All celebrities are some flavor of disgusting. Zionist, racist, Epsteinite, you name it. That’s the only reason they’re allowed to become the public facing gods of the civic religion of capital in the first place.
I seem to remember some weird drama where he was mad at his girlfriend, who was a surfer and a model, for wearing revealing clothes in public. He has a pretty respectable movie career but acts like such a weird, insecure loser.
you can remove the excess weight but you can’t remove the feelings behind the excess weight.
Doesn’t help when his career was pretty much built on him being the butt of the joke for being the fat, weird looking guy. It doesn’t excuse misogyny or violence, but you understand why someone who was treated like that when they were a teen and young adult has a giant chip on their shoulder.

Damn I forgot about that, yeah read those texts and you can see his character and its ugly
He sounds deeply insecure
Yeah, he’s been trying to escape the reputation he started with, and because he has both body image issues and works in an industry that’s particularly geared towards unhealthy, difficult to maintain beauty standards, he’s having a really hard time adjusting to the body he now has. Non-celebrities go through this too, but he also has way more people watching him struggle with it, and that initial reputation is still probably constantly on his mind. There’s an asshole hiding in there too, but his insecurity seems well-founded.
He has always been a chud. Theres a reason he ain’t in shit anymore. Remember when dude had that surfer babe girlfriend and he got pissed when she surfed with one of her surfing buddies who was a dude? Fuck Jonah Hill, take this tire iron to your teeth and shut up about jiu jitsu.
My wife is often like ‘You’re not going to become a professional fighter, you know that right?’
Hey Jonah my ex wife Deborah (who got the kids!) said the same thing when I turned our garage into a dojo. Well guess who just managed to kick the ass that neighbor kid who keeps doing skateboard tricks on his driveway Deborah!
R U AN BARB STIL COMING FOUR BINGO?
LET ME TALK 2 BARB NOT A MASHINE
Everyone likes McLovin better
This sounds like a character Jonah Hill would play for sure.
blue belt ass mentality
blue belts deserve everything that blue uniforms do (on the mat of course).
I dont see him as the fat guy from super bad, I see him as the fat guy from 21 jumpstreet.
A lot of these kinds of people think they’re really hard until the guy at the pub hits them over the head with a brick.
He has been writing and directing, but not so successfully it seems. His latest project was supposed to release last month but has been shelved as “unreleaseable”. Definitely seems like he has fallen off in the business. Possibly this is related to some behavioral problems and lack of likeability.
I liked the fat guy from superbad…
Green belts when they let beating white belts get to their head
I always use the term “I like my odds”
And the square you have to circle is if he has consistently trained since whenever that picture of him in a white belt came out (at least 4 years ago) he probably could fuck all three of them up. That’s even if he’s doing the celebrity thing of only doing privates where a bunch of fancy reputation professors (black belts) teach him techniques without ever having to test it against the general public. Some celebrities do that sort of thing because a lot of people’s paychecks revolve around them not showing up on set visibly beaten or injured.
Because of that and the context of being on stage, getting positive reactions from his costars, and being in front of an audience, that’s probably showbiz talking through him. I’m not saying the person underneath isn’t a chud and the kernel of truth isn’t there, but it smells of banter to me. I can just imagine how if I wanted to tell stories about how my wife reacted to my aching joints there’s not a soul in that venue who will care, but if I rattle a saber a little bit suddenly every forum on the planet is talking about me and my favorite sport. If I got that much attention you better believe I’m not media trained enough to handle anything; I’m immediately trying to take sponsorships and HaileyWelchmaxx
I always use the term “I like my odds”.
I do too. Yet somehow I never use it in my jokes. But that changes now. 'N I like my odds. What is my interlocutor gonna do when I throw him to the ground in a double leg takedown…

Eh I dunno aren’t most martial arts made up bullshit that only works in the limited constraints of the sport? One well placed kick to the nuts and he’s gone.

Most martial arts, maybe, but Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is not included in the list of made up bullshit because it’s one of the few where you regularly spar with fully resisting opponents. There are legitimate criticisms of BJJ and it has limitations like every other martial art, but it’s very far from being bullshit.
Edit: also, most legitimate, traditional martial arts are not bullshit either. They tend to be somewhat less effective than the ones where you train with fully resisting opponents, but there are still fighting skills that can be learned from them.
I have a big ol’ soapbox about dirty fighting not being as good as you would hope. To make a long story short, if you were going to win the fight, you don’t need them. If you weren’t, then you’ve just made the person on top of you unhappy and they have a wider set of options than you.
Think it just depends on what you consider “dirty fighting”. Imo there is no such thing as dirty fighting if you are being assaulted. If biting someone’s nose off is going to help stop someone from getting brain damage then it’s all fair game.
I’ve only been in like two serious scraps in my life and neither of those people thought it was fair that I picked them up and bounced them off the pavement. Imo if you didn’t want that then you shouldn’t start a fight with someone big enough to throw you.
My thesis is that seldom would biting someone’s nose help you from getting brain damage and more often it’s going to be the origin of their motivation to give you brain damage. The nut shot is what’s going to escalate the level of violence of a losing fight from a bloody nose and a headache to lost teeth and a skull fracture.
I’m not saying that it’s unfair, I’m asserting that it’s ineffective. Rude attacks are much more effective from the top position. If someone is straddling you in mount and you grab for their groin, they might grab your fingers and break them for the trouble and then do your eyes like the Mountain from Game of Thrones. Their nuts kind of ache, but you come out of the altercation with mangled fingers and scratched corneas.

