it’s so funny that they’re using Romeo and Juliet when a) Juliet would have originally been played by a man anyway and b) knowing theater kids, it’s far more likely they would either end up with a Juliet and Juliet or have to cross-cast Romeo
I was friends with a lot of the theater kids in high school. I even helped them build and paint a set for one of their plays. Not only are you right, but it would probably be their idea with the teacher just approving and going along with it rather than coming up with it on his own.
Actually, it was Boomers handing out the participation trophies to the Millennials which makes it even more ironic 🤓 … as an “Elder Millennial” it always aggravates me when older generations complain about that acting as if we asked for those things! We could give two sh!ts about it since we always knew what they were and that we lost!
For real. I remember getting my first one at 11 years old and being confused because we didn't win. That was the first time I understood feeling indignant. 😂
@kaylynnanson6231 Me too! I was given one for teeball, and our team blew! I was so confused why I got it. It was only years later that I realized what the purpose was.
I kinda from the jump assumed this show was written by people who have absolutely no experience with the public school system, but the fact that they didnt know memorial day is a civic holiday just straight up confirms it.
@2:06 Veteran's Day always lands on Nov 11, while other federal holiday dates change from year to year (Memorial Day is the last Monday in May, Labor Day is the 1st Monday in September). Sometimes when Veteran's Day lands in the middle of the week, schools and businesses will chose to observe it on the Monday or Friday of that week because its easier for them that way. It's entirely possible that schools are in session during Veteran's Day. I know this because I have been part of more than a few of these "Veteran's Day freebie marathons" and I have to stop in the middle of the day to pick up my kids from school.
Adam Carolla couldn't figure out how to write a real conflict between a conservative and a liberal, even his strawman liberal, so he avoids the plot idea and reduces the Romeo play to a single joke about diversity.
@@shaunsmith9013 What I've found lately is that a liberal whose ego gets ruffled and gotten self- centered is a conservative in the making. That's why a lot of entertainers took right turns: being rendered irrelevant due to age or changing tastes can make people bitter and they lash out at something to blame, like "wokeness".
@@shaunsmith9013 So was Roseanne, in the 90s her show had the first primetime gay wedding among many other progressive ideals. Why she even tried running for president herself in 2012 as a self-proclaimed socialist. So weird to hear her voicing a character on this show, complaining about exactly the kind of person she used to be.
I feel like this show doesn’t even work on its own terms. Like, are conservatives delighted by this? I would assume most conservatives like shows like Family Guy or whatever because they’re funny, and maybe overlook some of the politics. Whereas this show presumes the politics matters more than the humor, and I just feel like there’s not a lot of market evidence to suggest a show that’s not entertaining can be saved by its politics. I think it’s actually the other way around. But this is also kind of a revelation of how conservative big shots assume the media works. They assume that liberal audiences like “liberal” shows because they’re full of liberal propaganda so conservative audiences will surely like a reverse-engineered version of this concept. But again, that just seems like a fundamental misread of what both left AND right wing viewers want from a show, especially a comedy show.
Market evidence doesn't care about your feelings. Joking aside, when I want to watch a comedy show, the #1 thing I want in it is comedy. Not ideologic propaganda disguised as comedy and bad jokes.
Some wingnuts are even hating this crappy show because it dared to have a gay character who wasn't an over-the-top stereotype to villainize (Birchum's black friend).
Or come up with "Romeo & Julian". WHY TWO ROMEOS, isn't that redundant? Also, a plot about Birchem losing his lunch over the play would've been far more interesting, but no... we get an episode about power tools and China.
I'm developing a headcanon that she's just that desperate for his approval after he disowned her older brother for having his own interests. This is out of sheer boredom because if they ever went there, it might actually be interesting, and it's not gonna happen.
A genderfluid reimagining of ... do they not know Juliet was originally played by a femboy because women weren't allowed to work in theater in Renaissance England? THE PLAY WAS ALREADY GENDERQUEER!
well not necessarily a femboy, just any regular guy, but yeah they don’t know a lot of history because they’ve been complaining about how there’s no masculine men for quite literally over 100 years.
Not to mention, there's already a play by Shakespeare that plays with gender- Twelfth Night. You don't have to change much except for the ending and likely leaning into the themes of gender and identity already slightly there.
If you ever find yourself asking "do conservatives know" and plan to follow that with any fact about history, science, politics, or practically any field of knowledge, you can stop yourself right there, the answer is already no.
It’s so weird how they show birchum doing shitty things, and realize they need to come up with some excuse about why he wouldn’t get in trouble. Like they KNOW he’s a shitty teacher and person, but he can’t have consequences because he’s the audiences self-insert.
You know it's bad when the audience surrogate is a self professed piece of garbage. That's their own framing of him. They could have went the route of "he's got a heart of gold but everyone thinks he's a shit head because of his traditionalist worldview" and that probably would have been at least a little bit more watchable
@@skybitesadly I don't think her reasoning is all that altruistic... She just projects she hates Jews a bit more than she does Muslims.. but a busted clock is right twice a day
I can't belive this but the food fight on Veteran's Day is such a wasted opportunity. They could have done something like use the fight to trigger one of the guys' PTSD or something and then Birchum and other Birchum's crews could uave bonded on that. It would be so easy to turn this episode into something like a 5/10. It's like they actively fought to have this be trash
Remember when “The Simpsons” completely revolutionized television comedy by sending up the traditional sitcom structure? Now “The Simpsons” IS the status quo. And every adult animated series is a pale imitation of its most successful imitators.
On the first or second season DVD set, there is a really funny Easter egg of a news report from 1990 where it's about how kids were being sent home from school b/c they were wearing Bart Simpson t-shirts lol
@@comicsansseraphim4934And South Park burst on the scene like a madman. I know they’re not a sitcom but they gave America its own brand of satire to a huge audience.
So wait, Mr Birchum is a Vietnam veteran? The US pulled their troops out in 1973 meaning that even if Birchum was drafted as soon as he turned 18, he’d be at least 69 years old and would have served less than a year.
Yeah, The show's writer didn't think that much through. Even if you update it to make it look like he is from the gulf war. He would lose the motivation to gripe the common talking points because the myth of being betrayed back home wouldn't stick. It also doesn't help he has a gamer son who looks to be in his mid twenties so Birchum would have had to have him in the late 90s. So yeah the time period is just all over the place.
The weirdest part is that they're Vietnam veterans, which would make them at the youngest, 68. Also, "you vote for Obama because of white guilt," is sixteen years old, which shows that Carolla hasn't updated the character since the early 90s when he first wrote it.
Yeah that's what gets me. This show is so out of touch with time its hard to ignore. It makes me wonder why they didn't make him a gulf war vet instead.
I heard a theory that the script/premise of this show is over a decade old, but this show kept getting rejected until Daily Wire bought it. Don't know if there's any evidence of that,though.
I heard that too, but Pat replied to my comment and said Birchum is a vet of Grenada invasion. So that would at least put him younger than Vietnam and would make a little bit of sense.
Concerning what you said about participation trophies: I was asking the ref at my kid's soccer game about why they don't keep score. He said it calmed the parents down.
Honestly that sounds great. The main reason I can't get into sports is that people who play them are way too freaking competitive. I want to have fun moving a ball around. I really don't care if I win or lose.
