Yeah.

Do -- do y'all remember when science was sexy? Like, do you all remember when like the sexiest thing you could be was like an astronaut or -- like, do you all remember when like (laughing). Do y'all remember when Bill Nye was getting the most pussy in America?

Like even your girl now (pointing to an audience member) like, sir, you're with your girl, Bill Nye show up, you're like "Give that [___] some pussy. He taught be about beakers and -- and geometry. That [___] really helped me out."

Science used to be sexy and then we all got our feeling hurt because we spent all this money to go to the moon only to find out the moon wasn't made out of cheese. Right? Because that -- oh, I'm the only [___] that thought that the moon was made out of cheese? (Pointing at audience member) So, sir, your grandpa didn't come to you and he was like, "The moon is made out of cheese and every night, God take a little nibble out of the moon and that's why it go from waxing to crescent to new moon." Right?

So I was the only [___] that -- if we didn't think the moon was made out of cheese (cat meows) then why we put a flag in it? All right? Why we put a flag in it if we didn't think the moon was made out of cheese?

If we didn't think the moon was made out of cheese, then why we send three white guys up there? Three white guys love cheese. You don't even got to know each other. You just put some cheese together -- (pointing at the panel) yeah, these three white guys, put cheese and y'all [___]s best friends. (Garbled couple of words).

The only people who like cheese more than three white guys is three white women but we wasn't sending them up there. Like, you know what I'm saying? I don't even know if they could drive then. Like, you know what I'm saying? I don't -- I don't know what the laws was. I wasn't born. But I -- we could have sent them up there and we just -- Buzz Aldridge (sic) that [___], he got off the plane and he licked the rock and he was like "eugh." Right?

And now we don't give a fuck about the moon, right? We don't give a fuck about going to space. Like, every year they be like "We going to Mars." Don't nobody give a fuck. We like, "Hey, [___], I ain't never seen red cheese." You know what I'm saying? Like, that shit was -- like, we wanted to go mine the moon, right?

Could you picture if we had found cheese on the moon, [___]? We would have been stealing every planet's moon. Like, [___], we would have took all eight moons on Saturn, [___]. I learned that from Bill Nye.

That's my time. I love y'all.

The comment that maybe doesn't make sense is Bill Nye teaching geometry. I've never seen the show but was he teaching geometry? That's like shapes and whatnot, right? Bill Nye was teaching about triangles? He may have been, I don't know, but I found it to be a surprising comment like Dedrick was just desperate to think of a scientific term.

Now, people, perhaps inevitably, are saying that this is Dedrick's worst set ever. But you see these comments every week. It's hyperbole. This is where scientific analysis shines. It's nowhere near his worst set. This one has JOKES. Plenty of them.

Yeah, they aren't really set ups and punchlines but they're "jokes" in the sense that Dedrick seems to think a joke exists. Just sort of a vaguely amusing concept.

And of course none of this was funny. And it dragged on forever (although, I'm pretty sure it wasn't his longest set). But for Dedrick, this is a step in the right direction. It wasn't just meandering nonsense with nothing even resembling a joke. He had a joke. The moon is made out of cheese and white people like cheese. This joke is repeated about six times but it's still a joke.

Did he steal this joke from some guy on Instagram like he did two weeks ago with that horror movie set? I don't know. But assuming that this is at least marginally original material, it's a step in the right direction.

Back when he did the same set on two different shows, I suggested that he should do the same set EVERY episode, nobody should acknowledge it, and see how long you can go before the audience riots. It could have been hilarious.

This latest...whatever it is. Maybe something slightly less than joke thievery. Concept thievery, maybe. It's just sad. He said that he was going to try something different. By "different" he basically meant to tell a joke for a change. And it seems that he couldn't do it. So he just went to Instagram for "inspiration".

But play into it. Rip off jokes wholesale. Famous jokes. He could do the seven words you can't say on television but every word is just a variation of his favorite slur. Or, "I used to do MDMA. I still do, but I used to too." Or, "What's the deal with...trail mix? Nobody goes on trails any more. They should call it...fat loser sitting on his boneless couch mix."

The alternative is to get good at comedy. He seems incapable of that. So try a different approach. Be a novelty act. That guy who "ironically" rips off other comedians. It's been working, to some extent, for Timmy No Brakes.

Wazzup?

