Arrested Development actor Jay Johnston arrested in connection with January 6
After years of speculation, the FBI has apprehended Mr. Show's Jay Johnston
Aux News Jay Johnston
After two-and-a-half years of jokes on podcasts and Twitter about actor Jay Johnston’s participation in the January 6 insurrection, the FBI has arrested Johnston, charging him with felony obstruction of officers and several misdemeanors, according to NBC News.
Johnston’s alleged participation in the riots has become a hot topic of conversation within the comedy world. In addition to being a whispered in-joke on the Comedy Bang! Bang! podcast, Johnston was banned from appearing on Bob’s Burgers in December 2021. Johnston previously voiced Jimmy Pesto, Sr., on the animated series.
In March 2021, the FBI tweeted photos of a man, inspiring comedy fans around the world to post, “Holy shit, is that Jay Johnston?” Later that year, speaking to the director of one of Johnston’s latest projects, The Daily Beast reported the actor’s presence in the riots that killed seven, injured and traumatized hundreds, and threatened to overthrow the U.S. government. “I asked him about it,” said Lucas Astrom, the director of the indie comedy Wing Dad, “and he said like, yeah, he was there, and he believed there was fraud and just wanted to show his support.”
The Daily Beast reported what could easily be assumed about pretty much anyone wrapped up in the riots, with Johnston’s friends and colleagues telling the website that he had fallen down the right-wing rabbit hole in recent years. As is typically the case, those close to Johnston told The Daily Beast that his interest in extremist politics coincided with serious personal issues, leading him to the ugliest locations online, including an appearance on Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes’ show in 2015.
Before ruining his life by waging war against woke mind virus, Johnston had an envious filmography of roles in some of the most influential comedies ever, including Mr. Show, Arrested Development, The Sarah Silverman Program, and Bob’s Burgers.

They just need to lean into it and hire Huey Lewis to voice Pesto.
Bad news for Baby Num-Num.
It’s going to be difficult for him to enter a plea because every time he starts talking he falls backwards into a display rack full of thimbles.
That’s how I’ll always remember him…that sketch lives in my mind nearly 30 years later.
someone should make a movie about that
Now we’ll never get to hear the end of the story!
This is how
“whatta boob!!!”
He’ll be okay.
comment of the week
But is there an extradition treaty from Mt. Everest???
Idiot! How could you think that was a peaceful protest?
But..but whutaboud Black Lives Matter?!?!?
lulz
Are we all that surprised? After all, this is the same guy who held Santa Claus hostage for decades.
So many terrible things he did on shows.
he was also the Vaunnie’s Mustardayonnaise Abe Lincoln
Yep, that commercial was pretty much how he thought 1/6 was going to go for him
“LET’S GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!”
You’re one of the good ones.
Is Trev gonna take over Pesto’s Pizzeria?
That would be hard to explain with Jimmy Jr. and the twins still around, unless they introduce their mother.
Just say Pesto abandoned his family to explore his Neapolitan heritage. Bob could really use a win.
No he died in a sexual misadventure at the club where he was Baby Num-Num. He was NASTY
Just say Pesto abandoned his family to explore his Neapolitan heritage.He’s going to be searching a while, seeing as his real last name is Poplopovich.
I’m a few seasons behind on Bob’s Burgers, do they just not have Jimmy Pesto around in the new episodes or did they recast him?
He didn’t show up this season. They certainly haven’t had anyone else cast in the role yet.
He doesn’t show up at all. The twins/Jimmy Jr. are still around, but presumably their dad is busy doing stuff that doesn’t involve storming the capitol.
I think they only spoke one once this whole past season. I noticed a lot less focus on the other kids at school, which I’m fine with. Never liked them anyway.
In the movie, he was just in the background once, no speaking lines. Not in the show since 2021. I would think that they would recast if they need him, but the character had become tired as it is (nothing against Johnston’s acting, the writers had run out of ideas a while ago for him and Bob’s conflict).
They recast someone for the movie, Hader’s character? It was really jarring.
Yeah, I think that’s a character they could just cut. The interactions with him are among my least favorite parts of the show. Mostly they were funny for other people’s reactions, like seeing how desperate Bob would be to show him up or how desperate Trev would be to get his approval.
got his ass
It took long enough. I can now comfortably assemble the Mr. Show Tier List of Diamonds and Douchebags. (Hint: kinda 50/50 depending on whether Sarah Silverman got enough sleep that morning.)
