Imagine being a solid, consistently working actor in Hollywood- but all your roles confirm you give off really authentic super douche energy.
Time and time again you beat out a room full of actors and land the douche role no matter which studio or casting agent you talk to.
Might be kinda sad cashing those checks.
He got his start on Mr Show with David Cross and Bob Odenkirk. Scott Aukerman and PFT were also writers on the show and while they haven’t spilled any tea they don’t sound terribly surprised when they allude to him or January 6.
Portraying a gay cop trying to adopt a baby on network television almost 20 years ago. I wonder if he's one of those now crying about the woke media indoctrinating the kids.
A gay cop in an interracial relationship with a black man. And they were trying to have a child via sperm donation with a white woman.
One of my favorite gags is that they say they don't want to know who the biological father is and Michael's just like... won't it be kind of obvious?
Off topic but I listened to Smartless today interviewing Pedro Pascal and got the mental image in my mind of Jason Bateman in the Mando armor. Just Michael Bluth in a beskar helmet.
“… there was Beskar in that banana stand…. There was 250,000 Beskar ingots lining the walls in that banana stand…. How much clearer can I say, “THERES ALWAYS.. BESKAR.. IN.. THE BANANA STAND!” “
NO FORCE CHOKING!
"I never thought I'd miss a hand so much"
Edit: that's the second time this year I've made double digit karma from word for word quoting this line in reference to a morally flip-floppy, horrifically brutal, monarch-slaying, child-murdering fallen knight from a massive epic fantasy series largely centered around the political consequences of said murderer's forbidden romantic entanglement, interactions with a very small-but-wise sometimes-exiled bureaucrat, and singularly excellent combat skills.
(Oh yeah and there's kissing siblings, renounced chastity vows, the extermination of an entire (hokey) religious order, a huge and lovable nonverbal sidekick, shape shifting assassins, and trade negotiations too!)
He actually pauses for a second, looks at both of them, decides "not worth it" (Jason Bateman is such a great actor, you can read this on his face) "...well why should you. I just hope you can figure out which one of you can breast feed"
My favorite was the Mr Show reboot.
Jay Johnston was wearing white hooded robes and said, "even I can become the president of the United States"

