Owen Benjamin: The Deceiver

In tribute to the courageous and principled bearlord, Owen Benjamin. With respects to the ruthless robot of REAL CONSPIRACY. By Hengist Mountebank (Bugbear).

Benjamin Deceived Everyone

I mentioned I enjoy this robot voice channel called “Real Conspiracy” and this dude made me my own!

“In tribute to the courageous and principled bearlord, Owen Benjamin. With respects to the ruthless robot of REAL CONSPIRACY. By Hengist Mountebank (Bugbear)”

If it wasn’t for my dad’s weiner and my mom’s “ok,” there would be no Owen Benjamin. Piano brought me to stand up comedy. I’ve had two Comedy Central specials. I’m tall but suck at basketball, I’m smart but can’t spell, I’m nice but kind of a dick.

Why Outrage Culture Matters

The opposition of politically incorrect ideas and intellectually challenging arguments has not only hindered political debate – but the world of stand-up comedy.

Comic Dave Smith joins Stefan Molyneux to discuss his evolution as a comedian, the power of speaking previously unspoken truths, the disappearance of the anti-war left, the defense of sacred cows, leftist hypocritical standards and much much more! Smith is a stand-up comedian, political commentator, co-host of “The Legion of Skanks” podcast and host of the Part of the Problem podcast.

The Gay Moby Dick

Jonathan Winters unveils the un-PC character “Captain Arnold” (the bit turns up on the “Humor As Seen Through The Eyes Of” album). After the stand-up, he sits down and offers his JFK impression. Always great to see one of the true legends of comedy, a spontaneous genius at observing and twisting reality.

Sadly, it’s doubtful anyone could do the same routine on national TV these days. Would bring down the PC police!