Who else is on the douche list?
Pit-Pat
Take it from me, I love you!
Ernie the excitable British TV salesman for the Super Pan.
Your shouldn’t trust British people and you shouldn’t listen to pans.
Yeah I wanna know too. Or maybe I don’t. Jay and Sarah are enough. David Cross isn’t a douchebag so much as kind of a jackass. And I will not hear slander against Bob.
I assume Jack Black is a Diamond
Johnston’s friends and colleagues telling the website that he had fallen down the right-wing rabbit hole in recent years.
You don’t go down the rabbit hole unless you want to go down the rabbit hole.
Honestly, I wish that were true, but it’s not. Behind the Bastards did an excellent podcast on how YouTube’s algorithm does this: it literally almost seduces people with gentle content, then more extreme content, then to crazy…it’s a step-by-step process, and you really can start out kinda ok and end up nuts in QAnon. If you’re not the brightest bulb to begin with, I would guess it’s easier still, but pretty much every content engine on the web is designed to slowly pull even smart people to extremes, because extreme people spend way more time clicking and add up to way more ad revenue. It’s fucking grim, and the only way to guard against it is to be aware of it. I don’t think most people really understand that the internet is not their friend.
Honestly, I wish that were true, but it’s not. Behind the Bastards did
an excellent podcast on how YouTube’s algorithm does this: it literally almost seduces people with gentle content, then more extreme content, then to crazyHorseshit. The algorithm suggests the videos, but you have to click on them yourself. I’ve seen some of those same videos come up on my YouTube feed. I just didn’t click on them.
I’ve never really used YouTube except to watch SNL, so I honestly don’t know: I thought unless you choose otherwise, it autoplays the next thing? If that’s incorrect, please let me know, but otherwise I can see a lot of people leaving it on like shitty hopeless TV back in the day.
I thought unless you choose otherwise, it autoplays the next thing?
You can turn that off, and even if you don’t, there’s still about 10-15 seconds before another video starts to autoplay when you can cancel it. The next video that autoplays will be related to the video you just watched, which means you have to start the “chain” yourself by clicking on one of these videos. So you don’t go down that rabbit hole without taking the first steps yourself.Think of it this way: I can’t just sneak up behind you and tie you up with a rope, because you’ll resist being tied up. The only way I can tie you up is if you allow me to tie you up.
“I’ve never really used YouTube except to watch SNL”
Oh, well then, certainly thanks are in order for you offering your opinion on something you admit you don’t know anything about. Great.
Fucking asshole.
Video 1: “You agree with A [some entirely reasonable thing], right?”
You: “Well yeah.”
Video 2: “If you agree with A, you’ll certainly agree with B [some other generally reasonable thing].”
You: “Sounds about right.”
Video 3: “The thing that sucks about B – it’s great, but some people don’t like it and want to get rid of it, and that makes me sad.”
You: “Huh that kind of sucks.”
Video 4: “I am getting increasingly mad about B being attacked and also you agree with C, right?”
You: “Guess I kind of do.”
…
Video 17: “Jews are pushing the conspiracy that the Earth is round and they’re going to force your kids to be trans, so time to start killin’.”
You: ::starts cleaning your new AR-15 for the fifth time today::
This is pretty much exactly how BTB painted the progression. Each video is a gentle nudge further along, and for people who aren’t great critical thinkers, I think it’s got to be seductive to gradually believe that you’re learning “secrets” no one else knows. Used to be these kinds of people would just read Dan Brown’s books and never shut up about them, but this is much more dangerous.
Wow. You didn’t click on videos? Someone award this man the medal of honor.
Not only that, but you also have to choose to believe the crazy things you see online. YouTube isn’t some magic memory wiping / brainwashing machine that overrides your critical thinking skills and forces you to accept anything you see on the screen as fact against your will. If you’re an adult who got radicalized by a bunch of alt-right YouTube videos, it’s because you wanted to believe what they were telling you and you didn’t want to check the veracity of it.