I know I'm not the first to point this out, but I absolutely cannot stand conservatives' empty reverence for war veterans. About ten years ago, i worked in a restaurant in Arizona. Met a guy in a wheelchair wearing one of those Navy veteran ship hats. Like, which boat you were on. Guy served in the Vietnam boondoggle aboard the USS Kitty Hawk. I went over to his table, we chatted about the history, the specs, some of his experiences. After cautiously asking about his obvious health issues, he told me he'd been exposed to agent orange. I was aghast but unsurprised when he told me that more than half the serious exposure cases didn't get any payout or federal aid because they were exposed while decanting or deploying it; when the government finally acknowledged that AO was a Big Problem, they swept the Navy guys who transported and handled it under the rug. If it wasn't dropped on you in Vietnam, you just couldn't possibly have been exposed. He told me he only wore the hat out of respect for his ship and crew, and that he started to resent anyone who thanked him for his service while a defoliant ate him alive and he lived in poverty. He's almost certainly dead now. I feel like Adam Corolla hasn't had a single honest conversation with anyone who actually went to war.
My heart goes out to guys like that veteran. Adam Carollla would drink to veterans and obnoxiously "thank" them for their service... but when it comes to any benefits they need it's suddenly "entitlements" and "government handouts" for "lazy people"
They don’t care about soldiers, since soldiers are just pawns to gain glory, power and resources like oil with war, veterans even less since they are now useless to war addicts...
My father in law was exposed to Agent Orange and it took him years to get a payout. He never wears anything to signify he’s a Vietnam Vet (except for a license plate because he thinks it gets him out of tickets 🤷🏻♀️) and doesn’t like it when people thank him for his service. I always found that odd but my husband who is an Air Force veteran from Operation Iraqi Freedom is the exact same way.
My uncle was a Long Range Recon Patrol Marine in Vietnam and either got AO dropped on him or just walked through it while on missions. He didn't get any medical payouts until 50+ years and many VA medical reviews later about a month before it finally killed him. At least his bennies still go to his widow.
It seems like only shows with a glimmer of promise get that treatment. Garbage usually lives forever, so yay for that trend being bucked. Or the creator reaching the limit of the effort they wanted to put in.
As a veteran, hearing Adam Carolla whinge about performative concern for veterans is incredibly patronizing. Like dude, you're not a veteran. You're an entertainer who grew up in Hollywood. It would be fine if he was just playing a character, but it's obvious that the character is 100% a self insert.
I was watching another video where someone was reviewing episode 2 of Mr. Birchum and he's a teacher in 2024 who is a Vietnam vet? Nam vets are like 75 now. How old is he supposed to be exactly? I would at least buy it if he was a Gulf war vet. That would make sense. Btw, I feel like this show could lose The Daily Wire a ton of money, but they wouldn't care b/c it seems like they live in this fantasy world where it's more important to "own the libs," than to do something that makes sense. I'm not sure how many episodes are in the first season, but gods speed on getting thought it man :p
Their mentality is like this. If things lose money that they don’t like, it’s because it’s “woke” and everyone hates that. If it’s something they like that loses money, it’s because everyone is too “woke” and society is crumbling.

The Mr. Birchum character is something Adam Carolla made in the 90s so it made much more sense back then. He was so lazy to even change anything
@@myfriendscallmepat Ok, I guess that more sense. I heard he was a Vietnam vet and my first thought was he'd be like 75 lol Pat, what do you think will happen first: A joke that you will actually laugh at and think is funny or you will lose your sanity watching this crap?
I’m really enjoying hearing about how god-awful these dumb shows are that conservatives cook up. I’m also glad I don’t get to experience them directly, and just through you, sorry. But I appreciate you!
They're Far Right nuts, not conservatives. Conservative is your granny complaining about your haircut. These clowns, however, want to send immigrants to camps, and usher in the Republic of Gilead. They're patently *not* the same thing. Not even close.
fun fact(?): Apparently one of the animators has spoken about the project. Despite the Daily Wire promoting the show as being made 100% in the USA, it was animated by a portugese (or spanish, I can't quite remember) studio. And it was assigned to a team consisting of mostly queer people, who, understandably, had zero motivation to work on it. They just did what they were told to make some money.
Amazing. Apparently Ladyballers tried to get actors for background work, but when they found out what the movie was about, most of them quit. Also every single actor they asked to take a lead role said no.
@@rushguy1 This is a relatively recent change. Throughout most of history most humor was punching down. I agree that punching down is mean spirited and wrong, but this is a fairly new development and most conservatives still aren't on board with it.
Calm down snowflake. Conservative humor is actually pretty funny, and no one is above criticism. It's only a problem when it's mean spirited and not funny.
@@Lexivor thats definitely not true. there are jokes from thousands of years ago shitting on a king or politician equivilent or shitting on their friends who they see as equal. also if conservatives werent on board with it they probably would consider not calling themselves conservative since their party is a complete joke and it would make them look like bumbling morons. but conservatives have ALWAYS punched down i dont know where you get your info.
and they had to wreck it by having the self insert conservative do not steal OC explain the joke at the end yes mr birchum I know the popular household saying about things with too many features
And logically it doesn't even track. An audible tone for a sensor drone makes some sense. It means you don't need to look down when piloting it and can concentrate on what you are doing. The point of "too many bells and whistles" is it's distracting. If you have one of each, and this is too many for a device that essentially pilots itself then driving a car might be too much for you to handle. It's not like you are piloting a 747 here!
I'm surprised it took you 5 minutes to determine this would be the worst animated sit-com you've ever watched. 😅 The sacrifice you are making is appreciated. 😂
the media trope of "we have to get one person of every major ethnicity" is so funny to me because of how often it happens 😭 like this is what white ppl think diversity is, "make sure we get a white guy as the main character then give him 1 black, 1 hispanic, and 1 east asian friend
The only time I've seen it actually work is in John Carpenter's 'Assault on Precinct 13' where the radio announcer basically says to the audience "We know it's weird that this gang is super racially-diverse but we want to have a cool action movie so just go with it."
A *lot* of DailyWire/Ben Shapiro stuff makes *way* more sense when you remember that he only really turned to conservative grift as a career after his attempt at becoming a screenwriter failed.
Its like they were tryna make Mr birchum a rip off of Stan smith without realizing American dad is meant to be making fun of the over the top conservative dad
But they felt the need to have Mr Birchum spell it out. Like this is the kind of forced contrived joke they'd have in Rick and Morty but at least it would end with Rick sighing in frustration while he lets the audience make the connection instead of going "huh just like the expression".
I would be more impressed if the joke didn’t have such a direct trail to Conservative support of baseless Capitalism. That aside, I agree, it was a running joke for me in my undergrad Physics Lab as well.
Mr. Birchum suffers from similar issues to Velma. The main character is the producer's mouthpiece, more focused on giving the audience a lecture on the producer's political opinions, and making outdated references. And just like Velma. The only good thing that can come from a show like this is some ad revenue for UA-camrs who suffer through the show so that we as the audience don't have to.
Why would they care? All they have to do is throw in enough buzz words and recycle the same pronoun jokes and their audience will eat it up because “Haha woke bad”
Writer's trick: Instead of making a character likable, tell people they're not allowed to dislike your character by making them a veteran or firefighter.
The play plot would have been actually interesting & have lots of opportunities for jokes. South Park would have made such an entertaining episode about this while making fun of both the left & right. They would also include some interesting social commentary. I also thought Mr. Bircham would not like the play being about two gay guys in love. The Daily Wire always makes such a big deal if school students are exposed to gay relationships, but Bircham doesn’t care to “make a stand” against this? Who is this show even made for? I mean, it’s nice to see mr.bircham is such a progressive guy with a very diverse friend group including a gay guy too. Just seems so weird because it includes things that conservatives complain about like when “token POC/LGBT” characters are heavily included to “get woke points” lol
No, no... no... Mr Birchum is bad King of The Hill and (insert family sitcom #25). While Velma is bad Daria and Riverdale. Different shite, same toilet every hour... and were gonna get more of it later...
