This.

I find them both really annoying in their public personas, especially him. But there's no indication this recent issue has had any negative impact on their marriage. It was just a screw up because Bell made the joke at the worst possible time (during DV awareness) right before she was supposed to promote the second season of her rom com. So she's been MIA during promotion because obviously they decided it would be better for her to lay low.

The thing about these two (and one of the reasons I find them so annoying) is that they seem to really embrace their deep personality flaws as part of their relationship. My brother and his second wife are like this. It's like "omg we're both such selfish, narcissistic screw ups -- we're perfect for each other!" And in a way they are, but it also makes them insufferable to be around.

Well said.

I feel like they have always had a weird dynamic and have often posted strange things about each other.

They are both odd.

This. I would totally say this to my husband, but would never post it on social. That was her mistake.

It wasn't just a random mistake, they are very attention seeking on social media. Obviously it's helped their careers and especially his podcast stuff to make him seem more famous but it also rubs some people the wrong way.

They think they're so cool and edgy when really they're just self-centered and deeply annoying.

I don't mind either of them, but that post was gross and sharing it was also gross. Plus, I think it's pushing everyone's buttons that she is so small that it appeared as if Dax was hugging one of their kids.

I don't like him and the fact that she remains with him makes me like her less (I loved her in Veronica Mars!!). I appreciate that they talk a lot about how hard they work on their marriage, but I also feel like if they have to work THIS hard, then maybe it's not a good marriage or one worth saving.

Agree, though it’s worse than that. It’s more like "omg we're both such selfish, narcissistic screw ups -- we are AWESOME! Too bad you’ll never be as cool as us.”

The word “smug” comes to mind.

They're so weird and try hard. Like Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Just, like, calm down.

I found the "heavily incentivized" really weird and gross too. She's the golden goose in their marriage.

My feelings exactly. He bothers me and their antics together are cringe worthy.

This. My husband jokes about him dying and me collecting his life insurance policy. It's funny to us but I don't think it would be taken the same way if one or the other of posted it on social media.

I can’t imagine having to f@$k Dax Shepard. Gross.

He was an addict—do I imagine there is a ton of dysfunction there.

Didn’t Kristen Bell do a hardcore triple xxx scene for one of the movies she was in?

+1. Both seem angry, mean, and very obvious closeted and/or repressed homosexuals who did "anything" for fame and fortune.

They can't. These people are literally addicted to attention. It's a mental sickness.