I watch only queer, feminist, fashion, and make-up videos on youtube. I have been offered the worst most bigoted things imaginable in the suggestions area. Same with Facebook. This is 100% purposeful to radicalize people into voting GOP to benefit the wealthy who own these companies and to also keep them on the “outrage pipeline” for ad impressions. With GOP leadership these companies and wealthy get less taxes, less regulations, less democratic action against them, more entitlements, etc. In capitalism, profit and power are the only goals, and this method gets them both. In capitalism, if genocide becomes profitable then capitalists will attempt genocide. Its a philosophy with zero ethics. So yes, people absolutely do get forced down this rabbit-hole. These companies understand the psychology of outrage and manipulation. After a while if all you see is how evil liberals, racial minorities, queers, and Muslims are then eventually you’ll internalize it. From a profit making perspective it must pay off well. Imagine not only getting ad impressions from all this outrage but also benefiting at the polls as well. This is why all social media pushes right-wing narratives and platforms right-wing bigots, as long as they don’t cross some red-lines. Note how much Twitter does this and what the main motivations of Elon buying it must have been.
I watched one, ONE Joe Rogan video because he was interviewing Leah Remini about Scientology and my Youtube recommendations the following days were appalling. I had to block, block, block to purge all taht shit from my feed.It’s definitely designed to turn people evil.
You’re lucky. I’ve block any video containing Joe Rogan or Andrew Tate shit, even reported them as missinformation, and YT still recommend those video every day. And sports… wtf I just watch a video when Charles Barkley got ping pong ball drop on his head and suddenly every sports from soccer, baseball and cricket recomended on my video.
Ugh, sorry to hear. But, yeah, it’s no mystery how people get radicalized in no time thanks to the sinister, shitty algorithm.
Fuck you, you don’t get to blame the algorithm for SHITTY PEOPLE being SHITTY PEOPLE.
You just proved my point: You chose not to click on those videos. The algorithm suggested them, but you chose not to click.
That’s not how a rabbit hole works. The whole point is that social media algorithms subtly and incrementally push you toward certain material by recommending similar videos. It doesn’t start with clicking on an Andrew Tate video. It usually starts with something innocuous in a certain genre or videos about a certain broad topic, and ends with a YouTuber telling you the deep state is real and that there’s no way Joe Biden won the election. But unless you know to stay away from that type of content, it’s hard to realize you’re being radicalized. That’s why it works.
“It’s definitely designed to turn people evil.”
No, it fucking isn’t. YOU clicked on a Joe Rogan podcast ABOUT Scientology. YouTube made recommendations based on what YOU clicked on.
Gee, my YouTube Autoplay bounces from Linus’s Tech Tips to Red Letter Media to LegalEagle to Todd in the Shadows to Defunctland to Wha Happun? to….Every time there’s something political on YouTube I tend to avoid it even when it’s from Devin J. Stone, mostly because he doesn’t think Hillary deserves to be sued for sounding like Joe Fucking McCarthy!
But there is a choice—you don’t get a shock from the keyboard if you fail to click on a video. The algorithm works with thousands of video content examples, right? You, as a viewer have to keep feeding certain choices for the output to get less diverse. I’ve watched film essayists for a time, then switched to comedy clips, then to film shorts—it only takes a few clicks with similar subject matter to get it adjusted to your new interest.
But that assumes that you know how to stay away from extremist material. Not everyone knows how the algorithm works or how extreme the consequences can be. Like, take your example. It’s not terribly likely that watching film shorts will result in being fed videos about election denial or the deep state. But film essays? It’s easy to keep clicking on videos about film essays with eyegrabbing titles and amusing thumbnails, until you end up on one that spends a liiiittle more time than usual talking about the identity politics on the film. And then the algorithm subtly starts suggesting more and more extreme right wing videos. So yeah, there’s a choice. Of course there’s a choice. But to claim that it’s not an uninformed choice seems intellectually dishonest to me.
It works the same with Pornhub.
You start with a video of one girl with no cup and the next thing you know…
…it’s a step-by-step process, and you really can start out kinda ok and end up nuts in QAnon.Sure, maybe if you’re a kid this works. But a functioning grown adult would be able to say “no I am not interested in this content, thanks” and stop viewing it and dismiss it from their suggestions.
I don’t know whether to go seeking this podcast or not, now.