Do you all -- do you all -- what happened to horror movies? Like -- because, like, when I was growing up, horror movies, we had like actual monsters. Like we had like Freddy: don't go to sleep in no white neighborhood on Friday. You know, you had Jason, like, don't bully fat kids, that nigga will come back and kill Chucky. Like, it was like actual scary things. Like don't go to the lake at night, there's a mermaid that's going to kill you.

And now, when you watch horror movies, they're just like, "Don't fall in love." Don't -- don't -- don't ever meet your neighbors. Nigga, the worst thing you could do is meet your neighbors. Now everybody's dead. Don't -- don't ever open up. All right? Don't ever open up. Don't meet anybody new. Don't go on vacation. Just sit in the house and hate people.

That's my time. I love y'all.

I don't normally post these on Mondays because they get lost in the spam and I should probably wait but I can't help myself. This is a historic moment. Dedrick Flynn told a joke that actually landed. I'm saying that "Just sit in the house and hate people" is FUNNY. I'm as surprised as anybody. He's done it!

And look at the format. It's totally different from his usual rambling stories about what he did over the weekend. It's a traditional setup and punchline. The first paragraph is all setup. The second paragraph is all punchline. And he builds on the punchlines. Like a comedian might do.

He was also under a minute for the first I think EVER.

As pleased as I am for Dedrick, it does raise some questions. Because this is so far removed from his normal set that you have to ask if somebody else wrote this or it's AI or what. It seems to be in his voice. So I don't know.

Somebody posted a "meme" that explored similar themes. So maybe that's where he got the concept from. Maybe. I'm not accusing him of that. But even if he did, who gives a shit? Memes are trash. Fuck memes. You can freely steal from memes.

So I'm not going to let any of this sully this fine set. It's still baffling that this is such a departure from his usual sets but if it's a genuine, conscious change to something good, I'm all for it. Keep up the good work, Mr Fat Stacks.

Starts with that Asian guy. PAINFULLY unfunny and the interview was excruciating.

Second Asian guy was only marginally better.

That fat guy, who I have no idea who he is, was horrendous. Again, the interview went way too long. And he was obviously a plant.

Not one but TWO "let's kiss some fat loser" segments. WHY does Tony insist on doing this? Who wants to watch this? And that second woman was a giant bitch who insulted that loser.

Then...oh god...that guy's...ummm...friend. Let's just move on.

That mixed race white/Mexican guy couldn't tell a joke to save his life.

AND STILL NO FUCKING DEDRICK. I'm getting anxious. Is he going to appear or not?

Even Martin was bad.

Edit: I posted too soon. Dedrick came on right after I posted this. Can he save it?

Whatchuknow about horror movies? They're not as scary as they used to be. That's my time, I love y'all.

What the fuck? Even this seems off. I haven't checked the time but it seemed to about a minute and it was mostly coherent. And just about one thing. It wasn't funny, of course, but there was a premise.

Terrible interview as always.

Edit 2: Then that AWFUL angry fat Asian woman. FUCK THIS.

Wazzup? Can I open up to you? (Points at member of the audience.)

Do you think, like, you know when you first meet, like, your friends' kids, like, they just drop a new baby, and then when you go meet the baby, you touch the baby, the baby start crying? It's because the baby remember all the nut punches you gave his father. You know, like a revenge punch. Like, they hit you in the balls so you hit that nigga, you like, "You're kids gonna feel it" but now you get to see it. Now you get to see it.

I've been trying -- I get to punch my nephews now, they like 15 years old and they get disrespectful. One of my nephews walked in the house, all the rest of them was "Uncle Deddy, Uncle Deddy." He looked at me, he was like, "What's up, Dedrick?" like I know that nigga. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not friends with you. So, like, I punched that nigga in his chest, right? And then he said, "Why did you punch me?" so I hit him again because I hate stupid questions. Right? I hate -- I hate stupid questions and I hate these little bad kids so I had to get stronger now because now that nigga taller than me.

So I've been eating trail mix so I can get old man strength. (Cat meows.) I love trail mix. Trail mix, you can eat twenty things at one time. Right? It's like a dry smoothie. Right? It's a dry smoothie. (Starts laughing at his first attempt at a "joke" during this set.) Actually, if you drink a smoothie and eat trail mix, you could have seventy-two flavors in your mouth at one time.