@@Genin99 Oh, it's *already* legal in their jurisdictions. Republicans are opposing making it *illegal* for an old-dude statutory rapist to get-out-of-jail-free by trapping his victim in an abusive marriage, despite (because of?) the huge amount of evidence showing the practice to be incredibly harmful in general and to vulnerable young girls in particular. GOP never ceases to be worse than one imagines they could possibly be.
Given the number of absolutely-horrendous abuse cases coming-out of the private, unaccountable "schools" Republicans love forcing taxpayers to subsidize for their rich and bigoted donors via "school choice" policies, "leaving their students at work" is probably the safest those kids would be all day.
So as a veteran i find the premise of this episode quite insulting and tone deaf. Especially when you compare it to a show like King of the Hill. America has a wierd relationship with veterans, they are appreciated, but quickly forgotten. No small amount of vets suffer feom alcohol addiction, tobacco addiction. PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and suicide rates are incredibly high, for a conservative leaninf show, you would still think you would want to talk about this in a meaningful way, rather than just...hey our troops are just teying to get free stuff and drink on veterans day. Sure maybe MR. Bircham had a good time in service, but a vast majority of veterans have some chronic illness...a show like this seems to only want to target the left. But does so by completely ignoring a lot of systemic issues and tragedies that face the men and women of service. Also again...do they not realize the irony of a navy boy liking wood... seriously who wrote this show?
First of all, thanks for your service. Second of all, I have a suspicion that the people who made the navy veteran really like wood are the same people who have written Mr. Birchum's... *other* gay moments in the later episodes. Just a thought.
The most offensive part about the army VS navy feud is the army guys not throwing in a gay joke which shows how much the daily wire actually knows about the military
I find it hilarious how they’re claiming this show to be super offensive when Adam Carola already voiced a character on an animated show that actually was offensive and crude; Drawn Together. This show’s offensiveness is on pare with those boomer facebook memes with crusty jpegs of classic cartoon characters or minions your aunt Carol and uncle Carl share.
Essentially yes! But somehow worse. Also as an aside, not to fangirl out here but I love your videos. Bully is one of my favorite games of all time and I loved the videos you made covering it :)
Yep I initially talked about this in the video but had to cut for time. Kwan and his doppelgänger are easily the most similar, to the point of wearing nearly identical clothing when all other pairs have both different outfits and different hairstyles. Laziness or racism, could be either tbh
Honestly that seems pretty typical that someone like Birchum wouldn't give a shit about something like Shakespeare in the first place, but man try to add something gay to it he fancies himself an expert on this and how it "Offends his conservative/ Christian values" all of a sudden.
It's actually funny to think seth McFarlane did a better job at making a political show that's all too political but technically counts since he has a liberal daughter.
Hi Pat, new viewer here, I apologize so much for tormenting you with this show. But... I just love watching people criticize trash 🤣 You're a real one though, hang in there!
many of the things Mr Birchum complains about and blames on the everlooming spectre of "woke" can actually be blamed on capitalism, but conservatives love capitalism, even when it fucks them over directly.
The Boomers actually were the most entitled and empowered generation ever and got to make the world exactly how they wanted and then they complain how it sucks
I hate commenting before I finish a video, but. When I was a kid, I had this Archie comic with a three-pager about accessibility. The concept is there's going to be a production of Romeo and Juliet, but Juliet is in a wheelchair and can't even get to the stage, so, of course, it breaks her heart. Betty takes the matter to the school janitor/handyman/mustache guy, and he immediately sees the problem and is like "I can handle this, two shakes"--and builds not only a wheelchair ramp to the stage, making it ADA compliant, but helps them build scaffolding so Juliet can reach the balcony for her biggest scene (uh, besides The Other One). It ends with everyone happy, and with the handyman having seriously flexed on both his skill and his care for the students. So, uh, yeah, Mr. Birchum loses in every capacity to Mr. Svenson. Mr. Svenson even has a better mustache. Get bent, Birchum. ETA: Looked it up and it's a single pager called "Getting Into the Act", and it's simpler than I thought, but basic throughline is there. Turns out it's a PSA from the Cerebral Palsy Association. Those damned woke cerebral palsy snowflakes!
ive had the "im too smart for school" conversation with my teenager, my answer was not "but the woke or not woke" or whatever. I simply explained that even if he felt like school is too easy. This is just because they are going over fundamentals that will build into larger concepts when he takes more advanced classes. In other words you will be challenged but more importantly you will be LOST if you act like you know it all already and stop paying attention. His grades started to get better as he took my words to heart. Because everyone feels like they are a genius in middle school. heck the curriculum is designed to make you feel that way. It happened to me and it happened to the ding dong that wrote this episode. They just stopped at some point. they stunted their own growth, were told they were a genius and internalized it. It's tragic really
I think the "gay" accent they gave him is supposed to be making fun of him. They couldn't do that with his actual voice though because it's pretty deep.
I Googled "Mr. Birchum age", and the best result I could find said that he's in his "Early 40s". Which means he was born between 1980, and 1983. Which means that he is a Millennial himself. Pretty much older than all the DW hosts too. That's clearly shows that for the creators of this show, the term "Millennial" means anything younger than Birchum.
They can’t write a plot around the PC Teacher because that would mean they’d have to make him more than a one note unfunny joke. They’d have to actually… give him a personality
So far, all 3 episodes have been King of the Hill knockoff episodes. So innnovative. Episode 1: knockoff of KotH ep. Little Horrors of Shop Episode 2: knockoff of KotH ep. Unfortunate Son Episode 3: knockoff of KotH ep. How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Alamo
It would be SO easy to make the food fight appear like an actual warzone; have someone say "cover me" before throwing a bowl of mashed potatoes; someone throws some water over some hot oil and it explodes; have the opposing side commit "war crimes" by throwing food at outside patrons; show someone with food on their face as if their face has been blown off; etc. I know that is too much to ask for the Daily Wire, but you are in a medium that allows for you to be creative and to go as as far as possible! Take advantage of that!
I hate to tell the daily wire about history, but back when Shakespeare was still alive, the women roles were all played by men in drag. Also drag has always been part of our entertainment culture.
I saw the trailer thinking it was another generic family guy clone… then the pronoun guy showed up and I was like “wait, Why are they attacking people who don’t even hurt anyone? That’s just alienating possible viewers.” After seeing it was from daily wire it made sense. And isn’t it kinda ironic how the main character is just triggered by the new generation being different? This entire show was made by adults triggered by exaggerated situations made up in their own heads… Pronouns and gender don’t hurt them, but they’re triggered because they don’t want to understand them.
@@TheLetterJ-c8n the nuclear family wasn’t always a thing, it’s fairly recent. So no, it wasn’t the backbone of every society. It started in the west, then with colonization expanded. The backbone of every society is WORKERS!
All in the Family & King of the Hill already did a conservative sitcom except for the fact they did it right & those shows were actually funny I guess the creators saw those shows saw Archie Bunker & Hank Hill and got an idea for a character of their own. Except instead of making an interesting & flawed character they decided to make Mr. Birchum is always right & have nearly everyone agree with him except for the liberal teacher. The worst part is a show like this could work. Have it be about 2 teachers. 1 be extreme right & 1 extreme left. Like comically extreme. Have them hate each other & constantly butting heads, but they actually care about the kids. Like Rome & Rome play. Have Mr. Birchum want to do it exactly as written & the other teacher his idea. They make everyone around them miserable with their constant bickering By the end of the show, they learn that men played all of the parts originally. So they compromise. They do the play exactly as written but any student can play any part no matter their gender.The play is a success. But that's just me
But see, what you are proposing would require those at the Daily Wire to deviate from the Conservative/ anti-woke talking points. However, I don't think this could happen b/c they aren't capable of things like independent thought. They would rather "own the libs" than ever suggest they could ever be right in some circumstances too.
you have to keep watching...we all took a vote and one human mind must be sacrificed to chronicle this show and we all decided on you soo yeaahhh....enjoy episode 4!
