Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

goat

I think the closest thing we have to a consensus among the most good faith interlocutors in this thread is that Bernie needs to Sister Souljah Chapo. That would be insanely lucrative for them and mainly meaningless to normal people.

this would rule

"Chapo? More like crap-po. We're done!"

Felix and Virgil could buy Juul Inc

Will tweets are extremely cringey

will sucks

the way he says "rather" like rah-ther, he's a rich kid

i like em ok though

Will's simultaneously the most moderate politically and the most radical edgelord (since Felix got more earnest) but he can be a pretty decent host at keeping the show moving.

i don’t listen to the pod but i only like felix tweets

since we post Pareene tweets in this thread we should mention he has a new podcast "The Politics of Everything"

Will is definitely the dumbest chapo.

damn my rich kid radar is impeccable

OH MY FUCKING GOD FELIX IS A TOMMY

this is like the end of usual suspects

Following high school, he worked in the gym at the University of Chicago (located in his hometown of Hyde Park), and eventually attended and graduated from the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.  

xpost Thus their obsession with failsons

Will, for all his faults, has been pretty upfront about his background.

Matt feels real middle/working class Midwestern

I honestly cannot convey what a dickbag douche frat rich jock private school St. Thomas is.... the idea of a "Tommy" is total shorthand for a certain type of dude here

elizabeth sprout end tweet

Been a Chapo patreon for a while but I had to pump the brakes this month. Will needs to fuckin relax and take the L.

DM me, I would love to hear your advice on how to run a winning campaign

— Will🧙‍♂️Menaker (@willmenaker) March 6, 2020

Check the fuckin scoreboard on Tuesday if you want to impugn someone else's strategies for winning elections.

He's a podcaster with no actual affiliation to the Sanders campaign talking to one of Warren's staff, who were the 1985 Patriots in the primary?

He's tiresome but he's not wrong to talk shit to the campaign team that miserably tanked someone who was the front runner a few months ago.

better question what will be the Superbowl Shuffle of the 2020 campaign?

High High Hopes

For some reason, I now remember the Oakland Raiders trying to have a hit novelty single in like 1987

gang vocal chorus kind of slaps

Yeah, it was like that

Marcus Allen has #bars

I'm still astonished that it's been however many years and none of these guys has done a sexcrime yet

That's because none of them fuck

That is very wise of them.

Matt keeps his Crocs on during sex, that's some kind of crime.

lol every college team had a lame rap song back in 87/88
I remember the AZ Wildcats one because Steve Kerr had the bar: "Give Kerr the ball, Give Kerr a hand/I'll drill it in from 3 point land"

Are we ever going to talk about the worst thing Chapo does, adding an "n" to the word bodega

Bone-dega? Bodenga? Bodegan? I don't even know how that would work. (And I'm not gonna listen to find out.)

That's just Felix's abject hatred of New York

(if Bernie doesn't make it, he's totally quitting the show)

bodenga

lol I've noticed that before, so weird

bodenga

jesus christ

He does it as a bit to make fun of... people like Will.

hate to be a chapo explainer but they're making fun of new yorkers

I get it now ha ha

my mind is blown

anyway this latest non-live ep feels like their most clear-eyed and energetic in a while. matt's election analysis while not earth-shatteringly original seems broadly correct.

since many here consider DP to be a dirtbag

Recorded 24 hours ago. Get it while it's still semi-fresh, before the DNC snaps the progressive neck once and for all. https://t.co/T7Zt4abVkR

— Dennis Perrin (@DennisThePerrin) March 9, 2020

some kind of bag

the windbag left

many people are saying, more and more, that DP...

many people also consider Dennis Perrin to be:

one of the best songs on Mr. Bungle's California
Tove Lo (from Stockholm, Sweden)
an opinion about the new Califone album
a hand-washing song (20 seconds of music)
one of the ways Robert Plant pronounces the word "Darlene"

They're going to do two full hours on Warren staffers getting Holocaust tattoos.

Pretty sure the podcast is going to be dedicated to talking shit about Warren for the next 4 years
