Chris Hardwick: The new Spider Man looks EPIC! Be sure to subscribe to Loot Crate!

30 Under 30 Media Luminary Griffin McElroy: Actually I make my own jokes that are cool and good.

I almost turned off the latest MBMBAM once the first girl asked her ~quirky~ question. So happy I didn't. The brothers got pretty brutal towards all the bad questions and it was exactly what I needed.

Honestly, unless you're getting really really bothered by the McElroys being careful/thoughtful/apologetic I think it's pretty clear that them doing so hasn't actually had a single major negative effect on either MBMBAM or TAZ. It seems to be mainly a case of people getting mad on behalf of them, assuming that they're not actually genuinely thinking of their fans and trying to do well by them + instead are being 'badgered into submission' or 'held hostage' or whatever the metaphor is today.

The negative effect for me is that they now have to spend minutes apologizing for a concept before it even gets used. For example, Griffin rambling about how Justin's character is NOT bipolar. I feel like 99.9% of people would never make that connection in the first place. But JUST IN CASE one person out there gets offended, Griffin has to apologize to everyone.

It throws off the pacing of the show and just isn't fun to listen to. I wouldn't call it a "major negative effect," but certainly a negative one.

I mean, does anybody really care about the stories in these live shows in such a way that people clapping would be rude?

I care that it cuts the episode in half because 50% of airtime is spent waiting for the audience to shut up.

At a Boston live show Justin’s 15 year old sister in law came out onto the stage to introduce the show. A man next to me in his twenties screamed at her, “I APPRECIATE YOOOUUU!”

I still have no idea what's going on in this story. There's too many characters and they are all Griffin, so they all sound alike.

Danni, FBI guy who hasn't really done anything noteworthy, Cop 1, Ghost Cop 2, Aubrey's training buddy, somebody named Danni, a goatman who can't really talk, a goatman who CAN talk, the mothman, Duck's predecessor...I can't keep these folks straight.


So Sylvain is another planet that is connected to Earth. But Minerva is from a third planet? And she had a war with a fifth planet? And now alien light-beings from a sixth planet are attacking Earth? But the abominations from before were from Sylvain?

Mama made a statue and Ned stole the statue and this was important?
All of the side characters are now missing and neither the government nor Mama knows where they went?
Somebody was a floating coffin made of light?
There was a telescope that broke and this was important? Now there's a new telescope?


I guess the show just doesn't hold my attention, and I forget things while waiting for the new episode. I wish they'd play their arcs for 6 months max.

I find this poo poo to be incredibly irritating because people refer to stuff like this like "ha, isn't this fanbase craaaaazy?" and it inevitably turns but to be something that one or two idiots said that for some reason got blown wildly out of proportion and somehow morphed into being emblematic of some huge contingent of people that doesn't actually exist. It's nothing.

That’s all well and good, but what else am I going to post on this dumb dead forum? Nothing good, that’s for sure.
