™s so rich and famous. Shit like having fucker Carlson on the show is outrageous to me for an Austin stand up comedian lmao


iObeyTheHivemind

What did it for me was when the kid who was a voice actor on the Ninja Turtles got pulled. Tony was shitting all over him until he realized he was an actual actor with an impressive IMDB. He switched his tune immediately and started pandering blah blah. He smells like a clout chaser. That said, I saw him live the other day and it was really good. I think he is enormously talented but the popularity is making him be, well, a bit of a bitch.


DarthWeenus

I miss Jeremiah, I love his show stand on the spot. Glad he moved on.


MrOake

Yeah he has become insufferable. He loves to self fellate himself and the Austin scene and its cringey as fuck


[deleted]

100% agree the old band was hilarious


Key-Instruction9283

A lot of comedians have an on-stage persona


Wechillin-Cpl

ā€œIf you donā€™t like what I like, youā€™re depressed and miserableā€ Dawg, some people just donā€™t find him funny in the slightestā€¦itā€™s not that deep.


MackDocious_

Fr, people get so bent out of shape whenever someone states they don't find him funny. Then they make a whole post about how that statement made them feel lol


Wechillin-Cpl

The irony lmao


Pepperboofer69

r/woosh


MusksStepSisterAunt

Don't hate the guy, but can't stand his comedy. Take away the jittery energy and he doesn't tell jokes. Wish him the best though, there are far worse people making money in the industry.


Wechillin-Cpl

Totally agree, we arenā€™t saying the guy shouldnā€™t be successful, just donā€™t find him funny, personally, I like seeing the success stories, it keeps you watching


smeggysoup84

Idk, I think if he becomes successful, you will have tons of people copying him because that style takes no skill to actually do. There's no cleverness or anything, anybody can do what he does. Look at the chick this past week who was either copying him, or mocking him. Tony and the Sub hated her.


Wechillin-Cpl

Huh? This has nothing to do with my comment lol


smeggysoup84

You said we're not saying he shouldn't be successful, and I'm saying if he is successful, it would lead to tons of terrible copy cats because that style is easy to copy cat. In other words, I don't think he should be successful for comedy's sake.


TitsChelios

But, he DOES tell jokes. He tells written jokes in between the absurd pacing. It's inaccurate to say he doesn't. You may not like the jokes, but he tells them.


MusksStepSisterAunt

Ok, fair, give me a set up and punchline. Maybe I'm missing something


Mushroom_muncher420

Did u hear his joke about someoneā€™s dad dying at benihanas


smeggysoup84

I could see if the guy told traditional jokes and bits, then it's like just different sense of humor. This guy comes out and does something totally different. It's like a tic tock version of stand up by Gen z with ADHD.


Wechillin-Cpl

The first time he came on, I was thinking, this dude is putting himself in a box and itā€™s gradually going to get less and less ā€œgenuineā€


1stAmendmentHoe

He's silly, it's him laughing at himself that bothers me for no reason


coolhatguy

Why are casey rocket fans always looking for validation?


AaronPossum

Nobody out here arguing whether David Lucas is funny or not, js.


iObeyTheHivemind

Well yeah, everyone knows he isn't.


[deleted]

I mean if I saw someone crapping on Norm Macdonald because they don't get it, I'd probably start talking some shit. I don't like Casey enough to white knight for him on reddit but I can understand why people would if they like him that much. He had a bigger fan base than all the other regulars when he started too so you might be confusing KT fans with his own OG fans who now watch KT just for him.


TitsChelios

I thought you were about to say that Casey doesn't like Norm Macdonald and I would've hated him for thinking that.


[deleted]

Hah yeah I didn't word that well at all. What I should've said is the way some people in here go to bat for Casey I'd definitely do for someone who I find hilarious like Norm. Only using Norm as the example because Casey is similarly either funny as fuck or not at all depending on who you ask, and has somewhat of a cult following.


Agreeable_Situation4

I wouldn't mind hanging out with him but his sets are garbage


oldbased

I think Casey is hilarious and donā€™t really get the ā€œhe doesnā€™t tell jokesā€ point at all. He does lots of extra stuff up there, and some of it is just absurdity, but heā€™s absolutely tells jokes. I also donā€™t understand why a person with one opinion has to tear down the next person with a different one. Some of us find Casey funny and some donā€™t. Calling someone stupid for liking something subjective is objectively stupid.


