Rob . . . Robbyyyyyy . . . The Robster . . . The Robaroonie . . . cracking the bad jokes . . . coasting on what’s left of his SNL cred.
Calling him an “actor” is incredibly generous.
Hey, don’t forget smoking lamp!
You should never throw a bong, kid. Ever.
I’m sorry, was that expensive piece?
Was that expensive piece?
At first I was sad reading that an actor I liked turned out to be a bigot, but then I realized I was confusing this dipshit with Roy Scheider and felt better.
Roy Scheider is, unfortunately, no longer with us. Rob Schneider is, unfortunately, still with us.
I didn’t even need to know he is a bigot to know he sucks, because he has sucked for a long, long, looooooong time.
.lgbtqnation just the best news site nobody could ever think they could be biased in any way.
Took a peek at your comment history just to be certain, but you’re a gigantic festering asshole. I feel sorry for the people in your life.
thank you for letting me know you can press buttons on site on the internet. i feel sorry that you could not find anything better too say. only smart people make it personal instead of replying too what i actually said. i don’t feel the need to comment like a baby.
you’re pathetic. cry more.
well im not the one calling people names that seems pretty pathetic too me. almost seems like you have no arguments. i don’t really think you are the person that should bring crying into this.
Oh wow, this is the guy who told me I was using the internet wrong because no one has called me a bigot.
oh you can remember something. but as i told you before you only seem to remember what benefits you. i told you that if nobody has cold you names on the internet you are using it wrong just look at the comment you are replying too. you also seem to miss that this implies that you mostly seem to talk to people who already agree with you with your long history on the internet. that was a very funny reply. as if calling someone asshole on the internet is somehow argument.
I wasn’t talking about remembering or not remembering things.
Did you even read my comment?
yes i know you only remember what benefits you. this was only a very small part of my reply and that’s the only part you reply too. a references to what you said in a reply older then a day ago. i still remember that’s why i said it.
That’s nice, dear.
okay dude i did not know i was talking to a grandma.
Oh, look, another old comedian jumps on the bigot bandwagon. It’s an incredibly transparent trend now for when they can’t write the same material that got them there in the first place, or when they are no longer working with the person that wrote their material for them.
Take a few shots at trans people, purely for publicity, then use that sudden boost from the circle jerking media to secure yourself a Netflix special, where you can talk about how you’ve been cancelled for an hour and a half for a big payout.
It’s just a marketing ploy for using peoples own outrage against them.
He’s been a conservative hack for a while (and he’s been a hack for his entire career), he just hid it better than, say, Victoria Jackson or something. This is him feeling too comfortable. I’m glad this crowd didn’t let him stay comfortable.
guy who looks like a stupid dick is actually a stupid dick. happens every once in a while.
Rob Schneider is my pick for second cast member of Home Alone 2 to be convicted of a felony.
How dare a comedian make a joke… You guys are just lame now.
If he was telling a bunch of N-- jokes, would you similarly come to his defense?
Sure, if they were done in a way that was actually funny to a reasonable person. If statements are just insults then they were never jokes, the problem is that you guys dont even allow people to make fun of particular groups, you start clutching your pearls and gasping. You guys went from the cool guy in the 90s to being super lame.
What sort of “reasonable person” would find a white person telling jokes that use that word unless the joke criticized the word funny?
Which “cool guy” comedians in the 90s told such jokes? Can you name them?
Trans jokes were not relevant in the 90s. What I am talking about is how in the 90s the general left side was the side that was funny and would tell any joke and the right was the more religious and pearl clutching, now the sides have reversed and you guys the are lame ones.
Your example is a joke talking about how it’s a racist word. Which is not what I asked you to show me. Also, that video was from 8 years ago, not the 90s. So how does that support your point?
That is an example of the joke being funny when teh n word is used. And yes, the aspect of the N word being racist would be central role for when it would be used in a joke. That guy did it in a hilarious way and I defend his use of it to answer your first comment.
This is what I said:
What sort of “reasonable person” would find a white person telling jokes that use that word unless the joke criticized the word funny?
And then you provided me a joke (again, not from the 90s like you were talking about) which criticized the word. So I think you proved my point. Racist jokes aren’t funny and neither are other bigoted jokes.
“joke”
If the audience is booing the “comedian”, they must not be funny.
