💼 Careercow Dan Harmon - Creator of Community, co-creator of Rick and Morty, and barely functional alcoholic

[One Man Bland]

Roiland would have met Dan through that channel 101 stuff, I think house of Cosby's was part of that and Jeff (Dan's cohost on the podcast) voiced the main character.

And whatever this is

In that case I don't what the fuck else Roiland expected. After a little more digging I found that he was also on about 8 episodes of Sarah Silverman's show, so there must've been a little overlap between that and Harmon getting fired for being a piece of shit.

I don't understand how someone can simultaneously be so ragingly insecure and still have such a massive ego.

Is there any other reason to have a massive ego besides being ragingly insecure? Confident people don't need an internal hype man.

True, though there are a lot of supremely confident douchebags and countless people who occupy the lower rungs of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Plus a lot of super-insecure people will often try to project the idea that they're amazing to cover up their insecurity without actually believing it.

Dan really does somehow seem to think he's both King Shit of Fuck Mountain as well as have skin so transparently thin that he can be worked into a slavering rage by a nobody tweeting an innocuous question at him and it's a bizarre juxtaposition of personality traits to me.

I dunno, I wouldn't say the juxtaposition by itself is bizarre given the number of 13 year olds on DeviantArt, Fanfiction.net, and Tumblr who display similar traits because they're sheltered children who so far have only been told how great a special they are and show off their shitty animu readings expecting more of the same.

What's bizarre is that Harmon is a grown man in his 40s whose supposedly a seasoned professional in his industry displaying behavior most people grow out of by the time they graduate high school.

Yeah, you articulated that better than I did. You don't expect to see a relatively successful and moderately famous man in his 40s (I think? He looks much older) who could pass for Santa's alcoholic and emotionally unstable cousin chimping out like this on a public platform.

 

[One Man Bland]

man in his 40s (I think? He looks much older

According to his imdb page he was born in 1973, making him 45. If he looks older that's probably because of the alcohol.

 

[Tubular Monkey]

I think he described himself as that weird kid in school that smelled. And if I remember my professionally successful hobo origin lore correctly, it was girls who stuck up for him when he was called out for being a smelly weirdo. He's not seeing the world as someone who came through an awkward phase of his life because he never left that phase. He puts women up on a pedestal because they white knighted him, but resents them because he was a smelly kid who needed to be rescued by women. Just add alcohol and you've got the recipe for destroying a niche cartoon.

So basically, he's like Chris thinking women are all special and sweet because he was allowed to sit at a lunch table with some of them in high school.

Yeah that sounds about right. We all know they gossiped behind his back though.

 

[Tubular Monkey]

If we discover that Harmon's dad paid those girls to stick up for him, the story circle will be complete.

Now if only a 13 year old would pretend to be an older woman to trick Danny-boy.

Just as long as the circle ends before we get a Julay video.

Also, Dobson. The holy trinity of Harmon, Dobson, and Chandler.

At least one of his precious female writers is probably 3 grade schoolers sitting on each other's shoulders in a trench coat.

Saw this on twitter, decided you all had to as well.

You railroad cops aren't doing your jobs, you were supposed to throw this hobo out at St. Joe!

Seriously though, I've beaten this drum once and I'll beat it again...Closing down the insane asylums was the Reagan Administration's biggest mistake. Dan needs more help than the bottom shelf at Total Wine can give him.

 

[One Man Bland]

Harmon's mentioned that he's been seeing a therapist once or twice in the last few years, but whoever they are it doesn't seem like they've been much help. Knowing Harmon he shopped around for a therapist who'd validates all his shitty behavior because he can't stand being told he's wrong.

On a semi-related note, apparently his dog was/is still at the animal hospital if this tweet was anything to go by:

And, if this tweet from a fan is accurate, Dan's known his dog was having problems for days:

I suspect whatever Harmon does when he's not tweeting/podcasting, it sure is shit isn't taking care of his dog. Speaking of which, I'm surprised no one's shared any tweets from his "fans" because hoo boy they can be as insufferable as Harmon himself

Spoiler: To be fair you have to have a high IQ to follow Dan Harmon...

 

[Tubular Monkey]

In a double blind test, you wouldn't be able to tell which tweet was from Harmon and which was from a homeless person. It's just that 20-somethings don't celebrate the homeless person as a hipster poetic laureate.

A homeless person could at least be caught sleeping all day and leaving others to their own devices, Dan is going to have a stroke at the rate he's engaging in self pity to entertain the pseudo-intellectual sheep.