Bas Ruten, UFC Heavyweight Champion, UFC hall of famer, and three-time King of Pancrase world champion, has the story I’m looking for @ 3 minutes of this video and goes on to explain the point much more emphatically than I can. (CW: It’s Joe Rogan)

The vast majority of people getting brain damage from random assaults are acquired without intent. It’s from a random blow to the back of the head or when you hit the pavement.

We’re not talking about a mma fight… I’ve never seen an actual street fight where someone tried to actually mount someone. I have seen people ineffectually attempt to choke someone face to face, in that scenario biting someone’s nose is going to get them to let go. If you are a smaller person being assaulted by some random person, the goal is simply to create a situation or enough space for you to run away.
Is dirty fighting going to help you on a one vs one when both people have training? Prob not, but that is a tiny minority of actual fights in real life situations. Which is why bjj is not for the streets in the first place. Trying to take someone to the ground is the last thing you really want to do in something like a bar fight, because one of their buddies is just going to fight dirty and smash you in the back of the head with a bar stool.
I think this is the problem with people being obsessed with mma, it creates a idea that fights are mostly one vs one combat. As someone who’s worked in orthopedics for nearly two decades in a large city… That’s not usually how people end up in a hospital.
Most fights happen when people are drinking, and most of those end when the first person throws a sucker punch. If they go on much longer than that then more people tend to get involved and someone usually ends up taking a group beating.
I’m not sure I’d draw the same conclusion from the evidence. More people fighting randos are going to be untrained than trained. Sure. Absolutely. Only a fraction of a fraction are going to do enough martial arts to make an appreciable difference. There are more variables at play (friends, weapons, and environment). Absolutely! Therefore more people are going to go to the hospital because of the random chaos of untrained people running into a chaotic environment than people who end up in the hospital because of some secret, midnight, parking garage kumite. 10.000%.
But even in your example, someone throwing a sucker punch is arguably a rude technique. That escalation of violence (or perhaps the origin thereof) is answered by escalated violence by way of a group beating. If they didn’t do the rude technique they don’t get the group beating. In that sense, I think all of these things can be true about random fights while still maintaining that rude techniques make people (and their friends) more willing to escalate violence.
I’m not necessarily talking about an MMA fight either. What I am saying is that the same adrenaline/drugs that makes breaking someone’s arm in an armbar ineffective while a choke will necessarily stop them is the same difference that makes biting the nose a gamble instead of a high percentage solution. Because if they don’t recoil back in agony, then you’ve given that violent person with outstretched, dirty hands access to your eyes and a reason to reach towards your face. They’re going to have that reflex without training it a day in their lives. You could say “well, what about headbutts?” and you probably could, but at that point, for the same amount of effort, you could do clinch defense work and specialize in making distance so you can get away, perhaps throwing a couple elbows for the trouble.
I believe there’s a survivorship bias in just taking into account people who wind up in the hospital. You would never hear a story about someone who didn’t escalate and therefore didn’t need to go to the hospital. That story could look like a guy who throws wild punches for 65-80 seconds, gets their shirt ripped, gets tired, yells something mean, and buzzes off.
(also I didn’t recommend BJJ for self defense. Saying sorry no matter who’s at fault, running, and being around friends are 1000x more effective)

You’d be surprised, a sucker punch often ends the fight as the two people who originated the conflict have found a resolution and now one side has to take care of an unconscious person. Fights generally get out of hand when the fight goes on long enough to get the attention of the group who then see a friend who actively needs a hand.

The vast majority of untrained people who experience adrenaline do not fight, they typically flee, or freeze.

They really won’t… People generally do not think or react rationally under stress or pain. They’re just going to try and push you away.

And they would react to this differently than a “dirty fight”? People react to pain, not the level of justification of that pain.

You do all the time… Mostly they are bystanders who get clobbered for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
That story could look like a guy who throws wild punches for 65-80 seconds, gets their shirt ripped, gets tired, yells something mean, and buzzes off.
Those guys get the shit kicked out of them or stabbed all the time… People willing to do violence to a level that endangers someone’s life do not need a rational justification to do so. I have had patients who literally got shot for saying “what are you going to do, shoot me?”.

I was (and am) far too lazy to find the video but I wondered if that was it.
