Hey
@FuckJerry
sorry to hear you weren’t fully paid for your work - I wonder how much money you owe comedians and everyone else for stealing their work and using some of it to create ads for your products for so many years?
Remember when people used to get fired from SNL for accidentally saying "fuck" during a sketch where they had to say "frick" like 100 times? Anyway, Jenny Slate rules and is getting a Netflix special
if anyone in Brooklyn is bored today there’s a rat on Dean right before Bedford that seems to have died while standing up so it looks frozen in time, highly recommend
companies like FuckJerry and Barstool bank on/owe their success to the fact that it's way too complicated, time-consuming, and/or intimidating for content creators to take legal action against them - this makes me so angry
Reminder to unfollow huge repost accounts like FuckJerry and instead actively seek out and support the comedians and artists who put the talent and work into creating things that entertain you because they’re way more deserving of followers and Totino’s ad dollars!
As we enter a new Mulaney news cycle, I'd like to remind journalists to please be careful in your reporting. Misinformation is such a problem these days, and we don't want to start any false rumors about him, like what happened with the whole "he wrote for SNL" thing. Thanks
look I admit I am not a political expert but I imagine there are many, many people on the ground in Georgia who have been doing the work for years and we should donate directly to them, and perhaps an account with over 2 million followers should be amplifying those people instead
I hate finding out that people who seem very kind and sweet are actually assholes. But I loooove finding out that people who seem like assholes are actually very kind and sweet. I hear too much about the former!
My piece on
#FuckFuckJerry
- why I started it, how it gained momentum, and why more people should care. Thank you to everyone who have stayed on this ride with me! I couldn't have done it without you.
Things I am proud of accomplishing over the past few weeks:
- got Ronan Farrow, Antoni Porowski, and Jonah Hill to unfollow FuckJerry
- was harassed multiple times by beigecardigan's mom on Instagram
- discovered that I am not afraid of Big Meme and that this is my life now
Jessica's story was so quickly disregarded last month, and I'm very grateful that she trusted me to help her tell it fully. Thank you to Jess and the many others who spoke with me for this.

Since I reported on Adult Swim's lack of any shows created exclusively by women in 2016, they've stopped announcing development slates, added two standalone specials from a woman, & added one comedy pilot by women that we know of. And ordered 70 more episodes of Rick and Morty.
just worked myself up into a rage because Vanity Fair wrote an article about the Game of Thrones guys' panel that was taken completely from that Twitter thread recap by an attendee, but the article goes out of its way to not credit that attendee who did all the reporting/work
if you watch Gutfeld! with the framing that Gutfeld's dying wish is to be a real late night comedy host with an audience who laughs at all his jokes, so his friends got together and planned it out and worked hard to make that wish come true for him, it's actually very sweet
"You brought the sexy back to chess, and you inspired a whole generation of girls and young women to realize that patriarchy simply has no defense against our queens" will haunt me for months
really liked what Gadsby had to say today about how "good men" shift the boundaries of what falls into the "bad men" category when misogynist bullshit they'd usually call out begins happening a little too close to home
the thing about SNL is if you tweet a Barron Trump joke you get suspended for months but if you share a critic’s name and location and say he gives stray dogs blowjobs to your half a million followers you’re totally fine

