Did you ever hear when Sam called into Tims show to complain bout Tim getting him fired. Extremely pathetic poo poo.

Yeah I listened to that whole thing. Tim came off a lot better than Sam did. I think having WP cancelled really broke their brains since it caused Charls to leave. I'm subscribed to Sam's new stuff on gumroad and it's just not as good without Charls' creative input

Kind of, but Tim and Eric were capable of either making a point or just being absurd. MDE always seemed to be grasping at something but not getting there, and seething with rage the entire time.

He is extremely funny. 1/3 of it is his editing ability, 1/3 of it is his improvisation and 1/3 is his willingness to debase himself. There are just so many moments like when he eats a paper towel covered in ice cream, or does the "splortch" sound effect reaching for the cameraman's pussy, or goes on a five minute monologue about wearing clothes from Ross that make me laugh more than anything on TV

This is true. Even in the solo improv videos he almost always has a cameraman egging him on

That poo poo happens when you process everything through bitterness. Many a 4chan style man driven to insanity by having an inability to observe something they hate and not obsess over it endlessly while the peanut gallery eggs you on.

tim and eric is like a million times funnier because there's A Joke. it's usually buried pretty deep in there and is often pretty abstract or multi-layered, but at the core of every tim and eric sketch is an idea. it would be funny if X happened/it's funny when Y happens. but there's a core there that anchors the comedy. the sketches can use that core as a reference or touchstone to keep from being too scattered or just so weird that they're not longer funny.

MDE is always purely reactive. insofar as there's any animating idea it's usually outward-looking, like "look at these loving idiots" or "think about how mad this is going to make people." it has no inherent meaning or comedy that is tied specifically to the creator and viewer, you always have to loop in a third party to either react to or imagine how they'll react to sam + co.

i liked some early MDE stuff but rewatching it more recently it's really grating because i'm no longer the person i was then and because i no longer have the same attitudes and i things i care about as i used to have. i don't feel the same way about other people that i did then, and my worldview is now so different that i can't make it line up with MDE's. meanwhile Free House for Jim Boonie is still as funny as it ever was and probably always will be

MDE took the lesson of "don't be afraid if people don't get it" and went so far down the rabbit hole that they couldn't give people even the barest hint of a path towards understanding, and that's accepting the idea that there was even something in there to understand, which I am not sure about and don't care enough to rewatch to try to find out.

Yeah I don't get this impression from it at all. Very little of the catalog is made just to troll. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by a "core" but almost all MDE sketches have themes and specific goals of satire just like Tim and Eric sketches do

I'm the opposite just because Tim and Eric sketches are older and inspired now-discredited Weird Twitter type comedy. So both those things weigh them down a little

speaking of canadians... reading the affidavit in the base case. the feds reviewed "google location data, cell phone location data, and recorded telephone calls" to determine that the pair from maryland traveled to michigan to pick up mathews after he hopped the border

an undercover FBI agent apparently monitored them at a gun range and heard them firing the illegally manufacturing assault rifle they made! :lol:

they went back to the same gun range, and the FBI had set up a "stationary camera near the gun range, and an ATF agent was in the vicinity of the range." so they got video of them with the gun and had ATF listen into the rat-a-tat-tat

what I mean, basically, is that famous sketches like williamsburg street fashion basically rely on you, the viewer, having certain attitudes towards a specific third party, that is Brooklyn hipsters. and not just certain attitudes but an emotional attachment to those attitudes, such that you’d feel vindicated or pleased by seeing them enacted by Sam. i still think those people are super annoying, my sister lived in that area for years and I hated visiting her, but because I just don’t care about Brooklyn hipsters as much as sam does I don’t find the sketch as funny as his fans do. whereas to find Premium Prices funny I don’t have to care or even really know about cheaply produced late night commercials.

It's the second one, the whole thing about "washing their hands of you" makes no sense otherwise and is RW standard operating procedure when a TPUSA-intern-tier guy draws too much attention. My guess is they wanted the guys benefactors to turn this whole thing into a big crusade in his name and they were like nahhhhh.

no, primarily because Glinner doesn't know the difference between trans people and drag queens, so his whole idea that this was about "being bullied by the transes for standing up for gay men" makes no sense here
