He’s an absolute piece of shit and everything he does is horrible but I find it hard to hate him.
I think the show does an {excellent} job of making him look pathetic and pitiable, maybe there’s something to that overruling the digust I inevitably feel from everything he does or says. He’s definitely someone I never tire of joking about or referrring to as a short hand for senility and capitalism embodied, i dunno, I feel more sad for him. Like its lonely at the top and its worse if thats all you have.
Maybe sometimes I feel not so different from him (of course without all the money and the psychopathy lol)
Weirdly there’s a child-like innocence about him and Smithers being infatuated with him also helps to humanize him further.
Its weird with Smithers because heis his assistant and fixer but he seems so parentified in my mind. Like Mr. Burns liteeally depends on and clings to him emotionally like a helpless child
Just like Cohen and Trump.
/s (kinda)
God Cohen made a great pivot, actually enjoy his take on things now and again
