No wonder Sorbo posts so much, it’s the only place he has an audience.
The Systems Commonwealth truly has fallen.
It’s not actually that simple.
The difference between boycotting vs “just not eating there” is that the former is a loud movement, instead of a simple quiet preference that the free market will take care of itself.
Kevin is implying that people who don’t band together to actively fight wrongdoing are somehow superior. However what he’s really advocating for is divide and conquer in order to maintain the status quo.
Steve is usually funny and correct, but this time in doing so has missed a greater, more important, point.
Kevin isn’t capable of complex thoughts on that level.
Analyzing it is complex, but the behavior itself is more instinctual. I think Kevin feels the difference, but doesn’t think about it rationally.
I do think categorizing Steve’s comments as “wrong” vastly oversimplified the exchange, though. He’s pulling the emotional argument Kevin is making into a rational one, which is the point of the exchange.
This is partially my fault. When people started to boycott chick fillet I misheard their call to action and enacted a blockade upon their establishments. He must have seen one of the frigates I had patrolling in the parking lot and mistaken boycott for blockade.
Now I want Satan Shoes!
(Context: Kratos is beating Hercules’ face in and he was voice by Sorbo)
Oh, I thought it was that calling out Kevin Sorbo as an idiot was like beating a dead horse.
Nah, can never bash Kevin Sorbo enough.
Damn this guy is so stupid I had to look up “Satan Shoes” because I was sure he meant Satin Shoes…
i thought he was talking about prada
WTF makes shoes out of satin?
Shoes for bridesmaids are often satin because they’re easy to dye
Well if you don’t like them, don’t buy them
People who sell shoes to those with more money than sense
Oh, peanut.
Kevin Sorbo was never intelligent to begin with
The brain damage didn’t help. It was after that when he went full red-hat
Is it true his surname is really Sorbeaux but he kept misspelling it?
One correction for Sorbo: People weren’t boycotting Chik-fil-a for “being christian”. There are tens of thousands of businesses that are “christen”. It was Chik-fil-a’s large donations to homophobic groups and the president of the company at the time Dan Cathy making public homophobic statements.
Be whatever religion you want, but when you use your money and power to repress other people, that’s where you earn a boycott.
I’d argue chic-fil-a is especially NOT Christian for refusing to love their neighbor as themselves.
I’d suggest you take a look at the last millennium and a half of Christian history.
I will similarly argue there was a WHOLE lot of bad done by folks labeling themselves as Christians during that time period.
I’m not a Christian, but I was raised as one and I know what I was taught goes in the face of most of all of the things they do.
That’s because Christianity basically just exists to justify hating others.
The true Christians are the ones that are good and do everything we agree on. Meanwhile the true Muslims are the ones that value Jihad and violence above everything else. Not like those Christians (the good ones).
Are you even American?
The rules are all made up and the points don’t matter. They’re just a Christian as any other Christian I’ve ever met.
Bingo. Exactly why I won’t eat there.
To morons like Sorbo homophobia=Christianity.
Because of him I can’t get into watching Andromeda. Is it even a good show?
If you can get past the pro religion undertones. But it was a ok show, kinda a cross between Farscape and Star Trek but the worst of both of them.
I enjoyed it up till the last season. The last season was just dumb and kind of a temporary reset.
Basically Andromeda is ‘we have Star Trek Discovery (in the 32nd century) at home.’
All the shit Discovery skipped rebuilding the Federation is basically in Andromeda.
The first couple seasons were OK. You’re not really missing anything.
MRW I hear Kevin Sorbo speak or write anything since 1999 when Hercules wrapped.
He’s a gold mine for God Awful Movies. As is Kirk Cameron and David A. R. White.
I’d like to say I boycott chick-fil-A because of the anti gay thing but its because I actually tried it awhile back and was like meh. Certainly not worth the price and that was way before the recent inflation times. Its the same with walmart. Wish it was prinicple but man even the parking lot triggers me. Actually being in the store is just hell.