12:05 This weirdly reminds me of Alison Bechdel's autobiography, where she says that when she first started selling "Dyk*s To Watch Out For," it wasn't funny. She wasn't yet a good writer, but her target audience bought it anyway, Just to see themselves represented at that time. I wonder if that's how the target audience for Mr Birchum feel? Underrepresented?
Speaking about rants. I am starting to think the main character is Adam carols himself. I heard that TMZ record adam taking his childern to a restaurant during COVID and they denied him service. Adam than went on a rant at the restaurant and they removed him. Worst of all his kids were there. So when the girl said nice rant, Adam wants his kids to support his rants even if it humiliated them.
Will the finale have Mr. birchum be given an offer to live in Russia because Russia made him happy but refuses and stay in America and be miserable so he can whine and complain so he can sympathy from others?
Yeah I was so fucking confused when that was mentioned, I certainly had to go to school when I was growing up in Kentucky. It’s my actual birthday too, a day off would’ve been awesome :(
Yeah it does happen. I took a look through California schools and the majority did have the day off, but not everywhere. Those schools that didn’t almost always had Memorial Day in any event. Either way, could’ve addressed it at all in the plot, which they didn’t and I felt it was weird. Easiest layup to complain about “the wokes” running schools or something
As far as Ohio we are open on Veterans Day and we have an assembly, too. I remember in elementary school walking through the halls and seeing each grade put up a poster with pictures of their parents or relatives who were in the service.
Its so funny how Pat can point out "hey heres how this episode could be good/ funny" and seeing how adam carolla totally missed it for secretly no reason
13:29 what's wrong here is that craftsman LOVE to get oddly specific (and well defined) requirements on their work. This should lead to a scene like: "Mr. Birchram, why are you here on the weekend?" "Your stupid guidelines said the ramp incline needed to be 10 degrees shallower, so I redid the ramp landing to make room." "Wow, thanks." "Stow it, that kid should lift more weights."
So surface-level. Jokes like "Millennials find triggers triggering", it's so shallow it actually makes you wonder, what are people feeling triggered about?
I was actually a pretty big Adam Carolla fan since Loveline. I followed him to his podcast, I went to see him live, bought his 1st book, bought his 1st movie "The Hammer". After a while, I got sick of his conservative lean. My final days of being hia fan was when he gave Ted Cruz the softest interview, and then tried to excuse Dylann Roof's mass murder. It pains me to no end that he is still living in the late 90s/early 2000s...
at this point I genuinely don't think they'll get past 10 episodes, because at that point they'll already have made all of their conservative talking point "jokes" twice over.
it’s so funny that they’re using Romeo and Juliet when a) Juliet would have originally been played by a man anyway and b) knowing theater kids, it’s far more likely they would either end up with a Juliet and Juliet or have to cross-cast Romeo
I was friends with a lot of the theater kids in high school. I even helped them build and paint a set for one of their plays. Not only are you right, but it would probably be their idea with the teacher just approving and going along with it rather than coming up with it on his own.

Adam Carolla couldn't figure out how to write a real conflict between a conservative and a liberal, even his strawman liberal, so he avoids the plot idea and reduces the Romeo play to a single joke about diversity.
💯
Which is nuts,because Adam was a liberal. And hated the right back during the loveline days.
@@shaunsmith9013 What I've found lately is that a liberal whose ego gets ruffled and gotten self- centered is a conservative in the making.
That's why a lot of entertainers took right turns: being rendered irrelevant due to age or changing tastes can make people bitter and they lash out at something to blame, like "wokeness".
@@shaunsmith9013 So was Roseanne, in the 90s her show had the first primetime gay wedding among many other progressive ideals. Why she even tried running for president herself in 2012 as a self-proclaimed socialist. So weird to hear her voicing a character on this show, complaining about exactly the kind of person she used to be.
@@shaunsmith9013 If Conservatives watched him co-host on the man show there would be lots of pearl-clutching when the Jigglies came out.
I feel like this show doesn’t even work on its own terms. Like, are conservatives delighted by this? I would assume most conservatives like shows like Family Guy or whatever because they’re funny, and maybe overlook some of the politics. Whereas this show presumes the politics matters more than the humor, and I just feel like there’s not a lot of market evidence to suggest a show that’s not entertaining can be saved by its politics. I think it’s actually the other way around.
But this is also kind of a revelation of how conservative big shots assume the media works. They assume that liberal audiences like “liberal” shows because they’re full of liberal propaganda so conservative audiences will surely like a reverse-engineered version of this concept. But again, that just seems like a fundamental misread of what both left AND right wing viewers want from a show, especially a comedy show.
Yeah I think if anything even with biases in mainstream media, people prefer to overlook politics in service of humor and story.
even a conservative like JJ can recognize how dogshit this show is
Market evidence doesn't care about your feelings. Joking aside, when I want to watch a comedy show, the #1 thing I want in it is comedy. Not ideologic propaganda disguised as comedy and bad jokes.
Some wingnuts are even hating this crappy show because it dared to have a gay character who wasn't an over-the-top stereotype to villainize (Birchum's black friend).
I saw a clip where a conservative didn’t want to watch the show because there is a gay character in it.
how did they write ROMEO AND ROMEO instead of the far superior ROMEO AND MERCUTIO. THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS
Lol! But, c'mon; you really think Adam Carolla knows who "Mercutio" is?
Not even a 'romeo and Julio' like c'mon
Or come up with "Romeo & Julian". WHY TWO ROMEOS, isn't that redundant?
Also, a plot about Birchem losing his lunch over the play would've been far more interesting, but no... we get an episode about power tools and China.
You know they're not creative enough for that.
I was wondering the same thing; Romeo falling in love with a clone of himself is just weird.
"Epic rant Birchum!"
What kind of daughter refers to her own father by his last fucking name?!?!
Yeah even I flinched when I heard that.
Who calls a rant epic?
@@gooeydude574 Someone trying to be cool who hasn't even tried to grasp current slang since 2007?
Especially given that Birchum family is hard conservative, one would expect Jennie would get a beating back home just for that.
I'm developing a headcanon that she's just that desperate for his approval after he disowned her older brother for having his own interests. This is out of sheer boredom because if they ever went there, it might actually be interesting, and it's not gonna happen.
A genderfluid reimagining of
... do they not know Juliet was originally played by a femboy because women weren't allowed to work in theater in Renaissance England? THE PLAY WAS ALREADY GENDERQUEER!
well not necessarily a femboy, just any regular guy, but yeah they don’t know a lot of history because they’ve been complaining about how there’s no masculine men for quite literally over 100 years.
@@muwuriel8231 A man is less manly for being secure in his masculinity. The masculine ideal has always had gender dysphoria.
Not to mention, there's already a play by Shakespeare that plays with gender- Twelfth Night. You don't have to change much except for the ending and likely leaning into the themes of gender and identity already slightly there.
Don’t forget cross dressing Portia in “Merchant of Venice”!
If you ever find yourself asking "do conservatives know" and plan to follow that with any fact about history, science, politics, or practically any field of knowledge, you can stop yourself right there, the answer is already no.
It’s so weird how they show birchum doing shitty things, and realize they need to come up with some excuse about why he wouldn’t get in trouble.
Like they KNOW he’s a shitty teacher and person, but he can’t have consequences because he’s the audiences self-insert.
You know it's bad when the audience surrogate is a self professed piece of garbage. That's their own framing of him. They could have went the route of "he's got a heart of gold but everyone thinks he's a shit head because of his traditionalist worldview" and that probably would have been at least a little bit more watchable
Well, the audience IS supporting a former president/presidential candidate who’s currently on trial for an umpteen number of felonies, so…
@@jcalexandrewritesgood point, they love losers that never get held accountable for their wrongdoing!!
