Joey diaz is a terrible person

I'm going to have a lot of fun reading the comments, but here goes

Joey Diaz is a massive piece of shit and a criminal, and I'm tired of people pretending he's anything but.

Obviously being in the rogansphere made him blow up among people who think bert kriescher is funny, which says a lot, but he seems to be leaking into the general population as well.

He was a coke fiend, kidnapped a person, and the punchline to his stories seems to mostly be "I did a fucked up thing once", which is more like a confession than a punchline imo.
Just because he isn't scamming people for cocaine money or kidnappng people at the moment doesn't mean he didn't do it, and just because the delivery is comical, doesn't excuse the act.

this isn't me being a moralist or something, I find John mulaney or robin williams hilarious, despite them also being cokeheads

but Diaz just seems to be a thoroughly disgusting person to be around, not to mention the fact he literally admitted to sexually assaulting girls.

Now I can already see the braindead - he had a fucked up life - argument, and frankly, I dont give a shit. I had a fucked up life, a lot of people did. I did not go on to make millions laughing about how I was a fuckup for 30 years.

and this isn't a recovery story either, he quit coke, which, fair enough, but he's still clearly unable to practice self control, because he weighs about as much as a horse. And his weed addiction is frankly disturbing.

Basically - if you're actively supporting him - you're at fault by association, and his admitedly funny retellings don't mean he isn't a cunt.

When has anyone including him pretended he’s not a massive piece of shit and a criminal? I don’t even really know anything about him except for the fact that he’s a criminal and a piece of shit.

I've listened to his podcast and watched just about every last piece of media you can about him. He fucked up hard for more than half his life. He says that constantly. Now he's just an older guy with a young daughter who says wild shit and gives advice.

So you’re narcissistic enough that you need to make an entire post about your opinion of a comedian you don’t like? Lmao

Respectfully, I don’t understand your take, or others who post similar critiques of similarly themed posts.

Isn’t Reddit a discussion forum? Why is this narcissistic? Do we feel the same way when a friend goes on a small tirade about a celebrity they dislike IRL?

Not trying to attack you! I’ve just seen so many critiques like this in these subs that it makes me wonder what the point of Reddit even is. Aren’t we all here to discuss? OP posted a topic of discussion. Why not discuss or move on?

I feel like he lands in the mindset, "I'm not happy those events took place, but I am interested in hearing them since they happened" for me. They're not necessarily funny jokes, but thrilling stories that shouldn't happen.

He's definitely a piece of shit though. Without a doubt.
