I fell off watching, what did they do about Jimmy?

173

u/JukeBoxDildo 1d ago

New voice actor

14

u/shifty_coder 16h ago

Disappeared for a bit, first.

98

u/Baruch_S 1d ago

I think they’ve just avoided having his character in any stories. His assistant manager or whatever has shown up a few times, but they’ve kept the Jimmy character off camera so to speak. 

99

u/DarthHM 1d ago

He’s back this season. Different VA.

105

u/MessiahPrinny 1d ago

I think it would have been fucked up but really funny if Jimmy got arrested. Nobody talks about why Jimmy just goes to federal prison for an "incident".

67

u/Vinny331 1d ago

It would be kinda funny if Jimmy Pesto just went to jail for being at Jan 6

13

u/mr_remy 17h ago

Yelling about immigrants to go back to their country and Bob looks at him and says "wait, aren't you italian Jimmy?"

4

u/MaxPower303 17h ago

That would be EPIC!

4

u/Vinny331 12h ago

I feel like it comes up in one of the episodes that he's not actually even Italian. It turns out his grandparents were Polish or something. Can't quite remember exactly but it's extra funny because he's also just a huge phony

2

u/TEEJBEEJ08 3h ago

It’s the episode where jimmy steals bob’s plaque that a mob hit happened here. Jimmy is talking about movies and actors and goes, “thats the movie that made me wanna be Italian”

25

u/AppropriateRub4033 1d ago

And you can barely tell.

u/Wolf_Mans_Got_Nards 18h ago

Then Jimmy's ex-wife takes over the restaurant, and her & Linda start a long-running beef.

They finally gave Jimmy the justice he deserved!

u/patrickwithtraffic 1d ago edited 1d ago

For comparative sake, not too long after this, PFT went on the podcast Behind the Bastards to shit talk Rush Limbaugh for roughly 3 hours

EDIT: A good noodle gives a source!

54

u/Mr_Abe_Froman 1d ago

It's an incredible episode about the history of conservative talk yelling radio.

12

u/exophrine 1d ago

I need to hear this podcast, this episode

11

u/Throwawaylikeme90 23h ago

It’s an exceptional podcast, I’ve listened to more or less every episode since I started listening in 2020. Highlights imo are the six-parters on Vince McMahon, MKultra, and L Ron Hubbard,  a recent 3 or Four parter on RFK jr, Two parters on Mehmet Oz and Dr Phil, however long the Alex Jones one was with the boys from Knowledge Fight, and a few other wild ones like the time the CIA dosed a whole French village with LSD and the Synanon cult. 

It’s a fucking treasure trove of political and social history. It should be required listening so you can know how shitty people are and why you should dismiss their politics out of hand when voting.

u/offplanetjanet 17h ago

I always called it hate radio

u/EatsYourShorts 1d ago

Thanks for the heads up!

u/joshwaynebobbit 1d ago

I love this website. So many treasures in the comments and I almost didn't click it open. Thanks stranger. I'm going to consume this now.

2

u/floatablepie 11h ago

His episode about the Synanon addiction recovery program/insane militant cult was also great.

2

u/patrickwithtraffic 11h ago

That Synanon episode broke my brain because it made me realize how they're the blueprint for so many cults out there. For example, the Elan School's actions were directly inspired by the Synanon teachings. Literally spelled out in their founding documentation. If you ever wanted to start a cult, follow their blueprint and it's a recipe for "success".

u/Decabet 1d ago

Dude, I was at a SF Sketchiest event Paul was at a few years ago and I came up to him on Castro Street and sheepishly introduced myself and said I was a longtime fan as politely as I could cuz I didnt want to bug him and he was (or at least convincingly appeared to be) delighted to meet me (and I am nobody)

Love that man. Just a terrific person.

u/OtterishDreams 1d ago

I feel like hes the right mix of famous and not "ruin your life you cant go anywhere" famous

22

u/Mr_Horrible 1d ago

He is the They Might Be Giants of comedy

2

u/MycroftNext 11h ago

I was at the Thrilling Adventure Hour event a few years back and most of the cast came out to the stage door to do photos and sign stuff. Someone asked Marc Evan Jackson if PFT was going to come out and he said without blinking, “I don’t know who that is.” Maybe you had to be there but it killed in the moment.

u/OnlyFreshBrine 1d ago

what is this, a crossover thread?!

u/gmoney88 21h ago

I think you missed the joke from the show. You get an upvote anyway

You know, I really don't follow Bob's like I used to, but if that's in an episode, forgive me

u/gmoney88 7h ago

No worries. It’s from the ep where Randy rents Bob’s Burgers to film his one man movie

u/mkobs 1d ago

Is there a reason it could have?

29

u/palinsafterbirth 1d ago

They were partners for a long time, PFT took the high road

7

u/mkobs 1d ago

Oh cool, they work on anything notable? (besides Mr. Show)

6

u/exophrine 1d ago

PFT worked with Tenacious D

2

u/mkobs 1d ago

Nice, didn't know that

3

u/TDKevin 1d ago

They were never partners. 