Trail mix is popping. It weren't popping back in the day because them niggas didn't know M&Ms have to be in there. Right? Like don't bring me -- because if the M&M's ain't in there, it's just shit from outside. Right? That's all it is.

That's my time. I love y'all.

Let's look at what he's actually saying here. Dedrick considers himself to be the uncle of the children of any woman who he knows. He established this in a previous set and he also repeated this bizarre idea in this set when he starts talking about "friends" of his having babies.

So when Dedrick talks about somebody being "disrespectful" for not calling him "Uncle Deddy", he's talking about somebody who's TOTALLY UNRELATED to him. It's the kid of some random white woman he knows. He wants these totally unrelated people to call him "Uncle Deddy." And when they don't agree to that bizarre shit, he punches them.

THIS is comedy? Why is he punching random kids in the chest? Why is he insisting that they call him "Uncle Deddy"? Where's the "disrespect" in saying "What's up, Dedrick?" THAT'S YOUR NAME, ASSHOLE. And this guy is TOTALLY unrelated to you. What are you doing?

But the drunks in the audience are somehow laughing at this.

Then he based the rest of his "minute" just on the "funny" concept of a "dry smoothie." No jokes, really (although I charitably gave him credit for the "joke"), jut a "funny" phrase.

The man does not tell jokes. I don't get it. The premise of the show is to tell jokes. It doesn't have to be a series of one-liners. He could do it in a story form. But JOKES have to be in there.

And he could have easily tightened this "minute" up by eliminating that whole weirdo shit in the beginning. It was a painfully weak transition anyway. He could have just started with, "Whatchuknow about trail mix?" and gone from there.

And speaking of how to start a set, his AWFUL crowd work has to stop. Pointing at an audience member and saying "Can I open up to you" contributes NOTHING to the set. It just makes people in the audience uncomfortable. "I hope he's not going to say any weird bullshit about punching people who are totally unrelated to him."

Imagine if the special comes out and he actually put effort into it and there are jokes and insights and social commentary. It would blow everybody away.

When I started doing the Dedrick anaylsis posts, it was kind of a continuation of my negative reviews of Heidi and Valerie Vaughn's horrendous podcast Love on the Line. I'd force myself to watch a few minutes of that podcast and then talk about how shit it is. The posts didn't get much traction other than people saying, "Who's watching that shit?"

I think that Love on the Line and Dedrick's "comedy" are about equally bad but they get much different levels of attention. When I was shitting on Love on the Line it was just for my own amusement and nobody gave a shit. But when I write about Dedrick, it just seems like I'm adding to the dogpile. And that's not good. It's not particularly pleasant to add to the mob of people wanting this guy off the show.

So if the special is good, I'd be able to inject some positivity into these analysis posts. "Okay, this latest Kill Tony 'minute' was awful but remember the Japan special? He's got it in him. He just needs to bring it to his Kill Tony sets."

It would also make the posts more interesting. We all KNOW that he's shit. What more can be said? But if somebody was defending him as being a good comedian, with some receipts to back it up, it would make for more interesting reading.

As it stands, the only people who support him give bullshit reasons like "Well, he seems like a nice guy" or "You couldn't do any better", which is shit. But if the argument was, "His special was good. Maybe we're just not fully appreciating his avant garde style of comedy" that would be engaging.

Somebody posted a picture of Zoidberg and suggested that he should replace Dedrick. You can see that brilliant post in all its glory here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Killtony/comments/1v45sjl/want_a_new_regular_to_replace_derek_why_not/

Not long after, somebody posted an IDENTICAL post but this time a picture of Sponge Bob and suggesting that Sponge Bob should replace Dedrick. That one was deleted by the moderators. You can see what remains here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Killtony/comments/1v4ox24/removed_by_moderator/

Why would Sponge Bob get deleted but Zoidberg remains? Do the moderators have some beef with Sponge Bob? Are they huge Futurama fans?

They BOTH should be deleted for being braindead bullshit. And it's not like the moderators could have missed that giant picture of Zoidberg. So what's the rationale behind any of this?

If you don't know about the alternative KillTony subreddit, it's r/killtonynew . They seem less inclined to delete stuff. Although, my point was really that both of those posts should have been deleted.

What's up?

Yeah. Your boy fresh out of the bento box.