I want to see the character growth lol.
What will be the meta of this show?
That just kinda comes with the territory when making a family guy clone.
It's funny how the wife's one black friend used to be voiced by The Daily Wire's one black friend before she got into a fight with Ben Shapiro...
And now she cannot have her original personality
@@skybite Tbf, Candice Owens doesn't have her own personality outside of Conservative/ The Daily Wire's talking points.

@@Air_Serpent Candace Owen pissed off Ben Shapiro by saying that Genocide is bad.
@@skybitesadly I don't think her reasoning is all that altruistic... She just projects she hates Jews a bit more than she does Muslims.. but a busted clock is right twice a day
I can't belive this but the food fight on Veteran's Day is such a wasted opportunity.
They could have done something like use the fight to trigger one of the guys' PTSD or something and then Birchum and other Birchum's crews could uave bonded on that.
It would be so easy to turn this episode into something like a 5/10. It's like they actively fought to have this be trash
Or have them use a bunch of military tactics. Make jokes about “cover me” while someone throws mashed potatoes or whatever.
Pretty sure the writer's believe having PTSD is a sign of weakness, and real men would just get over the horrific experiences of war.
That would require conservatives to admit that war messes people up and mental illness is a thing
They can't do that, they need the illusion that they're in control and capable of regulating their mental well-being.
Or like they get into it and it gets way out of hand like the battle recreations in American Dad
Remember when “The Simpsons” completely revolutionized television comedy by sending up the traditional sitcom structure? Now “The Simpsons” IS the status quo. And every adult animated series is a pale imitation of its most successful imitators.
On the first or second season DVD set, there is a really funny Easter egg of a news report from 1990 where it's about how kids were being sent home from school b/c they were wearing Bart Simpson t-shirts lol
Not every adult cartoon there's some gems out there. You should check out Primal.
I'm old enough that I had to turn my "Underachiever And Proud Of It" shirt inside out
I would argue that Family Guy revolutionised it again and that became the status quo.
@@comicsansseraphim4934And South Park burst on the scene like a madman. I know they’re not a sitcom but they gave America its own brand of satire to a huge audience.
I'm genuinely impressed that an animated sitcom worse and more mean-spirited than Allen Gregory exists.
Fun fact: The guys who greenlit Allen Gregory declined the Birchum pilot.
I still remember that show.
Allen Gregory? Wasn't that the dumbass cartoon that Jonah Hill as the main voice?
Yeah, that’s part of the failed “adult” animated show starter pack. Just completely cynical and mean-spirited for no reason.
Consider the source. The Daily Wire is an abomination.
So wait, Mr Birchum is a Vietnam veteran? The US pulled their troops out in 1973 meaning that even if Birchum was drafted as soon as he turned 18, he’d be at least 69 years old and would have served less than a year.
Yeah, The show's writer didn't think that much through. Even if you update it to make it look like he is from the gulf war. He would lose the motivation to gripe the common talking points because the myth of being betrayed back home wouldn't stick. It also doesn't help he has a gamer son who looks to be in his mid twenties so Birchum would have had to have him in the late 90s. So yeah the time period is just all over the place.
@kappadarwin9476 The more you think about it, having Mr. Birchum being in the Navy or in Vietnam is just a lazy excuse to make him more patriotic.
Apparently the shows been shopped around for a while (15 years seems).Its likely the writing wasnt updated.
That fits it pretty well when you think about it. Conservatives with no real experience or understanding regurgitating an ideology they're hand fed
It would make more sense if he went to Iraq, idk why they chose Vietnam. My dad went and is 76 so yeah I agree, lazy writing.
The weirdest part is that they're Vietnam veterans, which would make them at the youngest, 68. Also, "you vote for Obama because of white guilt," is sixteen years old, which shows that Carolla hasn't updated the character since the early 90s when he first wrote it.
They should’ve been desert storm vets or something.
Yeah that's what gets me. This show is so out of touch with time its hard to ignore. It makes me wonder why they didn't make him a gulf war vet instead.
I heard a theory that the script/premise of this show is over a decade old, but this show kept getting rejected until Daily Wire bought it.
Don't know if there's any evidence of that,though.
I heard that too, but Pat replied to my comment and said Birchum is a vet of Grenada invasion. So that would at least put him younger than Vietnam and would make a little bit of sense.
@@heisensaul5538 He would still be 68-69 because he would have to be at least 18 to serve.
Wait my mistake. I was off by 10 years.
Concerning what you said about participation trophies: I was asking the ref at my kid's soccer game about why they don't keep score. He said it calmed the parents down.
Entitled parents rife with poor sportsmanship are the worst and ruin everything.
The first mention of a participation trophy was about one hundred years ago. Like most of the sayings those clowns spew.
@@R.T.Logan.80 Heck, "Back in my day..." has been around forever! There was even an ancient Mesopotamian tablet that had a screed like that.
Honestly that sounds great. The main reason I can't get into sports is that people who play them are way too freaking competitive. I want to have fun moving a ball around. I really don't care if I win or lose.
I know I'm not the first to point this out, but I absolutely cannot stand conservatives' empty reverence for war veterans.
About ten years ago, i worked in a restaurant in Arizona. Met a guy in a wheelchair wearing one of those Navy veteran ship hats. Like, which boat you were on. Guy served in the Vietnam boondoggle aboard the USS Kitty Hawk. I went over to his table, we chatted about the history, the specs, some of his experiences. After cautiously asking about his obvious health issues, he told me he'd been exposed to agent orange.
I was aghast but unsurprised when he told me that more than half the serious exposure cases didn't get any payout or federal aid because they were exposed while decanting or deploying it; when the government finally acknowledged that AO was a Big Problem, they swept the Navy guys who transported and handled it under the rug. If it wasn't dropped on you in Vietnam, you just couldn't possibly have been exposed.
He told me he only wore the hat out of respect for his ship and crew, and that he started to resent anyone who thanked him for his service while a defoliant ate him alive and he lived in poverty.
He's almost certainly dead now.
I feel like Adam Corolla hasn't had a single honest conversation with anyone who actually went to war.
Man. I want to hug that veteran. The Govt. treated him and those like him like trash.
My heart goes out to guys like that veteran. Adam Carollla would drink to veterans and obnoxiously "thank" them for their service... but when it comes to any benefits they need it's suddenly "entitlements" and "government handouts" for "lazy people"
They don’t care about soldiers, since soldiers are just pawns to gain glory, power and resources like oil with war, veterans even less since they are now useless to war addicts...
My father in law was exposed to Agent Orange and it took him years to get a payout. He never wears anything to signify he’s a Vietnam Vet (except for a license plate because he thinks it gets him out of tickets 🤷🏻♀️) and doesn’t like it when people thank him for his service. I always found that odd but my husband who is an Air Force veteran from Operation Iraqi Freedom is the exact same way.
My uncle was a Long Range Recon Patrol Marine in Vietnam and either got AO dropped on him or just walked through it while on missions. He didn't get any medical payouts until 50+ years and many VA medical reviews later about a month before it finally killed him. At least his bennies still go to his widow.
If this show gets pulled early you know they'll say, "The woke left media just thought this show was being too far!".
If this show was edgy there’d be at least one Nazi right? Lol
It seems like only shows with a glimmer of promise get that treatment. Garbage usually lives forever, so yay for that trend being bucked. Or the creator reaching the limit of the effort they wanted to put in.
As a veteran, hearing Adam Carolla whinge about performative concern for veterans is incredibly patronizing. Like dude, you're not a veteran. You're an entertainer who grew up in Hollywood. It would be fine if he was just playing a character, but it's obvious that the character is 100% a self insert.
