"Tiny Trains"

I couldn't get through a max landis episode. Is he acting? is that a character he's playing that he thinks is funny? Is that just how he is?

I really enjoyed Freddy Williams as well. He should come back.

The drawings he made of the airbag teddy bear were amazing.

Josh is fine, he's just not that funny compared to the rest of the cast. He could never ruin an episode of anything for me. I was going to agree that he tries too hard sometimes but then I remembered Max Landis.
As for unkempt appearance and slight weirdness, this is nerd entertainment.

True. In terms of "tries way to hard to make the guys laugh", Josh bunts but Max Landis knocks it out of the park.

The problem with Josh is that he is perfectly suited for the very podcasts The Nerd Crew poo poo all over. He could guest host on one of them and he'd be a loving superstar.

Have to agree with this, the Max Landis BotW is the only one I don't rewatch/put on in the background when I'm doing something else. Gillian, The Canadians, Freddy Williams, Len Kabasinski, are all fine guests and I have no problems with any of them. Max Landis I hope never shows up ever again.

The Max Landis episode was loving great, he was a little annoying but every movie and conversation in that episode was just hilarious.

max landis is just uncomfortable to watch because out everyone he has the neediest, biggest and weakest ego but behaves in the most attention grabbing manner to satiate these needs, which is grating and makes people squirm.

in contrast, someone like rich evans who's image gets used for clickbait showing a "loser" is leagues more comfortable in his own skin which makes him a national treasure because he's simply Rich.

Its time to fess up. I really wanted this thread to be a gold thread when it was created but as time has gone on I have come to accept that a 3 is really the rating this thread (and therefor myself as well) deserves.

I can't do any better than this and to believe I was actually funny was clearly me giving in to the max landis part of myself. I am sorry.

It's true. Josh would be a rockstar if he joined IGN, Giant Bomb, Screen Junkies, Cinema Disaster, Movie Geek News, Film oval office, Nerd gently caress, or any of the other dork vlogs.

He's just severely outclassed among sex titans like Rich and Jay.

Rich is completely on the opposite end of the scale when compared to someone like Max Landis, in that he's perfectly fine with looking silly and being the butt of jokes from Mike and others, because he clearly gives absolutely zero fucks what anyone (or at least anyone outside of his immediate circle) thinks about him. :c00lbert:

i was lookin at that comb over, and it kinda sucks cuz it doesn't look like it's really long side hairs that are being brought over like your classic combover, but just some longer hold outs up towards the front. It'd suck to worry about shaving that all the time, though i guess a short buzz wouldn't be that bad. still it'd be nicer to just be totally bald up there rather than figure out what to do with the tuft you have. Cody from cracked has the same kinda thing going where the back disappeared but he's still got all the stuff up front

Yeah the Neil Breen movie far outweighs anything Max Landis can do to ruin that episode.

To be honest Josh or Max Landis don't bother me too much, they just aren't my top picks for BotW.

Max Landis is cool and the reason a lot of people don't like him is because he's passionate and self-assured without being at all traditionally masculine and that is upsetting and confusing for people obsessed with categorization.

i agree with you except for the self-assured part, he's comes off as a bit desperate to ingratiate himself which could just be overenthusiasm at making friends and putting forward a good face but could also indicate low self esteem

or maybe he's just more aggressively hollywood when compared to the more midwestern style of the core RLM crew

Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.
The ending joke had Josh playing along like a good sport, but that part before where Rich whispered "Nobody cares" into the mic was an absolutely brutal own at his expense, and definitely the highlight of the episode, especially since it was proceeded by mike giving a quick "ugh" glance at the camera

Every time Rich talks directly into the mic you know some good poo poo is happening.

I particularly liked the opening where Mike was like "We brought out the wide, large thing full of useless poo poo... And the plinketto board!"

This, except actually not this at all

I didn't like him because he came across to me as one of those people who are annoying, grating, and desperately trying to be seen as the hippest kid in the room. Which is especially ironic considering the RLM dudes are about as far removed from giving a gently caress about being considered "cool" as it gets.

I would hold this opinion even if Max Landis looked like he came straight out of an 80s action movie--complete with a lusty woman draping herself over him--during his BotW appearance

josh wasn't actually in on the joke at the end. it was actually a longwinded and belabored discussion that josh took 100% seriously but mike edited it to the joke we see before us.

I think thats why he meshes so well with the gang, like once a year tops. i kept expecting mike to start glaring at the camera when Max just wont. let. up. about getting Rich to go on and on about the Double Down movie. like rich didn't need that much prodding, he could have explained it funny without constantly being interrupted, but the boys didnt seem super annoyed by it or anything, they were laughing along as mMax ramped up right along with Rich.

so thats my storyof what i think re: max landis slash are el em