Yeah, that was me on that AI video getting arrested in Japan. I did that. They took it away from me. But now I'm back in the greatest country in the world: United States of America. God, I love it.

What I don't like is when I landed, like, I feel like this country is getting way too soft. Like there was people trying to talk shit about me going to jail but that's not even the first time I went to jail so I wasn't that worried about it nor is anybody who loved me because everybody who I've met in my entire life went to jail. Like, that's where you go to become a stronger person.

And I knew it was a weak ass nigga commenting because he was using non-gangster words to say what happened. He was like, "Dedrick, you just squandered your opportunity." Whatever that means, my nigga. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't even -- that's the first time I've squandered.

And then I started noticing that this country is getting weaker. We got to tighten up. (Cat meows). Because I went to go look for a car and this is the first time that my license has been good. I finally got my license back good. So I went go look for a car but then I got upset and I left because as soon as he showed me the first car, he's trying to sell me a car. He was like, "Hey, sir, this car has automatic windshield wipers." Nigga, who is that for?

(Begins yelling). Is this country so weak we don't know what the fuck rain looks like? Is this country so trash that driving (garbled word) you don't know what to do when the rain starts? You hit the woof woof woof. It's -- that is right by -- look, I get it. You don't know your turn signal. I don't know where my turn signal is either. But my nigga, I've never been in a shambles be like, "Oh, it's raining. What do I do? If only technology would take over." (More garbled words).

You think jail is hard, my nigga? Let me tell you about my life. You ever drove around with no a/c? Right, no a/c, no power steering, with manual windows, going down the interstate when it start raining, nigga? (Garbled word). It's not -- that's the first thing you turn on. Now you got to reach back and manually roll up all four windows while still going seventy five fucking miles an hour. But you can't roll them up all the way because then the steam will come up and you can't see. It look like a crab boil, right? It look like a crab boil in your car.

So everybody who had no a/c know you have one shirt you keep in the back seat and then you wipe the window with that shirt. You never worn that shirt ever again.

That's my time. I love y'all.

Despite the two (sort of) jokes, I think that this is the worst set yet. Even worse than his sets that have no jokes at all.

You can see the desperation kick in when he started yelling. His internal monologue was clearly, "My material is weak, I better just get louder to compensate."

If I can say anything positive, it's that you have to admire his confidence. He goes up week after week with no fucking material but still delivers it as though it's worth hearing. As though people actually want to listen this mindless trash. More than that. He thinks that people are clamoring for this shit and that he's a big time comedian.

It's delusional. It's the proverbial house built on a foundation of dog shit. But to him, it's real and that's how he's able to get up there, week after week, bomb after bomb, and still give an upbeat presentation.

Most people with weak material are apologetic and they laugh nervously and they lose their place. Not Dedrick. He confidently bombs every week. There's something admirable about that.

What would be more admiral is preparing material and telling jokes but you can't have everything, I guess.

And there was potential. He could have gone somewhere with that "squandered" bit. But he just dropped it awkwardly and moved on.

He also should have just stopped at that squandered bit. Because he was nearly at a minute anyway. But no, he really wanted to include this totally unrelated ramble about automatic windshield wipers and not having air conditioning in your car. Nobody fucking laughed and you could see the desperation during that part of the set.

I did appreciate the bass guitar player giving Dedrick what I can only assume was a sarcastic standing ovation at the end of the set, though.

Dedrick: There’s always some Boiled Beef Boy crying in the comments

Some Guy: That’s cuz you’re not funny. You don’t even tell jokes you just rant for 2 minutes hoping someone will laugh.

Dedrick: I promise you, I haven’t even raised my voice yet. I’m loud because god want people to hear me

Some Guy: is that why Drew Nickens got more laughs than you this week? I know you got jokes in you my boi, why don’t you ever tell any?

No idea what "Boiled Beef Boy" is. His own braindead idiom, I guess.

But then the guy calls him out with the usual explanation. And Dedrick, instead of engaging with the complaint, gives this prepared line about volume which had NOTHING to do with what the guy was saying.

Then the guy, rightly, just asks for some jokes.

That's all anybody is asking for. It's completely baffling that he gets up on stage and tells NO JOKES. He claims that the jokes are in the stories. WHERE? Can he point any out in this latest windshield wiper ramble?

