Let's plays, unboxing videos, and whatever else you find on YouTube isn't substantially different than TV content, at least in a way that would gently caress kids up for watching them. With video games vs TV, ok, you've got an argument. It's a different type of content. I mean, it still didn't gently caress kids up, but it's different enough from what the previous generation grew up on that it at least makes sense. But let's plays, unboxings? They'd be on TV if the people who watched them were the ones who paid the cable bill.

Well if there's anything that TV has taught us over the last three decades, it's that people will always watch trash.

Yeah as far as I'm aware those package companies have a consumer base that's entirely people who open them up on YouTube to complain about them.

I sat through that on bad movie night and I still don't believe it exists, or that anyone could have thought it was a good idea. Charlie sheen is a raisin-eating dog detective in a supermarket full of brand icons (the characters call them "ikes") that only come to life after the store closes like a bizzarro Toy Story, generic brands come in to take over in the form of lockstepping nazi allegories called brand X, and there's a half-hour "battle" scene finale made entirely of looped footage. The CG quality is below what you would expect to see on a PS2 and everything looks like absolute rear end. There's an ambiguously gay vampire that's super into Charlie sheen's flying squirrel sidekick because he's made of chocolate, an extremely discomfortingly animated weasel named cheazel who is very obviously voiced by one of the producers or something, and interspersed in all of this bullshit are actual brand icons like Mr. Clean, the Hawaiian Punch guy, and Charlie the tuna. MULTIPLE REAL companies lent this insane shitshow the faces and likenesses of their product in a business decision I can only describe as baffling. The movie got auctioned off after being Duke Nukem Forevered for years (it was supposed to come out in 2003) after the people producing it defaulted.

Foodfight had a budget of 45 million dollars. It's insane.

So we've got an opened milk carton, an opened chocolate bar, a cookie with a bite taken out of it and a wormy apple, all of which are unsellable. I guess the strawberry is a GMO frankenfood that causes autism or something just to keep the theme up?

The hard drives containing the entire film went missing sometime around 2002/2003 and they had to start all over again from scratch. It was a total gently caress up from go to whoa.

Some of the companies wisely back out. Chester Cheetah appeared in the original trailer but was removed from the movie. Count Chocula also backed out and was replaced by the gay vampire that Cicadas! mentions.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I thought food fight was just because all those people's movies are insane and terrible. Or I'm mixing up with a different food movie that's poo poo.