If you mean Behind the Bastards; I do strongly recommend it. I learn a lot of history that I’m never otherwise going to sit down and read about, and the caster cites all of his sources (which are legit…history books and periodicals you’ve actually heard of). About the YouTube podcast…now I have no idea if they’re right or not. I’m still not convinced that everyone CHOOSES to go down the rabbit hole. If you’re a moron using the internet, YouTube is pretty much custom-designed to take you there.
This. Nobody “falls” down the alt-right rabbit hole. You crawl down there of your own free will. It’s a choice, not gravity. Saying that somebody “fell” into it sounds like an attempt to absolve them of responsibility.
Saying that somebody “fell” into it sounds like an attempt to absolve them of responsibility.
That’s exactly what it is. “I was taken in!” Oh shut up. You wanted to be taken in.
You choose to click, but nobody starts out saying, “I wanna end up some weirdo who alienates his family by going on about a batshit crazy satanic conspiracy involving the British Royal Family and some random furniture merchant.” But people cannot always foresee the outcome of every one of their actions. Losing your mind is sometimes a process of slow accretion. You can’t blame the algorithm for everything, but I think that it does contribute. Not every addict starts out this way, but it’s an okay parallel: nobody says “I wanna end up turning tricks or shoplifting for dope money” when they steal their first Percocet out of their grandpa’s medicine cabinet, but that’s where a lot of people end up. And that’s a choice, too. But only sort of.
Not every addict starts out this way
Yes, every addict starts out this way. You have to choose to start using in the first place.
That’s a shockingly naive misunderstanding of how addiction actually works but okay.
Considering the amount of things that one can get addicted to (shopping, video games, alcohol, sex, food, sleep, the list goes on) that “you never should have drunk your first beer or taken that first pill” seems extremely unrealistic. Some people experiment and decide it’s not for them, some people can handle their shit, and others become addicts. You wanna go ahead and live your life like some straight-edge hard-on? Go for it. But it’s simply not realistic to expect the whole of humanity to live that way. That’s not the way that humans are built. Save for the Inuit/Eskimos, there is not a single culture on earth that doesn’t get fucked up on something. It is the way that humans are built.
Tell that to the millions of Americans who became opioid addicts because their doctors prescribed it to them with zero warnings.
“I guess I made the choice to be a junkie when my leg was crushed in that industrial accident.”
Not that I want to give doctors a free ride on that one? But Purdue Pharmaceuticals kept claiming that Oxycotin was non-addictive long after evidence to the contrary starting popping up everywhere. Same as Bayer claimed at the end of the 19th Century/start of the 20th Century that Heroin was perfectly safe, and would help cure people of morphine and cocaine addictions….
When the pain eventually stops, and you continue taking the pills, that’s a choice. I get why people make that choice, but it is a choice.
Ahh yes, I forgot that opioids are not at all addicting and have no side effects when you stop using them.
Seriously, educate yourself before you start saying that millions of people just chose to be junkies.
Yep. Assuming that all people are unilaterally working with the same toolkit is a mistake.I’ve lost people to heroin addiction. They did not have even *CLOSE* to the support network, resources, or mental health outlets that I have.
“They did not have even *CLOSE* to the support network, resources, or mental health outlets that I have.”
Maybe they’d still be around if you helped them.
“Tell that to the millions of Americans who became opioid addicts because their doctors prescribed it to them with zero warnings.”
As soon as you can produce a prescription from a doctor that says “watch QAnon videos on YouTube”, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING IRRELEVANT.
This is a dumb way to look at addiction and you should feel dumb.
right so its virtually a deserved life sentence to being an addict, right? come on man a little levity and empathy. You think the old lady who took vicoden for a surgery and ends up hooked on oxy or heroin “chose” that? it must be a nice view from that high horse you ride
Wow. And you’re against right-wing nonsense?
And until we introduce healthy coping skills wrapped in culturally holistic language to everyone, we need to chill on the judgement calls. Beer and cigs are sold to the marginalized for a reason people.
Beer and cigs are sold to the marginalized for a reason people. What are you talking about? Beer and cigs are sold to everyone.
Disproportionately.
“You choose to click, but nobody starts out saying, “I wanna end up some weirdo who alienates his family by going on about a batshit crazy satanic conspiracy involving the British Royal Family and some random furniture merchant.””