You'd feel bad for the guy if he wasn't a giant asshole.

Like The New Yankee Workshop but instead of making furniture and whatnot out of wood, we're taking the bones of Dedrick's shitty set and turning them into something you'd be proud to have in your home.

"I went to go look for a car but then I got upset and left because as soon as he showed me the first car, he's trying to sell me the car -- he's like, 'Hey, sir. This car has automatic windshield wipers.'"

Great. So that's the premise. What Dedrick then did is talk about how automatic windshield wipers are a technology that we don't need because it's easy to flip on the windshield wipers and then rambled about how a previous car of his didn't have air conditioning so the windows would fog up.

That's trash. But automatic windshield wipers. There should be a joke somewhere in there. I've never even heard of it.

He's right that they're pretty pointless. But we need some jokes in there.

"Automatic windshield wipers? What's next? A car with an in-built toilet and a mechanical hand that will wipe your ass afterwards for long trips when you don't want to stop at a gas station? What's wrong with peeing in a bottle like we used to do back in the day?"

That might be too long-winded and it introduces defecating to the equation, which doesn't really follow. People were rarely shitting in their cars. But it was the only way I could introduce the mechanical hand.

But there's got to some jokes in this premise. "Imagine the design meeting...", "What's even left to automate at this point...", some social commentary about driverless cars.

Or, if you don't like automatic windshield wipers, I'm sure Dedrick would appreciate some comedy help with any of the following premises that he raised:

1. Use of the word "squandered".
2. Driving with no air conditioning and this causing one's windows to fog
3. Wiping the window with an old t-shirt

"Officially a Georgian Texan! Joe the goat Rogan mentioned me?! It’s crazy how much a year can make, to go from living in my car and sleeping on couches to getting shout out from the skipper himself. I love my job on kill Tony and working for Joe at the mothership. And yes i cried when I saw this clip. He is my friend and a great guy. Thank you for paying for my lawyers! Also just know even the haters, you can follow your dreams. Yall can come try and tell a minute of jokes and take my job. But I will Dog walk you Larpers. My niece said you’re chopped/cooked/larping. Basically get real."

When you look at the poor quality of his writing, you start to understand why his comedy is so bad. Random capitalisations and just grammatically it's bad. This is a very poorly-educated guy, which shouldn't necessarily make him bad at comedy but in this case, the poor education clearly did not help.

I don't know if he's referring to his actual niece or just the child of some random white woman he knows (which in Dedrick's world makes him somebody's uncle) but the niece's comments make no sense AT ALL. Nevertheless, Dedrick found some wisdom in them.

Anyway, if you watch the video, Joe Rogan mentions "my friend Dedrick Flynn" in reference to Kill Tony. Dedrick cuts the video right after the mention of his name and then inserts some bad "Whatchuknowabout" material so I don't know the full context of what Rogan was saying but it was in relation to how Kill Tony makes big time superstars out of comedians (like Dedrick Flynn).

Joe Rogan has been unwatchable for many years, just doing the same monologue every episode rehashing Trump talking points, but leaving that aside, it got me to thinking about how fragile the "friendships" are when you're a big time Kill Tony superstar like Dedrick. I've seen a few episodes of some awful poker "podcast" that often features Kill Tony comedians and they also tend to refer to each other as "friends".

But once you're no longer selling tickets, once you're not on the same level of "fame" as these other Z-listers, you're out of the club. These people aren't going to return your phone calls any more.

So when Dedrick is finally kicked off of Kill Tony, as he inevitably will be, and he's unable to make it on his own, as he clearly will be, all of those "friends" of his are gone.

To Dedrick, who regularly boasts about all of his white friends, I think that this will be devastating. And there's no avoiding it. We can all see it coming. The only solution is to get good at comedy, which I can not see happening with Dedrick.

It's just an interesting sociological observation. I suppose that it's not much different from work friends. You go to work and talk to them and maybe go to the bar after work, whatever. But once either of you leave the job, it's done. You're not spending time with that person any more.

Did y'all know you y'all don't have to prove you're autistic to buy Legos? I didn't know that because every time I went to the Lego Store, there was always a long line of niggas buying it and then I realized it was just the person at the counter telling the nigga ringing them up how much they love Legos and everything that they build.

