It's not really a question of him being funny or not. I think he is and I've laughed my ass off with several of his videos but some people, himself probably included, internalize this attitude for real. It's not just humor for them, they become actual assholes.

They don't see the irony in taking their irony so seriously. I have a friend like that, intelligent and funny guy but he's also a cunt and hard to be open with because chances are you'll get a cunty reply for no good reason; it's a real shame since otherwise we could get along perfectly.

Their irony being a shield is a valid critique, they are afraid of taking things seriously because underneath their irony they take everything and especially themselves extremely seriously, and become less humane as a result.

Absolutely not. DFW was a powerfully built high-level amateur athlete who demonstrates a definite sadistic streak in his writing and grew up around caveman-tier midwesterners. He's fucked numerous women despite being a depressive. Sam's a pasty nerd from somewhere in the northeast with flabby middle-aged lady arms, poor hygeine and a fucking gut. If he's not a virgin, he probably nailed some gross scene chick with hot pink hair and a muffin top while they were both rolling on molly in a disgusting movie theater in Brooklyn.
