A Cry for Help: John Mulaney Baby J
When AI technology copies the voice of John Mulaney, he will be out of work for good, because I can’t imagine a single studio taking a chance on him after seeing his new comedy special, Baby J. Let’s me give a little backstory first before I get into it. Mulaney is a standup comedian who went to rehab in 2021. He is reportedly “clean” now and decided to do a Netflix Special explaining his time…

Just saw John Mulaney tonight and… man oh man is he literally still one of the funniest people on this planet. Im glad he’s doing better, joking about it, as well as encouraging others to get help.
I love that man.

What a great show. From Scratch is more personal than he's ever been (which is saying something, given how his openness before inspired such devotion and eventual distain — he knows Bo Burnham is now more likable than him!) but he still maintains his storytelling voice. I can see why so many comedy people I love are such good friends and collaborators with John and I'm grateful for what he brings them.

hey how many of the foxes do you think have mugshot photos
like andrew and aaron for sure.
probably renee with her gang history.
im feeling inclined to say that neil would have gotten one taken after the baltimore incident and the only reason he didn’t was because he was hospitalized directly afterwards and then offered witness protection.
i feel like allison probably like vandalized shit when she was younger to spite her parents but they never cared and paid it all off before she ever actually got arrested so no mugshot there.
kevin absolutely not.
i feel like dan has been involved in a tussle or two that may have ended in police intervention but she is also Fast so they never catch her.
matt i’d say maaayyybbeee but also like dan i think if the police ever showed up to arrest him he would be Fast and also Good At Hiding but it’d be like a 50/50 chance.
seth would be the same as matt i think tbh. like yanno that one john mulaney skit with that guy who threw a bottle on the floor and yelled “scatter!!” when the police showed up? that’s seth. idk if he’ll get away but he WILL cause a scene and that’s what we’re here for baby!!
anyways all this to say: do you think fans ever print out their mugshots and put them on posters to wave around at their games? do you think the foxes have printed out their mugshots and taped them up on the photo wall? discuss.

bits I remember from John Mulaney's tour act that didn't make it into the Netflix special:
- his Natasha Lyonne impression 😔 it was much funnier than the Fred Armisen one tbh
- something to the effect of 'before my intervention everyone agreed to be nice to me in their speeches. except they all forgot to tell Nick Kroll that. and he went FIRST'
- during the 'trust doctors' bit he got sidetracked and started making a flat earth joke, he was like 'I'm not saying I believe it, but like-' and someone in the audience yelled 'BOO' and he immediately shot back 'OH FUCK YOU YOU DO NOT WALK AROUND GOING WOOOOoooooOOOO I-I-ITS A-A-A S-SPH-PHERRRREEEE' while doing this truly incredible flailing of his limbs
- 'do you know how weird it is for your baby to get mixed reviews? do you know how goddamn weird it is to announce your baby and have people go 'ehh, I liked his old work better'
- he also joked that getting divorced, getting into a new relationship and having a baby so fast was just him following the "baby steps" rules of getting clean lol
- when he was listing everything he was addicted to one of the drugs got a 'woo!' from the audience which turned into crowd work of finding out what everyone in the theater was addicted to
- he asked a teenager in the audience if he vapes and the kid said no and then his friend sitting next to him screamed 'DON'T LIE TO HIM!!!' loud enough for the whole theater to hear
-oh also there was a lot more about going back and forth with his poor accountant lol. this is all I noticed off the top of my head! wondering what was different in other tour spots?

I think one really interesting juxtaposition is how John Mulaney repeatedly portrays himself in his public vs personal persona. In baby j he tells the intervention specialist to not believe his persona, that his friends say hes nice. In his earlier specials, he repeatedly refers to this - "sorry about last night, I’m mean and loud and it will happen again" plus his mom saying he performed even as a baby. It’s interesting that, as a performer, he’s performing, not just to his audience, who he’s always addressing, but his friends as well. It reminds me of what Jenny slate said about comedy a lot.

I want a comedy special that has every comedian at John Mulaney's intervention. I think it'd go unreasonably hard.