Or… the crowd is soft and cant handle basic critique from a comic. Would you guys be foaming at the mouth is a comic made fun of christians at christian event, and everyone booed? The answer is no, you would be saying how weak the christian were.
Any community can be criticized, but the criticism should be coming from within. Eddie Izzard can make trans jokes, but Rob Schneider doesn’t have an interesting perspective to share. When Ricky Gervais roasted the audience of the 2020 Golden Globes, he did it as a fresh insider.
Would you guys be foaming at the mouth is a comic made fun of christians at christian event, and everyone booed? The answer is no, you would be saying how weak the christian were.
Who’s “foaming at the mouth”? I’m cringing at how lame Rob Schneider is. I don’t want to be in the same room as him because I’ll get second hand embarrassment.
Outsiders always have the most basic, over spoken take on shit. If you want a non political example, take every comedian who flies into to NJ to do a show in NYC and decides to make a joke about how bad NJ smells. While it true that they did smell something bad on the ride in, but that’s hardly representative of NJ.
So I am not allowed to critique a group an organization with humor unless I am apart of it?
You’re allowed to do anything you want and I’m allowed to boo you for it.
Agreed! And that makes you lame, boring, and illogical.
Just dont you dare ever make a joke about a religion you dont belong to, that would be super bad.
Are you suggesting religion and being trans are the same thing?
Because that means you either think both are inherent or both are a choice. So which is it?
dont you dare ever make a joke about a religion you dont belong to
You’re right. Child molestation isn’t a laughing matter. Hard mode, figure out which one I’m referring to.
Are you kidding? It’s a comedian’s job to read the room and tell when their set isn’t landing for shit and change tactics on the fly. Maybe he’s got his own shit niche but he should learn the basics of tact if he wants gigs.
It’s not the audience’s fault when a comedian bombs. It’s his own damn fool self.
I see a headline, I dont know if it was a real boo, or a “boo” according to the article writer.
Hospitals of Regina Foundation issued a “sincere and unconditional apology” for Scheinder’s comments during his set, which occurred at their Four Seasons Ball. Attendee Tynan Allen told the CBC that “it was just very apparent how uncomfortable everyone felt and how unacceptable the things he was talking about were.”
Maybe read the article along with the headline.
Oh wow, a person or organization caved to pressure, that is super rare…
Your previous comment:
I see a headline, I dont know if it was a real boo, or a “boo” according to the article writer.
The article you didn’t read along with the thing I just quoted that you apparently also didn’t read:
Attendee Tynan Allen told the CBC that “it was just very apparent how uncomfortable everyone felt and how unacceptable the things he was talking about were.”
It sounds more like you don’t want people to have found him offensive. But they clearly did.
You believe everything you read as long as it agrees with you, dont you? There is a news article(s), so they appologized, has happened literally thousands of times, and then there is a quote from a person claiming a thing, literally has happened millions of times. Show me the clip and that is actually a useful thing, artles are literally useless.
You believe everything you read as long as it agrees with you, dont you
Nope. Here’s me admitting I was wrong about something earlier today:
https://lemmy.world/comment/10510117
And there are, I am sure, Rob Schneider routines on YouTube and I doubt he decided to only tell trans and antivax jokes on this occasion, so you’re free to find out for yourself. I have a feeling you’ll decide they aren’t offensive no matter what they are though.
Incidentally, even Republicans find him too offensive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMxbyf5I_GE
Is that all you have to add?
I seem to be the only one calling out your silliness, so yes.
You’re so close to getting it.
Thank you!
What’s up with all these washed up celebrities coming back to the spotlight just to make an ass of themselves?
He’s been on this tip for a long while, supporting Ron Paul and being anti-vax. Last Week Tonight did an episode on Vaccines, and he shows up in a no longer valid comparison of RFK Jr on the left, Alex Jones wherever he fits in, and even this guy. I remember him also calling for Ron Paul 2012, but doesn’t seem to be from this one, so hopefully I’m remembering that right.
Still, he’s been libertarian and antivax for a long time, and those communities have been heavily aimed at by fascists for recruitment.
They were always an ass. That’s the secret.
Nowdays, we just have more visibility into this shit than we did “back in their day”.
Not even necessarily more visibility, go back 20 years and this kind of stuff was popular. Go back another 5 years and anti-gay humour was also still popular. It wasn’t even considered anti-gay because anti-gay was the default option, so it would have just been called “gay jokes”.
