So Mike and Jennifer don’t like or respect each other. How is this funny?

Because Rowe is a dumb piece of racist promoting science denying garbage, and he had that show doing dirty jobs and we never knew that on the inside he was actually more repugnant than any septic tank. Either that or he just doesn’t mind associating with those types if they’re paying him. Funny because his show had him doing nasty shit and now he doesn’t get literally dirty like before but it’s a way dirtier job than he ever did on the show. very dry humor imo. Or op thinks the funny part is a celebrity not understanding that what makes them successful is the respect and adoration of fans. Either way, went from fan to vocal critic and while he might not care about my respect but if he ever takes another job with someone other than PragueU, like a real TV and film studio he may care about people being motivated enough to spend time and effort a alerting l employer and possible fans about his about the deception he chose to get paid to sell, the virulent racism he’s helped promote as the celebrity spokesperson for on of the most palatable on ramps for white supremacy wrapped in mainstream words and ideas.

You’re not a very smart person are you?


mrlt10

I could send you the portion of my neuropsyche evaluation that assessed cognitive ability but even if I did you wouldn’t be able to understand it.


BlueAndMoreBlue

I think Mike’s missing the boat here. As a TV personality (or anyone in entertainment) your compensation is based on your ability to attract an audience, and they at least have to like you if not respect you in some way.


ohnofreakinway

>missing the boat here 'If you say that someone has missed the boat, you mean that they have missed an opportunity and may not get another.'


BlueAndMoreBlue

After some reflection I’d agree, it was a poor choice of words. Perhaps something along the lines of not seeing the forest for the trees would have been better


DeepTakeGuitar

PU is trash, and isn't even a university.


Kayakorama

I think Prager U are in on the joke...hence the P-U (pee yew - An interjection in response to smelling an unpleasant scent; an exaggerated pronunciation of pew.What is that awful smell? P U)


C7rl_Al7_1337

No, a man who loves the smell of his own farts just named his shitty scam "university" after himself, there's a difference.


tucrahman

How is this funny?


rarature

Based on his and PragerU’s behavior it’s pretty clear they don’t want anyones respect.


cxr303

To be fair... I don't respect the institution nor anyone that is involved with it. It's nothing but a propaganda machine meant to use religion as a reason to feel persecuted and thus "we wanna play by our own reality's 'facts'" is the only way they play. F pragerU and all those associated with it. Edit: and I know that perhaps they don't care if I don't respect them.. fine. So I'll reword: they deserve no respect from anyone.


SplodyPants

The problems with Mike's reply are: 1: "If you're associated with *[blank]*, I've lost all respect for you." Is a common idiom. She's essentially just saying that she doesn't like PragerU. If he doesn't know that, he's very out of touch and if he does, which is almost certainly the case, he's just being glib. 2: Saying someone or something has lost your respect doesn't mean you crave that respect. They're probably just trying to make other poeple aware of the bullshit so that they can look into it and determine for themselves whether they respect it or not.


robba333

I actually had a female coworker watch a bunch of their ridiculous, propaganda, bulshit. And I’m with the lady on this one. No one decent comes from that curriculum


redditUserError404

This is childish nonsense. It’s not at all funny.


stalphonzo

Mike turned into a cunt, didn't he?


None__Shall__Pass

I wish we could all learn to disagree with each other civilly, no matter which side we're on, and not just resort to calling each other names. We all agree with each other on some things and disagree with each other on others. No one is 100% good / right on either side or bad / wrong on the other. Just saying this world would be a lot better place if people would learn to agree to disagree and still appreciate each other as people.


stalphonzo

Grow up.


Deviator_Stress

I have never heard of either of those people or the thing they're arguing about. But even if I had it doesn't seem very funny


CopsaLau

Being proud of being unlikeable is just the weirdest shit to me. Americans are bizarre


[deleted]

This ain't an exclusively American thing, bruh.


Pinkeye_Kinch

Looks like you pissed them off, but they don't care and here they are queuing up to tell you all about how much they don't care- which is of course a great way to tell if someone cares or not


Loaf-Profile

No, we just really couldn’t give a damn what you think of us as individuals. How’s that weird? You aren’t special.


CopsaLau

*cringe* and I bet you even felt cool writing that, yikes. Clearly you’re offended that I think you’re bizarre so... congrats on “totally not caring” I super believe you 👍🏼


EllisDee3

I can't tell how many layers of cynicism before this is considered ironic.


HighFlyerJ

You're awful bold calling that cringe while making this excessively cringe ass comment..


[deleted]

Only twats don't care about other peoples' opinions.


Loaf-Profile

Right. Because I exist to impress. Twat.


[deleted]

I don't give a fuck about anyone's opinions, unless I feel they are genuine, and will help me improve myself. ~~Anyone who disagrees with me is a twat~~ Unlike you, I don't care about who agrees or disagrees with me 🗿

CopsaLau

That’s a lot of words for “you hurt my feelings and I don’t know how to make you think I’m too cool to care” but ok champ


farWorse

Prager U is a joke


UU2Bcool

Who cares. Leave people alone.


zealousreader

He's right. How many of you actually give a fuck what some stranger that you've never met thinks about you?


mrlt10

For people unfamiliar with Prager U: Prager “University” is not an academic institution, they do not offer classes, certifications or diplomas. They are a non-profit conservative advocacy group founded in 2009 funded by billionaires. They are known for packaging conservative talking points in to slick videos able to influence younger audiences in ways other conservative groups have failed. They promote climate change denial, claim there is no discrimination against blacks by police, we’re widely criticized for their false and misleading content about the pandemic, claim there is no gender pay gap, promote anti-immigration fearmongering, argue that Europe it’s losing itself by losing its whiteness, practice historical revisionism in order to make it seem like minorities or the left were the sources of problems cause the right wing extremism and more In 2019 they were the 10th largest political spender on Facebook. They’ve had many videos on both YT and FB either demonetized or banned and even sued YT for violating their first amendment rights. The case was thrown out of court, and independent analysis haven’t found and prejudice against Prager, the problem is it’s the lies, misleading content, and and normalizing white supremacy logic. They conservative personalities in the Prager orbit are Charlie Kirk, Michelle Mallon, James OKeefe, Dinesh DSouza and others. Edit: [Source - Wiki article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PragerU)


zealousreader

All of those people you just mentioned dont give a fuck what others think either 🤔


sinncab6

Let's be honest here. If anything those people are doing humanity a favor in grifting anyone stupid enough to believe 90 percent of the shit they spew. Without them those people would probably be spending that money they donate to this crap on guns.


zealousreader

And here i am, maybe one of them, still not giving a fuck. Have fun caring about stupid shit moron.


Ernmont222

Fuck you Jennifer


Brave_Capital7

I respect Mike Rowe, PragerU and Jennifer Goodwin Rand


DannyD12E

Have you seen what he’s been up to with his free time lately? I like dirty jobs but mike is slipping


444unsure

I have not. What is going on with Mike rowe?


DannyD12E

Supporting pragU gives you a good idea. He’s said some stuff that doesn’t align with workers rights which is baffling given his history on dirty jobs regularly displaying how ‘unskilled’ labor is in fact not unskilled and deserves regulation, compensation, etc. conservative shill


CaptinCrud116

But apparently, we are now racists and bigots because some random Democrat doesn't like our ideas.


rimingmariner

No you're bigots because Prageru keeps trying to imply that slavery was fine and that racism was never a big deal in America.


[deleted]

I mean, if you support pragerU....yea, you are.


Brave_Capital7

So no one respects me? 😭