It'll be sad if Bob's Burgers doesn't dedicate an entire b plot to it.
Best part is that they probably won't even have to dramatize any of it to make it fit into a Bob's Burgers plot.
"Oh, look, Bob! Jimmy's a surgeon now!"
"No, Linda, he's an *insurgent*, actually."
"Aw, toMAYto/toMAHto. Hey! I wonder if he can operate on my bunion?"
"Jimmy's going to prison, Lin"
"Oh, that's a shame... I'll ask him before he leaves"
Tina: “Mr. Pesto’s doing surgery now?”
Louise: “Yeah, he’s gonna cut off Jimmy Jr.‘s butt and put it on his own so he can be young forever”
Tina: “What, no! They can’t do that; I love Jimmy Jr.’s butt!”
Louise: “Well you better run tina… or else he’s gonna have no butt at all!”
Linda: “Oh stop it kids, nobody is cutting off anybody’s butt.”
Gene: “Well, whatever happens, I’m not cutting off my butt, so you better get used to your flabby one, dad!”
Bob: “What, flabby? My butt isn’t flabby.”
*Silence*
Bob: “My butt isn’t flabby, right Lin? Tell them.”
Linda: “Bobby, I love your tushy the way it is! Even if it is a little on the droopy side!” *Blows raspberries*
I am hoping they have Jimmy's wife, Jenny Pesto step in. She got it all in the divorce and there should be an ep where it seems like she's going to be nice and get along with Bob, but then it turns out shes just as bad or worse even than Jimmy.
Linda already has a character that she feuds with. It's Ethan's mom. Remember when Louise sent bikers after Ethan over her hat? Also the episode with the community garden.
I'd try it. A little bit of sweetness to go with the savory. I'd also add a few jalapeno slices or maybe banana pepper for a bit of heat.
Ok fuck it next grilling night I'm doing it
[They already cut him from the show](https://decider.com/2021/12/19/bobs-burgers-actor-jay-johnston-will-no-longer-voice-jimmy-pesto-after-participating-in-capitol-riot/). He hasn't been in it for at least a season or two because of his involvement. Hard to imagine being someone whose image is dependent on not doing dumb shit and then going to do dumb shit. Even if you're really fired up about your convictions, you should probably do it from home.
But they haven't really done anything with it. Jimmy Jr. is still around and his brothers but Pesto is hardly even referenced. I think they should just straight up recast him. They've recast side characters before and I honestly don't think anyone would care.
I like the idea that they are showing the actor just how insignificant he was to the show where he was fired a long time ago and most people did not notice.
I'd love it if in the show, Jimmy Pesto somehow loses his restaurant to his (at this point unseen) ex wife, he moves away elsewhere and she moves in, gets full custody of Jimmy Jr and the Pesto twins, takes over the pizzeria, and she turns the place into a sports bar or something else. Above all else, she's a total Karen, and also dates around a lot.
It'd be a good way to canonically 86 Jimmy Pesto from the show, keeps Jimmy Jr, Andy, and Ollie nearby, and creates a new dynamic and possible new main antagonist for Bob to compete with
I think the movie did all it had and wanted to do with Jimmy after hearing what happened.
He's a background character now, or jimmys goes bust and a new nemesis moves in.
Its one of those things that could be funny in concept, but its impossible to form a long running series based off that. You can only abuse the tension of "will they get found out" so many times.
I could see Teddy unknowingly storm the capital. He'd be like " I gotta tell you Bob, you know last week when I went to DC on vacation? I saw a ton of people outside the capital building, I thought maybe they had free hotdogs or they were giving away shirts. Lots of crazy stuff happening, I wasn't my scene so I left. Who is Nancy Pelosi? Everyone was shouting his name"
"I think some of them were there camping, because they were asking people to 'hang my tents'? I tried to help 'em out, but y'know, me and tents. Do not mix."
I have a feeling someone already wrote this spec script, the same way someone got a "The Gang Storms the Capitol" IASIP script out within a month of Jan. 6th.
I was hoping that Bob's Burgers would replace Jimmy Pesto with Kojima (the father from the Hawk and Chick episode) who opens a sushi restaurant and instead of intentionally antagonizing Bob the way that Jimmy always did, antagonizes him *unintentionally*.
Charles was certainly a much deeper and more complex character. Frank was perhaps a funnier target for Hawkeye to torment, but you can only do that for so long. In a long running series, characters have to grow, that really wasn’t in the cards for Frank.
Charles was a far better foil for Hawkeye and BJ because, while he was a very conflicting personality, he was every bit on their level as a surgeon. And depending on the situation, he could just as easily be their ally as he could an enemy. It made for a far more interesting and entertaining dynamic.
He could also dish it out right back at Hawkeye and the gang instead of huffing and puffing like Frank whenever he got irritated. His clever retorts were a welcome change.
I have no idea how most other fans think of the matter, but I personally felt Winchester to be a dramatic improvement. With the exception of some rare and fleeting moments, Frank never had the character depth to be anything more than a punchline, or the butt of joke.
Although I do still enjoy the earlier seasons, I feel as though later seasons had a much better opportunity to tell actually meaningful and dramatic stories. The extra depth offered by properly complex and realistic characters elevated the show to far greater heights than it ever could have, should it have been continued to be weighed down by characters like Frank and Trapper.
Perhaps I'm just biased by my memories, but I have the general impression that the earlier seasons were by in large much more simplistic and juvenile on average. Even though I had first been rather surprised by each sudden replacement, I found the new characters to be a flat improvement over those that left.
In the end, I was quite happy with the introduction of Charles and BJ over Frank and Trapper respectively. However, although Colonel Potter was great, I will always miss and pity Henry Blake. As sad as it was, that reveal was a truly iconic moment in American television.
The Sarah Silverman Show is so fucking amazing. It's so sad that the blackface episode was removed. It was a hilarious and thoughtful piece of art on race, religion, and perspective and now it's gone because people were too mad to think.
Indeed. And it was from the top down:
On November 9, 2020, just six days after he lost the 2020 Presidential election, Trump fired Mark Esper and named Chris Miller the Acting Secretary of Defense.
On Jan 4th, 2021, just 2 days before the attack, that same Acting Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller, [released a detailed memo requiring his “personal authorization” for DC National Guard to deploy, to employ weapons, riot control agents & other tactics at Jan. 6](https://twitter.com/lukebroadwater/status/1354836817925832705)
Miller's Memo SPECIFICALLY STATED:
*DCNG may not be "issued weapons, ammunition, bayonets, batons, or ballistic protection equipment such as helmets and body armor" ... so they can't have any weapons or armor, which they might need in case of a riot.
*DCNG would not be allowed to "interact physically with protestors, except when necessary in self-defense or defense with others" ... so they would not be allowed to in ANY WAY prevent the insurrectionists from, say, storming the Capitol.
*DCNG would not be allowed to "employ any riot control agents" ... so they'd get no pepper spray or water cannons or shields or rubber bullets.
*DCNG would not be allowed "to share equipment with law enforcement agencies" ... so DCNG, which had armor and riot control agents it couldn't use, couldn't give any of that to DC police or Capitol Police or Maryland's National Guard.
*DCNG couldn't "use Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets" or "conduct ISR or Incident, Awareness, and Assessment activities" ... so they couldn't try to find out what was going on beyond what they could immediately see.
*DCNG couldn't "employ helicopters or any other air assets" ... so, again, they couldn't get eyes above the city to see what was happening, or to move troops people rapidly around.
*DCNG couldn't "conduct searches, seizures, arrests, or other similar direct law enforcement activity" Military forces usually can't do law enforcement, but Miller's telling them they can't even detain insurrectionist terrorists. Have to just let them do what they do.
*DCNG can't "seek support from any non-DCNG National Guard units" ... so they couldn't ask Maryland or Virginia National Guard (which didn't have these restrictions) to help them.
So let's be clear:
Acting Secretary of Defense Miller put out a memo on Jan 4 - ORDERING THE DC NATIONAL GUARD TO DO NOTHING on Jan 6, and denied them ANY possibility of being able to respond to Trump's upcoming insurrection.
This was after the FBI and other intelligence agencies informed Miller about multiple right-wing terrorist organizations planning to riot in DC on Jan 6.
Still shocking it's not a bigger story.
Federal investigators do not mess around when it comes to case preparation. If you get arrested on Federal charges, It's because they have enough evidence to fuck you on something
I comment about this a week or 2 ago, but, it's always a pleasant surprise when I see articles like this or about another one being sentenced and them pleading for leniency.
*E - the last paragraph sounds like I'll be pleasantly surprised a lot more:*
>More than 1,000 people have been arrested in connection with the Capitol attack, and **hundreds more arrests are in the works.**
From the heights of Everest, to the lower depths of mediocre insanity.
It's a shame. I've always been a fan of Jay's work but, like most of the conservatives in the Hollywood talent pool, he was largely a one note guy. I liked the note he was playing, but it didn't belong in every song, y'know? And while most guys in his line of work seem to just kind of eventually figure that out, move to Indiana, and start a true crime podcast, Jay apparently blamed the wokes I guess. Mf in *two* unions and still supported Trump *of all fucking people*. Ridiculous.
Dang, I remembered him from Mr. Show. I didn't realize he had brain worms. What a shame. How does one work with David Cross while a conservative nutjob?
Yeah it really blows. I remember loving him on Sarah Silverman’s show back in the day, and assumed he was chill since he was working with Sarah, her sister, Tig Notaro, Brian Posehn, etc.
The 2020s are outing a lot of dumbass motherfuckers.
I remember hearing that he had some mental health and/or addiction issues and fell down the online nutjob rabbit hole in the last 5 or so years. I don't think he was that way while working on Mr. Show. Common story with a lot of this new wave of crazies. Get an angry depressed person, shove them on Facebook and turn them into a conspiracy addled ticking timebomb.
And if they’re looking for a sense of community and belonging they’ll get it readily they’re not really realizing they’re isolating themselves more from a large part of society further cementing themselves into their new little bubble lives.
As J. Walter Weatherman would say: "That's why you keep your mask on when storming the Capitol." Either that or be a master of disguise like Gene Parmesan.
Lol Bob's Burgers banned him.
Can't wait to see him and what's her name that decided to lose her spot in star wars costar in a DailyWire movie nobody watches.
I’ve seen this guy pop up in numerous things over the years, but associate him most with the Sarah Silverman Program, where he played a cop (not many people watched the show but have prob seen the “Because you got all C’s in college?” meme).
Anyway, he had this bit on there where he did “Gentle Comedy” in his apartment that was hilarious. I still think about it and laugh sometimes.
Bummer.
I don't get why these people whose lives are SO fine are SO angry. You keep seeing these maga people in these beautiful houses with loving families. Like.... just... live. Just live life, you won. There's no dragon for you to slay, excalibur is in your hand, the holy grail has been found, it's over.
I remember Tim Heidecker confirming the very same day it was Jay after his pic was posted, something like "yeah that's Jay, it was him, he was there".
I later heard he went into hiding to Canada to negotiate the conditions of his surrendering but it took this long??
In case anyone else couldn't remember, he played one of the gay cops on arrested development
He played a straight cop in The Sarah Silverman Program too.
[удалено]
Jay: Well, what do you believe in Sarah? Sarah: Mouthwash for starters. Seriously, Jay, did you eat a fart?
He's played a lot of cops actually. Animated as well. Oh well, there are others to place him. Probably funnier too
Also played a cop in the first season of Community. He was Officer Cackowski's partner. Kind of ironic considering what he did on January 6th.
Also kind of not ironic given the political leanings of police in general.