“Entertainer” is a bit of a stretch if this show is anything to go by.
The only funny thing Adam Carolla ever done was Spanky Ham from Drawn Together
Stolen valour is literally a textbook conservative trait
@@moxxy8626 The Man Show was enjoyable. He hosted that with Jimmy Kimmel.

“Bring me in for season 2.” Oh honey, no… love yourself, you don’t deserve that.
I was watching another video where someone was reviewing episode 2 of Mr. Birchum and he's a teacher in 2024 who is a Vietnam vet? Nam vets are like 75 now. How old is he supposed to be exactly? I would at least buy it if he was a Gulf war vet. That would make sense. Btw, I feel like this show could lose The Daily Wire a ton of money, but they wouldn't care b/c it seems like they live in this fantasy world where it's more important to "own the libs," than to do something that makes sense. I'm not sure how many episodes are in the first season, but gods speed on getting thought it man :p
Their mentality is like this. If things lose money that they don’t like, it’s because it’s “woke” and everyone hates that. If it’s something they like that loses money, it’s because everyone is too “woke” and society is crumbling.
The Mr. Birchum character is something Adam Carolla made in the 90s so it made much more sense back then. He was so lazy to even change anything
I was thinkin the same thing. Veterans of what?
The show actually specifies Grenada I believe. And then they cut to a clip of them losing to women in a game of volleyball.
@@myfriendscallmepat Ok, I guess that more sense. I heard he was a Vietnam vet and my first thought was he'd be like 75 lol Pat, what do you think will happen first: A joke that you will actually laugh at and think is funny or you will lose your sanity watching this crap?
I’m really enjoying hearing about how god-awful these dumb shows are that conservatives cook up. I’m also glad I don’t get to experience them directly, and just through you, sorry. But I appreciate you!
They're Far Right nuts, not conservatives. Conservative is your granny complaining about your haircut. These clowns, however, want to send immigrants to camps, and usher in the Republic of Gilead. They're patently *not* the same thing. Not even close.
fun fact(?): Apparently one of the animators has spoken about the project. Despite the Daily Wire promoting the show as being made 100% in the USA, it was animated by a portugese (or spanish, I can't quite remember) studio. And it was assigned to a team consisting of mostly queer people, who, understandably, had zero motivation to work on it. They just did what they were told to make some money.
Amazing.
Apparently Ladyballers tried to get actors for background work, but when they found out what the movie was about, most of them quit.
Also every single actor they asked to take a lead role said no.
yeah, im not gonna fault them for taking the job...sometimes you gotta work on shit to make ends meet and hopefully get better projects in the future
How remarkably appropriate to the brand of patriotism this show fronts for.
Conservative humor is just bitching about people they're bigoted towards and slandering celebrities and politicians that they hate.
One of the core rules of comedy is "never punch down," but punching down is the only thing conservative comedy does.
In a nutshell
@@rushguy1 This is a relatively recent change. Throughout most of history most humor was punching down. I agree that punching down is mean spirited and wrong, but this is a fairly new development and most conservatives still aren't on board with it.
Calm down snowflake. Conservative humor is actually pretty funny, and no one is above criticism. It's only a problem when it's mean spirited and not funny.
@@Lexivor thats definitely not true. there are jokes from thousands of years ago shitting on a king or politician equivilent or shitting on their friends who they see as equal. also if conservatives werent on board with it they probably would consider not calling themselves conservative since their party is a complete joke and it would make them look like bumbling morons. but conservatives have ALWAYS punched down i dont know where you get your info.
You know it's rough when a dead pan joke about something literally having bells and whistles is the funniest joke in two whole episodes.
and they had to wreck it by having the self insert conservative do not steal OC explain the joke at the end
yes mr birchum I know the popular household saying about things with too many features
And logically it doesn't even track. An audible tone for a sensor drone makes some sense. It means you don't need to look down when piloting it and can concentrate on what you are doing. The point of "too many bells and whistles" is it's distracting. If you have one of each, and this is too many for a device that essentially pilots itself then driving a car might be too much for you to handle. It's not like you are piloting a 747 here!
Yeah it's the only part that made me chuckle
And you can tell they were slapping each other on the back over this whole sequence
I'm surprised it took you 5 minutes to determine this would be the worst animated sit-com you've ever watched. 😅
The sacrifice you are making is appreciated. 😂
There was honestly a sense of palpable mediocrity that I can’t quite describe. And imminent doom.
@@myfriendscallmepat And not even the funny type of mediocrity, either
The premise alone kills it. More right-wing screaming at the clouds.
We salute this effort o7
Back in Shakespeare’s time, women weren’t allowed in theatre. So the female roles were played by men. They taught me that in high school.😑
I learned that through Veggietales, a kids' Christian cartoon.
the media trope of "we have to get one person of every major ethnicity" is so funny to me because of how often it happens 😭 like this is what white ppl think diversity is, "make sure we get a white guy as the main character then give him 1 black, 1 hispanic, and 1 east asian friend
The only time I've seen it actually work is in John Carpenter's 'Assault on Precinct 13' where the radio announcer basically says to the audience "We know it's weird that this gang is super racially-diverse but we want to have a cool action movie so just go with it."
Conservatives complain about that, but then they do it on their show. Zero self awareness.
i personally dont mind it (its somewhat realistic) but using it as a shield is not cool
I legitimately don't think I've heard the term "handicapable" used since 2014
I think the show is set 10 years ago when "Wokeness" was new and relevant.
A *lot* of DailyWire/Ben Shapiro stuff makes *way* more sense when you remember that he only really turned to conservative grift as a career after his attempt at becoming a screenwriter failed.
So he became a right-wing influencer after failing as an artist? Interesting...
Its like they were tryna make Mr birchum a rip off of Stan smith without realizing American dad is meant to be making fun of the over the top conservative dad
Mr. Birchum is Ron Swanson is you strip away his personality and likeability.
Stan can learn at least.
I have been to Vietnam and WTF are they talking about? No, all of that is wrong.
“Asia bad.” That’s all they’re trying to say
I'm impressed, the Bells and Whistles bit meets the bare minimum requirement to be consider a joke
But they felt the need to have Mr Birchum spell it out. Like this is the kind of forced contrived joke they'd have in Rick and Morty but at least it would end with Rick sighing in frustration while he lets the audience make the connection instead of going "huh just like the expression".
I would be more impressed if the joke didn’t have such a direct trail to Conservative support of baseless Capitalism. That aside, I agree, it was a running joke for me in my undergrad Physics Lab as well.
@@Jorge-np3tq rick and Morty's conquince on the world
Mr. Birchum suffers from similar issues to Velma. The main character is the producer's mouthpiece, more focused on giving the audience a lecture on the producer's political opinions, and making outdated references. And just like Velma. The only good thing that can come from a show like this is some ad revenue for UA-camrs who suffer through the show so that we as the audience don't have to.
The only triggering part of this show is how little they gave a fuck because they knew their audience doesn't care
Why would they care? All they have to do is throw in enough buzz words and recycle the same pronoun jokes and their audience will eat it up because “Haha woke bad”
crazy that they'd put their beloved heterosexual guy in the gayest military branch
Writer's trick: Instead of making a character likable, tell people they're not allowed to dislike your character by making them a veteran or firefighter.
sad that those two are lumped together. Infinitely respect firefighters more than any veterans

The play plot would have been actually interesting & have lots of opportunities for jokes. South Park would have made such an entertaining episode about this while making fun of both the left & right. They would also include some interesting social commentary.
I also thought Mr. Bircham would not like the play being about two gay guys in love. The Daily Wire always makes such a big deal if school students are exposed to gay relationships, but Bircham doesn’t care to “make a stand” against this?
