Target

Every mention, in time. Each mark is a day — taller means more that day — and links to the moment.

Tim’s take

His most sustained bit about Target is the sarcastic "uncle target" riff during the George Floyd unrest, mocking people who show more reverence for a corporation's property than for police violence against people 0:00. He escalates that into jokes about torching Target locations and slapping people with McGriddles, framing concern for looted stores as absurd next to concern for actual victims 6:39.

Elsewhere Target is mostly shorthand for cheap, unglamorous consumerism — the store where you buy Christmas candles 27:43, where Meghan Markle supposedly wants to sell jam and plates to "white pigs" 57:07 53:55, or where he now buys his own clothes instead of DXL 1:03:55. He's also named it as one of the mega-corporations limiting wage growth in his broader "you'll own nothing" complaint 28:27, and when it pulled Pride merchandise he called that a capitulation to backlash while arguing the backlash itself was earned by gender ideology aimed at kids 1:05:00.
