Pretend Time With Nick Swardson, the new Comedy Central sketch show that premiered last night featuring that Reno 911! hooker, went gay right out of the door. With guest star Ryan Phillippe trying to get into a bar, he encounters a gay bouncer robot with a crush. Pick up line: “I can tell that you’re very wise. … Underneath your insecurity is a soul deeper than a Grand Canyon made out of dreams and whispers.” Television, now brainwashing children to be homo and robotsexual.

Brilliant!!! Gay Robot Rules….

Oh great. A lisping queen-fairy in robot form. Gay stereotype, check. Robot gag, check. This counts as good TV?

Ryan Phillippe’s ass in Cruel Intentions was the watershed moment of my gayness. Aw, memories.
That said, stupid stupid skit. Was just as dumb when it was on one of Adam Sandler’s comedy albums and I had to listen to dumb guys in high school yammer on about “robococks” and the like. Not clever at all.

Why does the robot have a lisp? Sigh such stereotypes.

Oh by Jaga. This character was created, written, and performed by a GAY COMEDIAN! Can you insecure pricks stop whining about stereotypes? They exist for a reason and what really matters is the intention with which the joke is made. Ya know there are A LOT of queers out there who fit that stereotype. You wanna join in with the high school kids bullying the lisping effeminate teenage boys into suicide?

I think Ryan deserves props for the way he handled a gay robot coming on to him. Very playful. Well, done boys.

I don’t hear a lisp or think the robot is Queeny? How is the robot Queeny?

I find that there is a melancholic element to this vid. First I wanted to comment on how it is nothing but the continuance of the gay stereotype that has been with us for many decades, since an age when it would sooner be called “the queer lampoon” than “the gay stereotype”, and rage about that. However, I couldn’t in all fairness do that; I have to regrettably admit that in this world there are simply more heterosexual people than homosexual people and that the opposite joke, aimed at a homosexual audience (straight robot and a gay victim), consequently wouldn’t do very well.
Such is the tragedy of our lonely existence. Well, you may contest that it is lonely but I find it fucking desolate.

Nice opera music by the way, anybody know what’s it called?
L.
@uu: It’s a famous duet from Delibes’ “Lakmé”, once put to very good use in “The Hunger”‘s lesbian love scene between Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon.
(And to less good use in a number of British Airways adverts.)

@L.: Thanks a million, it’s marvellous. I had completely forgotten what it was like to be transfixed by a piece of music.
L.
@uu: You’re very welcome. Your question reminded me of what it was to be transfixed by a lesbian love scene, so we’re even 🙂

@L.: My knowledge of all things TV also reminds me it’s the song in the Ghirardelli chocolate commercials.

Nick Swardson has never come out of the closet as far as I know.
L.
@Chris H: Must’ve missed those. A good thing too, since it would have made chocolate turn me into a lesbian, and I’m too used to being gay to switch at this time.

Come on guys, it’s Comedy Central. I think we all know that the humor presented on this station is rarely ever politically correct (e.g. South Park, Drawn Together). Just remember that absolutely no group is safe from ridicule when it comes to Comedy Central. So in the mean time, let’s put our protest signs down and just learn to laugh at ourselves once in a while.

“Nick Swardson has never come out of the closet as far as I know.”
True, but understandable. He’s obviously waiting until he’s done turning into Sabrina Matthews to make the announcement.