Nah I gotta say it. It’s so pitiful when I see people upset about John Mulaney having a kid now because once upon a time he said he didn’t want one–yeah and he also said something like “I don’t know never, people change” about it but nobody seems to remember that part?? And yet somehow people feel enabled to go under his instagram posts and call both him and the baby names. How much of a piece of shit do you have to be to vomit bile on a damn baby?? Where his parents and their friends and the rest of the online world can perfectly see it?? Like where is your dignity
And on the cheating thing–this too is pitiful. Mostly because it’s people crusading about two adults sorting their own problems out. The official timeline is that they separated before his intervention and she wasn’t even there, finalized the divorce and each went on with their lives. Unless you believe tabloids and reddit over the people themselves. Get over it. Find some grass.  “Oh but we’re upset because he based his whole persona on being the nice wife guy” lmao no what you’re upset about is that the persona is exactly that, a character built upon fragments of personal stuff that was glaringly obvious, but somehow people now remember only the wife bits and not the blacking out drunk bits or lying to doctors to get xanax and how he clearly referred to her as bossy and pushy (while still standing up for her when Seinfeld (?) mocked her confidence btw) and all the other things said very explicitly on stage in the same way he said the other bits. But I ain’t gonna sum up all the videos you can find on your own.
“bUt tHe dRugS” nope not even gonna start on that.
The only issue I have is the ch@apxelle thing. Like yes wtf was that. I remember posts where he said he was giving all profits of a show to an lgbt+ legal group (lambda legal I think). I remember him doing a joke with Nick Kroll in favor of trans kids when they hosted an awards show. That stint with c#app3ll3 confuses me. 
I like the new special btw. Yes it’s all about the drugs experience. No I don’t think he should’ve talked of his own relationship events, it was actually nicer of him to not grab the mic and turn events that intimately involve other people into jokes but rather stick to his own solo jokes. No I didn’t find it monotonous, it was still shorter than the theatrical stuff I usually watch. I like the “new vibe”, he feels more real now while still reminding people to keep their damn distance–he outright says so in various ways and it’s so satisfying. Also Michael and Minerva are definitely Mickey and Minnie of the Mouse no you can’t change my mind on this.

the thing with harry that i'm most confused? bewildered? unhappy? about is that i'm wondering where his people are? where's his support system?
there must be somebody in his corner trying to help and be supportive, and i'm well aware he's probably isolating himself and doesn't want to depend on others for help etc etc (so it must be incredibly hard on his wife and kids as well) but surely there's enough people left in his corner who'd intervene in some way? (not that i think staging a great intervention would help (like it apparently did with John Mulaney's relapse))
and his behaviour is pushing people away more and more, he's crossing so many lines without realising the harm that that causes not just the other person but himself as well?
what will give him that much needed wake-up call before he hits rock-bottom and has nothing and nobody left?
This is exactly my thought process - thank you for coming by. Who is supporting him? Who is guiding him? Doesn’t he, at the very least, have some kind of professional team advising him? Where the hell are they and what the hell are they doing? There’s no earthly way that anyone who cares about him is egging him on - isn’t anyone telling him that he needs to stop? That he’s hurting himself more than he’ll ever hurt the media or the tabloids or his family? That he’s going to drive himself to rock bottom if he continues to agonize and antagonize? He’s been down a rabbit hole of isolating himself for years. It honestly (from the outside) looks like he’s ousted every single human being he’s ever loved from his life and now he’s gone totally rogue without an ounce of support from anyone who has ever loved him. I’m afraid to even think of that rock bottom - if this isn’t it, then what is? And what happens if (or, God forbid, when) he gets there?

Scrapped review of "Baby J" on Netflix
Jon Mulaney, who aged ten years during the pandemic, appears in cheerful berry-colored suit and with the exhausted ('experienced') soul of a man nearing retirement.
With the easy tone of someone who finds humor in everything, Jon Mulaney's audience enters the close-knit world of comedien interventions, drug-stuffed winter parkas, and a retelling of the kind of drama
The humor edges between milleniel and boomer-commenting-on-a-little-league-game
Mulaney managed to retain his squeaky choir boy persona for years despite repeatedly, and in detail, describing substance abuse problems going back to hus school days.
Celebrity rehab story time with John Mulany, who's characaturization of New Yorkers has grown more subtle but no less impressive.
But don't let the heavy content get you down though!
You won't be laughing out loud, but you will be well entertained
