Actually he fails at humour. He's quite good at everything else though-

Don't hate him

And

Also, he has a very nice accent.

Zizek is recognizable by plebs, so the try-hard faggots on /lit/ that liked him to begin with feel shame their plebosity and react emotionally when someone else mentions Zizek.

In the real world, Zizek is bretty gud.

Probably the easy additional $25k for five mins work while he was already inside the BBC studios. Plus, despite it being embarrassing, it would have exposed him to a whole generation of 90's kids. It's no worse than his 'Chomsky style' parody of Gangnam style anyway.

Not in the idiotic sense of physical violence, but in the sense of excluding all others. True love is absolutely violent. As Socrate said "a friend to all is a friend to none".
