I mean, worse shots have been taken. Essentially the "joke" I saw him do (and he was workshopping it at the time, it wasn't a fully formed bit) was "The Trepidation of the Dave Matthews fan" where he talks about being in line at a Starbucks and witnessing an instance where the barista asked the customer what they were up to and the customer responds they're going to a concert that night. When the barista asked who the customer was seeing, Maron saw the trepidation in the guy being unsure about how the barista would react to the news that it was Dave Matthews Band--which I thought was funny because that is DEFINITELY something I've experienced when having to tell people who I'm going to see haha. At least here in Los Angeles where everyone is too cool for school.
He then went on to say he just doesn't get the appeal of the music, and he's tried. Then he makes fun of every fan whose immediate response is "But you GOTTA admit they're all insanely talented musicians" which -- again, has been my response to people who don't like them fairly often haha.
Obviously not A+ material, but just saying he wasn't taking hard shots at the band.
