He's leaning into the archetype, sure, but it's not a parody. People that know him are reporting that he's mostly "just like that", only now he's making videos.

>leaving the whole monologue sounding like one long breathless sentence Unfortunately, the trend (piloted by South Park and cemented by Family Guy) of humorous media these days is to have as many jokes packed in as densely as possible and rely on the fast-fire rate to compensate for the weaker jokes.

Can confirm. I've met him, briefly - he's not quite as 'full on' in person as when performing to a camera but it's not an act.


Oh, I'm sure.

I expect (hope) that IRL he takes a breath between sentences, and while I've met people who manage to have a swear:meaning word ratio of 1:10 or higher ... I expect he's actually much more thoughtful in person, as he's clearly a smart guy. But I wasn't trying to assert otherwise in my earlier comment.
