    I saw this guy on a random night at a NYC comedy club. Probably a crowd of 30? And only me and one other woman were laughing. And the more he went on and no one else laughed, the more we were in tears at how put off everyone else was. Gave us a friendly nod when he was done, and shook his hand after. Comedic genius

Warner Bros Discovery as a whole is in debt anyways, just take new FLCL as an example, 3 episodes per season or, the new season of ATHF coming out later this year, they've only got 5 episodes, they need to recuperate money to make new projects and continuations come to fruition.
