Comedian Doug Benson has basically made a career as a professional stoner, as the creator and host of the popular weekly podcast Getting Doug With High—during which he and celebrity guests get high and talk about everything, including politics, trivia, and pop culture. But even Doug—who’s the writer and star of Super High Me and known for being laidback—is outraged by SeaWorld.
Here are 9 times the comedian spoke out against the abusement park on Twitter:
1. The time he said it in seven words.
BLACKFISH – I'm never going to SeaWorld again. #EightWordsOrLess #DougLovesMovies #TraverseCityFilmFestival

2. The time he suggested that SeaWorld make improvements.
Hey, @SeaWorld, now would be a great time to just become aquatic themed parks with lots of rides and no prisons! https://t.co/eA98h6MjBJ

3. The time he was inspired by his own tweet.
Wait, @SeaWorld IS a whale farm. Shut it down. Fav this tweet if you think @SeaWorld is cruel. RT if you think they are a bunch of dicks.

4. The time he was a role model to young people.
Teenagers that work at @SeaWorld can get jobs at another amusement park. Whale trainers can suck it. https://t.co/7sFLUueoA5

5. The time he didn’t even tweet about SeaWorld but included his hate for it anyway.
#101 MAD MAX: FURY ROAD – He's more disgruntled than mad, in my opinion. #EightWordsOrLess #DLMChallenge #365Movies #ShutDownSeaWorld

6. The (other) time he made pointed movie references.
@stevebrown47 You see BLACKFISH? Trainers get killed and injured ALL the time

7. The time he celebrated Steve-O’s anti-SeaWorld antics.
Steve-O climbed a crane in Hollywood to protest Sea World? Good for him! #ShutDownSeaWorld
— Doug Benson Will Be In PDX on Saturday (@DougBenson) August 10, 2015
8. The time he directly asked SeaWorld what’s going on.
Hey #SeaWorld, why does it take until 2019 to "phase out" your orca shows? Why not just stop, like today or next week? #ShutDownSeaWorld

9. The time he was looking for attractions in Orlando—but NOT SeaWorld.
Hey friends in Orlando, are there any new attractions at any of the parks that I should check out while I'm here? NO SEA WORLD #Blackfish

We have to say that we like Doug—and whatever he’s smoking! Do you feel the same way he does about SeaWorld?
