I think this was after it was revealed that the whole thing driving the pivot to video trend was a lie by Facebook

yea that 'pivot to video' poo poo was loving tragic for so many sites. Facebook just literally lied to everyone and then was all 'lol mah bad' when it got discovered and all these sites like Polygon who made massive changes thinking they were adapting quickly to a trend were left completely high and dry.

I mean as a Jewish person myself I think it's funny but it is kinda wild how the guys who apologize for everything fully went ham on branding 'one of us forgot the name Hanukkah, said 'you know, candlenights', and we just decided it was our thing now'.

As A Jew the part about "candlenights" that shits me is that it's christmas. It's just christmas. It has no real elements of other festivals and all the non-religious elements of christmas. They should just call it christmas then, there's nothing wrong with people raised celebrating christmas wanting to do special stuff with their podcast project for christmas!

You can't make christmas all inclusive of all people just by renaming it, and also it's okay to celebrate a cultural holiday without everyone in the world also celebrating it. Trying to insist that it's totally neutral and all-inclusive feels like trying to impose christmas celebration on everyone.

yea it's a bit awkward that the whole 'personal pan pansexual all welcoming holiday' is just 'we gave christmas a cutesy name'. Like, it's fine, you can just do christmas, we're not gonna burst into flame if three west virginia boys' only real holiday frame of reference is christmas, just do that.

'I was doing a puzzle so I let my child struggle for six hours to get food' is such powerful 'this didn't happen it was probably like five minutes of her getting flustered before figuring it out but why would you think this lie makes you seem cool when the real story would just be kinda generic 'lol kids right'' poo poo.

Did you read that thread? It's really clear he's being "edgy" and playing a persona. I'm not saying he isn't lovely, but he starts that thread by saying it's unbelievable and an outrage that a black girl got expelled for bullshit reasons, then goes into edgy ironic humor.

huh it's weird how he keeps adopting this persona that lets him talk about how sick of us Jews he is and use other slurs.

Love to say the n-word, but like, wearing a mask so it's okay.

yea I mean considering Griffin's music making hobby and the fact that I'm sure by now they know tons of small artists who'd love to be the theme I'm completely unsurprised, there's literally no reason to keep the dude around even minorly

it's probably just like any business book where a guy gets lucky and thinks that the specific things he did must be the reasons why

than anything it sounds like. Like it does seem he at least understands how niche it is because it sounds like a generic how to promote yourself and do business thing than a literal 'here's how YOU TOO can make a podcast empire with your two also very funny brothers and family...you have those right? And a time machine to go back to 2008? Cool cool cool, you're set.' thing.

Tony Hawk is extremely famously one of the most 'gettable' celebs, he 100% understands how 'I used to skateboard extremely well' ranks in the celeb world and seems to have zero ego accordingly. His twitter is wonderful.

Travis is really good in that ghost house tour video they released out of the blue a while ago. Though honestly they were all running on full cylinders in that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT5mva_bFQg

despite him being the very literal soyface embodiment he actually is quite good at physical comedy too. Like in that bit where he's going through the 'don't spit, puke, or pee on anyone' and he's just kinda shrugging his shoulders all 'pft can you believe this poo poo?' that's a funny bit.

Moving on a bit from the weirdness itt if you like Overboard I'd suggest watching Funhaus's Board as Hell videos, they're at least on par with Overboard at their best. Now I liked these guys from other videos on their channel so i dont know how they are for new fans but worth a shot if you like people playing board games and being silly/ funny. Here's a few I remember enjoying:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7Xj0RP59Eo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzw8VEMGbGI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3koIr-3pbfQ

I discovered Funhaus during lockdown and it really scratched that itch of like Giant Bomb when it was good and Polygon stupidity and just people having a great time playing games, though modern Funhaus while good at times isn't as good as it used to be as a lot of the crew have left, golden age was about 2 years ago and back from there.

Their drunk video game vids are also pretty fun too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHir8eYIZS0

Also if people dont like them or as it's the internet really hate them for some reason thats fine, its all subjective, I just like them and wanted to share :unsmith:

Funhaus is really good yea. They got kinda hosed by a string of people wanting to do their own thing (can't blame them, they work for Rooster Teeth and that place sounds loving unbearable) and one getting busted for being a complete creep who apparently caused a lot of backstage issues so they're down to like two or three of the 'originals', so a lot of fans got all 'agh change, this sucks' but I really like their newer people too.

I also like the new people, I think it's not helped that a lot of the new people have been more at the forefront during covid times and as a lot of their content is at home it's going to be about 10% as good as in studio stuff. Also yea gently caress Adam for being unable to not be weird in the office.

yea really rough timing for the new folks, their covid stuff has been solid but yea obviously they're best in person together so the combo of 'new person seen as 'replacing' an old time fave' and 'streaming from home which can suck rear end' is rough to come in on.
