Seems like it’s meant to suggest it was a comic idea mailed in by a fan. But, I don’t believe that’s something Larson actually did/does, so the joke is that he takes fan submissions, no matter how absurd - perhaps commentary on his own work not always making sense?
I did that too, sort of- I added recommended and popular lists to add the pilot episode of shows… and now my disks are constantly at 99.9% full. I delete things I’m never going to watch and it clears space to get more. Some of the content is pretty good and I update the “monitor” settings to get the rest of the show.
Anything I know I want to watch, I set to higher priority.
I’m gonna set up overseerr at some point to help “cycle out” content
Oh I’m definitely not trying to make a statement about gender identity or any sociological ramifications thereof - at least, I don’t mean to. In not thinking about my comment that way when writing it, I hope there isn’t a mean-spirited reading of it!
I was thinking more in the realm of comedy, how jokes are constructed, and what makes them funny or interesting. This classic line from a legendary comedian has recently had a new wrinkle added to it, and I find that interesting. I am curious to hear Izzard’s take on it, if indeed she’s even given it a second thought. (I imagine she has, but I wouldn’t dare assume to know her mind)
Hope that makes sense. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