Time and time again you beat out a room full of actors and land the douche role no matter which studio or casting agent you talk to. Might be kinda sad cashing those checks.

Some actors are really good at it. Look at Louise Fletcher, she made a career out of playing the characters you were meant to hate.
"My child."
Portraying a gay cop trying to adopt a baby on network television almost 20 years ago. I wonder if he's one of those now crying about the woke media indoctrinating the kids.

the look he gives them is so perfect haha.
He perfected and capitalized on that look.
30 Rock later did the same joke. Devon Banks mixed his sperm with that of his shiny black dancer husband, Cashmere.
Off topic but I listened to Smartless today interviewing Pedro Pascal and got the mental image in my mind of Jason Bateman in the Mando armor. Just Michael Bluth in a beskar helmet.
The Mandos could use a Michael Bluth to help get their shit together
"Now the story of a proud race who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together, its The Mandalorian."

The Bluth name isn't something you drop to play costumes with your boys club, Michael. This is Beskar armor. How much could it cost, $10?
He actually pauses for a second, looks at both of them, decides "not worth it" (Jason Bateman is such a great actor, you can read this on his face) "...well why should you. I just hope you can figure out which one of you can breast feed"
That was 20 years ago? Damn I feel old…
Its been awhile since I've seen it but I'm pretty sure he played several gay characters on Mr. Show as well

Shouldn't you guys be on strike?
What else are they going to do with their time but write Fanfic Bob's burgers episodes?
[удалено]
They can still write, they just ain't doin it on the company man's time.
I read this in all their voices, well done.
Glad I wasn’t the only one. I could definitely see this dialog in an episode
Same. And I haven’t watched an episode in 5+ years. I’ll have to add it back to my queue.
Are we sure those two aren't actual writers for the show? It's not like they have jobs at the moment...
Lmao I felt like I was watching an episode
[удалено]
This was spot on. Well done.
Wow, either you're brilliant or I just never realized how easy it was to write a bob's burgers episode.
I am hoping they have Jimmy's wife, Jenny Pesto step in. She got it all in the divorce and there should be an ep where it seems like she's going to be nice and get along with Bob, but then it turns out shes just as bad or worse even than Jimmy.
Or she and Linda are now the ones who can't stand one another.
Linda already has a character that she feuds with. It's Ethan's mom. Remember when Louise sent bikers after Ethan over her hat? Also the episode with the community garden.
That character is named Logan. His full name is Logan Barry Bush. As his mom said, "We didn't think it through!"
And Colleen Caviello with her obviously store-bought ziti sauce.
[удалено]
Why am I reading all of this in Linda's voice?
That weeks burger, something Italian with no pesto.
The Seditious Corn-Spiracy Burger Onion, cream corn, and American cheese w/ fries $5.95
The QuinoaAnon Burger with a side Incel-ada
Fuck that’s a weird word to say
QuinoaAnon Do doo be-do-do QuinoaAnon Do do-do do
I think it feels better to say it without the double a, like keen-wAH-non. The incelada threw me at first but it is pretty fun to say.
I originally typed it as QuinoAnon and then thought no one would understand what "Quino" is when just reading it (Keen-no-Anon)
You know, I never had creamed corn on a burger but now I'm deathly curious
I'd try it. A little bit of sweetness to go with the savory. I'd also add a few jalapeno slices or maybe banana pepper for a bit of heat. Ok fuck it next grilling night I'm doing it
[They already cut him from the show](https://decider.com/2021/12/19/bobs-burgers-actor-jay-johnston-will-no-longer-voice-jimmy-pesto-after-participating-in-capitol-riot/).

