I was updating Wikipedia and I stumbled upon this piece of news. Bob's Burgers production cut ties immediately with the actor, and now his character has a new voice.

Can't trust a guy named Pesto.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 211d
Well yeah, his real name was Poplopovich.
Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 211d
Figures he wouldn't use his real name.

I'm issuing a ban on all the pesto kids.

All right. Listen. You're my fellow lemmy, and I love you. But you're terrible at what you post, and I feel like I should tell you. I'd ban all of you if I could.

That is some attention to detail. The villains in that show are so authentic the actors who depict them are villains IRL.

There was no Capitol riot, only an insurrection and coup attempt.

These aren't mutually exclusive

Oh, THATS why he was replaced. Well, fuck him then.

I love the show. But now I love it more.
I'm pretty much down for anything HJB. I wish he still had his van.

I had loved Jay Johnston ever since the Mr. Show days. Used to cheer when he popped up in things.
Fucking traitor. I flip off the screen anytime he's on now.

Same, this just soured my favorite Mr Show skit :(

It blows my mind that comedians, who are pretty much modern day jesters, are supposed to rip into nobility and the wealthy.
And whenever I see them defending a billionaire, regardless of Trump, Musk, or whatever boogieman liberal billionaire... I just know they're shitty at their job.
W3dd1e@lemmy.zip · 32 pts · 210d
He was kicked off the show for this.

It's so interesting how Fox News is this right-wing talking piece. But Fox entertainment is so different. Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob's Burgers don't give a fuck.
NickwithaC@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 210d
Different organisations with different owners. The name is solely historic at this point.

It was spun up in 2013, so for nearly 30 years, it was part of News Corp. I've seen a video about this dichotomy in the past and I remember none of it

Went down his filmography (and it's a pretty long one) and didn't find a single role I remember other than his supporting role on Bob's Burgers.
But I'm sure some of you TV and film guys will remember his other characters such as Cop, Young Cop, FBI Agent, Agent, FBI Agent, (wow FBI Agent must have been a real hit if they brought that character back multiple times in completely different TV shows) Mustachioed Cop and Police Officer #2, Various, and Various Roles. I'm guessing Various Roles is some sort villain character he played?
I wonder if any of the real FBI agents who arrested him were like "You know Mr. Johnston, your portrayal of FBI agent is what inspired me to join the FBI?"

I mean his crime is not being a contract worker. No one denigrates plumbers for not fixing enough celebrity toilets.

Also one of the actors in the legendary show Mr. Show.

Not just actors but one of their best writers.
He is proof that even right wing dipshits can be funny.
kandykarter@lemmy.ca · 48 pts · 211d
Or alternatively, that clever, funny, smart people are not always immune to propaganda and radicalization
Kraiden@piefed.social · 11 pts · 211d
I find right wing dipshits can be hilarious! Mostly unintentionally, but still
magnetosphere@fedia.io · 8 pts · 211d
A very, very rare exception indeed!

Yeah, I was sad when I learned about this, he's a funny guy.

I guess if you have an outspoken leftist like Sam Seder in your cast, you must maintain balance with a PoS like this guy.