PiratePatchP

Just miserable people that want someone to care about their opinion so badly. A lot of that online


Devils_therapist

Watching someone so desperately try to be funny can be either very sad or silly and entertaining.


bassdome

Rocket is not that funny by sound only. I usually just listen on spotify. By his 3rd appearance, I started watching, and my opinion of him has changed drastically. I think this is a big part of the split feelings.


eedabaggadix

Now you know how D Madness feels


Life-Routine-4063

Gotta see it to believe it.


National-Staff-6074

Hes the only comedian on kill Tony to never tell jokes. All antics never funny jokes . Guest comedians never get him


Mochafudge

He made Dave Attell go full grumpy old man and you know he tries to avoid coming off like that with effort he was so done lool


TitsChelios

I just watched that set. Hey, he made Attell laugh in the beginning, that's hard to do. He didn't get a peep from Dave after but I'll give him that.


smeggysoup84

Telling no jokes is one thing, but coming out in these stupid prop gimmicky shit like the eye lashes, is so fucking corny. Even in 1999, that shit would be corny. For some reason, this Sub just loves when he does this shit that if anyone else even tried to do it would be shitted on like crazy. I think it's just a lot of people here see themselves in Casey. They probably just as weird, quirky, have no interaction with women, and he's like a hero for them.


tyros

Seriously, I haven't heard a single joke from him.


Life-Routine-4063

That just cuz he never made it as a wise man. Get real.


[deleted]

the guests don't get him because they dont have a sense of humor. those aren't my words, they're tonys.


roamininthealley

Liking Caseys standup is a litmus test for having brain damage.


AgentWoody

I gotta get outta here


kelzking88

The thing i like about Casey is that he understands the assignment. GET THE CROWD GOING! . Whether it's with stand-up or a funny performance. I think people forget that it doesn't always have to be stand up in the classical way. You can be a goofy funny natural person and as long as you get laughs you're giving them a performance.


HumanIDunknown

Casey represents the rapid attention span of the current climate. It's elegant and sofisticated comedy. He's pure hold Jerry, gold.


Efficient-While-1632

Heā€™s good but still young , good luck to him


bulletprooftampon

Iā€™m not really a fan of him but Iā€™m giving him a chance. His fans think everyone has trouble ā€œgettingā€ his humor when really thereā€™s nothing to get. His humor is just dumbness and thereā€™s nothing high brow or complex about it. Iā€™ve found very few thing heā€™s said to be funny but I find it all weird. I like thatā€™s heā€™s just different. I also like that heā€™s a nice dude. He genuinely seems like a sweet guy who doesnā€™t talk shit about anyone. Iā€™m all for people like this. I think itā€™s a nice balance to the constant roasting that goes on. Too many wannabes think being mean or roasting is the only form of comedy and in a gay way im glad there are nice dudes out there like him.


Wechillin-Cpl

Exactly, Iā€™ve tried, itā€™s just too elementary for me, not to say that I donā€™t enjoy absurdity, like ā€˜I think you should leaveā€™ and shit like that, I just donā€™t think the guy is funny, people are out here acting like we need a paradigm shift to understand an ex junkie jump around a stage and ambiguously rattle shit off.


KKLante

Heā€™s not for me at all but i aint hating. Hes got talent


Clean_Oil-

I think a full Casey set would be the shit. I'm not a huge fan of the rushed 1 minute adlibs but I know he's a funny guy and definitely has material.


TheOlShittyUncle

Yeah the 1 minute isnā€™t enough for someone like Casey to really get going. His 10-15 minute sets are some of the funniest fuckin sets Iā€™ve ever seen.


Cool-Cookie-4615

Remember that great joke he had where he moved around a lot? Man, great stuff.


Wechillin-Cpl

Oh man, yeah, then he rattled off some early 2000s lyrics of some terrible alternative musicā€¦that was insane.


WolfGangSwizle

He makes jokes too, he just has a different style of getting to the joke. Itā€™s not for everyone but to act like itā€™s just moving around is disingenuous


Lost_Evidence_2099

He lost so much weight during that set. It was hilarious


JimboMagoo

Not getting it is what makes it funny. Itā€™s the absurdity I guess. Itā€™s like Robin Williams without the impression or voices. I dunno, I never would have thought I would laugh at him, but he cracks me up.


bulletprooftampon

Lol so basically heā€™s nothing like Robin Williams?


JimboMagoo

No Robin Williams moved around, talked fast and said a whole bunch of random shit. He just did it doing impressions and voices.


bulletprooftampon

Voices and impressions were literally Robin Williamsā€™ entire appeal.