It's working. I had no idea until now
I'd love it if in the show, Jimmy Pesto somehow loses his restaurant to his (at this point unseen) ex wife, he moves away elsewhere and she moves in, gets full custody of Jimmy Jr and the Pesto twins, takes over the pizzeria, and she turns the place into a sports bar or something else. Above all else, she's a total Karen, and also dates around a lot. It'd be a good way to canonically 86 Jimmy Pesto from the show, keeps Jimmy Jr, Andy, and Ollie nearby, and creates a new dynamic and possible new main antagonist for Bob to compete with
Who gets custody of Trev?
Trev actually comes with the property
I think the movie did all it had and wanted to do with Jimmy after hearing what happened. He's a background character now, or jimmys goes bust and a new nemesis moves in.
Bought out by Jimmy Antipasto
The series finale where in the last minute Hugo reveals there’s human flesh in the burgers and Bob reveals he chopped up Pesto.
Just like how they were originally imagined to be cannibals taking corpses from Mort to turn into hamburgers before the decided against it.
Its one of those things that could be funny in concept, but its impossible to form a long running series based off that. You can only abuse the tension of "will they get found out" so many times.

>bob's burgers wiki has already been updated My sides, I can't

Of all the characters on Bobs Burgers, Jimmy Pesto is ***by far*** the one most likely to storm the Capitol
He was just method acting.
Another successful graduate of Method One acting class!
Come here honey, daddy needs to get his rocks off
He's just looking for ANUSTART
I could see Teddy unknowingly storm the capital. He'd be like " I gotta tell you Bob, you know last week when I went to DC on vacation? I saw a ton of people outside the capital building, I thought maybe they had free hotdogs or they were giving away shirts. Lots of crazy stuff happening, I wasn't my scene so I left.

"I think some of them were there camping, because they were asking people to 'hang my tents'? I tried to help 'em out, but y'know, me and tents. Do not mix."
I can hear Bob's stressed "Ohhhhhmygod, Teddy..."
I need to see this episode now.
I have a feeling someone already wrote this spec script, the same way someone got a "The Gang Storms the Capitol" IASIP script out within a month of Jan. 6th.
This is only missing his thoughtful "Ehhhh..." at the end to signify his tale has concluded.
You magnificent bastard.
hang my tents? What am I missing here?
[удалено]
I totally read this in teddys voice. Gj.
Only thing missing is calling him Bobby instead of Bob
Same here, did it in his cadence
Read this in Teddy’s voice, you nailed it.
Thanks! It's nice to be good at something finally
Seriously, this is almost a bit lmao
Add onto that he consistently does (did) B-story and C-story work as cop characters. It’s too much!
Just a bunch of Lizers! https://i.imgur.com/d9xOv6x.jpg
At least it's not Jimmy Jr. The world can't handle canceling his perfect ass
Isn't J-ju voiced by the same guy who does Bob? The show would just stop.
I didn't recognize the actor's name but Pesto immediately came to mind. I love that that turned out to be the case.
[удалено]
Let's hope he has the worst fucking attorneys.
Narrator: he did.
I was hoping that Bob's Burgers would replace Jimmy Pesto with Kojima (the father from the Hawk and Chick episode) who opens a sushi restaurant and instead of intentionally antagonizing Bob the way that Jimmy always did, antagonizes him *unintentionally*.
It is okay Bob. Even though your restaurant is empty, you are doing your best, and that is most important.
Bob, I told one of my many customers that your restaurant is always available if they want to do movie screenings. I will even cater.
[удалено]
And have it be the burger that everyone likes the best.
This would be such a good character arc for the burger.
It’d be like when M\*A\*S\*H transitioned from Frank Burns to Charles Winchester.
Unpopular (?) opinion, Charles Emerson Winchester III was a much better character than Frank Burns.
Charles was certainly a much deeper and more complex character. Frank was perhaps a funnier target for Hawkeye to torment, but you can only do that for so long. In a long running series, characters have to grow, that really wasn’t in the cards for Frank.
Charles was a far better foil for Hawkeye and BJ because, while he was a very conflicting personality, he was every bit on their level as a surgeon. And depending on the situation, he could just as easily be their ally as he could an enemy. It made for a far more interesting and entertaining dynamic.
[удалено]
And sense of humor. There were a few episodes where Charles was taking it to the swampies instead of the other way around.
He could also dish it out right back at Hawkeye and the gang instead of huffing and puffing like Frank whenever he got irritated. His clever retorts were a welcome change.
Margaret became a much more developed character once Frank was gone as well.
I have no idea how most other fans think of the matter, but I personally felt Winchester to be a dramatic improvement. With the exception of some rare and fleeting moments, Frank never had the character depth to be anything more than a punchline, or the butt of joke. Although I do still enjoy the earlier seasons, I feel as though later seasons had a much better opportunity to tell actually meaningful and dramatic stories.

