Martin Short<\/strong>‘s fans are coming to his defense on social media after he was skewered as a “desperately unfunny” comedian in a recent op-ed.<\/p>\n All the drama started Friday when Dan Kois<\/strong> published an opinion piece for Slate, calling into question Short’s talents as a funnyman to the point of what many might interpret as being rude.<\/p>\n Kois wrote, “He (Short) would do anything, anything,<\/em> for a laugh” … “I find Martin Short’s whole schtick exhausting, sweaty and desperately unfunny.”<\/p>\n Continuing his takedown, Kois said … “Every time he dresses up in a silly outfit or says something outrageous or mugs for the audience, I want to shout at the screen: ‘Why are you being like this?'”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kois also attacked Short’s hugely popular TV show, “Only Murders In The Building,” co-starring Selena Gomez<\/strong> and Steve Martin<\/strong>. Even though the series received Emmy nominations, Kois still thinks Short’s character is not funny.<\/p>\n And the criticism went on and on and on.<\/p>\n But a lot of people disagreed with Kois and took to social media to show their support for Short, while posting clips of his best moments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One fan wrote on X, “There’s literally nothing that’s not funny about martin short i dont understand this.”<\/p>\n Another devotee said, “Martin Short has been hysterical since I was born lol.”<\/p>\n A third person called Short a great human being who lost his wife of 30 years to ovarian cancer in 2010, yet still considers himself married, holding conversations with her spirit.<\/p>\n
