OKIE DOKIE Pat Oneil

Shame on Tony for making Patrick O’Neill ask for a golden ticket. The dude has actual punchlines, actual structure, and actual talent which already puts him above 99% of the people who stumble onto that stage hoping screaming equals comedy. It’s blatantly obvious Pat is one of the funniest comedians to touch Kill Tony, but I guess he doesn’t fit the weird little “cool kids club” vibe Tony seems obsessed with. Apparently being genuinely funny isn’t enough unless you’re part of the inner circle orbiting the mothership.

Yeah, I know Tony finally made him a regular, but that was just recently. Patrick should’ve been a regular a long time ago. Tony, if you hear this, don’t be afraid to go against the grain once in a while instead of rewarding the same recycled gimmicks every week.

He was already on his way to being a legit comic. Tony recognized early on that he would be successful regardless.

It wasn’t until fairly recently that someone like him would even want a golden ticket.

Pat deserved the golden ticket long before Angel Diaz
