the metrics that really mattered were that the channel would lose subscribers every time they went live, which has an easy answer (going live reminds people that they're subscribed) but is still a hard metric to ignore

IMO it's pretty clear in recent years that how good or lovely a comics hero was in past forms doesn't really reflect how they will be in whatever new adaptation happens with them in it

Yeah, are you guys high? That was a great episode! Everything that made it in the recording was good.

There's people in this thread who really dislike live taz/mbmbam eps no matter what, and there are similarly people who can't get enough of them

I've never understood it.

xander is in fact one of the prime examples given in the sourcebook for that character type, too (I forget if it's outright mentioned in the podcast)

I think it's fine and I think their reason to move away from the Bachelor was a good decision, even if it left the podcast fairly directionless

I know that it’s part of his whole shtick, and that it’s borderline blasphemy to say this, but I get really annoyed when Justin starts laughing at his own joke or story that he’s in the process of trying to say out loud. In 90% of those situations, when he finally gets out whatever was cracking him up so much it has lost any potential for humor that it might have had.

i mean it's not a 'shtick' it's something that happens to him legit sometimes

there's a great moment in the mcelroy tv show where he starts stumbling with a goof and the other two goad him so much about it he starts laughing so hard he turns red

also I'd be shocked if MF didn't outright collapse without the mcelroy family on it given how they've ended up orders of magnitude more successful than the other like seventy people on the network + I wouldn't doubt it if that wasn't in the back of any of their heads if they ever did consider a patreon instead

I guess I should be more specific. It's hard to describe making fun of a specific subset of people while not being offensive without the context of a comedy show.

maybe it's hard to describe what's good about making fun of marginalized groups because it isn't actually a good thing

How did you turn "a subset of people" into "marginalized groups"?

Whenever someone complains about how you can't be crude or gonzo in comedy because of the :siren: SJW Fun Police :siren: I want to point them toward the McElroys. Their entire career is proof that you can make funny "clean" jokes without bowdlerization.

Warranted or not, I was saying to be your own person, don't seek validation by following trends. It should be something that is supported. You want to complain because I was a little rough on the delivery fine. I don't want to poo poo up the thread but you guys are doing most of the work. Chill.

people might be getting on your case because all you do in this thread is make weird attacks and this one was just more weird than usual

there's about enough of a goof in the bk piss meal to fit into a tweet and not a lot more than that (and it being marketing for mental health -- even though it's very tone deaf marketing -- might make them decide to pass)

Also it being a jab at McDonald's kinda undermines any legitimate point it might have about mental health

one of the non-piss meals is called the 'yass meal' so i imagine some marketing rear end in a top hat asked an intern what kids these days were like and all they got was 'memes and depression'

which, yknow, tracks
