Joel with the assist to get the crowd going again 😂😂😂

Joel's delivery is perfect at that moment

Abe doesn't know how to be nice for nice's sake. He's brutally honest, too much for his own good.

[@joedorben3504]

His literal job is to be brutally honest, and like he said he was nice, he hepd back on criticisms of the show itself andd used it as a launching point to talk about the state of theatre in the country as a whole

[@royalewithcheese7]

That’s the kind of review I want, an honest one.

[@gmh471]

@@joedorben3504 No, his job is to fairly review a piece of theater and he could have done that without making that one show an example of the overall decline of American theater. Only an asshole does that.

[@TheHomerowKeys]

@@gmh471 Actually, you can (and should) do that with many shows. If you don't like something, you're allowed to say why and how it is affecting the rest of an industry. People should be doing that with Marvel films right now! They've ruined the Hollywood Blockbuster.

Not everyone dragging Midges acting in the Catskills 😂

The gratest closing line in a conversation ever!

They can’t be mad at him. It’s his job to write kind of things.

[@Mycroft93]

This happened at my job when I said Rent was an overrated musical. I’ve never seen so many people turn against me so quickly. It was biblical. But I still stand by my statement.

[@gheller2261]

And you would still be objectively wrong.

[@Mycroft93]

@@gheller2261 I acknowledge you like it. I do not. It has three (And that's being VERY generous) good songs. I apologize for nothing.

[@marjoriegarland2798]

Rent was a overrated musical! Ugh,!

[@agenttheater5]

1:15 I mean I do see Abe's point in it but like the other man said, it doesn't hurt anyone, it's a fun night out with friends and family. And he could've just written 1000 words on the history of the show at Steiner resort, makes it sound open and friendly, makes people think of summer holidays and fun times during the summer, the Village Voice won't mind one sentimental story occasionally. Plus Abe's point about it taking time and attention away from an actual great show would make much more sense if he'd actually had another specific show in mind. For some reason that interaction just made me think of "Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?" from 'Twelfth Night', basically saying that just because someone has high values and principles then that means no one else can have fun? I'd also like to point out that technically the rabbi was the one who ruined it by spitting poison at Abe during the ceremony rather than spit poison and give him dirty looks at the after party, but who's going to blame the rabbi?

[@okonh0wp]

Yeah, that’s fair that the rabbi screwed up the kids bar mitzvah

[@michaelscarn5625]

Perhaps, but as Ave said, he's a journalist and his job is to speak the truth. His reputation is at risk if he lies about what he reviews

[@agenttheater5]

@@michaelscarn5625 fair point

But Kane killed Abel with a Stone and bashed Abel's head with it I don't think there was a knife in the story

[@Iamjustherek]

Yeah I always thought it was a rock he got from tilling the land

[@petekdemircioglu]

Big traitor

[@royalewithcheese7]

And his daughter’s acting stunk up play!

[@hellund2874]

Abe is like a 1950s Jewish Sheldon Cooper: he does not aim to hurt anyone, but he has no filter and despite his high IQ can't understand why being brutally honest is not always in everyone's best interest.

[@joedorben3504]

That's got nothing to do with this scene and he is absolutely nothing like Sheldon Cooper bruh

[@hellund2874]

@@joedorben3504 Really? I see parallels: scientific genius, always annoyed by people, likes his routines and comfort zone, tells students to their face that they are too dumb for maths, etc. Up for interpretation I guess...

[@marthacastro9162]

​@@joedorben3504 Parallels are there for sure!

[@gmh471]

@@joedorben3504 He actually has some of Sheldon's qualities, so I appreciate the observation. Abe is almost always inside his own head and obsessed with how HE perceives things. And this review was not the only time that he said things without considering the affect on other people. Indeed, the way he conducted his classes was not unlike how Sheldon might.

[@tigerjonn]

WHO SAID THAT!?! lol

[@okonh0wp]

I like how they paint Midge as a primadonna in denial sometimes

[@aliciaoakstream619]

Midge was ready to throw hands lol
