It's amazing how dog shit comedy was in the late 90's early aughts until Tim and Eric came along and paved the way for ironic humor. (hexbear.net)

Edgy dipshit "comedians" that wanted to violently murder Barney in the 90's then shitty dude bro family guy humor in the early aughts.

I remember first seeing Tom Goes To The Mayor on adultswim and it being like a breath of fresh air. It felt like finally someone got how absurd it is to live in small town america.

Well yeah that's what I mean, I always thought the movie was pointing a mirror at the American audience and saying "this is what you think foreign countries are like right?" Which tied in to him taking that character from that fictional country that is how Americans imagine other parts of the world to be and traveling as him to America where the average person fully accepted it

That said, in the context that he is a Zionist himself it does seem entirely possible that it wasn't as intentional as that

I read it that way when I saw it myself (admittedly I saw it pretty recently), but in context I think the most charitable interpretation is that Sacha is comparing American racists to what he imagined Muslims to be.
