The folks behind the comedy-centric blog Shecky Magazine have a lot of hate to get off of their chests, and so do we! Shecky's hate is directed at whoever is foolish enough to practice, comment on, produce, watch, or hear about stand up comedy, and ours is directed at Shecky!
Here are just a few of the people that Shecky has dropped a dump on in recent weeks.
Brian Lowry of Variety for speculating on why there are no more stand ups starring in sitcoms.
Peter Berrera for having the audacity to have only been doing stand up for two years!! Come on, Peter, you should have been doing stand up for more time than that before having an opinion!
Tim Rawal, columnist for the Asheville Citizen-Times (NC) gets talked down to for speaking ill of Dane Cook. You always take the high road, Shecky!
Matt Belknap of "A Special Thing" and the Never Not Funny podcast gets a blog lashing for also having opinions about comedy. Who the fuck do you think you are besides someone who has close relationships with most of our favorite comedians, Matt Belknap?!
And now, our very own local funnyman, Travis Helwig, is the subject of Shecky's tremendous bitterness. This is a man they have neither seen nor ever even heard of. Why? BECAUSE HE IS A COLLEGE STUDENT WHO IS FAR FROM BEING FAMOUS. He got interviewed, which is an exciting thing. But in Shecky's eyes, it means war. They are incensed at his views on comedy. How dare anyone express an opinion without the express written consent of Shecky Magazine, the Superbowl of comedy reporting and the authority on all Haha's and Chucklehuts across the land?
Of course this isn't the first figure in the area, Shecky has had negative things to say about.
And how dare you, almighty Shecky Magazine, print words on a computer, rather than a traditional newspaper! How the fuck am I supposed to read it?! I can't bring it on the subway!!! Also, do you think you're the first people to ever start a blog?!! How dare you! Pink is the new blog, not Shecky! Also, why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? These arguments make complete sense, and don't make me seem crazy, completely bitter or out of touch at all. Also, like us, sometimes you just can't think of anything nice to write, and end up just shitting on people who probably didn't deserve it. Just ask Mike Metz.
And one more thing, assholes, will you please put a link to us on your website? Nobody reads this piece of shit.
