Schaub's Comedy Special: Gringo Papi

[CannotWin]

I approve of this feud. Borracha Bless.

 

[usernamee]

How did he realize upon hearing Schaubs comedy that it was best avoided, when he didn't understand it? The joke doesn't make sense.

yeah he managed to fuck that up, should've just posted the meme

 

[Phisher]

I’m drunk posting on sherdog.

You're not alone.

I've never understood "haters," I've never understood what gives people any sense of satisfaction/superiority from shitting on someone, but it's all the more embarrassing when the person getting the hate is laughing their way to the bank. That said, Schaub is a special case. Why there isn't a sense on here of "He's one of us/He's our guy" with him coming from MMA and now being so successful is surprising/confusing to me. Why such intense hate? It can't just be because you don't think that he's funny. Instead of Sherdog rallying around a former fighter making good outside the ring/cage, Schaub has become the Sherdog whipping boy. Can you guys explain this shit to me?

From my perspective, here's a dude who by all accounts should never have been as successful at MMA as he was but who had legit success, then he creates a huge podcast and starts an entirely new career, and all the way has been humble and grateful, he has taken and continues to take his lumps, he has seized opportunities but has still opted to take the hard road and is doing shit the right way to improve...but nobody is rooting for him. Not only does nobody on this entire site seem to want him to succeed, everyone on here seems to want him to crash and burn so that they can piss on his ashes and laugh while doing it. What's the deal? Is the guy fucking Chappelle? Of course not. But should the fact that he started a brand new career and is learning and growing as a comedian before our eyes - whereas none of us saw the first 5-15 years in the careers of pretty much any major comedian ever - really be the source of such perversely vitriolic glee?

Sherdog was always an online bastion to me, a place that was better than every other Internet forum/message board. But when it comes to Schaub, reading shit on here is like reading the worst Twitter or Reddit threads. He gets you guys riled up like a fucking pro wrestling heel.

Schuab is disliked because of the impression that he hasn't had to work particularly hard for the things he's achieved, yet he regularly bigs himself up about how much of a hard worker he is. Unless we include hanging around with buddies and chatting shit, or shilling for different companies on a podcast "hard work", I don't see how he's such a hard worker.

Brendan seems like a guy who won the jackpot twice - first being born with clearly excellent genetics and athleticism - You can't reach the heights of MMA like he has without being gifted - And then a second time when Joe Rogan essentially handed him an identity and career as a podcaster/"comedian" - a thing any one of us would love to be. And Schuab jacks himself off about being a "hard worker" but is that really hard work? It's like morality being that which you do when nobody is watching, hard work is work you put in that is hard, doesnt pay off immediately, maybe it's even demeaning - like struggling with addiction and living on the street, or working at PF Changs for shit wages and no respect. Spending time making TV shows and hanging out with comedians, even if you spend a lot of time doing it, is never going to meet that, real, definiton of "hard work."

So we have this charmed guy who is an elitist asshole, talking shit to homeless people like they are literally sub-human while he boasts about being a hard worker. That's a really shitty look.

Add to that his comedy is absolutely not funny at all and is likewise based on demeaning others through simplistic racist tropes and it's pretty obvious why people dislike him. He comes off as the worst kind of priveledged asshole. Not only does he have a lot to be thankful for, he also regularly boasts about how hard he works AND he talks shit about and discounts people of a lower socioeconomic status.

"hater" is a totally inappropriate word. I'm proud of Sherdog for disliking him for these reasons.

 

[BoomStronk]

To further my above post, I find this quote applicable.

Shuab being not funny and Schuab being an elitist dickhead who dismisses people who work minimum wage jobs are intrinsicly tied. There's a reason most comedians are poor or from minority backgrounds.

 

[Black Paladin]

How did he realize upon hearing Schaubs comedy that it was best avoided, when he didn't understand it? The joke doesn't make sense.

Even if you don't know a language very well, the unenthusiastic, nervous, and/or nonexistent laughter during a comedy session really requires no translation.

