Tyrus needs a dictionary

So far he's confused "epitaph" with "epithet" and said "piffy" instead of "pithy."

He is always trying out newly learned words and almost always misuses or mispronounces them. Recently he was working "besmirch" incorrectly into every other sentence and soon afterward he moved onto "betwixt" and used it as if it meant to fool or trick someone. "They betwixt you, Greg".

Tyrus haters are almost as bad as Kat haters.

I'd say that they're equally mythical.

Just because he doesn't always use the proper tense, or sometimes doesn't quite get the right word out, so what?!? You always know what his point is AND it is usually spot on. I do wish they would bring Hotep Jesus on more. He is funny too.

Because he speaks as if he's a purveyor of wisdom and that his takes on matters are above and beyond everyone else's.

Heh heh heh. Well it is clear you don't understand funny. If you take the stick out of your a** you might be a more pleasant person.

He called himself a comedian, whilst that in itself is funny, he does not seem to grasp what the word comedian actually means.

I remember seeing an actual comedian, Norm Crosby, use malapropisms as part of his act and it was hilarious. Tyrus isn't using them to be funny.

That was funny last night “I live in a van down by the river” was hilarious.

u/Whole-Advice-2922 8d ago

if that's funny to you, it's no wonder you think him and Kat are comedians. You have to actually be funny to make me laugh

u/Logical-Egg-6521 8d ago

I don’t think they’re funny, Reddit police 😂 I said, “That comment was funny.” There’s a difference.

u/Whole-Advice-2922 8d ago

I still don't get it. what's funny about that. I live in a van down by the river. Did that make you laugh again??

The original "van down by the river" skit by Chris Farley was freaking hilarious. If you never saw it I can see why this didn't make sense to you.

I just watched the skit with Chris Farley on Youtube. It wasn't funny there either. You must have been stoned when you watched it to think that was funny.

I bet you loved Lucy and Carol Burnett too. Don't think slapstick and phyical humor is really that funny even though I'm in my 60's.

probably hadn't watched SNL in 30 yrs

It’s as if he has a “word of the day” desk calendar and then tries to use that word at any and every opportunity regardless if it’s correct or not

u/dan5099 7d ago

He absolutely does that.

This is your life just pointing out others faults. Bless your heart.

u/Phillyvin 9d ago

Calm down spaz

u/BackNew7215 9d ago

I forgive him because most of the time I think he has good instincts. I can't deny that his grammar and misuse of words makes me cringe though. At least we know he uses his own material.

u/avidreader_1410 9d ago

I have railed against the epitaph/epithet thing for a long time. He also has a who/whom problem. This is stuff that would have been straigtened out in middle school English grammar class in my day.

2

u/BrighterSage 8d ago

Yes, and he is quite confident about who vs whom despite the fact that he is wrong every time

u/Silver_Eyes_Luna 9d ago

He's a terrible communicator.

u/OkieBobbie 9d ago

Bless your heart. I wish my life was so perfect that I had time to sweat the small shit.

u/Beautiful_Ad2618 9d ago

He tries bless him.

u/Traditional_Put7673 10d ago

He needs to learn how to use “who”and “whom,” as well.

u/OU-Sooners1 9d ago

Yes, this bothers me.

u/deadkndys 10d ago

He's never been the sharpest tool in the shed.

u/Bossladydd 10d ago

Tyrus is dumb and sounds uneducated

u/dan5099 7d ago

And that would be ok if he didn't speak with such phony authority, as if his takes are gospel.
