Anyone else annoyed with Dadboner on twitter? His political rant was totally out of character and now he’s doing damage control but it feels forced. Eh.
Glad someone brought this up. What the fuck was that? And you’re right, now he’s going to chalk it up tomorrow with a simple “feels like I had a thousand beers last ni.ght, you guys” and pretend it didn’t happen. (btw, it was great him saying “i’m not liberal or republican”, then literally 2 tweets saying “I’m Republican”). He’s just like any other guy who as soon as he gets famous enough, people think they give a shit what his views are on stuff not involving what made him famous.
If you search hard enough, you find out the guy behind the account is pretty lib. (Deadspin revealed his identity last year and @DB’s also on the guy’s resume page on College Humor). He’s just one of those guys that you can just look at a picture of him on his blog and say to yourself “Loves Obama.” Before today, I really wished I hadn’t found that out; now, doesn’t matter because Karl’s kinda ruined for me.
^Yup. The magic behind Karl was that you had no idea who was doing it. It was just believable enough that you could almost convince yourself Karl Welzein actually existed. But today’s bullshit rant totally revealed “The man behind the curtain” so to speak. I’m going to struggle to enjoy the comedy as much after this, and regrettably am considering unfollowing.
JParks will you keep following him? I’m pretty split…kinda concerning?
You know what, man, probably. DB’s tainted for me, but as long as he’s learned his lesson from all the shit he received on Twitter for it, then hopefully after a while I’ll just forget about it.
I mean, if I had to stop enjoying every libtard blowhard in pop culture, I wouldn’t have too many options remaining, y’know. Gotta take the good with the bad. Just don’t know why he tried to make Captain Karl’s first instinct after getting fired to rant about Paul Ryan out of the blue.
What’s really disappointing about it is that the guy behind it is a liberal writer in LA. That’s so far from an average Michigander loving America, it takes away some of the magic. He just needs to stay away from politics.

13 years ago at 12:36 am^^I agree with most of this. But if you for one second believed Karl was a real person, you are living in fantasy land.
I am glad he told Ken about unleashing his man meat on his wife

13 years ago at 8:52 amYeah, I’ve decided to keep following. Some of the magic is gone but I’ll still enjoy DB’s rants about chest beefers from coast to coast, you guys.
I have a feeling we won’t be seeing another political rant for quite some time from Karl.
13 years ago at 2:23 pm^^ He’s actually from Saginaw, MI, and went to Michigan State
13 years ago at 2:42 pm^ totally. Really enjoyed “I smoked your old lady with my man meat.”
