Comedian Pokes Fun At “Conservative Logic” By “Defending” 30 Of The Most Evil Villains
Comedy is one of those few things that seems like it will never hit the bottom of the barrel. As long as the world continues to spin, people will continue to come up with ways to keep everyone entertained through laughter.
Take Greg Larsen, for instance. The award-winning actor, writer, director, and comedian went to Twitter asking people to share names of those who are universally agreed to be evil. You know, people like genocidal dictators, serial killers, and just plain baddies, whether real or fictional.
This way, he challenged himself to defend them and their actions using “conservative logic.” And the internet delivered, bringing in nearly 80,000 likes and over 18,000 retweets, suggesting some of the seemingly most undefendable people (and non-humans) in history.

I always felt bad for the guy, just like Tom from Tom&Jerry

Well, I see what he's trying to do, somewhat successfully. I take his point, but at the risk of getting downvoted into oblivion, I will say that context does matter.
Bam baby. I have 3 Tattoos of Mr. Wile E Coyote...... SUPER GENIUS People seem to forget the "Super Genius" part of His Name!! There is nothing Evil about Wile E. If people now believe he is Evil and I'm sure some say this cartoon is Promoting violence and I'm guessing some think Racist, please stop this crap. I am 45yrs old and watched and read these cartoons and books and these thoughts of racism and though of being violent towards other never occurred to me. Then again I am not a follower. I use my brain and make my own choices not what other tell me to do or think. Hate all you want, stop being so sensitive.
Greg Larsen is an award-winning actor, writer, director, comedian and podcaster from Melbourne, Australia. He’s best known for his work in The Grub Podcast, At Home Alone Together, Get Krack!n, and Tonightly with Tom Ballard.
Back in August of 2020, Greg went to Twitter with a bit of a wild idea—he asked his followers to name the absolute most evil people on the planet—people like genocidal dictators, serial killers, and the like.
He wasn't. He had a short sighted plan that was based on genocide (that would have to be reiterated every 50 years or so to even work) rather than trying to make the system more efficient.

Load More Replies...Anyone who reads the Bible with no background knowledge of religion would come to the same conclusion. It’s so obvious that Yahweh / God is the criminal / bad guy of the Bible.
Load More Replies...After mulling over the whole story, the moral is: When you get smart, you get thrown out! Stay dumb, obey the rules and you can stay. Not much of a choice. Good only has one face, evil has many and it's a whole lot more fun.
The internet was keen to respond immediately after this tweet went live. Now, many were posting actual historical figures, like Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Kim Jong Un, but others spiced it up, suggesting more than just politicians and infamous people in history.
The list quickly grew with the likes of Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones, Immortan Joe from Mad Max, Bowser from the Mario universe, The Borg from Star Trek, and many more.
I wish this wasn't a joke to someone I know... They say, "I see plenty of trees." Well, yes, we live next to a NATIONAL FOREST......
Best one yet! I have 2 in my front yard so everything must be fine is quintessential gop
1 person can live off 2 trees so youll need like billions and millions of trees-
Plenty more where that came from. Uh oh! All the forests are gone. Damn democrats! It's all Obama's fault! (Somehow?)
I know he's playing devil's advocate but I still have to disagree
Covid literally destroyed the annual influenza epidemic. Good on you Covid-19.
Bringing people together? I haven't hugged anyone in over a year, dammit.
It's not covid's fault you didn't form a family as it's naturally intended by the Lord (playing along please don't think I actually think that)
Load More Replies...these are funny but real conservative logic would insist that covid-19 is a government lie made up to force us to wear masks so that we lose oxygen and die
This kind of logic is tricking us into thinking it makes sense. "Creating healthcare work" sounds good, but when you think about it it's not like healthcare professionals were sitting on their hands bored out of their minds before. They already had mroe work than they could handle. "Bringing people together" is patently false in the US (and, in literal sense, everywhere). It's a nice sentiment that we're in this together but it's not worth the actual separation from our loved ones. Also, confilicts are still a thing. "Raging success in the virus world" is clearly the opposite of "good for humans"; it's like saying the Vietnam was was a success - for some, it was. Sorry for going off on a tangent but I thought this was a good opportunity to get deeper into this.
Load More Replies...HELPING THE BRITISH ECONOMY- LMAO WHY IS THIS SOMETHING THEY WOULD ACTUALLY SAY
Also saved so many good guys from temptation by only targeting bad women
Yet others took a more comic approach and suggested defending the likes of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons, Wile E. Coyote from Road Runner, and Ursula from The Little Mermaid. There was even one person who put up a picture of Vegemite iSnack 2.0 and asked to defend the marketing guy who invented it.
I heard this argument from a libertarian earlier today. Not the Bundy part, but the rest of it.
I just ran into two libertarians for the first time lately. They seem as unbalanced as conservatives.
Load More Replies...i understood how terrible his actions were, but just to be clear, these are all meant as a joke (not to be rude) <3
Load More Replies...lol my dad tried to defend Hitler once because the Jews were "thieves and destroying Germany" too. I love my dad but I don't...really... like him
This perfectly illustrates the insane hurdles Conservative brains jump through to land at such mind-bogglingly wrong conclusions. Hats off to this man for making it so convincing that the Bored Panda commenters forgot what satire is & think he's being serious.
I've actually heard someone talking that way about him and they weren't joking : (
And note also that without A.Hitler, Winston Churchill would have been remembered only for the disaster of the Dardanelles... And as a French humorist said once, De Gaulle owes everything to him also.
It’s so gross how everyone was cool with all the other stuff but this one gets everyone to leave dumb responses like “uh no too far.” Just very revealing.
I actually have to agree to this one. There was no identity theft, as she made up a person, there was no kidnapping because a contract was signed. All her actions were technically legal.
Load More Replies...technically ursula was really nice she could have giving ariel like goat legs or sum
damn but if you really think about it, the movie never said why she was the "evil" sea witch. and tbh she never did anything bad....she just made a deal with ariel and told her the facts of the deal..........ARIEL BROKE THE DEAL EVEN THO SHE SIGNED A CONTRACT! ARIEL IS THE VILLAIN!
Oh, wait. There's another explanation. Ursula took the form of a beautiful young girl, to tell Ariel that she was making a mistake and giving up her life for a man who probably didn't love her back and would leave her when a younger prettier girl came along.
The only terrible thing Ursula did was not having a lawyer, the system placed by a tyrant played her, she had a legal contract
Honestly Ursula was so nice to her. She gave Ariel pretty, lanky, pale long legs that worked fine, as well as took away her voice so she wouldn’t make a fool of herself in front of Eric. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Hero of the story
well, I mean... what she did wrong..let's see here... her EXISTENCE!
If you don’t understand the thread, why are you here? You don’t comprehend the premise.

