Bobby describes Jimmy's act as "Consistently good… not awesome or amazing"

Isn't that kind of a devastating thing to say, or am I projecting my own insecurities? I get that it's intended as a compliment, but Jimmy's entire self-worth and sense of identity revolve around his stand-up. A good friend and a peer describing you as not amazing or awesome must sting.

Yea, it was meant as a joke you fucking autist.

Not denying the autism allegations, but I don't think so. He seems to be making a genuine point (with the Chris Rock comparison). Jimmy laughs because it's uncomfortable, but it didn't sound like ball busting to me.

Maybe it's ME who is autistic.

We are all autistic on this blessed day

I know Jimmy has said Bobby "murders" on stage, so it probably would have been nice to get that back from him. That said, and I know I'm just a civilian, but I hate when comics say another comic "murders" on stage. More back-table-at-the-Cellar-speak NY comics use. Rogan and Russell Peters once talked about how they all are trying to talk like Dave Attell.
