what does /lit/ think of Stew?
curious about what non brits think of him in particular

>> No.5867476

I think he's a pretentious cunt who makes deliberately obscure references and relies on his liberal hipster audience to either miss the reference but laugh out of fear of being found out (95%) or actually get the reference (5%), instead of making actual jokes. He should watch some stand up by a real comedian like Al Murray aka the pub landlord.

YA SEE LEFTISTS WALK LIKE THIS.

Oxymoron. Things that try to isolate and overemphasize certain parts of what should be whole are all shit tier. Horror, comedy, etc. It's like eating icing out of the jar when it should be the finishing touches on a cake.

You act as if their opinion on anything holds any merit at all.