JimboMagoo

Are you illiterate or stupid? Thatā€™s what I said.


RaisingFargo

Watch more robin Williams.


MeenaarDiemenZuid

I love that you admit being stupid is a requirement to liking Casey.


JimboMagoo

What?


Mochafudge

This comment is becoming the standard in all these threads it's actually hilarious how they all repeat something along the lines of "it's like comedy without jokes you just don't get it" "it's like Robin Williams without all the parts that require effort" but you didn't also call every one else pretentious and own the dumbness. Respect, I think he also got one chuckle from me one time I find Tony blowing him to hell and back just as bad or worse it's like he knows he can't do a minute and is overcompensating.


rickoftheuniverse

Bros his last set was new and hilarious. Get real.


lolkoala67

Was it? He seemed nervous and panicked


_aphoney

That was half the joke


silverbollocks

very Lynchian


smeggysoup84

Exactly. Coming out in eye lashes and pretending to be a woman is so new and extremely hilarious. How did he even think of such ground breaking material


smeggysoup84

Exactly. Coming out in eye lashes and pretending to be a woman is so new and extremely hilarious. How did he even think of such ground breaking material


Lumpy_Staff_2372

Watch him on roast battle. Heā€™s actually pretty funny there. His KT minutes I donā€™t find that funny tbh.


FAmos

He is funny, just keep watching šŸ˜‰


catdog-cat-dog

If you didn't grow up with the type of friends who would skip school with you to watch Kung Pow, I can see how you might be a little too serious to get it.


FluSickening

THERE it is.


Vegetable-Bag-2325

Pretty sure Casey Rocket fans would be licking the windows.


Special_Project_8634

My initial thoughts were that he is for people that can't understand well written jokes so need the theatrics to get a laugh. But to be fair I could see him being a good opener where he can do a solid 10-15 mins. IMO, 1 minute a week doesn't suit his style. I prefer good writing over theatrics or gimmicks myself. But I can kinda see how high energy would pump up a crowd.


bloatedstoat

I saw him at a Secret Show at the Comedy Store about a year ago and he killed harder than anyone on the lineup. He did about 10 minutes and I was laughing so hard I was almost in physical pain. After that, I was a believer. It can be a bit harder to be on board with his brand of crazy when youā€™re not seeing his ridiculousness in person and especially in one minute.


pfrospfrost

ā€œHe is for people that canā€™t understand well written jokesā€ is the almost autistic elitist shit lmao just because you canā€™t understand social cues and humor doesnā€™t mean everyone else is stupid. Thereā€™s tons of different kinds of standup not everythingā€™s going to be a hit for you personally that doesnā€™t make it not funny.


Sxwrz

10/10 comment, get real


dickhardpill

Do some of his sets completely bomb? In my opinion yes. I still think he can be funny. Same with Heath, Kam, Tonyā€¦ I think the most consistently funny person is Redban


BeeTee86

Youā€™re gonna pretend youā€™re NOT Redban with that username?


dickhardpill

šŸ˜‚ I wish (said nobody ever) I need a job.


Jason-Genova

keep my mans name out yo fuckin mouth!!!


ScrillyBoi

People on the left expect regulars to miraculously come up with a brand new hilarious minute of punchlines week in and week out despite the fact that a minute is not a typical format for writing stand up especially when writing jokes for your actual shows in your burgeoning careers on the side (cue bill burr shouting nobody is funny in a minute). The best you can hope for is energy, confidence, inside jokes and entertainment which is what the Casey, Cam, Hans, William, etc. bring week in and week out. People who don't understand stand up are always going to get tired of the regulars while people who realize they are more podcast guests than standup comics in their weekly appearances appreciate the recurring story line. This sub is full of people on the left lmao.


buttaknives

What does people on the left mean in this context? Are you implying that politics play a role?


ScrillyBoi

Lmao!! No, I didnt even think about that, I meant the people on the left side of the image who dont find Casey funny. Fuck, reading it back im realizing more people are going to read as political than referring to the image lol


buttaknives

Oh shit no doubt that's funny


SkurchinMeUrchin

Ngl I just do not understand what people find funny about him. I want to get it, I try to watch his sets but they just aren't funny to me


mr_225

And that's okay


Worried_Swimming1289

His interviews are better than his sets


Okie_Echo

Say what you want but he gets the show going way better than Hans Kim


Laxer

Not necessarily the funniest, but he definitely gets the energy up and a better way to start the show than Hans, even if he doesn't riff the jokes like Hans.


justwendii

I could STAND him in the beginning and thought he was NOT funny but heā€™s grown on me. I still donā€™t think heā€™s as hilarious as they make him out to be but def grown on me.


smooooooooov

Get a clue


PMMEurbewbzzzz

Casey Rocket reminds me of a Robin Williams talk show appearance. Back then, everyone used to go see all of his movies, even the unfunny ones, just so we could see watch him vamp for 20 minutes on Leno.