Though it makes me wonder what is considered normal today that will be seen as problematic in a decade and popularly opposed in two.
dude isn’t even funny in the first place. he can’t do a Dave Chappell. Pander to the bigoted masses with a modicum of talent. Now if Dave Chappell wasn’t a pos he could easily be the funniest man in comedy instead of a fringe washup but here we are. Used to love them both for their niech humor but lets be honest Rob was only ever funny cause he was proped up by mid Adam Sandler scripts.
Why is Dave chappell is a POS? Did he do something awful? I didn’t follow him because I don’t find his jokes funny, it’s mostly complaints or trash talk.
Sucking up to Elmo comes to mind.
He insults transgenders in routines and bitches about people calling him out for it. He also throws out stupid stereotypes about various other groups but they aren’t generally direct insults like with trans people. He tops it off with complaining about cancel culture cause apparently he can insult and call other groups out for just living their life, but if somebody calls him out on that crap it’s bad.
“Transgenders” is not the way to prefer to trans people, but thank you for the support.
Nice, you got down voted for asking a question
Tends to happen, they swung back to positive tho!
His shows are pretty much him making fun of trans people and whining bc people call him on his shit for doing nothing but making fun of trans people.
Here’s some excepts from The Closer in 2022. I watched this begrudgingly to prove to a buddy of mine that he was, in fact, being transphobic (said buddy is no longer buddy), and I haven’t watched anything of his shit since but it’s probably just him whining even more now:
-
Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from.
-
And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!
-
If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying.
-
trans-bitch from the picture.
-
A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have.
-
I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover.
-
“Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such.
-
Gender is a fact.
-
Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?
-
I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice.
It’s not blood, that is beet juice.
wat
I guess in Chappelle’s view women are just their cycle or something
You wouldn’t even need to change that many words from the Carlin interview for it to be 100% accurate to today. Andrew > Dave, Jewish > Black. Done.
Idk, kinda unfair to just post excerpts, his sets are stories with a point.
What sort of non-bigoted story do you think capable of containing all those particular posted punchlines?
I mean I’ve watched them. It’s not that bad
I watched The Closer. It is in fact that bad. I’m not giving him the time for anything else
Idk why that’s the argument his defenders make, that we wouldn’t criticize it if we watched it. Maybe you’re skinnermeming yourself. “I can’t be wrong it’s the trans supporters that are wrong!”
Especially when the people who watched it criticized it.
Of course, some people posting refuse to even believe that.
Do you think trans people think those jokes are not that bad?
It seems more like you don’t care that they’re hurtful.
Chappelle makes fun of everyone, sounds like you’re just mad because this time it was about your.
That was… The point though? He thinks trans women aren’t women. That was like a full third of the show’s transcript, and I even left some off
So what do you view as the point of saying all these things or the point of the show itself?
I guess the point was about the one token trans person he deemed worthy of his respect (who killed herself, probably unrelated) bc she was totally fine with him making fun of her identity so that makes it ok to just dead gender her after talking about how he pretty much bullied her and she took it bc of his position in the industry so that makes it ok to just degrade whole group of people
Or something
Go off though if you wanna defend transphobia I guess

I went to see Rob Schneider perform comedy round 2015. Tickets were free for a Saturday night. It was at 80% capacity, which is unusual since it’s always sold out.
He was pretty rough and attempted to be edgy. He already had gay jokes and there was polite laughter, but nothing compared to the professional comedians who opened for him.
Honestly I thought he’d quit after a few years.
blame adam sandler.
Hes been clinging to Adam Sandlers career and been artificially buoyed by it for over a decade.
Rob Schneider peaked literally last century with Deuce Bigalow. As if that were not bad enough…
I believe he peaked at “making copies…” on SNL. Deuce just sped up the downhill roll
January 19, 1991. JFC.
He peaked at the first “making copies” sketch. Then they didn’t stop.
Yeah, that was particularly bad habit of SNL back then. They hit upon a mildly amusing joke and then just beat it to death by doing it over and over when it was barely a little funny the first time.
It’s a wonder they didn’t create a “making copies” movie with how they were back then.
On the other hand, sometimes those movies were surprising.
Remember that The Blues Brothers was a one-joke SNL sketch, as was Spinal Tap.
From that era, the Wayne’s World movies weren’t high art, but they were pretty funny.
