Ah, so it may not be "hitting" the button so much as "hitting on" the button.
"You are just the sexiest button I've ever seen. How 'bout you and me go out to dinner?"
Well there's a reason you can't spell "button" without "butt".
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's a joke about a racist character, rather than a racist joke.
Thing is, I'm not convinced of this. Since "provocative asshat" is pretty much the only persona he puts out in public, and I don't find him funny, why should I give him the benefit of the doubt?

You shouldn't necessarily. I guess it depends on how much leeway you're willing to give someone for a sense of humour. I tend to find Vincent Gallo pretty funny, but I have a notoriously broad sense of humour.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's all in fun, right? I mean, he took the critics reaction to The Brown Bunny in stride, and had a good laugh about it, right?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Will he hold out?!?!??! CAN HE HOLD OUT??!?!?!?
If you're ready for me, boy
You'd better push the button and let me know....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He's either extremely detail-oriented and thorough in his cover, or Jars has a bigger sense of humour than he does.

He's definitely a dick, though. I just don't think he's that kind of dick.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's got a nice Boy's Own adventure serial feel to it. Cliffhanger every week that reminds me of old Alias. Big plotting that doesn't go quite smoothly, fantastical wheels within wheels.
And Wentworth Miller has plot-dictated shirtlessness.
This is all very nice but my favorite part of the show right now is watching Peter Stormare and Robert Knepper alternately chew scenery.

Was Stormare always using an accent? He sounded very paisan last night. I think I mean paisan. I think that's how it's spelled.
That's way too much thinking for this time of the morning.