I went in there, I just wanted to buy these Transformer Legos that just had came out and I don't know how to put them together because I'm not autistic. It's just like -- it's just art in my house. Like it's just the same box.

So I had recently just got released from Japan, when I was in jail and I had a party at my house. And one of my autistic friends, nigga, he just walked up to me and he was like, "Hey, do you want me to put together that Transformer?" I was like, "How do you -- nigga, that was in my room. Like, how did you get back there? How did you get back there?" He was like, "I'll take it apart after if that's what you need, if you want to put it together." Nigga, I was like, "Go back there."

(cat meows)

And then after about -- like, when the party was ending, that nigga was still putting it together. I was like, "Hey, we have to go to -- like, we're leaving here." He was like, "I'm not."

So I want to -- I want to start like a Taskrabbit. like you hire people to hang stuff. I want to start that for autistic people called Finish it or Die Trying.

He's still been in my house.

I'm new to autism because I grew up black. I didn't -- I didn't -- I didn't -- just like all of a sudden, everybody who I knew was white was autistic so I thought these niggas was lying, like when they told me they all had spaceships, right?

But my ex-girlfriend, Penelope, was the first person to tell me about it. She came to me, she tell me, "Dedrick, I'm autistic." I was like, "Shut the fuck up." Right? And then, like, the next morning, we was about to eat breakfast and I saw her pour her milk in before her cereal and I was like, "Yeah, that nigga autistic. That's -- that's it. We got to put her down."

That's my time. I love y'all.

These were the problematic comments:

1. "It was just the person at the counter telling the nigga ringing them up how much they love Legos"

I understand the idea that autistic people like Legos. What I don't understand is this particular sentence about the customer telling the checkout person how much they like Lego. It's something an autistic person might do but...in the broader context of what he was saying, it just doesn't make sense. You probably have to read the full paragraph to understand (or not understand, as the case may be).

2. "It's just art in my house. Like it's just the same box."

He's considering Lego to be art. Which...you're on shaky logical ground already but whatever. But then he compares this art Lego to..."the same box". WHAT same box? The Lego box? The Lego box is art? Fuck off. None of this makes sense.

3. *"*I want to start that for autistic people called Finish it or Die Trying."

This was said after his TaskRabbit comment. I had to look up what TaskRabbit is. I guess it's some site to hire independent tradesmen. So he wants to create a site for people who want somebody else to build their Lego sets. Okay, I guess I see the logic here. Sort of. But why the name Finish it or Die Trying? Is this supposed to be clever or funny or...it's nothing.

4. "He's still been in my house."

This was just a throw away comment and I'm not even sure if I heard him right. I think he was just mumbling something to himself.

5. "So I thought these niggas was lying, like when they told me they all had spaceships"

This is in relation to autistic people. Do autistic people talk about spaceships? WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS ANY OF THIS?

It's fucking trash is what it is. This whole set is just a rambling stream of consciousness bullshit about autism. That COULD be funny, if you put some fucking jokes in there. But Dedrick just wanted to boast about all of his white friends and his white girlfriend Penelope instead. The one guy likes Lego. The woman makes cereal oddly. Ha! Get it? That's my time, I love y'all!

Absolute fucking bullshit. He told exactly ONE joke. That black autism thing. It's not novel but it's at least a recognisable social phenomena. Black people tend to get diagnosed with autism at lower rates than white people. Great. It's technically a joke. Kind of. Stick a few more in that abysmal set and you might start to look like a comedian instead of a hobo rambling nonsense on the street corner with his pants down.

It's from 2016. He's with a young Carpetbagger, that guy with the weird old tyme moustache (Tim Tracker, I guess), and his girlfriend or something, and they're visiting a Noah's Ark theme park of some description. And Adam treats it as totally normal, totally historically accurate.

I particular enjoy the dinosaur section. There are dinosaurs on the ark. I don't believe that any mainstream Christian organization believes this but this ark is in Kentucky and presumably the product of some fringe snake-handling group or the like.

At 4:45 he can't even identify the animals that he's looking at (I'm thinking that they might be entirely fictional) but there's no questioning of anything. He just accepts that these fictional creatures were probably on the ark.

I remember watching this video at the time and thinking, "This is not right." Adam is walking through this ark and talking as though this is somehow historically accurate. Not only the fact that there's a giant boat with two of every animal on board but such nonsense as "a woman feeding a dinosaur-type creature a carrot." There's no critical thinking at all. He just accepts all of this as true. But the story is nonsense obviously scientifically but also theologically.

