He also coined “the friend zone” in the same special. Honestly though I don’t think it’s fair to fault him for that. Chuds steal things and recontextualize them in a way that removes irony, humour and nuance. It’s their whole thing. The solution to that isn’t to just make art that has no irony, humour or nuance. That’s just letting idiots bully us out of making anything that doesn’t talk down to its audience.

I thought the term friend zone came from that episode of Scrubs.
I just double checked. Scrubs started in 2001. Chris Rock’s Bigger and Blacker special came out in 1999.