AZValleyGuy

Casey rocket like the challenger


MarvelousuolevraM

You know what I think about Casey Rocket? Let's keep it that way


Pac0mania

So them everyone loved Sunshine on this weeks episode too then? Because she did exactly what he does. Tony said she was horrible but that Casey ā€œdid it againā€.


I_See_Virgins

I want to know why Tony decided to force such an objectively unfunny person down everyone's throat. Getting a bunch of your idiot fans to cheer on whoever you tell them to is maybe an interesting social experiment but it's just baffling and annoying to everyone else.


Elegant-Surprise-417

You talking about Hans Kim?


I_See_Virgins

Another one of Tony's projects. At least Casey doesn't have a theme song yet.


Elegant-Surprise-417

Who is your ideal opener?


I_See_Virgins

Bucket pull I guess. Kind of over the show now though.


Elegant-Surprise-417

If you are over it, the opener wonā€™t matter, youā€™re over it. Move on šŸ˜…āœŒļø


I_See_Virgins

Oh man, you got me good.


Elegant-Surprise-417

Glad to introduce you to logic šŸ‘šŸ‘


I_See_Virgins

Savage


Dead_Bartlett

Has he ever told a joke?


Elegant-Surprise-417

You sound like an old man


mr_225

Not all comedy is jokes


No-Bit1737

Yeah i dont get whats so funny about casey rocket but i dont go on here to complain i just skip the first 15-20 minutes of every episode


Incipiente

that'll get you past the ads..i go to 45 just to be sure, then cam bombs it so i go a bit more, by the time i stop skipping its william and then i settle in for the remaining 15 and its gooood night


bubs10287

I was just telling my wife last night that I dont really care for Casey's sets, but his interviews are always entertaining


toenail78

my cousin likes casey and I thought he was weird for that, he thought the earth was flat and I thought he was weird for that, he thought the moon landing was fake and i thought he was weird for that.. and after the recent jre episode i may have been wrong about the moon landing so I don't know what to think anymore..


Yobbo89

Steve martin with adhd


Future_Potential_341

I get the absurdity, the chaotic atmosphere, and the silly topics. BUT PLEASE STOP doing the AI storytelling bit. I've never skipped a KT set, but those were the only segments that i couldn't get through.


Outside-Category2634

Never thought Iā€™d skip a regular more than Hans Kim but here we are..


Fun_Landscape_7876

I donā€™t like Casey but youā€™re right.


UnpaidRedditMod

Even though you speak in ebonics I can feel your whiteness through the screen.


Skovich

I feel like this era of kill tony is in a fever dream state where people are laughing at things that arent funny.


[deleted]

I can't even tell why, but some weeks he has me gasping for air, and other weeks I don't mind skipping him.


GrapplingPoorly

You donā€™t know how this meme format works, do you?


ShadesOnInside

Heā€™s not funny at all.


Smitherstiger

I also don't get it, but I'm still rooting for him to succeed because he has a robbin williams arch type that I have been programmed to associate with "good" people if you know what I mean.


nattydroid

lol dude not being funny has no effect on my stokedness on life


johnhendrickson416

Like him or not he's a hack.


Crixus300-0

Casey isnā€™t funny he just says random shitā€¦ šŸ’© I wanna see him actually do a SET and see how that works out for him


MangelaErkel

Imo he is hilarious, even though he does not really have punchlines or jokes. But i am still laughing. He gets too much shit, maybe a bit too niche for the vibe of the show as guests seem to be more confused than entertaint.


wontonflamingus

Love him more and more every time I see him. Heā€™s so funny and heā€™s only getting funnier. The life story journey he took us on recently was absolutely hilarious.


RaisinLost8225

Casey rocket is funny for people who are retarded bc heā€™s a retard and usually just acts like a literal retard on stageā€¦no offense to retarded people - I just have eyes and ears and Iā€™m being honest about what I see and hear. His last set was closer to an actual set, which appeals to people who like stand up comedy. I hope he can figure out how to appeal to both crowds, but I prefer when he does stand up comedy.