He seemed to have very peculiar beliefs, no doubt influenced by that Southern tent pole revivalist father of his.

Unbelievably, this place is still open.

Go to about 6:30

They got me at the border. I messed up. I was hanging out with some fun people in Florida and they had like -- basically, we had like a sandbar party and stuff but I was the only person with my backpack. So people was like, 'Can I put my stuff in your bag?' I was like, 'Yes because I'm a kind person and you guys are taking me to the sandbar party'

But then, like, somebody's molly got -- stayed in the bag and I had, like -- I didn't know about it until, like, I went through four TSAs.

Nobody asks any follow up questions to this because they all know that it's complete bullshit. Dedrick wants us to believe that somebody hid drugs IN HIS GRILL CASE. For what purpose? You're going to do drugs after it was in his disgusting grill case? And he'd be in fucking Japan anyway, while you're still in Florida. It makes NO SENSE.

I used to watch his videos even though the only person I was familiar with who he talked about was Adam. Adam would refer to CamoDave as a "troll", even though that's not...right. CamoDave just reviewed people's videos, positively or negatively, depending on the quality.

Anyway, are there any watchable alternatives to CamoDave? I saw some guy but he was awful.

(Holding a drink, slurring his speech) How you all doing? Konichiwa, bitches. They can't hold me down.

Guys, I don't mean to bring down the mood. I do want to do a toast. While I was locked up, somebody very near and dear and important to me passed away. So if you've got a drink, can I ask you to just hold it up? Here's to a very good friend of mine, here's cheers to Spirit Airlines.

I miss my dawg, man. I just -- I thought I was in jail before but, nigga, coming back to those -- nigga, thirty dollars to go to Florida, nigga? That's -- now we got to pay full price because y'all got rid of some -- nigga, I love Spirit. All right? I know -- I know a lot of y'all love customer service but nigga, I don't. I don't want to talk. I don't want to meet everybody on the plane. I'm already hungover or high. Like, I don't want to say "hi" to -- you can't say "hi" to niggas on Spirit. You walk up and they're just like, "Sit down, nigga." (cat meows) "Don't lock eyes with me, nigga."

And then people -- people will talk bad about Spirit. They'll be like, "They always fighting on Spirit." Yeah, nigga. Ain't no wi-fi. We got to watch something. Like -- this is a good fight, nigga. And I'm over there taking over the commentary like Joe Rogan, you know what I'm saying, like a UFC event.

Y'all, that's my minute. I love y'all. Welcome back.

This was the shortest "minute" he's done yet, at least as far as I've been analysing these. It was actually almost within the normally allotted time.

And he had jokes. He crammed a fair number of jokes into that 82 seconds.

He also crammed an enormous amount of n-words. Probably his highest n-word ratio to date.

I didn't find any of it funny but it at least somewhat resembles a comedy set, for once. Almost. So good for him.

But then we get some bonus material. Dedrick reads some jokes that he wrote while in jail. He's really spoiling us.

Hey, Joe. What kind of bird don't fly? (Doesn't wait for an answer because this is an obvious playground sort of joke). Jailbird.

At the jail in Japan, they don't use lotion so it's been 17 days since I've used lotion. Yeah, I'm ashy as fuck and it costs a thousand yen to get a bottle of lotion and it takes seven days to get there. Nigga, I'm so white that if I was in jail in the US, they would just let me go. Not because I'm white but because of who my father is. And I'd call him by his first name: Joe Rogan. (edit: Joe Rogan obviously isn't a first name, but whatever)

When I got arrested, I looked at the cop and I was like, "You're making the biggest mistake of your lousy career."

I'm so white, the people on Reddit finally like my jokes. Bitch ass niggas.

I'm so white, they have to call me the Snowstorm of Austin, Texas.

I'm so white, Uncle Lazer would just want to smell me.

I'm so white, we really doing it, Redban.

I read 17 books in jail because that's all the books they had in English. And one of them was the bible. I read the bible front to back and it's just a whole book about God putting his favorite niggas in jail. So I am a main character for Christ's --

Like I get some comments like, "I would never go to jail." Yeah, because you're too weak and God knows that you'd kill yourself. The Devil was like, "We're going to lock that nigga up in Japan" and God was like, "Dedrick?"

