The only articles where the text is funnier than the video. God dammit, where does he get his funny from? Because it sure as hell isn’t available in bulk at Costco.

I thought he was really funny the first couple times I read one of his articles. I still kind of get excited when he posts, but since he posts more often now, I don’t find them as funny. I’m sure I’m in the minority on that, but they are just the same formula over and over. Every once in a while, a sentence or two of gold shows up.

But the comments section is cash. I usually just skim the article and go to the comments.

He is the best at replying to comments. Definitely my favorite parts. There are always at least 1 or 2 lines in the article that are total gold material but for some reason the comments entertain me way more.

Yeah, I really ought to buy his book at some point. I enjoy reading his writing style and I think it would make some good entertainment next time I am on an airplane.

Yeah, he does this thing where he makes a joke, and then repeats it a bunch of times later in the article. It’s starting to make his sense of humor feel forced and overly hyperbolic.

I am not offended by this! (Seriously)

They are not for everyone. They are generally popular, but long form columns aren’t the most effective tools for getting people interested on the Internet. Hell, that’s the main reason the Internet exists! I think we have all been surprised by the popularity. Hardigree recently admitted he was!

Just commented to say that I appreciate you not saying “He’s an asshole” when what you really mean is “I don’t like his work.”

Don’t get me wrong. I like your work; your long form style isn’t my favorite. That’s why I actually do read them (I only really skim the “off the wall” articles, read the car related articles). I was just saying that I don’t find them as funny as other people tend to, since I think your humor is better in sort blurbs (hence me really digging the comment sections).

I watch your videos too, which I really enjoy. But that camera... man I think you should upgrade (tax write off eligible!) I know it’s a difficult decision. RED Epic, or half a tank in the Hummer, but it will really make a difference. (Like 6k video recording, who wouldn’t want to see you drive backwards through a drive-through in 6k).

You do you thug Doug, you do you.