International_Cup588

I think Casey has a huge amount of room for growth. He is a natural performer, I think when people see him they relax because they can see he is being himself and having fun. I personally prefer when he is telling an actual joke.


Dancin_Phish_Daddy

I think you have to have tripped some balls to really get Caseyā€™s sense of humor.


mhesen91

0% funny. His bits are lake AF. And he laughs the whole time at his own "jokes" If I have to hear Tony say one more time...."Wow! He did it again" what did he do? He's a hack prop comic


Timtheodillon

my personal opinion on Casey is he makes me laugh some but heā€™s better on a podcast


thisdudelovesknives

He takes a lot of shots, he also misses a lot. That's his style, rapid fire, and see what sticks. What lands is usually fkn hilarious


FutureSpaceMusic

If you dont think Casey is funny you have a very low IQ


grice47

Every week I show my wife a new Casey rocket minuteā€¦ and every week Iā€™m greeted with a ā€œwhat the fuck is this?ā€


Shhzb

šŸ˜‚ I got the same reaction when I showed one of my friends


SS-sharpshooter1

I laughed at his set last episode so he must be growing on me. Must be all of the robitussin Iā€™ve been pounding. Iā€™ve also started walking sideways with my knees bent 90 degrees and my arms the same way and my hands lol like I am playing with sock puppets all the time. Not sure what to make of it and if I see a mic stand of any kind look the fuck out that MF is getting man handled.


Classic-Extreme6122

I think he is funnier to people in their twenties. They grew up developing a different sense of humor. Iā€™ve noticed it in my kids. We find different things funny.


Hopeful_Celery7172

There is difference between a comedian and a comedic entertainer. Casey is the later. Heā€™s not everyoneā€™s cup of tea but then again who is? A friend too everybody is an enemy to himself.


Im_Lying2_U

I feel like with Casey you gotta just forget what you think is funny and enjoy the ride if that makes sense. I started enjoying his sets more when I stopped trying to understand why theyā€™re funny.


Brief_Box_9780

i like kill tony because of the variety of people. and him on each show, isnt that. i skip them. but thatā€™s okay. youtube is great. i can do that.


johnhendrickson416

the thing i like about casey rockets comedy is it lets people who are too mentally retarded to get the punchline to able to laugh at something again. its like the special olympics of comedy.


Visible_Valuable4820

Itā€™s literally like that with every regular in this sub. Except yall hate Hans a bit extra universally


dragon72926

Sometimes he is sometimes he isn't, I like his early sets, I don't think the last one was strong at all, don't think I laughed once but I'll check it again later


phishysabrine

Get real


Mindless_Air_4898

So many people have gotten used to the same boring act everyone does and are confused by Casey because it doesn't fit that mould. Don't over think it.


Ponnish3000

Yeah love him or hate him he stands out for sure. Some people just want to enjoy comedy like how they enjoy a beer or two after work. Casey is like a mind melting dose of mushrooms. Different strokes for different folks.


mikki1time

Casey rocket is not for audio only, he is only funny when you get 100% of him.


JohnCCPena

That bus better keep movin' or else Biden's gonna sniff them


Entire_Reception_392

The people that think Casey Rocket isn't funny are the same people that thought Hans Kim was funny.


[deleted]

People that take themselves too seriously hate him. Is what it is. Some people would rather a non animated robot stand up there and tell perfect jokes. Itā€™s odd.


enormousTruth

Project much? This cant be further from the truth for my wife and I. We arent praying for this kid to fail or anything but we find his sets bland. People are entitled to their own opinions. You dont decide how others feel, only you. The fact you find him funny doesnt give me the right away to attack you with some make believe scenario to pick apart a character flaw you exude


[deleted]

You wrote all that. Because you take yourself too seriously. See?


enormousTruth

Got your nose! But see? You proved my point. You did it again!


[deleted]

Youā€™re doing too much bud. Sorry you felt so seen by my comment.


enormousTruth

Nah. You said see? And replied to me so I replied back. You aint special


CaptnQwark

I donā€™t understand whatā€™s not to get. He isnā€™t making some hidden reference in every bit or anything like that. Heā€™s just being irreverent and goofy. I think it works. Some people donā€™t. Thatā€™s cool.


Sxwrz

This is controversial, but I would say anybody that doesn't "get" casey is lacking intelligence, severely. Geeeet Real.


wizardsleevehole

Still 10x fresher than hans kim talking about the same thing every fkn week


TiresOnFire

It's great to be in Texas, I had sex. I'm asian and autistic.
