Three-time New York Times bestseller Adam Carolla is back to take on social media, social justice warriors, and a society gone to s**t. In I'm Your Emotional Support Animal, Adam Carolla examines how our culture went careening off a cliff. We used to have one that created real warriors who fought world wars. Now it spawns social justice warriors who fight Twitter wars. He takes on those who are traumatized by Trump and "emotional support animal" owners who proclaim their victimhood at every airport. He stands up for the collateral damage of the #MeToo movement and for freedom of speech on "safe space" filled college campuses. Examining the calculated commercials churned out by Madison Avenue, like the ones about cars "made with love," Carolla rants on ads designed to either bum us out or make us think the corporation is run by Mr. Rogers. Turning to social media, Adam takes down the "hashtag heroes" who signal their virtue daily from atop Twitter mountain. And in the era of the Roomba, performances by dead celebrity holograms, and meals-on-demand delivery services, he looks down the road at our not-so-bright future as a species.

Again, these are rants about the “wussification” of America, talking about emotional support animals, helicopter parents. They’re just cute versions of what real pundits are trying to tell you (stuff that usually has titles like “The War on Our Values”, “The Fight from the Right”, “How Our Reason and Morals are Declining”, etc.) but it’s not satire. The theme is that people are too sensitive and not tough enough. It’s essentially “old man yells at cloud”. I mean he’s not necessarily wrong about these things, but none of it takes a single moment to experience empathy, only selfishness.
This is the same guy who said “women aren’t funny” and apparently never heard of Molly Shannon, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, Ali Wong, Jenny Slate, Chelsea Peretti, Vanessa Bayer, Fortune Feimster, Taylor Tomlinson, Jennifer Coolidge, Amy Pohler, Ellie Kemper, Jane Krakowski, Carol Kane, Aubrey Plaza, Kate McKinnon, Jenny Slate, Cristela Alonzo, Tina Friml, Fran Drescher, Melissa Villaseñor and that’s just my personal favorites.
But that’s fine, if Adam Carolla just wants to shout into the wind. But he should be careful about the company he keeps lest he end up on the wrong side of history. ( )