[Phisher]

He isnt just sherdogs whipping boy he is hated by thousands of redditors something like 60k iirc and 2 other mma forums I got to. there is also a group of youtubers than hate him and comedians seem to hate him too.

Yeah, that Fighter and the Kid subreddit is something else. Went from a fan forum about the podcast to being dedicated to shitting on Schaub.

The only other sub like it is Dave Rubin's.

Also the lack of talent. Most successful people have connects and privileges meritocracy is a sham. Most people who cite hard work are being misleading because no one is going to say "my success is because i happened to be in the right situation" they want to pretend it was inevitable. But that doesn't mean the successful people aren't smart or have talent they are just lucky. Some level of competency or talent needs to be paired with all that shit. Schuab has none of this the dude is so incompetent he leaked his benafactors affair on a podcast(Rogan should get sainthood for supporting Schuab after that tbh, that's loyalty damm) by mistake. He is the MMA version of Jar Jar Binks.

Wait did he really talk shit to homeless people? Schuab seems more like an oaf doesn't seem like the meanspirited "hunting homeless people" type. If he was born 3 inches shorter there's a high chance that'd be him but he doesn't get that. It really says something about a person if they're frustrated about something and their first target are the most vulnerable and marginalized people in society who've probably never heard of him.

TFATK subreddit call themselves homeless cats because what Schaub said.

"people that talk shit on the Internet, I look at them like they're homeless, like they're a cat that has a profile, you simply do not maddur"

 

[Bullitt68]

He knows all of these people because he is friends with Rogan. Have any of these people publicly cosigned his comedy?

Not sure what "cosigned his comedy" means. Nobody is out there talking about how he's the next Bill Burr. But everybody enjoys working with him, people like Schulz and Distefano helped out on his special because they like and respect him. If that counts, then yes, a lot of people have cosigned his comedy. Comedians like that, who've been hustling for years and years and know every bump on the rough road to success, they know what the grind is like and they can see Schaub traveling the same road and taking all the same bumps, and so they like him and respect that he's doing shit the right way and not big-timing it.

Rogan did his boy a solid and hooked him up for a Showtime special

See, now a comment like this shows me how little you know/care about what actually goes on in the comedy world. Rogan not only didn't hook that special up for him, he didn't want Schaub to do it. He wanted Schaub to take an even slower route and just slowly build material in clubs. In Schaub's shoes, here he is two years in and he's getting money thrown at him by Showtime. Of course he takes the opportunity. But even then, he had no delusions of grandeur; he didn't suddenly start strutting around like he was in the same league as someone like Segura. He knows exactly where he is and he has very shrewdly figured out a way to both try to craft a new career and make money, but the fact that he's making a living as a comedian and making a better living than other open micers because of his generally higher level of fame hasn't gone to his head. Me, I respect that: He makes the most of every opportunity, he doesn't let his opportunities go to his head and delude himself into thinking he's one of the big boys, and he helps people coming up because he knows how fortunate he is to be in the position that he's in. Where exactly is he going wrong here, because to me, he seems to be doing everything right.

it does not appear to have gone well since his next special was released on YouTube

This is another comment that has me convinced that you don't actually follow comedy and therefore have no idea what's happening in that industry, as virtually everyone now is opting to produce and release their own specials on their own YouTube channels rather than give up control and a piece of the pie to other networks/platforms.

Amazon Prime also classifies Schaub's last special in the horror genre.

With killer jokes like this, you're definitely in an excellent position to shit on Schaub

MMA forums in general hate him because he pretty much snitched on mma streaming.

I'm going to blow past this because I don't care about it...

I did like him when he first started the podcast then I realized his technique analysis is word for word ripped from Luke Thomas and other youtube channels. The way I found out was really by accident. I was super sick in bed and just had Youtube playing all day. I heard one podcast and Schaub was breaking down Mcgregor. I fell asleep and woke up to another random channel I don't subscribe to break down the fight. Shaub was word for word stealing content from smaller MMA analysts.

...this is bad but it has nothing to do with comedy, so it's not relevant here except to fill in the larger context of why some people may hate him as much as they do, though in-fighting between MMA "pundits" nearly all of whom are pretty damn bad couldn't matter less to me...