No, but you DO start out with conservative thoughts or you wouldn’t be clicking on conservative videos.
Why the fuck are you giving people excuses?
It doesn’t even work as a metaphor – nobody can fall down a literal rabbit hole, they aren’t deep or straight like mineshafts.
Yeah but in Alice in Wonderland (the Disney one, anyway), Alice crawls long a little way in the darkness and then literally falls off an edge into a deep dark vertical tunnel in which she falls a LOOOONNNNGGG way. I think that sort of sudden descent is what the saying refers to.
The phrase exists for a reason. Wrong thinking does not pop out of a magical portal. The most successful way of changing somebody’s mind is to start small on grounds of consensus and slowly move away. Some people may be more predisposed to have their views changed, but nobody except for the crazy dude shrieking on the corner begins his sales pitch with “9/11 was aliens!” Your framing is just what intellectually lazy people do because they need a simple world where Bad people are Bad, Good people are Good, and they were Always This Way, and The End *dusts off hands*.
As is typically the case, those close to Johnston told The Daily Beast that his interest in extremist politics coincided with serious personal issues, leading him to the ugliest locations onlineIt sounds like he wouldn’t have fallen down that rabbit hole if he didn’t have some “serious” personal issues. Between social media algorithms and shitty safety nets in real life, there’s often few guardrails to prevent people from falling into rabbit holes if a life event sends them into a spiral. Without knowing more about him and his situation, it’s hard to say.To be clear, if he did the crime, he needs to do the time, but blaming him for his life circumstances and whatever sent him down this path in the first place seems presumptuous and excessive to me.
Seriously?
NO ONE HELP HIM!
That’s the best part, when the parents turn on him.
I’m not usually this guy, but… Before ruining his life by waging war against woke mind virus, Johnston had an envious filmography…Enviable. An enviable filmography. Films can’t be jealous of other films.
Detective Dolly : So what’s the symbology there?
Those scenes are the best part of that movie. They’re genuinely funny.
Lol, loved the characters in that film.
THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!!!
I have it on good authority that Interstellar is extremely jealous of Solaris.
Avatar: “But YOU won Best Picture!”Dances With Wolves: “But YOU made 3 billion goddamn dollars!”Everyone else: “You are the same goddamn movie, shut up already!”
The Dances with Wolves sequel was weird…
Dances With Whales? It was enjoyable, I guess.
Dances With Wolves 2: Dance Like No Wolves Are Watching
Dirty Dancing with Wolves II, Lupine Boogaloo.
The only thing I liked about Dances With Mole Rats is having Bill Burr as the lead.
They wanted Joe Pantoliano originally but he was too old.
Anthony Carrigan would have been my personal pick if done today.
I finally watched Avatar The Way of Water last night (Disney +) or should I say the passed three nights, because it’s s0 fucking boring.
And both are just tacky rip-offs of…And Yoram treated Robin Williams right, goddammit.
Dances with Wolves was released before Ferngully.
Or so the Germans would have us believe.
Thank you, not only did a laugh at your comment, I nodded with enthusiastic agreement.
I’m glad he’s facing consequences for participation in the insurrection. But sad to see him fallen so low. He was a great part of a lot of great shows over the years.
“But sad to see him fallen so low.”
How do you know he has “fallen” at all? Just because you thought he was a funny actor doesn’t mean he wasn’t ALWAYS a rightwing fucko.
Hearing Scott and Paul talk about Jay (without using his name) having an upcoming appearance on that show The News, I always felt a little pang in my heart. I always rooted for Jay when I saw him in something, it’s just a bummer he decided to be a prick. One thing I don’t get was that like a million people confirmed it was him and he is only arrested now? I mean, I guess it was a priority of suspects in the order they got arrested or something, but still, 2 1/2 years after the crime seems like a long wait to take action on what was clearly good info.
The extradition wheels of New Freeland turn slowly. They were probably waiting to snag him during the next Olympics.
I know Don Pratt’s not a lawyer, but I think he’d do a good job representing Johnston.
He, Trump and the rest of the treasonous insurrectionists should have been arrested on January 7th and well in to their 20 years to life sentences by now.If the writers of the consistently unfunny Bob’s Burgers want to get an actual laugh, they should show Pesto and the Fischoders getting cuffed and hauled off by the feds.
