I just look at all of that as "growing up" and evolving as a person. But that's just my view of it, like I said I understand your position.

The reason I don't see it as phony is because his general temperament has remained the same throughout all of those comedic iterations. So I don't necessarily see it as "phony" coming from him, or like .. that he's a sellout or anything like that. I just see it as someone who *was* a hipster who then suddenly became super famous almost overnight and therefore had different stories to tell so he *was* a starfucker. And simultaneously he started getting laid more frequently so he had more perspective to use for his relationship stuff, so he *was* the suave relationship guy. And so on and so forth. It comes off as honest to me, and furthermore I prefer he evolve his comedic chops rather than rehash the same jokes and/or the same TYPES of jokes for years.
