His 2009 album The Top Part recounted his belated realization that he had accidentally scared a woman in the subway by giving her the distinct impression he was chasing her. (It seems a lot less funny now.) He's poked fun at his own past as a problem drinker, he's mocked his own speaking voice, his looks, and his awkwardness with strangers. In fact, in his 2012 special New in Town, he talks about a disastrous effort he made to trick a doctor into giving him a Xanax prescription.

Mulaney has always recounted his own foolish behavior as part of his comedy. As he puts it in the one incisive moment of reflection he offers on this point, 'Likability is a jail.' Whew. And the special suggests that if his personal choices disrupt the prior image people had of him, that's probably OK.

Leaving the details of your disasters out of your comedy when they involve other people seems like a reasonable decision to me. Probably wisely, he doesn't talk about his divorce, or his new relationship with actor Olivia Munn with whom he now has a son, or about landing in gossip columns as he never had before May 2021.
