Fun fact, in case you didn't know: the fellow who voices Dan Halen on (Todd Hanson) is one of the writers & editors of 😯

Dude is a comic genius IMO, and he's especially hilarious as Halen.

@netspionage Really? omg I love the Onion, utter brilliance. Been into it since it was just a newspaper. Dan Halen was my favorite part of the show too

@Tail

That short, badger-like tycoon is one of my all-time favorite characters as well πŸ‘

The gimmicky magazine interview show spoof (or whatever it was called) is one I can rewatch endlessly 🀣

Pretty much any episode with him in it is a guaranteed win.

Still can't believe Stuart Baker shat the bed the way he did 😞

He definitely was the perfect Early Cuyler; sad he shared any of those views IRL, though.

@Tail

Wow, they *really* tore into things with the first episode of the final season of 😱🀣

The Tough Lads are an obvious jab at the Proud Boys (depicting them as testosterone-deficient, penis-gun compensating Gravy Seals 🀣🀣🀣) and while I'm not saying they were calling out Unknown Hinson aka Stuart D. Baker's racism & misogyny...

...uhm, Yeah, they were totally calling out Baker's racism & misogyny.


@netspionage I don't think I saw that one, probably gonna rewatch it now to see just how much I missed. I didn't really make the connections before :facepalm:

@Tail

Well, The Hatingβ„’ has already begun πŸ™„

Not sure what people were expecting πŸ€”

Honestly, I would say Baker was killing it as Early; then, he very publicly, shit himself - I mean...what did he *think* was going to happen...?

So, they replaced his voice for the final season, sans pretense, just going with it in a new direction (kinda). I'm OK with that, & can appreciate it for what it is. I'll still always love the original Early, just not his RL views.

@Tail

I feel like responding to the OP with "Whelp; Found Unknown Hinsons Reddit Alt" but just don't care enough to engage in any actual flame wars πŸ™„

@Tail

FWIW, it's the "One Man Banned" episode I'm referring to; been hearing they got aired out of order or something.

Haven't watched the RIP episode yet, though if it's as brutal as the first...wow, I...kinda feel bad for Baker. Not saying I endorse his views or actions, and he just saw the consequences of his behavior; still, though...if the second one is as savage as the first, hope he doesn't lose his shit or anything.


@netspionage That kind of hate can never stay hidden for long, unfortunately. You can like the work of someone without endorsing the person, the guy did a good job even if he. Was a bastard. The entertainment has already been derived.
