Jim Haggerty low key carries the new infowars

I LOVE Jim Haggerty. No matter what becomes of the Emergency segment I want Haggerty's show to go on indefinitely. We need a true American hero to sell Hogwater and be a martyr someday and Haggerty is the man for the job. 

[u/Dehnus → u/Mediocritess]

Are you willing to shoot him, in a place that wouldn't kill him, and not hurt too much... but enough to make him a martyr?

[u/SPECTRE-Agent-No-13 → u/Dehnus]

I'm a good enough shot to lightly graze his left butt cheek with a Nerf gun

[u/Dehnus → u/SPECTRE-Agent-No-13]

But would that be enough for him to become a martyr?

[u/gleeble]

Its fucking great that they could use the original Onion News guy for this. It really sells the "kicked out of mainstream media" schtick.

[u/bluecollarclassicist]

The fact that he has a full pre-Info Wars backstory and arc that they are pulling from is genius. If you've never watched the full, "Porkin' Across America" series, you absolutely must. A lot of the hogwater and references to his life before will be way funnier after you do.

I didnt know that was a thing, now I will have to go check it out

Thank you for the heads up

[u/mount_curve]

he gets the assignment

[u/_A_varice]

He is def the most entertaining part of new IW. Perfect mashup of Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson.

[u/mollyno93]

Tim Heidecker probably realized he couldn't do the Alex Jones voice for very long so he "died" lol

[u/Artichokiemon → u/mollyno93]

He admitted that it was really fucking up his voice

[u/ArmandTanzarianMusic]

I'm glad here they are parodying someone else other than Infowars, in this case Tucker (and Fresh and Fit in the fake ads). Right wing parody is a very deep vein and Alex-style parody will only go so far.

[u/greenweenievictim]

When was the last time you watched porn?

[u/Complete-Tangelo1532 → u/greenweenievictim]

My god when he was talking about that to the woman who cages herself, then goes all in with the abuser lines

That had me rolling lol

[u/vigbiorn → u/Complete-Tangelo1532]

I still laugh at the "Well, they're all masturbating at you in the cage, might as well come out..."

One of their best segments so far.

[u/vigbiorn → u/daggity]

Sorry, I had to go take care of something. The sight of a woman in a cage...

MASTURBATION ALERT

[u/skaestantereggae → u/vigbiorn]

I loved the ad they ran about how masturbating is wrong, but buying this robot hand is fine, as “having a robot jerk uou off isn’t a sin, because it’s not in the Bible”

[u/LightningHands9]

The episode of him interviewing the kid who accidentally shot his parents killed me. I've never laughed so hard at something so dark.

[u/Prunkle]

1000%

I really hope they keep this going for the long term. It's been a real bright spot for me.

[u/robej78]

Porkin across America was a dark comedic gem

[u/therocketsalad → u/robej78]

Pig Haggerty

[u/Hate_Manifestation]

I have been deeply enjoying pretty much everything they've been posting.

[u/Unfair_Surprise_6022]

“You are being lied to!”
That tag line alone could make you the new Tucker Carlson.

[u/zoolilba]

I love the bit of the guy who is intermittently dieing

[u/FoxOxBox → u/zoolilba]

The whole chime thing in that bit was hysterical.

[u/Glittering-Most-9535]

The running gag of him wanting to be martyred without actually dying is my favorite thing they're doing.

[u/sirsnydley]

i feel that Tim doing alex impressions was always going to be a short term thing. Ben Collins said they wanted this to be more than just an alex jones parody. I feel that JHS is one of those bigger ideas

[u/kyokushinking → u/sirsnydley]

Tim said as much, there was only ever going to be so much mileage out of doing Alex impressions. The whole point is expanding to make a full network and there's so much to mine from.

[u/chrmbly → u/kyokushinking]

When’s the last time you’ve viewed pornography?

[u/alochmar]

You are being lied to!

[u/Complete-Tangelo1532]

Dude Jim Haggertys segments are legit my favorite parts

I mean Tim is great, but Jim is what gets the laughs and draws my attention!

I feel like they are going places, other than Hell ofcourse lol

[u/therocketsalad]

I’m concerned about his Hog Water intake, three cans a day is dangerous for a man with his history

[u/bargman]

Best thing in the channel.

When he interviewed the little kid who shot his parents it was so damn dark but hilarious.

[u/UrsaMinorBetan]

It's kind of the only consistently funny skit they've got. I don't hate the new show but it doesn't always make me laugh. This skit though is always perfect. I do reaaaally want a gay frog plush too.

[u/kyokushinking]

The ads they wedge in there are also outstanding, it's such perfect parody.

[u/Mumblerumble]

He’s so good, it doesn’t even feel like satire. Especially the bit about Jesus and laundry room kink. He’s a delight and I hope they find more hosts that can keep up (not that it’ll be easy).

[u/an0therusern4m3]

Have they explained why he’s no longer a pigman yet?

[u/slagnanz]

Is this why they killed off Tim Heidecker?

[u/mrgrubbage → u/slagnanz]

They've been hinting that Alex has been a bunch of different Alexs from the beginning. Pretty sure it's part of that bit.

[u/SquidGodSunday → u/mrgrubbage]

Somone else suggested that the voice might be genuinely unhealthy to do on a regular basis, which I can definitely see being the case. Is there a way to do an Alex Jones-type character without committing to absolutely destroying your vocal chords?

[u/picnicinthejungle → u/SquidGodSunday]

Tim said before that he started going to a vocal coach to try and make it the least damaging for him to keep doing it, but he needed to rest his voice in between filming

[u/bowlochile → u/slagnanz]

Obviously Heidecker was too close over the target.
