![Comedian Tim Dillon Hilariously Calls Out Real Estate Agents For Immediately Trying To Sell Homes That “Survived The Fire” In Pacific Palisades: “Should Be Put In Jail”]()

Tim Dillon continues to be one of the funniest people on planet Earth. His commentary on the chaos of everyday life is second to none, especially when all you can do is laugh at the absurd situations the people of America continue to find themselves in.
And look, let's just start with this... what is happening in California is an absolute tragedy. My heart breaks for these people who have lost everything... homes, businesses, and some of them tragically lost their lives. It's awful. And what makes it even more awful is that people in California pay an insane amount of taxes only to be continuously failed by their government who seems to make these problems worse, rather than prepare for or mitigate the damage. I guess they'd rather focus on diversity...
There's not enough fire fighters, the reservoirs are empty, the water hydrants were/are empty, brush wasn't properly managed, fire fighting budgets were slashed... even
LA's fire chief, Kristin Crowley, placed the blame on Mayor Karen Bass:

Of course, hats off to the brave men and women who are risking their lives to contain these fires, even with the odds stacked against them. We fully support all first responders who bravely answer the call, regardless of how incompetent their leadership may be.
But naturally, any time there is a tragedy, there's always people who run towards the situation hoping to find a way to make a buck.
Even California's Governor Gavin Newsom mentioned "speculators" rushing to buy up burned properties in the wake of the fire. And he says all this with a shocking amount of giddiness. Why are you dancing you weirdo? The ashes are still smoldering...

And who knows what kind of f*ckery is afoot. There has been mass reporting that a number of homeowners saw their fire insurance canceled in the past year, there's been reporting in Maui that building permits insurance investigations were delayed so homeowners would either default on their mortgage and/or sell the land cheap to be rid of it. And now, there's evidence that at least some of these fires were started by people... perhaps even intentionally.
It's just a sad, sad situation all the way around. A sad, sad situation where our only comfort, even if only for a moment, is... the comedy of Mr. Tim Dillon. As someone who's lived in LA and spent a lot of time in the comedy scene there, Tim is quite familiar with the area, as well as the people, the government, the culture... pretty much every aspect of life in Los Angeles. So who better to give us a little shot of perspective.
He recently shared this
Zillow listing to Instagram with the caption:
"At this point real estate agents should just be put in jail."

Hey, real estate never sleeps...
The
Zillow listing that wasted no time updating its description to let folks know that this particular Palisades mansion was NOT in fact burned down, and could be yours for the low, low price of just $6 million dollars. And what's more... only ONE house on the whole street burned down! Great news! I mean, we have no idea what the rest of the neighborhood looks like, and according to the school districts on the listing, the elementary school burned down, the middle school is still closed, and part of the high school burned down, but hey, at least you have a newly unobstructed view of the ocean. Apparently, you can also rent it for a cool $29,000 a month.
It's hysterical. And look, I understand the real estate agent still has a job to do, but once again, the ashes are still SMOLDERING down the street, you barely have neighbors, and you have no schools... who wants to buy this house for $6 million, a $600,000 increase since November 2024. The house also sold for $4.85 million just two years ago.
The comments provided some more laughs:
“New view window just opened up. You can see the pacific….over the rubble.”
"Picturesque with sweeping views of the rubble and debris."
"I bet it's not even discounted."
"Private Oasis"
"No noisy neighbors."
"Thank goodness for the wine fridge.
"Abundance of natural light... from the fire."
"Included with the purchase of this fine property are several fentanyl crazed fire bugs that live in the adjacent wilderness."
"Someone’s making good use of the crisis center Wi-Fi."
And because I'm a lunatic, and spend a shocking amount of time on Zillow, I looked up the place... not bad:

I imagine that view is a lot better without all those pesky trees in the way...