I finally stopped listening when he spoke about his girlfriend's grandmother dying and used that opportunity to name drop his CBD company. Something about she was dying but the CBD kept her living longer.

...the only clip I've found on this has him saying explicitly he has no idea if CBD helped her as she was living out the last year of her life with cancer, he just wanted to think that it helped (which goes back to an experience he had with it seeming to help his son, which there's a clip of him discussing when he was on Your Mom's House).

Still not seeing the worst human being to ever exist on planet Earth, but you guys do you...

Schuab is disliked because of the impression that he hasn't had to work particularly hard for the things he's achieved, yet he regularly bigs himself up about how much of a hard worker he is.

The fact that every comedian compliments Schaub on grinding and doing things the right way, while it's only random anonymous people not in the business who post on Internet forums who say that he doesn't work particularly hard, should say all that needs to be said on this point.

Unless we include hanging around with buddies and chatting shit, or shilling for different companies on a podcast "hard work", I don't see how he's such a hard worker.

You realize that this could apply to every comedian with a podcast, right? What's the difference in your mind then between Schaub and Distefano, or Schaub and Schulz, or even Schaub and Rogan?

Brendan seems like a guy who won the jackpot twice

So it's resentment/envy that fuels the hatred? Isn't that sad?

Joe Rogan essentially handed him an identity and career as a podcaster/"comedian"

You realize that Schaub and Callen's TFATK was exploding in popularity even before Schaub stopped fighting, right? It's not like Rogan himself created the podcast, ordered Callen to allow Schaub to be on it, and paid minions to watch it to drive up YouTube views.

hard work is work you put in that is hard, doesnt pay off immediately, maybe it's even demeaning - like struggling with addiction and living on the street, or working at PF Changs for shit wages and no respect.

This is a ridiculous stipulation for liking someone successful. Rogan didn't struggle with addiction or live on the street. Do you hate him, too? In Leonardo DiCaprio's first year as a working actor, he got on Growing Pains and landed the lead role opposite Robert De Niro in This Boy's Life. Do you hate him, too? Additionally, even by your own standards here, why does Schaub struggling to make it as - and ultimately failing at becoming - a pro football player not count? And why does Schaub then struggling to make it as - and ultimately failing at becoming - a champion MMA fighter not count? And why does Schaub going all over the country and playing at every comedy spot and experiencing his rough sets just like every other comedian not count either?

Spending time making TV shows and hanging out with comedians, even if you spend a lot of time doing it, is never going to meet *my super strict, really just to exclude Schaub from qualification definition of "hard work."

*FTFY.

So we have this charmed guy who is an elitist asshole, talking shit to homeless people like they are literally sub-human while he boasts about being a hard worker. That's a really shitty look.

Not sure what this is in reference to, but Schaub living in LA is far from the only person to voice their discontent regarding problems involving the homeless there.

Add to that his comedy is absolutely not funny at all and is likewise based on demeaning others through simplistic racist tropes and it's pretty obvious why people dislike him.

"Simplistic racist tropes"? Jesus, you sound like a woke columnist critiquing stand-up comedy as if under the misapprehension that it was meant to be a Ted Talk. You know they're jokes, right? Funny or not funny, that's for each of us to judge based on what tickles our funny bone. But the vast majority of jokes are predicated on racist and sexist tropes. Seems a weird way to approach comedy.

Not only does he have a lot to be thankful for, he also regularly boasts about how hard he works AND he talks shit about and discounts people of a lower socioeconomic status.

Woke political shit notwithstanding, actually watch Schaub on any podcast and he's extremely grateful and he always makes sure to voice his thanks and appreciation to people like Rogan, Kreischer, and Segura. That's part of the reason that they all like him: Because he has a lot to be thankful for and he expresses his gratitude.

"hater" is a totally inappropriate word. I'm proud of Sherdog for disliking him for these reasons.

 

[SL1200]

If you guys hate him so much why do you spend so much time watching what he does and discussing it here? It's a tad less sad than the losers on reddit.. but not much
