He’s such a self-aggrandizing, self-proclaimed “badass” and the jokes were always riffing off of that. It’s like the same way you’d make fun of Steven Seagal.

The whole point of the jokes is that nobody was taking this guy seriously but him. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago I remember watching that show thinking "why does the drunk dealer skater punk murderer know kung fu.?" permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 months ago apparently theres a new show by jared padalaciki, it isnt that good i heard. i only found out because he had a spat with jensen ackles a while back how his defunct winchester show. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 point 5 months ago Walker, Texas Ranger was the only thing I knew Chuck from when I was a kid.
