That little hick ass town was fortunate enough to get a personality like Mike. It's just because hes a good guy that he even apologized for a joke. And then the lady is like "you only like it because you sponsored it?"
Excuse me. Fuck you. It's like "who are you? a reporter? from nowhere?"
Well they proved his point... He needs a new joke now about 'the town that is so small that they have to post an evening news story about the comedian that talked about how small their zoo is'. Wow that is just sad.
if o&a did this for every city they insulted, they'd be poor and spend all their time apologizing. of course, birbiglia can't afford to let the fans be mad
ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME?!? HE DOESN'T NEED TO BE SORRY FOR ANYTHING! he's right anyhow! some cities are too small to have a freakin zoo! i love animals but man i wouldn't be sorry to a bunch of up tight idiots who can't take a freakin joke and then go donate a bunch of money to a freakin zoo! if you're going to donate money donate it to third world countries or something!
I am from erie and this really offended me. To you it may just be a zoo, but to me and people from erie it is a part of our hearts. I dont about you, but if someone makes fun of something you care deeply about you would get upset. Then to top it all off he comes back to "make good" and kills our polar bear.
i wonder how much actual news happens in erie that this even makes it onto the news. i mean really. i took a dump 10 m9nutes ago will they report on that too
(no offense to people from erie just your news team)
Not only did he apologize, he went to the zoo, sponsored animals at the zoo, had an interview about the zoo, and pronmised to go back. If you're going to spend your career making fun of things, just learn to take the critisim that comes with it.
ok im from erie lived here for years and yes erie takes pride in its medicore zoo, but they werent to upset it was all in good fun and birbiglia made ameands and sponsored some animals so thats cool, but big ups mike ur shit is hilarious
Okay so some of the people from Erie might have been mad but the people who actually work at the zoo weren't. They all took it as a joke because that's what it was. And of course the Erie Zoo is small...it's in a small city. But it's size doesn't hold it back. This zoo has the best Amur Leopard program in the world. I think they've had 9 maybe 10 cubs. There are only about 50 Amur leopards in the wild.
That is so aburd, some people whined about it to milk some celebrity donations to a middle of nowhere zoo. Erie residents needs to take a joke and shame on the zoo for milking this.
What the heck? If he said something like that about my town I would LOVE it. It's not like he said Erie sucked, he just said it was small. but... my town ahs no zoo... so it wouldn't make sense if he said that about it.
Sheesh. That is so STUPID. Oh big whoop. He 'poked fun' at a effing zoo. People do WORSe and no one throws big fits about it. People get too worked up period, but WAY too worked up over STUPID stuff that shouldn't even MATTER. Shameful and stupid.
jesus christ what a buncha faggots gettin pissed about a zoo. its just a fuckin joke. just because you have no real news to report doest mean u gotta bother mike like that.
wow, i'm from erie and i had no problem with the joke! in fact, when i heard mike mention erie on comedy central i was like "holy shit!! yay!". i can't believe my fellow erie people are getting pissed over a joke about our zoo. sure, it's one of our main tourist attractions, but who fucking cares?! everything needs to be mocked sometimes! i am embarrassed to be an erie citizen right now...
I speak on behalf of all residents of the Erie area by saying that not only did we find your joke amazing, we are secretly glad you indirectly advertised the Erie Zoo. P.S. It is scientifically proven you will see the giraffes humping everytime you go to the zoo and if you ride the train it will make it rain.
Your next joke should be about towns that probably shouldn't have television news stations because their biggest story was about a comedian who has a joke about their zoo...
i went to the one on friday afternoon and its was frikin hilarious and fuck sylak lol we are not insecure about our zoo erie just sucks ass and we only hav a few good places to go and do something middle finger goes to you sylak hahaha
anywho mike signed my arm and signed my cracker please shirt =] he was nice he even opened up the package me shirt came in for me
They chose a clip that makes you seem kind of crazy at the beginning. That one where you are flailing around and making weird noises. I think they were like, "Okay we'll make him look crazy and then we'll be even with him for making fun of our zoo!".
Come on Erie natives, we look like a bunch of pussies now.