But before you go, why not let us know which defenses you loved the most or what other evil people you would like to see defended in the comment section below!
I feel like I have to post something, because currently there are no comments here
Depends on your jurisdiction! Just like euthanasia. (Unrelatedly, I heard the method influences the flavor but I've always stuck to the same so I don't know.)
Load More Replies...Satan punishes the bad guys so doesn't that make him a good guy?
Load More Replies...Satan is just doing a job. The job of punishing the wicked. So what if he also raises cool badass biker gangs with red skin and beautiful... parts?
Umm Satan doesn't punish people. He's the one who tempts people to do bad...
Load More Replies...Actually now that we think about it? Is Satan even a bad guy. I mean he literally punishes the people that go to hell.
If he punishes people for going to hell then he would be a bad guy, because infinite torture for finite crimes is not moral. Thankfully Satan doesn’t actually punish people on behalf of Yahweh. He just lives with them and tries to get them to see the truth and join him in hell. In the Bible, hell is just being separated from god. Which seems like a good thing.
Load More Replies...Satan gives people a place to stay if they're not accepted into heaven. Since i'm Gay, i most likely won't be accepted to heaven. he is giving me a place to stay.
You can come over and join me and my Non-Christian friends. We got a spot reserved with a bunch of snacks.
Load More Replies...bruh tf we dont even know if satans real.....hes a biblical character XD
Wasn't he a rapist who killed little kids? There not much defending him
I somehow hear Seth Rogen voice as I'm reading this, with intensity and sarcasm
I think some would argue the asteroid is a myth. Hell so were the dinosaurs. According to these people, the world is only 2 thousand or so years old! All those sciency proof are propaganda.
also the world is flat... so your argument is invalid
Load More Replies...The job has to be done n if they didn't, surely someone else would. Everyone needs to supply for their family.
The christian fundamentalists are actually looking forward to them showing up.
For most of us, Armageddon is both dreaded and expected. Basically like the saying omg I want to die, there’s benefits, but also sizeable problems.