update:
@ComedyCentral
has pulled their ads from FuckJerry's IG. “Comedy Central requested to have any existing ads pulled from the FuckJerry account. We have no plans to advertise with Jerry Media in the future.”
the 500 "did Conan die?" jokes were cute but if I can be disgustingly earnest for a second it's actually nice to appreciate and talk about artists that influenced and mean a lot to us in a communal way while they're still alive and we should do it more
Coming this fall to TV: BADASS AND IN CHARGE, centering on a fierce and independent female woman who gets 👏 shit 👏 done 👏 and will NOT apologize for it! Created and executive produced by Dave, Mark, Bill, Kevin, and Jim
This is me being too optimistic, but FuckJerry's value is their 14.3m IG followers. If some celebs with tons of IG followers posted a message urging their fans to unfollow and inspired a boycott, maybe a dent could be made in that 14.3m. It's a start?
The "comedy writers" Bloomberg hired are reading our tweets right now from behind the safety of anonymity. They see what we're saying and they're maybe enjoying this stretch of time before their names are inevitably revealed by a persistent journalist. Isn't that exciting?
I spent many hours meticulously ranking
@meganamram
's best Trump tweets. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with this ranking but I did my best and worked very hard on it, please respect that
this week is already hell but if it makes you feel any better Mulaney is hosting SNL, a show a lot of people mistakenly think he used to write for, this weekend!
people having been calling out the Lincoln Project for stealing tweets - they have a partnership with Meme 2020, which is run by the CEO of FuckJerry, who was also behind the meme shilling for Bloomberg earlier this year...the more you know!
“dudewithsign” is a fascinating new development from FuckJerry, I wonder what the process is here between finding other people’s extremely mundane tweets and translating them to cardboard sign language
no, it sounds like you were banned for repeatedly harassing and sending death threats to a person who is doing a tough job for probably not a lot of money
I think if you’re a generally nice, considerate, honest person and you try your best to help others and make the world a slightly better place, and you’re over 30, and you’re honestly putting in effort to be at least a half-decent human being, your body should stop producing acne
Vulture is a clickbait blog - I wouldn’t trust them if I were trying to figure out whether or not Mulaney wrote for SNL. I think it’s just a running joke that got out of hand and too many people took it seriously
I really love this Mulaney profile! One small complaint though: It says he wrote for SNL, which, after a very quick fact check, the writer could have learned has been disproven as just a long-running joke. But aside from that, the profile is great
A lot of people are trying to correct me about Mulaney writing for SNL. I'm really shocked so many people don't know what a bit is, but I guess that explains why they mistakenly thought Mulaney's bit about writing for SNL means he actually wrote there, which he likely did not

@mulaney
was a writer on 'SNL' for 5 years. He talks about returning to host, collaborating with Pete Davidson, and drawing on his unusual childhood for stand-up material.
No disrespect to Mr. Corden but imagine

giving the Tonys the Mulaney/Bloom idea free of charge, both of them saying they want to do it, everyone on Twitter getting very excited about it, then all of us being rudely ignored
tfw when your daughter is "fucking driving you nuts" because her ambition to work hard and do well on a standardized test is getting in the way of you just bribing her way into college
No need to apologize! The “John Mulaney wrote for SNL” bit is definitely a weird bit, but I think it’s pretty cool how everyone manages to keep it going despite all the proof that it’s not true
Hi,
@theskimm
! Why not just retweet Aparna? Why screenshot someone else’s tweet then slap your own handle on it like it belongs to you? I assume she wasn’t paid, even though this post has affiliate links you make money from. Don’t you think that’s a bit gross?
Here’s the thing: lack of sleep can affect your health, your weight, your memory, your mood, your sex life, your happiness, your ability to drive, and the list goes on and on. Let’s change that. Here's how to make sleep a priority:

"50 percent of white-dude comics nowadays feel like they’ve got a hot take, which is the big problem. Shut up about your hot take. Be silly. That’s more interesting than anything."
I talked with a comedian who auditioned for SNL at a pretty weird time.
nothing made a bigger impact on my interest in comedy than consistently staying up late throughout my teens to watch Late Night and laugh all by myself and I'm far from unique in saying that

@ScottAukerman
for all the fighting and chaos we're probably going to cause on his timeline today. I am deeply sorry.
For a while now I have badly wanted a channel that marries Adult Swim’s exciting scrappy weirdo sensibility with Comedy Central’s push to nurture comedy talent. Minus AS’s track record with women, and minus CC’s tiresome glossiness. We’re missing that third slightly better thing
I'm SO glad that Bob Odenkirk is okay!! It was also really nice to see everyone tweeting about how much they love him! Let's start appreciating people while they're still with us more often, okay?
I'm not sure if it's that we're all too depressed and exhausted to care at this point or that it's only worth getting mad if a famous comedian who is a woman is also in the picture, but there were a lot more than one of these photos this summer
I've had a lot of insults thrown my way for the past 24 hours, but the Daily Show guy's tweet about how people like me have "a pre-written cancel obituary on all comics they don’t like" is a gift you can never take away from me
I've been asked which other IG accounts are part of Jerry Media, so here are the IG handles: beigecardigan, , krispyshorts, kanyedoingthings, jerrynews, foodie, pizza, vibes, and discojerry.
