I never heard of this guy except on political websites so as far as his professional accomplishments, I’m not aware of them so he must not be that big deal

Nevertheless, I read his house was one of the victims of his hoity toity neighborhood. I won’t say what goes around comes around, but I think you know what I mean.

Judd Apatow?

NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

But now that I have, after watching a few videos ,I conclude that he is a leftist touch hole of the highest order, a psychopomp, who greases the rails of society towards fascism and Deep State warfare on the People.

Apatow's glory days are now over, he and his weiner supporters pretend he is to be the godfather of US comedy.......BUT HE IS NOT. Most of them are so stupid that they had their LA homes recently incinerated because they cannot even vote to keep their community safe.


The Inevitable Downfall Of The Judd Apatow Comedy

Quote:

In the early 2000's it seemed Judd Apatow had a stranglehold on the comedy scene. Movies like The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Anchorman, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Pineapple Express were instant classics. But in 2009, his release Funny People seemed to mark a dramatic shift in Judd Apatow's career. He had moved on from the crazy, raunchy comedy, and towards a more personal take on his stories. Today he seems to be a sort of Godfather of Comedy for many up and coming creatives, and maybe that's all we need.

Unquote.

The new genuine Comedians are people like Tyrus, Kat Timph, Jimmy Faila,Raymond Arroyo .They are not Apatow scions at all.East Coast BABY!

One of the biggest Hollywood influencers of comedians getting any part on a movie, tv show, or marketing exposure. You have to project this creature's politics and social causes loudly to get anywhere in that business because he will bury you in a heartbeat. A tyrant basically which is one reason why there is no more creativity anymore; just politically correct sanitized slop for dummies.

This article seems about 4 or 5 years out of date. No one sees it as a positive that some filmmaker shoves leftwing ideology into movies anymore. And no one gives a s__t about his “political journey.” The journey was from far Left to far, far, far Left. Who cares.

Not certain, but you may be correct. The article date is January 15, 2025, which is in the future.

It makes me think there may be an autobot constantly changing the date to make it appear recent.

I’m not sure if I have seen any of his movies. He certainly does not control any of what happens in the comedy world at Fox News.

Apatow had a run of hits from the 2000s up until a decade ago. Many of them were kinda based, outrageous, and raunchy. The complaints about them being “ist” and so on came from the left. So he pivoted over time to where his newer projects are lame and unfunny.
