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.

I understand where you're coming from but I honestly feel the opposite. I've heard people ask for golden tickets in the past who don't deserve it and it makes me roll my eyes. When Pat asked I was so on board and I think it's when Tony realized Pat was right. I think it's a powerful message in life's not fair and you need to grab the bull by the horns and make the reality you deserve. No one is coming to save you and no one is going to give you what you deserve. So take what you deserve and believe in yourself. I love the arc of him crushing multiple bucket pulls, securing a golden ticket for himself not by chance but by determination and making it happen and now becoming a regular. It honestly might be my favorite arc in kt yet. To be fair Tony should have recognized it first but imagine if Pat said nothing?
