Detective J.J. Bittenbinder is not amused by John Mulaney's jokes about him

Bittenbinder also told the Tribune that he didn’t appreciate Mulaney’s jokes about his name, explaining that it’s German for “barrel-maker” and that it’s an “honorable profession” that his ancestors used to do—a response so brutal that Mulaney probably feels like he just got knocked out. Bittenbinder also noted that Mulaney misrepresented some anti-crime tips from his adult-targeted program, explaining that he suggests people keep a money clip with $5 in their pocket so they can give it up to a mugger instead of their real wallet. In his special, Mulaney says this was a tip the detective told to kids at schools and that it was a $50 bill, but Bittenbinder says he’s fudging the truth “to get laughs.”

Still, Bittenbinder isn’t too heartbroken about all of this, saying that he “must have gotten through” to Mulaney if he’s still talking about this stuff from when he was just a kid. We don’t know if Mulaney has ever been murdered or kidnapped, but if not he should probably think about thanking Detective Bittenbinder instead of making him somewhat famous.
