I think a lot of it was just that his humor was very much of its own time. That sort of early 2010s style of comedy hasn't aged too well.

Haven't seen his new stuff, though. Honestly didn't even know he was still in the comedy scene at all, might have to give it a watch!

He pioneered the way standups get theirselves out there today. In the days of MySpace. Everyone thought he was out of his mind while he was doing it too.
