This is my preemptive comment to all the wonderful people who will point out that Hannibal Buress was a writer on 30 Rock. Yes he was. A year after the episode with the Cosby joke aired, which was clarified in the previous article. Read more

That's definitely an issue with the system we have in place to protect victims. However, this was months ago that the family was trying to get a restraining order against him. If it had happened, he may have violated it and be sitting in jail right now instead of having shot her. Or it could have served to help get… Read more

She retweeted a BUSTLE link. Because Bustle has all the answers for how to promote change. Can't make this shit up. Read more

Yes, of course! But an episode on Netflix is not the same as an embedable, isolated clip I can share here in this post. Thanks1 Read more
Buress was a writer in 2010, after the episode aired, as mentioned in the pull quote I included in the article. But I don't know about his earlier involvement with the show (if he was friends with that particular group of writers that season, if he overheard things, etc. etc.). Maybe it did influence him to speak out… Read more
Yes, as addressed in the pull quote from Crushable's article I included—he did so in 2010 (for only six months) and it was after this episode aired. Read more
I don't know about that, Eva. Either way, he had no problem using this poor dog as a way to garner positive attention for him and/or his son. And then he allegedly threw the animal off a balcony. Justin Bieber was 100% behind the naming campaign for this dog, too. And he posted a lot about it. So both parties are… Read more
As Maier points out and as I cited in the article, Buress worked as a writer on the show in 2010 (for only six months), long after the episode aired. As for the issue in your first paragraph, it's a great point. But her name is on the credit as the "writer," therefor I point to her as the person responsible for… Read more

Eddie Murphy's 80s bit from Raw on Cosby includes this quote about the advice Richard Pryor gave him: "Tell Bill I said have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up." This whole bit is GENIUS COMEDY PERFECTION.
I didn't think you were doubting me (and yes, Burt is the best way to address me). I think you made a wonderful point and I hoped to amplify it so everyone knows! Read more
Oh, right! Yes, the entire episode is available in a few places—I just meant an isolated clip I could embed in this post. But yeah, if you have Netflix, etc. you can just watch "The Bubble" ep. Thanks! Read more