You’ve never been funny in your life. You suck as a person.
What is this? Does your tiny, fascist brain think that I would possibly let you out of the grays with this lazy, stupid comment? You are terrible at trolling. I suggest you find your true calling as a bullet catcher for PMC Wagner in Ukraine.
Maybe he’s just a Bob’s Burgers fan? You didn’t say MAGA idiots were unfunny.
I like to check people’s comment history before I acknowledge them. This guy is a troll and why I dismissed him.
I disagree with Bob’s Burgers fans but I don’t think they are necessarily treasonous fascists or vatniks.
You’ve got more patience than me!
You seem well adjusted…
I think we might be dealing the troll that’s been insulting the Root writers all the time, and possibly running the imposter accounts.
Maybe.
>the consistently unfunny Bob’s Burgerslol what site do you think you’re on?
Bob’s Burgers is not funny. It’s sad and a little weird. Not the charming kind of weird but the off weird that hints at future tragedy. Those children are not going to end up well.
Thank you.
You should also be placed in cuffs for this treasonous opinion of our beloved Belchers. I don’t know how you sleep at night.
>Not the charming kind of weird butKinda sounds like you saw a couple episodes in season 1 when Bob was still an asshole but haven’t seen the following 11 seasons where the show becomes charming and sweet almost to a fault
Or the episode where Tina is obsessed with a charming kind of weird butt.Oh wait, that’s all of them.
I think they should end the show by having Bob kill himself off camera and before the opening. In response Linda and Tina descend into a “Grey Gardens”-esque fantasy world, Louise and Gene investigate whether Bob shit himself when he died while Teddy and Mort decide to honor Bob by doing that whole human meat burger thing he used to talk about. With Bob’s meat. At the end Fischoeder reveals that Bob was on a high but rent controlled lease and that while he’s spent far more propping up Pesto’s shitty restaurant than he’ll ever get back in higher rents driving Bob to financial and personal ruin was almost funny enough to make it worth it. “But”, he says “as it is this building will become intensely flammable just after sundown so everyone needs to vacate the premises immediately. Thank God for insurance.”
I would watch that.
*past regular having a single tear while reading this comment* you have no idea what this place once was.
I’m sick in bed all week I figured I’d come check it out.
Didn’t it used to be so good, so fun!?!!! I miss the old AV Club.
(Clears throat, everyone turns to see the old man with gray hair in the back of the room)I was there. I saw it. Horsefellow. Dawes. Tarkovsky’s Former AD. I saw it all.
Wait… what? Agree with the first part, but don’t understand the second for comment about Fischoeders being arrested (and Bob’s Burgers hate?!?). Did I miss that Kevin Kline, Zach Galifianakis, and David Wain were also at the insurrection?
I said the writers could have the characters arrested. Bob’s Burgers is thankfully a work of fiction.
Kevin Kline should be shunned and arrested for keeping us from having more Phoebe Cates movies, like Drop Dead Fred II: Deadder Fredder.
What can you say, dude just considers an arrest a good punchline. Maybe the only good punchline.
Right? Still don’t understand what the Fischoeders have to do with anything, but wasn’t sure further explanation would make this clearly hilarious joke funny.
I think Bob’s Burgers is funny, but I agree with everything else you said.
If the writers of the consistently unfunny Bob’s Burgers Dude, don’t throw Bob’s Burgers under that bus. They fired the dude, and the show has a ton of heart.
Yeah, Jan 6th is perhaps one of the best demonstrations of white privilege you’ll ever see in the modern era.No way that big a crowd of anything other than white people would have been allowed to get that close to the capitol, let alone walk out alive once they stormed it.
Can they please recast Jimmy Pesto already? I need an episode where Bob gets a glorious win over him.
That mustache confirms it.
This is a sad, sad day.
Starburns told him the shot would be in slow motion. And he pumped his arms fast so it would look normal speed.
His name was Alex! He just didn’t have five hours every morning to carve that in his face…
Another small victory for true freedom and democracy and against Republican fascism and criminality. Peace.
Yep. To celebrate the Democrats should do something they love like bust up a union or give a billion dollars to Ukrainian Nazis.
