Hey so I watched the Foodfight review Phelous, Lupa, and Brad did, and have decided Phelous's sense of humor is something I want more of in my life. What are some good reviews to check out?

With the drama at CA, I'm a little paranoid at what might have really gone down at Mythbusters. Probably nothing as dramatic, but you never know.

Well Mythbusters isn't a start-up manned by controlling manchildren, so it has that.

At least as far as I know.

In Brad's defense, Tree of Life is a loving terrible movie.

Not in his defense, it's been years and everyone has moved on including the cinema snobs he's parodying.

Also he jokes about exactly this. Could be a coincidence, but... I wonder. :tinfoil:

Todd did say he read the old thread and was thinking about registering before it got gassed or locked, I forgot which.

It's kind of impressive that Bruno Mars had both a "Lazy Song" and "Uptown Funk" in him. He is large, and contains multitudes.

Shark Tale is better once you realize it's that scene in Eastern Promises where a gay mobster has to have sex with a woman to prove he can take over the family, but with sharks.

I do because AS pulls poo poo like defending mental institutions that put shock collars on kids because they shake their hands and taze a kid over and over again for not making his bed. And F-Plus painted the objection as "Man, internet weirdos am I right", prefacing it as a good organization that helps people.

I know folk find me odd for being peeved about it, but it's more of an ingrained problem with this sort of stuff than exclusively F+.

Nah man, I totally get where you're coming from. F+ seems like good guys who wouldn't intentionally support a lovely organization though.

Holy poo poo. Just when I think MovieBob is the worst thing ever he somehow gets even shittier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhYMAEBOR_4

The first six minutes of a twelve minute video are all dedicated to his awful skits and then he goes about making his point in the dumbest way possible. I like how he makes anyone who disagrees with his point the biggest dumbass strawman dudebro in every single video. I almost want to read his Super Mario Bro's 3 book just to see how much of a trainwreck it is.

Jesus Christ.

Most of what I know about Moviebob is that he makes boring but mostly okay-seeming movie reviews and seems like a sane person from what I see get retweeted on my twitter feed. But this is... somehow worse than the Irate Gamer.

Yup. You've got it totally right. Look at these hack frauds, editing, acting, building sets, doing effects, and producing content on a shoestring budget. How dare they hope to attain the comedy heights of an international star with all of a channel's weight thrown behind him.

That poo poo lead to Josh Hadley having a swearing fit at Diamanda Hagan, thinking she was making GBS threads on Heavy Metal when she just had her hands tied next to Doug and not be able to elaborate on well, anything. She guested on another episode and Josh started by apologizing to her.

I think people are disappointed because while random people might not be up on trans rights, people like Doug and the RLM crew are on the internet where there's been more of a push for trans rights and they're expected to know better. I don't think anyone is accusing them of being awful irredeemable people for this, it's just a criticism.
