Kyle Kinane is creating hilariously subversive “sponsored” posts over on his Instagram

Comedian Kyle Kinane is no stranger to sarcasm: the comic / voice of Comedy Central, a Chicago native who now lives in LA, has spent several decades perfecting the way his punk rock attitude shines through in his stand-up, and now, he’s moving on to more subversive ways of showing off his slick wit.
