As we noted in the review, when we saw the Saturday Night Live alum was booked at a beloved Dallas venue, we wondered, "Maybe we're missing something? Maybe he's grown as a person?"
He hasn't, as it turns out. At least not if you're familiar with his bizarre outspokenness on a number of subjects in recent years. More recently, after basketball Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo died of cancer last year, Schneider publicly questioned if the cause of death was actually due to... the COVID-19 vaccine.
Some commenters took issue with our critiquing Schneider's material, asserting that he isn't trying to appeal to a publication like ours (publications that review comedy shows, or?), but it seems as if Schneider has just truly lost his touch. In fact, even some of his fellow Republicans aren't fans of his work lately.
Something not lost on us, though, is that Schneider's tour makes freedom of speech the show's entire billing. So, anyone who enjoyed his show — or even decided to suddenly defend him after seeing our review — should be able to recognize the irony in being upset with us for exercising that same freedom when we say his show was a flop, right?
At any rate, as Schneider's "You Can Dooo It" Tour emphasizes, freedom of speech applies to everyone, even our Facebook commenters below. And if you've got an opinion on this, or anything in Dallas, for that matter, email us at [email protected] (and it might get published in our Opinion section).
Michael wonders:
Man, how did you draw that short straw?
Tristan observes:
A lot of Facebook uncles in these comments.
Nathan asserts:
He was never funny.
Ron says:
He doesn't pander to the Observer Crowd. Do your homework next time... unless of course you went to see the show with the objective of writing a bad review. Is your magazine out of Pride Month ideas?
Diane says:
The female comedian stole her abortion joke/comment from George Carlin, who made it in 2002...
Doc concludes:
So... Rob's not funny? Shit. That's not news.
