It's because of all the time traveling he did as a child.
Also I just saw this recently, Justin and Griffin going over some of the rejected names for Polygon.

Go back and listen to the first episodes once they joined MaxFun (I think they start at like episode 31). There are some absolute gems there and Griffin deciding that doing jingles for people's personal ads was too weird and stopping is the 2nd-saddest MBMBAM bit cancellation after the stop of the extreme restraints ads.

They gotta get these guys back somehow, I've never looked forward to the ad section of a podcast before or since. It was a bit in itself.

I wouldn't be so remorseful about all the other cancelled bits if the loving Sad Libs didn't keep coming back

Though Griffin getting increasingly incensed at the lameness of his own audience is pretty good

It's not like I've got no worries...
But I'll be fine.
Extreme restraints has come back a couple of times at least. I think, just a little bit, that part of the reason why it stopped was both because it was no longer getting a significant amount of traffic for the website (duh) but also because, even if it seemed like it, that well of comedy would have dried up sooner or later.

Along the same lines, though, I sorta wish that Slipshine had been a sponsor for longer because if they had started doing some dives into those archives they could have discovered some serious poo poo, and if one of the brothers (okay it would definitely be Griffin) got, like, actually invested in some of those porn comics I can imagine that it would have led to some pretty great goofs

Anyway that's my mbmbam fanfic thanks for reading

I also enjoyed their incredulity at that soap that fits into other soap they had to advertise for a while.

IIRC, with Extreme Restraints, they also had to keep changing to coupon code because it had been being used by too many people or something. Like, they kept getting posted online on pages that had nothing to do with MBMBaM and over-used, so they had to change it more or less week to week. But yeah, there's only so many jokes one can make about putting a dick in a cage.

I think this is a philosophy we can all aspire to.

Yes but regardless of how many dick cage jokes get made I would rather hear many many more iterations of a dick prison joke from Griffin than fresh new ad content for another goddamn podcast done by "best friends just hanging out" or half the other poo poo they advertise for.

Plus, Extreme Restraints gave us the PG-rated candlenights ad.

I enjoy those from sort of an anti-comedy standpoint because I like to hear them struggle to think of anything significant to say outside of the ad copy.

For the Max Fun plugs, that entire network is supernaturally bad at self promotion. Even for the podcasts I love I'll admit that their ads are cringe made flesh.

As for the other poo poo they advertise, there's a reason why Nature Box, Harry's, Club W and Casper can only afford to advertise on podcasts and that because they're shiiiit.

Even that has diminished. Their old money zones were pure wild west and the current ones are mostly just falling over each other to suck off Nature Box (gas station snacks at 3 times the price!) Or Blue Apron (charging $10 a meal for potatoes and kale)

If it's a company that claims to "disrupt the (product) industry" or "change the way people get (product)" they're probably dumb as poo poo and they probably advertise on podcasts.

It's funny how these hip new startups are always basically Netflix, but for food/underwear/mattresses/wine/etc.

It may surprise you to learn that not everyone innately knows what to get, how to pick it, and how to put it all together. Not to mention actually having access to numerous ingredients.

Harry's is alright. They're decent razors at a better price than store-bought.

I'm poor, so I can't really judge any of the others. Also, while they don't ship to my state, Club W's quiz thing they have you fill out did give me a decent idea of what wines I should drink.

I've never used a Casper mattress but you can get both a spring and memory foam mattress delivered to your door in tightly-packed, portable form from Amazon for less than a Casper mattress and I doubt the markup is anything but branding.

Harry's is funny because they advertise on a lot of podcasts whose hosts are all conspicuously bearded and it's fun watching the hosts tiptoe around that by praising the packaging or the design of the razor.

The pro way to buy razors online is to order the ones that Dollar Shave Club uses directly from their South Korean manufacturer.

Because of all the Blue Apron ads I took my friend up on an offer for a free Hello Fresh delivery and it was pretty awesome. I'd try Blue Apron. But I probably wouldn't actually pay for it weekly because I"m an adult who can make a grocery list and plan meals.

I like hearing them talk about Blue Apron and Nature Box because they're psyched about the food every time and seem to give a poo poo about the products. I will take this any day over Travis trying to sound excited about Basecamp or Zip Recruiting, there's nothing to work with there.

Naturebox does actually have some good-rear end snacks. And MeUndies is probably all I'll ever wear now. Blue Apron is good but not really worth the price where I'm at.

If the marketing plan for these places is to just oversaturate it's working pretty well.

I tried Dorco's razors out, they're the same price for cartridges as Harry's and lasted about half as long.

e: Harry's creams and gels and stuff are a ripoff though, they aren't any better than most of what you can find in a nicer grocery store, but for twice the price.

The actual worst ad spot is that unsecured debt reseller that was calling itself a "peer to peer" lender, when they were just selling you all the liability for a bunch of unsecured debt in exchange for a much too small portion of the returns.