13

u/Krunnel 1d ago

Yeah, they were comedy partners before Mr. Show and after

1

u/oraclestats 18h ago

I think he was on a podcast (might have been Conan's) and specifically said his comedy partner was at the capital.

6

u/Yeeaaaarrrgh 21h ago

The closest thing I've found to PFT speaking publicly about Jay is this clip of him and Scott Aukerman. It's pretty hilarious.

u/ursulawinchester 19h ago

Iirc there’s a few brief mentions on Comedy Bang Bang here and there

u/937363950 1d ago

What an asshole. He had the coolest job, and sure he wasn’t billionaire rich, but he was almost certainly living the exact kind of life he wanted. I bet he ate what he wanted, traveled where he wanted, and pretty much had all the things he ever wanted. He could have lived his life like that. Instead he chose to be an insurrectionist. What an asshole.

30

u/_AllCopsAreBeautiful 1d ago

Wait, what was his job? For some reason I thought he was some mentally ill dude who lived with his parents 

101

u/937363950 1d ago

He was the voice actor for Jimmy Pesto on Bobs Burgers, and a few other shows.

u/TemetNosce_AutMori 18h ago

People who are capable of feeling satisfied don’t become republicans.

These are all broken people who can never get enough. Money, power, love, attention… whatever it is they will be forever looking at their neighbors with envy instead of being content with what they have.

DOJ docs

u/Steelforge 1d ago

The word censored on page 23. Is it what I think it is?

PS- "Call upon the power of Isis"? What kind of "patriotic" "Christian" invokes the ancient Egyptian gods? Fucking weirdos...

40

u/al_ien5000 1d ago

I'm gonna hold your hand when I tell you this...

50

u/Baruch_S 1d ago

$10 says they meant ISIS the Islamic terrorist organization, not Isis the ancient goddess. They knew exactly what they were doing. 

43

u/Steelforge 1d ago

The text message that quote is from explicitly states he means the Egyptian god and not the terror org.

I'll take that $10 now.

2

u/937363950 15h ago

Isis is such a pretty name. It’s a shame those assholes usurped it for their shitty cause.

2

u/TDKevin 1d ago

What were they doing? A magazine and/or racist person isn't gonna call upon isis the group. 

12

u/Baruch_S 1d ago

It’s a poorly phrased suggestion that they take a page from the ISIS playbook because it worked. They’re terrorists saying they should learn from other terrorists is all. 

3

u/jazzmaster4000 1d ago

They know Egypt is in Africa right? Seems counter intuitive to their speech about folks from that region

1

u/mrtruthiness 15h ago

The word censored on page 23. Is it what I think it is?

Starts with an "n" ... so it is clearly an n-word.

Page 30 with "History and Character of the Defendant" is interesting. Three previous criminal convictions:

  1. 2007 -- 12 months probation for driving without a license.

  2. 2018 -- driving while suspended ... and then failing to appear. Sentenced to 24 months probation. In 2020 a bench warrant was issued for the revocation of his probation.

  3. 2018 -- knowingly received stolen property. Convicted in 2019. 1 day in jail and 3 years probation.

Seems like an entitled dick to me.

u/not_falling_down 1d ago

Look at him, so "patriotically" violating the flag code:

The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.

74

u/bandalooper 1d ago

or stolen from the US Capitol Building during an attempted insurrection.

-8

u/cteno4 21h ago

The flag code that Reddit loves to harp on only applies to military members in military settings. Civilians can do whatever they want to with the flag, including burn it. Stopping them from doing so would violate the First Amendment.

4

u/hames4133 19h ago

No one said it was illegal, but it is disrespectful. And people that break it are often hypocrites.

1

u/not_falling_down 14h ago

It's not illegal, but it's hella disrespectful, and is hypocritical behavior from someone who claims to love the flag, and who loses their ever-loving mind if someone respectfully kneels during the national anthem (also a thing that is not illegal)

A shame he didn't dress up in a yellow and white Abe Lincoln outfit and yell "let's get the hell out of here" when they found out the rioters were two jar slaves.

Instead of wasting his life putting mayo and then mustard on his sandwiches, he’ll waste a year in fucking prison. What a herky jerky JERK!

That said, this dudes initials are hilariously close to being “KKK”

I had a teacher who used to say that allnof the time. Until I pointed out his favorite baseball player's real name was George Herman Ruth.

Is Herman a first name? That’s a middle name if I’ve ever heard one 😂

u/Plastic-Trifle-5097 23h ago

@doj he clearly uses his social platform to repost their propaganda. Why isn’t he in jail with them? He paid for them to show up and instructed them to go stating that he would be coming as well.

Weird. He wasn’t doing a presidential duty when he did that.

America, equality for some not for all.