Who is this show even made for? I mean, it’s nice to see mr.bircham is such a progressive guy with a very diverse friend group including a gay guy too.
Just seems so weird because it includes things that conservatives complain about like when “token POC/LGBT” characters are heavily included to “get woke points” lol
This show makes Velma look like a masterpiece.
Ok I wouldn’t go that far
@@thebois6651 heh, you beat me to it.
No, no... no...
Mr Birchum is bad King of The Hill and (insert family sitcom #25).
While Velma is bad Daria and Riverdale.
Different shite, same toilet every hour... and were gonna get more of it later...
It certainly does when it comes to animation though. At least velma has all 5 fingers.
At least "VELMA" has good animation and character design and it's only the dialogue, personalities and plot elements that are stupid.
I am actually wondering if this happens in Conservative based schools. Do they leave their students at work.
I mean they let literal children work in manufacturing plants so that's par for the course
@@ChazTheYouthfulThey even want to make it legal for adults to marry kids.
@@Genin99 Oh, it's *already* legal in their jurisdictions. Republicans are opposing making it *illegal* for an old-dude statutory rapist to get-out-of-jail-free by trapping his victim in an abusive marriage, despite (because of?) the huge amount of evidence showing the practice to be incredibly harmful in general and to vulnerable young girls in particular.
GOP never ceases to be worse than one imagines they could possibly be.
Given the number of absolutely-horrendous abuse cases coming-out of the private, unaccountable "schools" Republicans love forcing taxpayers to subsidize for their rich and bigoted donors via "school choice" policies, "leaving their students at work" is probably the safest those kids would be all day.
@@Genin99 Actually, that's already legal in 38 states, 20 of which do not require a minimum age. It's messed up.
So as a veteran i find the premise of this episode quite insulting and tone deaf. Especially when you compare it to a show like King of the Hill. America has a wierd relationship with veterans, they are appreciated, but quickly forgotten. No small amount of vets suffer feom alcohol addiction, tobacco addiction. PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and suicide rates are incredibly high, for a conservative leaninf show, you would still think you would want to talk about this in a meaningful way, rather than just...hey our troops are just teying to get free stuff and drink on veterans day. Sure maybe MR. Bircham had a good time in service, but a vast majority of veterans have some chronic illness...a show like this seems to only want to target the left. But does so by completely ignoring a lot of systemic issues and tragedies that face the men and women of service. Also again...do they not realize the irony of a navy boy liking wood... seriously who wrote this show?
First of all, thanks for your service.
Second of all, I have a suspicion that the people who made the navy veteran really like wood are the same people who have written Mr. Birchum's... *other* gay moments in the later episodes. Just a thought.
The most offensive part about the army VS navy feud is the army guys not throwing in a gay joke which shows how much the daily wire actually knows about the military
"Please clap." I hope we keep this reference alive for the rest of Jeb's life.
I find it hilarious how they’re claiming this show to be super offensive when Adam Carola already voiced a character on an animated show that actually was offensive and crude; Drawn Together.
This show’s offensiveness is on pare with those boomer facebook memes with crusty jpegs of classic cartoon characters or minions your aunt Carol and uncle Carl share.
so it's a family guy ripoff for conservatives stuck in 2016
Essentially yes! But somehow worse. Also as an aside, not to fangirl out here but I love your videos. Bully is one of my favorite games of all time and I loved the videos you made covering it :)
Hey did anyone else notice the two Asian masseuse’s were the same assets but one has on makeup?!?!
Yep I initially talked about this in the video but had to cut for time. Kwan and his doppelgänger are easily the most similar, to the point of wearing nearly identical clothing when all other pairs have both different outfits and different hairstyles. Laziness or racism, could be either tbh
This show makes me feel better about my own character writing.
Like Romeo and Juliet is already something Burchum would not have too much interest in to begin with but they needed to make it Romeo and Romeo...lol.
Honestly that seems pretty typical that someone like Birchum wouldn't give a shit about something like Shakespeare in the first place, but man try to add something gay to it he fancies himself an expert on this and how it "Offends his conservative/ Christian values" all of a sudden.
Saberspark calls this "a worse King of the Hill" and ......he's not wrong
It's actually funny to think seth McFarlane did a better job at making a political show that's all too political but technically counts since he has a liberal daughter.
Hi Pat, new viewer here, I apologize so much for tormenting you with this show. But... I just love watching people criticize trash 🤣
You're a real one though, hang in there!
many of the things Mr Birchum complains about and blames on the everlooming spectre of "woke" can actually be blamed on capitalism, but conservatives love capitalism, even when it fucks them over directly.
The Boomers actually were the most entitled and empowered generation ever and got to make the world exactly how they wanted and then they complain how it sucks
I hate commenting before I finish a video, but. When I was a kid, I had this Archie comic with a three-pager about accessibility. The concept is there's going to be a production of Romeo and Juliet, but Juliet is in a wheelchair and can't even get to the stage, so, of course, it breaks her heart. Betty takes the matter to the school janitor/handyman/mustache guy, and he immediately sees the problem and is like "I can handle this, two shakes"--and builds not only a wheelchair ramp to the stage, making it ADA compliant, but helps them build scaffolding so Juliet can reach the balcony for her biggest scene (uh, besides The Other One). It ends with everyone happy, and with the handyman having seriously flexed on both his skill and his care for the students.
So, uh, yeah, Mr. Birchum loses in every capacity to Mr. Svenson. Mr. Svenson even has a better mustache. Get bent, Birchum.
ETA: Looked it up and it's a single pager called "Getting Into the Act", and it's simpler than I thought, but basic throughline is there. Turns out it's a PSA from the Cerebral Palsy Association. Those damned woke cerebral palsy snowflakes!
ive had the "im too smart for school" conversation with my teenager, my answer was not "but the woke or not woke" or whatever. I simply explained that even if he felt like school is too easy. This is just because they are going over fundamentals that will build into larger concepts when he takes more advanced classes. In other words you will be challenged but more importantly you will be LOST if you act like you know it all already and stop paying attention. His grades started to get better as he took my words to heart. Because everyone feels like they are a genius in middle school. heck the curriculum is designed to make you feel that way. It happened to me and it happened to the ding dong that wrote this episode. They just stopped at some point. they stunted their own growth, were told they were a genius and internalized it. It's tragic really
They could've at least found someone who sounds like Vaush since they were going to basically anthropomorphize him.
I think the "gay" accent they gave him is supposed to be making fun of him. They couldn't do that with his actual voice though because it's pretty deep.
I like a show that does what it says on the tin: it looks terrible, it seems terrible, and it turns out that it is terrible.
Sooooooo you gonna watch Lady Ballers?
maybe after I take a mental health day in the aftermath of this video
This week, on Episode 781 523 of "Conservatives Making Things Up To Be Angry About"
I Googled "Mr. Birchum age", and the best result I could find said that he's in his "Early 40s". Which means he was born between 1980, and 1983. Which means that he is a Millennial himself. Pretty much older than all the DW hosts too. That's clearly shows that for the creators of this show, the term "Millennial" means anything younger than Birchum.
Just throwing this idea out there. How about, instead of "owning the libs", you just focus on making a good show?
They can’t write a plot around the PC Teacher because that would mean they’d have to make him more than a one note unfunny joke. They’d have to actually… give him a personality

Episode 3: knockoff of KotH ep. How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Alamo
It would be SO easy to make the food fight appear like an actual warzone; have someone say "cover me" before throwing a bowl of mashed potatoes; someone throws some water over some hot oil and it explodes; have the opposing side commit "war crimes" by throwing food at outside patrons; show someone with food on their face as if their face has been blown off; etc. I know that is too much to ask for the Daily Wire, but you are in a medium that allows for you to be creative and to go as as far as possible! Take advantage of that!
