I’ve decided to start calling him Ben Smoothgroin.

Ben Xpiro. I can't be the first person to have thought this.

He should take himself on an Unintentionally Humorous Tour with a skit on "Being Ben." All of my weirdnesses fade into normalcy compared to this guy. It's almost therapeutic.

Somebody should take that little twerp aside and explain to him, using really short words, how having a laugh that sounds like a sick babby goat does not bolster his ridiculous claim to masculinity.

Boy aint right

I always get him confused with Box Turtle Ben, who is actually Meeee-gan McArglebargle's husband.

Why does anyone take this guy seriously? I mean, anyone?

He clearly has Daddy Issues and Mommy Issues and Female Wetness Issues and Issue Issues.

(Raises hand) Oh, oh, I know! Because dark money funds him and his K-razy rants.

TBH, I haven't gone to the movies since Trump made it lethally dangerous to do so and neither Barbie nor Oppenheimer tempted that much but now I feel like it a civic duty to see them.

Congratulations Ben, you weird, weird action figure.

You'd think Ben would be used to being dragged by now...

Huh. Did Ken wear bluejeans and a black t-shirt, if so, that's my teaching uniform.

Black jeans and a black tee

People dressed like Ben does now in 1993--when no one thought it was weird--and if we were trying to make points with someone--opposite gender or same--by going to see a movie, we'd deal with it. This was before every fucking thing was on the internet

Dude's aspiration was to write for "The Good Wife". Probably a moderately half way reasonable goal since there was never any continuity from season to season and he could've slipped in some of his stupid right wing brain vomit.

I have never thought of "jeans and a t-shirt" as emblematic of any time period except post-1945. It is how I dress to teach high school.

(Commenter FKA Mailman 27) Shapiro just keeps getting closer to whatever edge it is he's about to topple over.

When's he going to start ranting about Oppenheimer being a commie?

I love the fact that if they are actually *watching* the movie before commenting on it, they are probably sneaking in hoping to be unnoticed.

I figure someone discovering this video in like twenty years will probably just assume it’s some cringe sketch comedy bit—a little like the Ricky Gervais character on The Office—driven by the protagonist’s myriad insecurities, these vividly obvious to everyone but he himself. And wonder why humour of this era was so very broad and unsubtle.

Ben Shapiro is the type of person who, as an adult, draws genitalia on Barbie dolls.

And keeps getting them weirdly wrong? Yep, that's our Benny!
