I think Nick purposefully cakes himself in irony in order to refute the possibility of anything good happening before even trying it. Sort of pre-giving up on yourself. One of his depression rants is up on youtube (the one with the Austrian trains). It's an interesting look into his psyche.
As >>10633 mentioned he's a pretty good writer, and he could probably go on to make successful TV projects if he tried. I mean, just recently he wrote for Shane Gilli's roast and it showed. Hell, he half-assed TAFS and it's still one of the better podcasts out there.
Morris is similar in the sense that his work is clouded by absurdism and black humor. Same goes (mostly) for Julia Davis and her shows. The difference, though, is that he doesn't necessarily hide behind it. The Day Today doesn't hide behind absurdism or irony when making its critiques.
Some of his off-the-cuff stuff is very funny but his standup is surprisingly mid. Most of his popularity comes from being a sort of aspirational figure for alcoholic failsons with vague artistic inclinations.

I think he could do with a writing partnership with someone with more of a human touch.
I saw a good comment about Four Lions, which was that although the driving force behind the comedy is obviously Chris Morris, and all the absurdist satire is most definitely his (especially evident in the fantastic coda with the aphex twin song: 'The report makes crystal clear that the police shot the right man, but as far as I'm aware, the wrong man exploded. Is that clear?' and 'Most loud bangs aren't bombs, they're scooters backfiring'), the film nonetheless benefits from the more human and poignant moments, for example when Riz Ahmed's character tells his wife he's going to go through with his plan ('I'm taking my team up to the top floor').
Mullen is comparable to Morris in many ways. Obviously both are very edgy and unable to resist getting a rise out of people. Both of them naturally inhabit a sort of alpha male comedic persona - Morris as the icily superior news anchor on The Day Today, Mullen as the self-assured playground bully. Both are arguably redeemed by an extremely strong morality that underlies their desire to shock and offend.
As entertaining as Cum Town was, I think that if Mullen is going to write something really worth watching, he is going to need to find someone to provide that counterpoint. And although I don't have anything against him, I don't think that person is Adam Friedland.
Yeah of course. His peak stuff was especially funny at-the-time and has unfortunately aged poorly because 1. It’s referenced constantly online 2. It’s not really unusual or edgy anymore for leftist men to be idiosyncratically vulgar about race/gender stuff. Today he just seems kinda burnt out on his own “thing” but I trust his best work is ahead of him. He’s also a good writer.

A lot more than most "comedians" but not nearly as much as his weirdo fanboys say

yes, it's quite good if a bit unpolished, and it proves he should write more.
GamemasterAnthony was 51 this year. I wonder what his life is like.

its a small thing but I've read this half a dozen times and although I googled the weather reporter I still don't know who 'beebee' is.
Every birthday I think about his blog post on turning 30, "Everything I Wanted", and then keep thinking about it for weeks. Idk.

Btw this is what I mean by him being a good writer -- he's better on the page than on video or audio

Why do so many Americans make this mistake? His name is Gillis. The name did not change forms because you added a possessive to it. This isn't Finnish