It is indeed the planets fault for not being careful where to float, just like an automobile not looking at the road and crashing into a motorcycle.
Besides, the rebels themselves blew up two Death Stars, one in the middle of construction, Linley filled with independent contractors, roofers, blacksmiths, plumbing and whoever build the laser part. They did this twice. Plus, looking at the child indoctrinating nature of the previous senate, the empire was actually better. I love democracy.
And if you know Legends, you'd know that poor Palpatine just wanted to save the Galaxy from an outer galactic threat by building up the Empire. The Republic was corrupt and the Jedi too, besides they were stealing kids from their parents, just because they had the force. /s. For everyone wanting a different view on the Jedi, I recommend the Republic Commando series of Karen Traviss. It's also great for all Mando and Fett clones fans. The stance on the Jedi above is a compressed version of Kal Skiratas view on them.
mario is also a nepotist, an animal abuser, an embezzler, and a murderer as well
......or peach and bowser are f***ing each other...........just a thought...........
Oh yea I heard a theory once where Mario actually just kept kidnapping the princess and bowser was the good guy
People can't be heroes unless there is a bad guy. Gotta have a bad guy to be a hero.
This is stuff we see on Newsmax/etc. So.... no longer comedy, merely reiterating "news".
He's got a point. I must have been one of the only Aussies who LIKED Vegemite 2.0
I don't know what that is (and am too lazy to look for it) but what do the iPhones have to do with it? :)
That’s the joke. This entire post is extremely sarcastic.
Load More Replies...Love the fact that the response doesn’t know what inquisition means
Fun fact, that is actually what small-i "inquisition" means: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inquisition
This is actually the argument you hear from Manson worshipers and apologists today. Problem is you're still guilty of murder if you have someone else do it for you
He died in prison because the victims were rich and famous. If the victims had been poor and black I doubt he'd even have been put in jail..
Load More Replies...He's (or was) actually considered a national hero in Romania if I'm not mistaken, for defending against the Ottoman Empire
Yes and that is why politics, anger/humor, history can create conflict. For his people, at his time, under those circumstances he used extreme measures to save his people. We can't judge the past, of different cultures, and circumstances by our; time, value, and resources. Maybe only to study for future improvement. The Western world did not give Vald much to work with. Desperate times, create desperate actions.
Load More Replies...Many Romanians still think of him as a hero to this day. He saved them from Islam
if i have a burger which is a good thing and a computer which is also a good thing and i put them together i get a broken computer covered in mustard and ketchup which is a bad thing.
bipartisan? then accept that it's humor, meant to induce rational thought through satire. the piece points out the absurdity of right-wing pundits 'logic'. wouldn't that be more equitable?
Load More Replies...also what's with that men hater "feminist" poisoning his family... terrible, where are the good values??
Sauron just wanted to be known under a good name, look at what happend to him......
and a shoutout to wicked. I want to shake this mans hand. He's hilarious.
There was no crime to report. Pontius (leader of the area) declared jesus innocent
i always thought that Judas wanted Jesus to have a chance to explain himself. the real responsible are those who felt treated by Jesus. The jewish in power who were at the top of the chain! like any people of power who are afraid of loosing it. same thing happen in any religion.
Phobia of clowns is among hte most common. Yeah, Gacy loved his job.... sadistic much?
I would defend this guy, but he also most likely killed baby yoda. No one kills baby yoda.
THANK GOODNESS for the 3rd season of the mandalorion
Load More Replies...loved his grandad, murdered his dad, attempted to murder his uncle (on his mother's side), murdered his teacher, almost murdered his mother, frequently destroyed his own and other's property, destroyed extremely valuable ancient artifact, aided in the destruction of an entire solar system and one extra planet, told a firing squad to murder an entire village, aided in or directly killed hundreds of people, based his entire outfit and personality off a mass murderer, and all of this was on camera, and almost none of those could be perceived as being in self defense, comment if I missed anything.
Ignoring facts like 35 murders isn't uncommon in conservative logic.
Jokes aside Genghis indeed fought and won a war because the other side attacked a peaceful trading caravan from him.
They killed one ambassador and shaved his other two. Nobody shaves Genghis's ambassadors.

Except Ferris was excused by his parents. That should be the end of the story there
Load More Replies...I hate to agree with anything Morrissey says because he's a c#$t but he did say he would assassinate Donald Trump.
I mean the man seems like he'd be difficult to get along with, but what has Morrissey done to make him evil? I feel like I'm missing something here.
Ok wow, he has gone off the rails in the last few years. From a low key left wing monarchy hater, to a far right paedophile excuser, if the papers are to be believed.
Load More Replies...Is Lenin in fact pictured as one of the evil ones? As far as I know, he just wanted to improve the life of everyone but the tsar's...
You can not be serious. Was he one of the evil ones you ask? The inventor of the Gulag? The person who unleashed what is now known as the "Red Terror" that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people? The dictator responsible for the Povolzhye famine, that killed around 5 MILLION? Which Lenin did you think we were referring to? Do you think the millions that died under his regime had their "lives improved"? Please brush up on history.
Load More Replies...I both love and hate how accurate this is, oh my gosh. I swear, 95% of the conservative arguments I see on social media look exactly like this, and generally rely on logical fallacies instead of hard evidence.
You know you're good when I *know* this is a joke but it's still pissing me off a bit haha
Right? Also (unrelated) I have a challenge to anyone who can accept. Defend VILE.
Load More Replies...Precisely my fear and reason I had to quit reading.
Load More Replies...He is spot on with the endless repetitions of "arguments" that conservatives use. "Show me the evidence." is one of their biggest favorites. But when you show them the evidence their inevitable reply is :" Yeah, fake news from lame stream media. Stay blind."
I once told such a person, "Why is it my job to prove you wrong? Prove yourself right." ... Haven't gotten a reply yet. That was, oh, 2015?...
Load More Replies...Did people not read the title? The whole point is getting seeing the absurdity of conservative logic. You don't need metal gymnastics to understand, just read the title, lol.
I had to quit. B/c it started to read more like my neighbor who spouts Newsmax/etc.
These are awesome! He should do the reverse where he uses Republican logic to make good people bad
This is hilarious, but per seeing some of the comments, I think one has to have a acute sense of sarcasm to actually get these.