Chick-fil-A creeps me out, because people are i n s a n e for it. Like, cars lined up around the block.
Yeah my wife and I drove down to virginia and there was one across from where we were staying and I could not believe the line. Its like if it were cheap with no line I might buy their faire. And I mean I will shell out and wait for quality. There is a non chain burger place by me that has really limited hours run by some brothers. It opens for lunch and then just late enough so folks can pick something up on the way home from work so like 6pm or something. Always has a line and man it is worth it.
I never got the whole Chick-fil-A thing. It’s just a fast food chicken sandwich. It’s good, as far as fast food chicken sandwiches go, but that’s it. It’s definitely not the orgasmically awesome food experience some people make it out to be.
It’s consistently good, and the service is second to none. Every other fast food place has some bad locations, or you show up at the wrong time and it’s not fresh, the service is terrible, or the people working there are clearly just not trying.
Chick-Fil-A maintains consistency by limiting their hours and treating their employees better. Their ingredients are also top notch for fast food. Good salads.
And good soda fountains. Chick-Fil-A and Whataburger are the only two places left with good fountain Coke.
I still hate their politics, but there’s a reason they’ve always got a line around the block at lunchtime, and it’s not because the service is slow (because it isn’t).
I mean I have popeyes around here and no chain holds a candle to their offerings.
Not all of us have decent fast food chicken chains; out on the West Coast I had 4 Chick-fil-A within easy driving distance before I had one Raising Cane’s or Popeye’s within an hour of my house.
Plus, Chick-fil-A is almost more about the sauce than the chicken. The chicken is ok, but the sauce is chef’s kiss
Honestly that is just sad to me. Unless its something like pizza or pasta a place should not be riding on the quality of its sauce.
I’m not sure I agree; think about barbeque, Mexican food, Chinese food, curry, salad dressing… Hell, eggs benedict. Ask any chef if sauce is important, and they’ll tell you that there’s an entire position in high-end kitchens dedicated almost exclusively to sauces (saucier). Since a sauce can be as much an integral part of a meal as the breading on the chicken, I tend to disagree.
Your preferred style of fried chicken sandwich may not heavily feature sauce, but other styles do.
Im not saying sauce isn’t important but if its all you bring to the table its not going to be enough. Especially the main ingredient like chicken in a chicken sandwich. I mean its great if the sauce is great but if the thing minus sauce not good or even meh then even the best will not save it.
Fair. I’m still of the opinion that a good sauce can save a mediocre meal and that’s not necessarily a problem, but I respect your opinion as well
Steve Hofstetter is a great comedian and has the best comebacks. He is wasted on this “explaining words to Kevin Sorbo”-series, there’s no character growth, no shred of understanding, no positive character arc, Kevin just keeps mouth-shitting bullpucky every week and Steve or Lucy Lawless or a five year old have to explain to him that he’s saying dumb shit.
Steve Hofstetter is a national treasure.
But Lucy Lawless teasing Kevin? That I have to see.
It’s a whole thing she’s been shooting down his shit-takes for years now.
Your link takes me to an Ecosia 404, but it may just be me. It’s not a site I’ve visited before.
Alright, let’s try something different then
Steve is absolute Gold though
That certainly works for me, thank you for taking the trouble!
I don’t think that man can go a month without self owning on social media
Is this someone I should know for some reason?
he starred a very good hercules tv series in the 90’s. hasn’t done much else notable.
Andromeda was okay at first. Then Sorbo started insisting on more creative control and it went down the toilet.
I mean, this is a really old tweet. He’s tweeted a lot of stupid shit, because he’s a moron, but who knows if he’s still tweeting self-owns? How would one even find out?
Still posting a lot of stupid shit. Didn’t scroll far enough to get to any self-owns.
Jesus that guy is a bigger piece of shit than I thought.
Sheesh
I presume the same way we found out about this one - finding a screenshot randomly reposted on social media.