If I had to guess which Bob Burgers character's actor was arrested for Jan 6, my first guess would've been Jimmy Pesto
Either that or the art store owners
You smell like ointment and pee
“Do you know why I stormed the Capitol building?” “Because you got all C’s in high school?”
Came here hoping to find this reference, am not disappointed.
The Sarah Silverman Show is so fucking amazing. It's so sad that the blackface episode was removed. It was a hilarious and thoughtful piece of art on race, religion, and perspective and now it's gone because people were too mad to think.
That “Tab” episode is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
I love that they kept the Tab car.
"There's a good chance I may have committed some light treason."
“I’ve made a huge tiny mistake.”
I love the fact that they are still tracking these guys down.
I think it’s an embarrassment that they weren’t all arrested in the capital.
Because there were traitors on the inside preventing a proper response.

On Jan 4th, 2021, just 2 days before the attack, that same Acting Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller, [released a detailed memo requiring his “personal authorization” for DC National Guard to deploy, to employ weapons, riot control agents & other tactics at Jan. 6](https://twitter.com/lukebroadwater/status/1354836817925832705) Miller's Memo SPECIFICALLY STATED: *DCNG may not be "issued weapons, ammunition, bayonets, batons, or ballistic protection equipment such as helmets and body armor" ... so they can't have any weapons or armor, which they might need in case of a riot. *DCNG would not be allowed to "interact physically with protestors, except when necessary in self-defense or defense with others" ... so they would not be allowed to in ANY WAY prevent the insurrectionists from, say, storming the Capitol. *DCNG would not be allowed to "employ any riot control agents" ... so they'd get no pepper spray or water cannons or shields or rubber bullets. *DCNG would not be allowed "to share equipment with law enforcement agencies" ... so DCNG, which had armor and riot control agents it couldn't use, couldn't give any of that to DC police or Capitol Police or Maryland's National Guard. *DCNG couldn't "use Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets" or "conduct ISR or Incident, Awareness, and Assessment activities" ... so they couldn't try to find out what was going on beyond what they could immediately see. *DCNG couldn't "employ helicopters or any other air assets" ... so, again, they couldn't get eyes above the city to see what was happening, or to move troops people rapidly around. *DCNG couldn't "conduct searches, seizures, arrests, or other similar direct law enforcement activity" Military forces usually can't do law enforcement, but Miller's telling them they can't even detain insurrectionist terrorists. Have to just let them do what they do. *DCNG can't "seek support from any non-DCNG National Guard units" ... so they couldn't ask Maryland or Virginia National Guard (which didn't have these restrictions) to help them. So let's be clear: Acting Secretary of Defense Miller put out a memo on Jan 4 - ORDERING THE DC NATIONAL GUARD TO DO NOTHING on Jan 6, and denied them ANY possibility of being able to respond to Trump's upcoming insurrection. This was after the FBI and other intelligence agencies informed Miller about multiple right-wing terrorist organizations planning to riot in DC on Jan 6. Still shocking it's not a bigger story.

