read most of it, it seems like their feelings got hurt

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.

didn't get past the opening line of the dailycaller thing tbh

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.

Treeship, Saturday, 10 December 2016 04:33 (seven years ago) link

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

Treeship, Saturday, 10 December 2016 04:34 (seven years ago) link

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)

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 10 December 2016 04:44 (seven years ago) link

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

Comments on that Daily Caller piece making a strong case that MDE fans aren't psychotic bigots.

Mordy, Saturday, 10 December 2016 13:35 (seven years ago) link

Fuck this show is terrible and hateful - wish I never checked it out

Everything Moves Towards The Sun (Ross), Saturday, 10 December 2016 17:28 (seven years ago) link

hey maybe Sam Hyde and his cadre of unfunny assholes should you now pull themselves up by their bootstraps and start their own channel. that is if they're not too busy ((()))-ifying everyone or pissing on the graves of dead children at Sandy Hook.

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)?

flappy bird, Saturday, 10 December 2016 18:04 (seven years ago) link

absolutely baffling why there aren't more conservative counterpoint shows not riddled with racism, homophobia and misogyny

can only imagine how hard it must be in suburban Massachusetts cut off from all knowledge of what's been happening in the world for the last 200 fucking years

A pass to what?

/These guys are from suburban MA. Of course they're not going to understand BLM./

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.

flappy bird, Saturday, 10 December 2016 18:21 (seven years ago) link

what is high-value racism

Personally I don't know any African Americans, that must explain why I hate BLM so much.

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.

flappy bird, Saturday, 10 December 2016 18:25 (seven years ago) link

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

flappy bird, Saturday, 10 December 2016 18:27 (seven years ago) link

yeah come on guys, they're 80 proof, 90 proof poison at most. it's probably not as bad for you as drinking bleach!

increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Saturday, 10 December 2016 18:27 (seven years ago) link

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.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 10 December 2016 18:29 (seven years ago) link

late to the game but hyde apparently retweets pizzagate shit so fuck him eternally he's foul human garbage just like the rest of this entitled racist subculture

geometry-stabilized craft (art), Saturday, 10 December 2016 20:06 (seven years ago) link

flappy bird, that show was extraordinarily wicked and vile. its "satire" was actively mean spirited, "skewering," for instance, women who have high expectations from relationships. stop being stupid.

Treeship, Saturday, 10 December 2016 20:21 (seven years ago) link

watched the Wmburg street fashion ep on youtube. sorry guys not trying to be a PC cuck or anything but i honestly don't "get" it. Dice Clay is funnier than this shit

Man. I don't want to look shame or whatever but this Hyde guy looks like the type of person I'd go to great lengths to avoid talking to.

rudy githyanki (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 10 December 2016 20:48 (seven years ago) link

the overall dark, menacing vibe of the show is truly weird

Treeship, Saturday, 10 December 2016 20:50 (seven years ago) link

i guess it's like a tim and eric thing? maybe racists think uncanny discomfort is the same as humor

Eric Andre is Jewish, would be one difference.

Full disclosure I admit I lol'd at some of their sketches and I think there was something genuinely new/interesting about their thing but I'm not going to lose any sleep over racist antisemitic whiners losing their adult swim show.

Mordy, Saturday, 10 December 2016 21:18 (seven years ago) link

can't believe

banfred bann (wins), Saturday, 10 December 2016 21:18 (seven years ago) link

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

Lots of people think this tbf, there's a case for it being humour-adjacent at the very least

banfred bann (wins), Sunday, 11 December 2016 14:23 (seven years ago) link

Amusing myself with the thought of how this might have gone down were flappy bird still posting as 'spazzmatazz'

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.

Sciencefictionfantasyland's worst person objects to being called a neo-nazi.

Other unpleasant righty things I saw recently..

Was looking on one of the porntube type sites and saw there was an agressive blowjob clip compilation called Trump For President and a racial humiliation video in which people wave around confederate flags.

Some fantasy fan in a comments section blaming diversity and political correctness for destroying the paperback industry.
