I guess that piece was meant to be a plea for sympathy? Except in actuality it succeeded in confirming, without requiring any prior knowledge of the man, that Sam Hyde is a megaturd.

I watched some clips of this out of curiosity. It uses surrealist dystopian wonder showzen aesthetics to add zaniness to sketches that are just vehicles for MRA influenced "social commentary." Some racism thrown about for good measure as well.
Stupid.

I was worried that it was just an irreverent show that had been misinterpreted but nope. Pure poison.

The notion of a right-wing Wonder Showzen really creeps me out. I always admired that show's brazen far-left slant (even if some of the ways it manifested were pretty hard to watch)

Is anyone who's seen this show familiar with Little Britain, an irritatingly popular sketch show in, er, britain a few years back? Just wondered how it compared, if at all

I think the show had a lot of potential to be a conservative counterpoint on adult swim, but the obsession with gay people / them wearing drag is... hmm... lots of lazy racism, as well. I think the bit with the wine where the guy trips the other guy's wife is a brilliant take on gaslighting. the most compelling parts of MDE's work are the satire of leftist / neoliberal groupthink and mob mentality (I'm thinking specifically of the intro to one of their videos where it's a title card that reads "we went to one of the places in America where all the stupid people are and you're not supposed to go - texas!" with a sneering pic of Jon Stewart in the corner).
"Pure poison" is such a stretch. These guys are from suburban MA. Of course they're not going to understand BLM. Of course they're into nationalism. I don't think they're these cunning racist agents, they're just products of their environment... like the underlying tone of most of their YouTube videos (wburg fashion, wburg comedy nite, etc) is resentment and rage at the arrogance of "the beautiful people." That is a necessary counterpoint to our masturbatory pop culture. But if your audience is harassing and threatening people incessantly and you do very little to stop it, I have no sympathy. It's a shame, the show could've been good and I doubt anything like it will air on AS again anytime soon.

also, Hyde makes a good point in that piece - what is the difference between "Everyone Loves Kikes" (Eric Andre) and "Jews Rock" (MDE)?

dude, I did. I posted it. If you're only interfacing with white people all day, chances are you won't understand BLM if your only exposure to it is on CNN or Fox or Drudge or 4chan.

Not excusing it. It's human nature. Seems like people have a really hard time sympathizing with groups of people they never see. Just an observation. I live in a predominantly black city, BLM is necessary and obvious to me, and I've seen how ppl in white suburban enclaves don't get it at all ("why are they destroying their own neighborhood?").
How does this relate to MDE??? Well I think their racism is easily explained, lazy, and of no value. Doesn't really make a difference if it's conscious or not.

Woof, I know this doesn't go for everybody. But I've seen it in relatives and people I know. Fuck me, I didn't mean to wake up and get on the pike for MDE, I just think calling them "pure poison" is a lil out there.

The show wasn't even that good, it was often diluted Tim & Eric / Wonder Showzen bs absurdity. But it was occasionally great (tripping the wife gaslighting bit). Sorry for getting sidetracked

Not going to read that Borat thread, I'm sure there are good points, there's a lot of stuff I don't like in Cohen's work but I doubt anything is going to convince me that his best stuff isn't genius and hilarious. I don't think the Ali G film was very good but the dream sequence where his dick falls out nearly broken my ribs.
And as bad a Little Britain could be there was still really good bits and pieces on occasion.

Yeah I agree with Treeship all the way (though w the caveat that his "dark, menacing vibe" makes room for how startling and oblique some of the sketches--like the wine party one flappy bird keeps referring to--can be).
But anyone saying the alt-right hype is overblown is full of shit; it's there from the beginning and only gets more apparent as it progresses

Sam Hyde's parody TED talk was actually funny and I don't think it offered any clues as to where he would go next, not least as he seemed to be sending himself the fuck up. Very dispiriting to learn more about what was to come.