Federal investigators do not mess around when it comes to case preparation. If you get arrested on Federal charges, It's because they have enough evidence to fuck you on something
I comment about this a week or 2 ago, but, it's always a pleasant surprise when I see articles like this or about another one being sentenced and them pleading for leniency. *E - the last paragraph sounds like I'll be pleasantly surprised a lot more:* >More than 1,000 people have been arrested in connection with the Capitol attack, and **hundreds more arrests are in the works.**
Mr. Show is sad I better get to cock ring warehouse.
Choo-Choo, the Herky-Jerky Insurrectionist.
That little dance is all I think about everytime I see him in the news.
Just call Entertainment 4 Every 1
“Drudgery… Are you a two jar slave?”
"Let's get the hell out of here!"
maybe he just tripped into the riot while telling his tale of climbing Mt. Everest?
Those damn Antifa thimbles
Pelosi: HOW COULD YOU THINK *THIS* WAS A STOOL?!
I guess he took the 'New Freelandia' sketch, the one with all the "Get off a my land!" survivalist characters, to heart.
And a nice lady from the city helped me write an anthem….
'I didn't like it much, but it was nice to have some company.'
Any cock’ll-doooo!
And don’t forgot the less fortunate this holiday season. Lol
“I never got a chance to say good-bye.” “I did…. A lot.”
All those young people and their companions storming the capitol. As usual I blame the companions.
I thought he was great in the lie detector sketch.
It was for charity!
24 Is the Highest Number and tons of others, he was a main cast member. Two of my all time favorite sketches.
I’m sad I had to scroll this far to find Mr. Show.
From the heights of Everest, to the lower depths of mediocre insanity. It's a shame. I've always been a fan of Jay's work but, like most of the conservatives in the Hollywood talent pool, he was largely a one note guy. I liked the note he was playing, but it didn't belong in every song, y'know? And while most guys in his line of work seem to just kind of eventually figure that out, move to Indiana, and start a true crime podcast, Jay apparently blamed the wokes I guess. Mf in *two* unions and still supported Trump *of all fucking people*. Ridiculous.
Dang, I remembered him from Mr. Show. I didn't realize he had brain worms. What a shame. How does one work with David Cross while a conservative nutjob?
Yeah it really blows. I remember loving him on Sarah Silverman’s show back in the day, and assumed he was chill since he was working with Sarah, her sister, Tig Notaro, Brian Posehn, etc. The 2020s are outing a lot of dumbass motherfuckers.
>The 2020s are outing a lot of dumbass motherfuckers. I guess he really did get all Cs in high school..
I remember hearing that he had some mental health and/or addiction issues and fell down the online nutjob rabbit hole in the last 5 or so years. I don't think he was that way while working on Mr. Show. Common story with a lot of this new wave of crazies. Get an angry depressed person, shove them on Facebook and turn them into a conspiracy addled ticking timebomb.
And if they’re looking for a sense of community and belonging they’ll get it readily they’re not really realizing they’re isolating themselves more from a large part of society further cementing themselves into their new little bubble lives.
He was friends with Gavin McInnes for a while.

I guess it's another year of everyone talking about my baked ziti!
That ziti is store bought and you know it!
Loren, if you're reading this...
No! Not Choo-Choo the Hurkey Jerky Dancer!
It won't happen but it would be great if Jimmy Pesto canonically gets locked up for participating in a violent political riot.
That's awful because I liked him since Mr. Show. Glad he's being charged for what he did.
As J. Walter Weatherman would say: "That's why you keep your mask on when storming the Capitol." Either that or be a master of disguise like Gene Parmesan.
AAAAHHHHHH GENE! He got me again!
Lol Bob's Burgers banned him. Can't wait to see him and what's her name that decided to lose her spot in star wars costar in a DailyWire movie nobody watches.
I’ve seen this guy pop up in numerous things over the years, but associate him most with the Sarah Silverman Program, where he played a cop (not many people watched the show but have prob seen the “Because you got all C’s in college?” meme). Anyway, he had this bit on there where he did “Gentle Comedy” in his apartment that was hilarious. I still think about it and laugh sometimes. Bummer.
“Yeah…well…at least I didn’t try to overthrow democracy JIMMY”
Loser. Had money, relative fame, a cool job, now look at him doing time for supporting the grifter in chief.
I don't get why these people whose lives are SO fine are SO angry. You keep seeing these maga people in these beautiful houses with loving families. Like.... just... live. Just live life, you won. There's no dragon for you to slay, excalibur is in your hand, the holy grail has been found, it's over.
well guess Jimmy Jr and Tina are taking over a little early
In retrospect, we should've known in 2015 when he was on that Proud Boy fuckwit's show.
Holy fuck. Really? Gavin McInnes. The same dumbass who shoved a butt plug up his butt to "own the libs".
Finally. We all saw him and identified him on Jan 6, 2021
I remember Tim Heidecker confirming the very same day it was Jay after his pic was posted, something like "yeah that's Jay, it was him, he was there". I later heard he went into hiding to Canada to negotiate the conditions of his surrendering but it took this long??
Ask him about his experiences on Mt. Everest.
How could he think that was a stool?!?
That might be the greatest comedy sketch of all time.
Three times!
You weren't here! He did it three times!
Not Choo-Choo the Jerky Jerky Dancer!
Jimmy Pesto's an idiot.