I hate to tell the daily wire about history, but back when Shakespeare was still alive, the women roles were all played by men in drag. Also drag has always been part of our entertainment culture.
I saw the trailer thinking it was another generic family guy clone… then the pronoun guy showed up and I was like “wait, Why are they attacking people who don’t even hurt anyone? That’s just alienating possible viewers.” After seeing it was from daily wire it made sense. And isn’t it kinda ironic how the main character is just triggered by the new generation being different?
This entire show was made by adults triggered by exaggerated situations made up in their own heads… Pronouns and gender don’t hurt them, but they’re triggered because they don’t want to understand them.
Those people hurt conservatives like Ben Shapiro by simple existing.
Anything that threatens the nuclear family, which is the backbone of every society ever presents an obvious problem.
@@TheLetterJ-c8n the nuclear family wasn’t always a thing, it’s fairly recent. So no, it wasn’t the backbone of every society. It started in the west, then with colonization expanded. The backbone of every society is WORKERS!
@@Cicada11011 I think (hope) they were being sarcastic?
@@voiceofthelegion578Only one comment from them, so we may never know
All in the Family & King of the Hill already did a conservative sitcom except for the fact they did it right & those shows were actually funny
I guess the creators saw those shows saw Archie Bunker & Hank Hill and got an idea for a character of their own. Except instead of making an interesting & flawed character they decided to make Mr. Birchum is always right & have nearly everyone agree with him except for the liberal teacher.
The worst part is a show like this could work. Have it be about 2 teachers. 1 be extreme right & 1 extreme left. Like comically extreme. Have them hate each other & constantly butting heads, but they actually care about the kids.
Like Rome & Rome play. Have Mr. Birchum want to do it exactly as written & the other teacher his idea. They make everyone around them miserable with their constant bickering
By the end of the show, they learn that men played all of the parts originally. So they compromise. They do the play exactly as written but any student can play any part no matter their gender.The play is a success.
But that's just me
But see, what you are proposing would require those at the Daily Wire to deviate from the Conservative/ anti-woke talking points. However, I don't think this could happen b/c they aren't capable of things like independent thought. They would rather "own the libs" than ever suggest they could ever be right in some circumstances too.
Nazis and conservatives think it’s too woke 😂😂
That black teacher is definitely a "DEI hire" /s
you have to keep watching...we all took a vote and one human mind must be sacrificed to chronicle this show and we all decided on you soo yeaahhh....enjoy episode 4!
Time and time again, conservative 'comedians' fail to understand.
If you have to _explain_ a joke, _there is no joke._
I hadn't heard of you until this morning but I feel so much sympathy for you, this looks painful to sit through
Why does this show have to be political every 5 seconds? Even Southpark has non political episodes?
Well, Just from the Seasons like 1 or 2 of south park
South park was much enjoy in old Seasons, when its doesn't have a political every time.
12:05 This weirdly reminds me of Alison Bechdel's autobiography, where she says that when she first started selling "Dyk*s To Watch Out For," it wasn't funny. She wasn't yet a good writer, but her target audience bought it anyway, Just to see themselves represented at that time.
I wonder if that's how the target audience for Mr Birchum feel?
Underrepresented?
If he’s an O’s fan who’s had to watch both Mr. Birchum and the past couple of O’s games, I truly admire his willpower to keep going
Let’s go O’s! The streak ended when I was editing this and I was quite demoralized
Between this show and Jerry Seinfeld, I have to wonder if... just hear me out... the problem with conservative humor might not be wokeness.
Speaking about rants. I am starting to think the main character is Adam carols himself. I heard that TMZ record adam taking his childern to a restaurant during COVID and they denied him service. Adam than went on a rant at the restaurant and they removed him. Worst of all his kids were there.
So when the girl said nice rant, Adam wants his kids to support his rants even if it humiliated them.
Dad of the month?
Will the finale have Mr. birchum be given an offer to live in Russia because Russia made him happy but refuses and stay in America and be miserable so he can whine and complain so he can sympathy from others?
How do you make Brickleberry/ParadisePD/Farzar even worse? Simple! Just be Ben Shapiro!
I'm a conservative and this show is freaking terrible. At least F for Family was kinda ok.
Our kids typically have school on Veterans Day in PA.
They’ll often have an assembly that day and bring in relatives who served etc.
Yeah I was so fucking confused when that was mentioned, I certainly had to go to school when I was growing up in Kentucky. It’s my actual birthday too, a day off would’ve been awesome :(
Wow, we always got Veterans Day off when I was a kid. Holidays suck today, no one gets them off anymore, you just get time and a half working it.
Yeah it does happen. I took a look through California schools and the majority did have the day off, but not everywhere. Those schools that didn’t almost always had Memorial Day in any event. Either way, could’ve addressed it at all in the plot, which they didn’t and I felt it was weird. Easiest layup to complain about “the wokes” running schools or something
As far as Ohio we are open on Veterans Day and we have an assembly, too. I remember in elementary school walking through the halls and seeing each grade put up a poster with pictures of their parents or relatives who were in the service.
@@BattleAxe1345 Fellow Ohioan here and we always got Vets day off of school.
I bet the reason they made the co teacher not white is because the writers saw young Sheldon and wanted a George and Wade dynamic
I think he is more of an Uncle Tom type character “he’s one of the the good ones” type of vibes and I ship him and Mr.birchum
Its so funny how Pat can point out "hey heres how this episode could be good/ funny" and seeing how adam carolla totally missed it for secretly no reason
13:29 what's wrong here is that craftsman LOVE to get oddly specific (and well defined) requirements on their work.
This should lead to a scene like: "Mr. Birchram, why are you here on the weekend?" "Your stupid guidelines said the ramp incline needed to be 10 degrees shallower, so I redid the ramp landing to make room." "Wow, thanks." "Stow it, that kid should lift more weights."
The problem is Adam Corolla doesn’t know the first thing about woodworking, and he assumes the audience doesn’t either. And he might be right.
So surface-level. Jokes like "Millennials find triggers triggering", it's so shallow it actually makes you wonder, what are people feeling triggered about?
youre braver than the entire US military for watching this
I've said this before, but I would gladly rather watch review videos of this show than the actual show itself.
I was actually a pretty big Adam Carolla fan since Loveline. I followed him to his podcast, I went to see him live, bought his 1st book, bought his 1st movie "The Hammer". After a while, I got sick of his conservative lean. My final days of being hia fan was when he gave Ted Cruz the softest interview, and then tried to excuse Dylann Roof's mass murder. It pains me to no end that he is still living in the late 90s/early 2000s...
Hey, look! 14:02 Adam Carolla involuntary caused something that made me chuckle. That's new.
8:55 ironic knowing how Vietnam’s election process is far more democratic with rich people removed from the process alongside democratic centralism
Wow!!!
A communist nation is better at elections than the US crazy!
Sarcasm btw
at this point I genuinely don't think they'll get past 10 episodes, because at that point they'll already have made all of their conservative talking point "jokes" twice over.
Wait this show is supposed to have ten episodes???? 😭
I think u should stop watching this. This show is so horrible that it might give u brain damage.
This show is the basically animating the opinions of a stereotypical racist uncle.
i found ur content when i was rly high and its now been my favorite thing to consume before i go to bed
Slay
I’m honestly just bummed Patrick Warburton is in this. I’ve always liked him in anything he’s in and now… how the cool-voiced ones fall…
The only liberal equivalent I have found is Velma...but even that feels high energy entertaining than Mr Birchum
Velma was bad yeah, but even Velma wasn't this preachy.
@@gravelmonarch EXACTLY!! what made birchum justmind numbingly boring was its preachiness!!
