He doesn\u2019t dip a toe in Beltway battles or abortion debates, focusing solely on the minutiae of modern life.<\/p>\n<p>Even his signature \u201cCast,\u201d \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/867-pete-and-sebastian-show-30516771\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pete and Sebastian Show<\/a>,\u201d avoids culture war subjects and the latest headlines.<\/p>\n<p>His new Netflix comedy special, \u201cIs It Me?\u201d reveals a new, angrier Maniscalco.<\/p>\n<p>The hour-long special finds the comic riffing on the usual subjects, from marriage to social niceties. He also weaves personal stories into the mix, including his days visiting his children\u2019s pre-schools.<\/p>\n<p>Maniscalco, dressed in a Sinatra-approved tux, riffs on education in the modern era. He\u2019s aghast at fellow dads eager to set up play dates for the grown-ups, but he\u2019s equally alarmed to see what goes on behind closed doors.<\/p>\n<p>One of his daughter\u2019s classmates caught his attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s got a kid in her class that identifies as a lion. He comes to the school with a tail, ears and fur,\u201d he says. [The child] goes by Rory. I\u2019m not making this up, I\u2019m just reporting the news.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not every parent seemed troubled by the development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI live in Los Angeles, so you gotta be careful who you\u2019re talking to,\u201d he said, recalling what happened when he mentioned Rory to a fellow dad. \u201c\u2018I know? Isn\u2019t that fabulous?\u2019 And I just floated away from that guy. I\u2019m not gonna be talking to that guy for the rest of the semester.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/sebastian-maniscalco-trump-biden-apolitical\/\"><strong>RELATED: WHY SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO WON\u2019T MOCK TRUMP\u2026 OR BIDEN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How did the culture get to this point? Maniscalco blames\u00a0the parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe kid probably came down one day, dressed as a lion. \u2018I\u2019m a lion, Mommy!\u2019 And the idiotic parents said, \u2018oh, he\u2019s a lion now. C\u2019mon, let\u2019s go to school, Lion!&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That wouldn\u2019t fly in this comic\u2019s household.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf my kid comes down and he\u2019s dressed as a panda bear I\u2019d say, \u2018get the f*** back upstairs and put some jeans on \u2026 I\u2019m not taking a panda bear to school\u2026 done. We don\u2019t see that outfit ever again. Daddy said no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The comedian put on a highly sensitive voice to describe his naysayers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou got some people in here looking over here and saying, \u2018what does it matter to you? Why does it affect you?\u2019 It\u2019s affecting my daughter. She ain\u2019t learning nothin\u2019 because this lion is disruptive \u2026 he\u2019s in the back of the class knocking over books and desks \u2026 the teachers\u2019s gotta stop what she\u2019s doing. And nowadays you can\u2019t say nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019d be the target of ridicule for not being sensitive to the lion\u2019s feelings, he warned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t go up to the teacher and say, \u2018what\u2019s the f*** with this lion in the class?&#8217;\u201d he said. \u201cMy kid don\u2019t know the alphabet because Rory\u2019s in the back looking for zebras\u2026 can you believe we\u2019re even talking bout this s***?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bit suggests a larger question. Did Maniscalco use a real-life absurdity to make the crowd laugh? Or was he critiquing how some schools are encouraging children to adopt different genders at a very early age?<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s betting Maniscalco won\u2019t shed any new light on the material.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/sebastian-maniscalco-cancel-culture-pepe-le-pew\/\"><strong>RELATED: MANISCALCO HAS PERFECT QUESTION FOR WOKE SCOLDS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The comedian also excoriated the crowd and the culture at large for abiding by the new, restrictive woke bylaws.\u00a0He described going to his 3-year-old son\u2019s preschool and meeting fellow fathers, including one Asian dad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook how quiet it got with \u2018Asian father,&#8217;\u201d he noted. \u201cEveryone in the room, their ass tightened up. \u2018Hey, where are you going with this?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what happened with the country in the last six or seven years. You can\u2019t even mention someone\u2019s background in describing them. It\u2019s not meant as derogatory. Growing up, this is how you knew who you were talking about in the neighborhood. What guy? The Puerto Rican guy? Oh, OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just mentioning a fellow father\u2019s race, Maniscalco noted from the crowd, created an uneasy reaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou got people looking up going, \u2018What does it matter?&#8217;\u201d the comic said in an affected voice. \u201cIt matters. At the end of the story, you\u2019re gonna find out why I said, \u2018Asian guy.\u2019\u00a0Loosen up your hole. It\u2019s ok.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The crowd offered some cheers and whistles in support.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Maniscalco noted the Asian father pointed his Asian son out to him, what he dubbed an unnecessary gesture since the boy was the only Asian child in the class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou got people in the room looking up, going, \u2018You are so close-minded,&#8217;\u201d he said. \u201cHow dare you? How dare you assume. Don\u2019t you think the Asian father adopted the black child, and the black father adopted the Asian child?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, if I\u2019m putting money on who this Asian kid is going home with, it\u2019s [the Asian dad].\u00a0Put $100 on the table. I wanna see how PC you get.\u00a0Where I come from, these two came in the same car,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He even blasted the new real estate-speak where \u201cwalk-in closets\u201d are problematic because not every home dweller is able to stroll in and out.<\/p>\n<p>Woke sensitivities are clearly top of mind for Maniscalco lately, even though his act remains among the cleanest and least offensive around.<\/p>\n<p>Last week on \u201cThe Pete and Sebastian Show,\u201d Maniscalco shared a story of performing at screen legend Martin Scorsese\u2019s 80th birthday party.<\/p>\n<p>The director\u2019s table featured Steven Spielberg, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/jennifer-lawrence-female-action-movies\/\">Jennifer Lawrence<\/a>, Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo Di Caprio, Benecio Del Toro and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/war-with-grandpa-review\/\">Robert De Niro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hollywood Royalty 101.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m nervous going into this, not so much because of that table,\u201d he said. \u201cSome of these corporate events are a little tight \u2026 the stigma of corporate is a little stuffy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This was worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is Hollywood, movie people \u2026 the equivalent of performing at an awards show. It leans heavy to one side of the aisle, politics-wise,\u201d he said. \u201cI got some stuff that I\u2019m doing that might not be [pause] it\u2019s a little unwoke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m concerned about A., the environment, B. do they even know I\u2019m a comedian and C. the material and the content I\u2019ve chosen,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His opening bit, about how men and women dress for fancy events, drew crickets. He segued into relationship material, which also drew little to no response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout six or seven minutes in I start making fun of them,\u201d he said. \u201cI know some of you don\u2019t like what I\u2019m saying up here, but loosen up your holes, it\u2019s OK.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sebastian Maniscalco has had enough.