Wait! Spinal tap wasn’t an SNL sketch.
It was a sketch on something called “The TV Show” according to wiki.
It says they worked on a pilot for The TV Show, which had spinal tap as one of the sketches.
I guess it still started as a sketch so you are right in your point that sometimes these things start as nothing more than that but it wasnt SNL. Although the cast have all been on SNL at some point.
Oh, I’m sorry, you are correct. It was The Folksmen from A Mighty Wind that started as an SNL sketch. Exactly the same people, so you can see why I was confused.
Rob Schneider? You mean that ‘you can do it’ guy from the Adam Sandler movies?
Just about the only good thing he’d done.
He was pretty good in Surf Ninja. Like a lot of people, he’s better when he’s just a supporting character.
You mean last millennium?
“You can do it!” 🙃
Please, give an example of an unbiased news org. They don’t exist. This one just wears its bias on its sleeve.
And what do you think the truth here is? Do you think that the Regina Leader-Post, the local newspaper they got the information from also wears its bias on its sleeve? How about the foundation whose public apology they printed? Is that fake news?
I was trying to respond to this nutcase’s response. I’m saying that bias is fine. But at least this one says what it’s for.
.lgbtqnation just the best news site nobody could ever think they could be biased in any way.
But I guess Lemmy fucked it. So sure, down vote.
Oops, that sucks. I removed my downvote and upvoted for what it’s worth.
Preesh!
AP news, agrigated articles are difficult to all fudge in the same direction. Is there bias in seperate articles? To some degree it’s going to happen, does every single article have heavy bias in exactly one direction? Nope.
BBC, Reuters, NPR, and a few other services generally avoid heavy bias by using similar methods of agrigated content from multiple contributers that aren’t all working in a single location, for one entity, with the same editor, working for the same owners. There’s much less bias found across their platforms, and what’s there in terms of bias isn’t all to one particular US political party.
I don’t know what you are arguing. You can have a bias towards reality. Some have a bias towards centrism, even when one side has lost its mind. My original comment was to an idiot claiming that lgbtq wasn’t news because it has a bias.
My point was that everything has a bias in some way, even a bias towards truth or whatever. It’s still a bias. Lgbtq nation simply tells you what the bias is explicitly. Which is good. I’d rather they be upfront so I can find news not filled with right wing anti gay screed.
I wasn’t arguing. I just took your question about where less biased news could be found seriously, and tried to explain why I thought so on the sources I mentioned.
I don’t really understand these dipshits. The older I get the more tolerant of others outlook on life I get. I might not agree but I don’t have to trash them to make myself feel better. I certainly don’t begrudge them their own preferences. Perhaps one reason for this is that I have become asexual. Or chaste to use a really old term for not interested.
I refer to myself as kinda sexual, I guess the kids are calling it graysexual these days, I never thought to use “chaste”, but that’s a good descriptor. I used to always say that I’m just a prude, lol
Oh to be sure I find women attractive and I could see myself under certain circumstances being in a relationship again but I’m fine just like I am. I wouldn’t ever consider it for the sake of just having sex. It would have to be with someone who accepts me flaws and all and I of course would have to feel the same about them. Not likely where I live in the world today.
IMHO your sexuality isn’t driving your tolerance.
You’re just growing as a person, continuously. Many people stop growing, settling into rigid ideals and reacting with hostility to pressure against those ideals.
All these people seem to be in decline as well. I suspect their egos can’t handle it and they resort to weird distorted conservatism so they can blame others for their fall from grace.
I don’t know that asexual is really the same as chaste, because chaste implies you’re using some sort of willpower to avoid sex rather than just not wanting to have sex. Either, in my opinion, is a fine way to live your life, but they’re not really the same. I wouldn’t say that all nuns are asexual, but all nuns are supposed to be chaste.
In the past terms like ‘chaste’ ‘innocent’ and the like, were used to describe people who seemed to naturally not be interested in sexual things rather than someone who was restraining themselves. Sexual repression really wasn’t a concept until very recently, and in the past people would day Zealous, or similar terms for someone more actively fighting against their natural desires.
Its the closest thing you can come up with from the past. I think they are the same. Especially in this world. You don’t have to expend any will in this world to be chaste or asexual. Its not like anyone you would want is going to come chasing you.
Sorry, responded to the wrong person.