Jail is tough but for three summers I drove with no a/c and my power steering was out, in the South. This is what scientists call Hotlanta, if y'all have ever been out there. Or as the black locals call it, "Oh, hell no."

This one ain't got nothing to do with it. It just says, "Granola tastes like outside."

Or a number 2 pencil, when you ain't study for -- you just...

Also, nuts are just wood berries.

Then he hands the paper to an audience member and says that it will be worth something some day. More delusional boasting about his comedy stylings.

He just dropped the number 2 pencil joke. Left us hanging. I'm sure it was hilarious, though.

But he didn't really talk about anything that happened. Half of it was just "white people are different from black people" "jokes".

The interview goes on and he talks about how Joe Rogan and Tony helped get him out. Why? If he's such a baller like he talks about every week, why couldn't he just pay for a whole team of Japanese lawyers?

Anyway, at the time, I thought that the set and the alleged Japan jokes were pretty disappointing. And the "Japan" jokes were bad. But the set itself, although not funny, at least showed promise. For the first time, as far as I'm concerned. So maybe he's going to turn things around and start telling some fucking jokes for a change. Maybe that Japan special he's talking about is actually going to be worth watching in some tiny capacity.

(Laughing). No, I love you guys.

Life advice, relationship advice: if you love a girl, if you seriously love a girl, stay away from the girls that don't like her because they'll pick out a flaw to ruin your entire relationship.

Last year, I thought I was going to marry this girl Brittany and I went to my best friend Emily and I was like, "I think I want to marry Brittany." And she said, "Ugh, you mean that giraffe-neck bitch?" I was like, "She ain't got no -- she ain't got no giraffe neck."

But I went to Instagram immediately and I started scrolling. **And I was like, "Damn, she do got a long ass neck."**¹ **She even got like freckles on her neck, it look like the spots like on a giraffe.**² **She do be deep throating, you know what I'm saying?**³ Like she do it effortless. **"Why she eating salad in every photo?**⁴ **Bitch a herbivore."**⁵ **Also, this is just one picture.**⁶

Which, it don't get you to right then. You kind of barrel (sic) it inside you and then it's like you get into a fight and you come out and she like, "I don't understand why you can't take out the trash." **I'm like, "I don't know why I'm dating a zoo animal, Brittany.**⁷ **You know, you been a real bitch since you lost your job at Toys R Us."**⁸ Because Geoffrey -- the Toys R Us -- you know what I'm talking about?

So we broke up. That's my time. I love you. Thank you.

Wow. There were so many attempted jokes here that I had to use superscripts to indicate them. Unfortunately, it was all mean-spirited, playground type bullshit commenting on somebody's appearance.

Never a good idea to comment on appearance because it opens yourself up to criticism. And Dedrick isn't exactly Denzel Washington. He's not even Harold Washington. Actually, that's unfair to Harold Washington, former mayor of Chicago. He was a reasonably attractive man. But Dedrick is not.

It was just more boasting about his self-loathing preference for non-black folk. How many of his stories have been about black friends or black girlfriend or whatever? Zero. The few times when he does mention black people, it's negative. He says that they don't know how to act around people, for example.

But there were attempts at jokes in this set so that's a step in the right direction. And none of his usual n-word ladden bullshit. He didn't yell. Everything made sense. So I hesitate to call it the best set that he's ever had on the show, because it was just mean-spirited bullshit, but it clearly was. I don't buy the claim that his first set was good. It wasn't. It was shit.

I did laugh at the unintentional joke of "barrelling" something inside of you. I didn't catch it the first time but listening to it more carefully, he 100% says "barrel". Not "bury". Dedrick appears to have at least one barrel hidden in that gut of his.

Oh, and then the usual awkward interview afterwards. Dedrick complained about a woman who apparently had her arms crossed. He's done this before. It's not a good idea to alienate the audience.

Then he says, "You paid to be here, I'm paid to be here" which is more of his usual boasting about how "rich" he is now. Fuck off.

But the most important part of this painfully unfunny interview was, "Bitch, I'm headlining in Okinawa, Japan. Deddy world-wide! I'm getting arrested in Japan."

It's an interesting prediction of the future. He manifested it. Now he should start manifesting some comedy.
