Constipated: Nov 25, 2009; Gotta make that money man its still the same now

That migrant crisis stand up video is the funniest amateur stuff I've seen probably ever. He really doesn't give a gently caress. I love how at the end of the Retarded Kyle one 2 guys try to take shots at him for making fun of the mentally handicapped, and its clear from the crowds mood what they are about to say/have said is falling flat.

quote:

If Twitter is to be believed, second-rate Internet comedian Sam Hyde is behind every nationally publicized shooting of the past year � that�s more than a dozen since last October. On Wednesday, he was named by online trolls as the UCLA shooter, yet again, and the circle of online-savvy users who know of the �Sam Hyde is the shooter� meme grew a little larger.

...

When reached for comment about the various mass shooter framing attempts by 4chan, Hyde seemed to played along, writing, �It�s crazy, haha, yeah, crazy, haha!�

Hyde�s comment, intentionally, comes off as if he is a little unhinged, but it works here because that is why so many people are fooled each time by the meme � he seems to fits into the now-familiar profile pattern of lone white gunman, who more times than not, is racist. The new addition of Bernie supporter to the myth that is �Sam Hyde as American Shooter� reveals an interesting public opinion shift in what constitutes as an �unhinged white man.�

...

Hyde�s comedy style could be compared to Tom Green in that it�s over-the-top offensive, borderline-cringe male humor that makes teen boys snort and giggle. His troupe, Million Dollar Extreme describes itself as �misandrous comedioterrorists� and besides the �Sam Hyde As Shooter� meme, the troupe�s main claim to fame is terrorizing game developer Brianna Wu with various videos involving guns, knives, and death threats. Hyde�s humor finding an audience could be attributed as a backlash to feminist ideals, or �PC culture run amok,� becoming more mainstream � like the rise of MRAs online, for example.

Despite its limited-sized audience and scope, Million Dollar Extreme did get picked up by Cartoon Network�s Adult Swim to do a series called �Million Dollar Extreme: World Peace.� Hyde was not able to comment on when the series would premiere.

The press release promises MDE: World Peace will �unlock your closeted bigoted imagination, toss your inherent racism into the burning trash, and cleanse your intolerant spirit with pure unapologetic American funny_com.�

The irony!

...

Edit: It should be noted that Hyde�s statement is just a series of 4chan memes mocking progressives (except the �saving money on car insurance� meme). Deconstructed, his statement is a perfect example of this no-chill Internet subculture. The idea of Hyde � of any man, really � being a caring and responsible stepfather and a practitioner of the Jewish faith is oh-so-hilarious to this demographic.

something about the author's tone seems kinda envious, tbh

Someone loosely affiliated with MDE made a troll character named Jace "parkourdude91" Connors. He constantly rambled on about parkouring all over people's faces assassin's creed style, how a 100 yard restraining order is nothing because he can hit a bullseye from 200 yards with his deagle as long as he smokes some weed to steady his aim, hitting up skate parks to parkour, living with his parents at 30, his best friend being 16, and how he was the best street racer. He even streamed on twitch for a few years while wearing sunglasses and other dumb stuff and claiming to be a badass. Stream highlights include being harassed by/talking to his "mom" and supposedly having a felony dui.

The character launched operation TUPACOLYPSE where they were sending a 16 year old to Israel, a country of muslims by their own video description, with a weapon to kill the former prime minister and free Tupac who has been trapped there since the 90s. Included a real fake in-flight video and some other funny stuff.

Then they launched operation WUPOCALYPSE where phase 1 aimed to kill Brianna Wu through coercing her into an illegal street race during a New England Blizzard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GhaqHL8GOk

That was the video that gained him notoriety, and Brianna Wu spent 2 days in court trying to get a restraining order against an imaginary person. Jezebel/a few other sites wrote articles about a deranged gamergater making appalling and shocking death threats. Then when it came out it was just a joke character mocking the whole thing there were articles like "Psychopath who harassed Brianna Wu: Just Kidding!" even though the "harassment" was stupid youtube videos on a channel full of overt parody. The video doesn't even mention Brianna Wu during the recorded part because it was adlibbed during him actually crashing his car in Maine. The Wu stuff was edited in at the end.

A bunch of serious gamer people spent over a year trying to harass/troll/dox him before the Brianna Wu thing even happened. He's a parody making fun of dumb gamer culture. Apparently neither group of idiots realized he was a fictional character and even questioned whether MDE saying he was in fact just a fictional character was just MDE trolling everyone and protecting the "real" Jace Connors.

Brianna Wu still mentions his "death threats" and harassment in speeches to this day.

an ex of mine was super caught up in social justice tumblr bullshit. i guess claiming someone who uses death threats is a joke is a cardinal sin in tumblr land, where anyone making death threats must 100% be taken as a real threat always.

its like concern trolling that lost its sense of self awareness and became completely unironic

I'm sure the show will be a return to form, but I miss the really polished and produced stuff that they used to do like four years ago. Most of their recent stuff seems to be stuff that they do either on their phones or driving around in their car (with the exception of like the heist). Although the video in a Walgreens is hilarious.

Did the Kickstarter thing ever come out or what? I would've actually donated to get that. Looks pretty hilarious although idubbbz does just about the same thing

Yeah it's out, I bought it through some weird service. It has a weird, irritating audio distortion that persists through the entire series lol

He doesn't. I think I read somewhere that he saw it and thought it was funny but never actively condoned or condemned it.
