Nah, Danny is spot on: A good cup of coffee at the right time can be pretty luxurious.
Considering the amount of labor goes into growing beans, curing them, and sending them all over the world:
I don’t know what the fuck else could be the definition of a luxury, but that’s a fucking luxury to have the result of a plant that mostly grows in the tropics readily available to be purchased and used at supermarkets worldwide.
Like, when East India Tea company ruled the waves, did people not think tea was a luxury? Because same deal, the amount of labor involved was gargantuan. It was absolutely the definition of a luxury.
Just because capitalism has made it “cheap” means nothing.
Just wait until climate change kills the vast majority of coffee crops. That’ll probably remind people that it’s a luxury.
That’s gonna remind people a whole lot of shit is a luxury.
like breathing fresh air, and a remarkable lack of knives in your ribcage.
Like tap water and plumbing.
As bad as that interview was, Danny had the perfect quip ready to go.
I’d imagine Danny pretty often has the perfect quip ready to go
Who did he play on DuckTales?
Huey
I thought all three were voiced by Ben Schwartz.
That was actually Danny Pudi doing a Ben Schwartz impression, that’s why it sounds like that.
You didn’t notice Louie was Bobby Moynihan? His voice is pretty distinctive to me.
It was actually a sarcastic joke, I’m well aware. Sort of a meta-joke about how in the original run they all had the same voice.
And because I so often wish I had more Ben Schwartz in my life.
Danny Pudi also said “socks” and Larry King was not having it. Makes me think Danny would be cool to meet and Larry not at all.
In fairness, “socks” is a pretty lame attempt at a joke answer.
The interview they’re talking about
Edit: the smile he makes after saying socks it’s top notch
Yeah, a fresh pair of socks is pretty great. I’ve never met this dude but he seems like he’d be alright.
I’m wearing brand new socks right now. Feels great.
They don’t even have to be new, a good pair of socks fresh out of the drier is the best IMO. I avoid wearing new socks unwashed because there can be all sorts of nasty shit on them from the factory, shipping, warehouse, etc. that I’d rather not have rubbing against my skin.
They’re not made to eat, so who the hell knows what kind of chemicals they douse clothing in to keep them “fresh” and keep bugs out of them while they travel across the ocean in shipping containers. Agreed, wash the fuck out of them, first thing!

That makes me laugh every time. The meme really doesn’t do his delivery justice.
Is Larry King really that out of touch or is this a bit?
Larry King is no longer alive but I think he had an old school reporting style that he stuck with.
The delivery was incredible.
“Larry, I’m on Ducktales”
It might not necessarily be a bit but he was definitely setting Danny up with some softballs giving him room to do his thing; Larry King was a great interviewer.
He doesn’t come off that way in this interview. He seems like a rich old fuck who’s been so rich for so long that he genuinely struggles to understand how the poor plebs could possibly exist without private jets.
Oh he was for sure out of touch, he got hugely successful in the 70s and interviewed actual rich and powerful people, real world leaders and superstars. Over his career he interviewed over 50k people, everyone from Nelson Mandela to Eric Andre. Like the other commenter said, it was kind of his shtick to not prepare or learn too much about the guest so he’d “genuinely be curious” about them.
I’m not saying the dude was a saint, he was a womanizer and was married like 7 times, but he wasn’t born into money or anything. He was a little kid from Brooklyn whose dad died when he was 9 and it messed him up, he grew up poor as fuck until he lucked into radio in the 50s. He did end up seeing a lot of success, idk if he ever got private jet rich but I’m sure he traveled 1st class more than once.
Eat the rich and everything but also save your ire for someone that deserves it, an old dead interviewer seems pointless.
That description landed me on “Boomer Pete Davidson” which isn’t that far off.
I met Danny at my local coffee shop. I am a total ass and said “Abed?”. He said " Danny. " and shook my hand. Thus confirming my status as Total Ass, and his as a mensch.
To be fair, Abed would say “Abed” if he met the actor that played himself…
You cannot meet Larry anymore though, not in this life.
Not with that attitude.
All you need is the right attitude… and a shovel.
I’d rather not meet Larry right now. I imagine it would be yucky and frightening and then eventually boring with a side of PTSD.
This clip lives rent free in my head and occasionally pops up from time to time. Love how Danny pointed out he’s not a megastar and nice socks are a luxury to him.
The socks he’s talking about are expensive too. Like $20 a pair.
I’m buying 6 pairs for, maybe, $20, so yeah, wool socks are a luxury item.
Imagine the privilege and lack of historical awareness to not believe coffee is a luxury

Does anyone know if there’s a community (the tv show) community on lemmy / the fediverse?
I haven’t seen one yet, but you could always make it somewhere.
If it’s a luxury, isn’t it almost by definition “something you can live without?”