Get off the internet grandpa, people at the library want to use the computer
aww look guys its a real life russian troll! In the wild!
Fuck you Nazi. Chickenhawk pieces of shit like you are evil. Fuck you.
Come back when you’re old enough to cross the street by yourself.
I mean, this isn’t surprising considering he played a cop in like, the vast majority of appearances he had on tv.
They are still racking up arrests. And what kills me is most of these people had GREAT successful lives yet were convinced that their lives were in jeopardy by things that do not effect them in any way possible. It happened to a friend of mine, too. He said these words “immigrants are going to destroy our way of life”. And I asked how, which upset him.
Yeah, questions tend to upset fascists
“And what kills me is most of these people had GREAT successful lives”
THAT’s your takeaway from watching those mobs of mouth-breathing incels, all painted up and chanting and wearing animal heads? You thought most of those people had great lives?
How -and this is an honest question, so I *would* like an answer- fucking unbelievably stupid are you?
In Bob we trust.
If Paul F. Thompkins ever turns out to be anything but a great guy I will kill myself.
Was just thinking this exact thing. (I’m not a fan of his shows but I’m a RiffTrax and Behind the Bastards junkie and I love PFT based on his work there). I will not be able to bear it if we get one these about him.
Arrested Development is his excuse! Hey, I’m sure he has lots of fans in whatever prison he ends up in.
Herky-Jerkying off to join the the prison Choo-Choo!!
I’ve had drinks with Gavin McInnes before and he is an incredibly boring person, I don’t know how these people go and interact with him and think he is profound. I met him before he started the “Proud Boys”. I still do miss Jimmy Pesto Sr. on “Bob’s Burgers” I really want to hear ZOOM! again.
you could’ve saved a lot of people a lot of troublejust sayin’
Even if he’s convicted, he’ll probably just receive a pardon from President Guy “Whitey” Corngood.
I should have expected more from Choo-Choo, The Herky Jerky Dancer.
Friends don’t let friends fall down right wing rabbit holes.
I wanna know what the serious personal issue is. Divorce or just substance abuse?
He can work it out during court-order therapy.
My money’s on divorce and a custody battle.
I remember reading he had a pretty bad alcohol problem a while back and (fellow Mr Show alum) Sarah Silverman threw him a line when she cast him on her show.
A black guy got a job he auditioned for.
His mustache didn’t protect him?
Who else from Mr. Show is a right wing terrorist? I don’t trust Blueberry Head.
He was investigated by a Senate subcommittee and was cleared of all charges. The only crime was the bandleader’s jacket.
Senator Howell Tankerbell was caught up in a Limberjack sex trafficking scandal.
Mountain Dougie…
As a Mr. Show fan, this bums me out. I thought it was a joke that the guy looked like him. Never realized the joke was that it was actually him.
Fuck fascists to hell, every last one of them. Yes, that one too. They want to kill and subjugate people I love, so they get nothing but shit. Seriously
But this is a fucking bummer. I hung out with him a few times in like 2014, and he was SO COOL. It was exactly how you’d want it to be hanging out with someone from two of your favorite shows. But he went fash so off he goes.
The three biggest knee-jerk conservative, build the wall, Fuck Joe Biden guys I know are all more than capable of being extremely friendly, even compassionate. More than liberal me, frankly. Just don’t bring up politics.
Fuck Joe BidenNo no. It’s “FJB” or “Let’s Go Brandon” because the hardspitters of truth who aren’t afraid to tell it like it is are too cowardly to actually drop an F-bomb.
If knee-jerk conservative “build the wall” and “fuck Biden” guys are more liberal than you, you’re probably not very liberal.
“More than liberal me”, not “more liberal than me.”
Thank, me no read good.
“It was exactly how you’d want it to be hanging out with someone from two of your favorite shows.”
So, he pretended to like you?
Actual footage of the interrogation:
Johnston had an envious filmography of roles in some of the most influential comedies ever, including Mr. Show, Arrested Development, The Sarah Silverman Program, and Bob’s Burgers.Yeah, but he’s not really important to any of them lol every single one of those shows could have replaced him with Jason Siegel and it would have been exactly the same.
So the development is his arrest.
the riots did not “Kill seven”, that’s a blatant lie
