On Can Whitney Survive Its Ad Campaign? A Discussion

Great convo guys. I have seen her comedy, and I hated it. She shit on women during the act, just like the billboards, and I assume she'll do it in the sitcom. Furthermore, her standup gives me the impression that she has NOTHING else to talk about besides relationships. It's all about the men in her life. Nothing else. She's another hot woman who thinks she can get away with terrible jokes because she's hot. AND to make things worse, she jumps on the guys' side. She tells dude jokes, so she can fit in and be successful. She's a total sellout, in terms of gender and comedy. I think she's actually capable of decent writing; she writes for the Roasts. But her standup is for tv specials, meaning it's written to appeal to a mass audience. Her sitcom will not be good. If you like 2 and a half men, you'll like this. Classic gender jokes. Like "woops, honey I forgot our anniversaly because i am a man". The sad thing is, NBC thinks it's edgy, but it's actually very old fashioned. It's like that movie "Friends with Benefits", where the studio is all "Look! It's interesting comedy that's about two people who have casual sex! Isn't that wacky?!" Not edgy at all. Now here's Whitney saying "Look! I'm a hot chick who can joke about bad breath, punishing my man, and how women are psycho! Aren't I edgy?!" ugh, vom.
