Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

yeah I couldn't get very far into that one

yeah i wasn’t particularly taken with it either

is there a decent uk-based dirtbag politics podcast out there? i’ve tried reel politik a couple of times and find the hosts super-irritating :(

Idea of a UK chapo reminds me a bit of that philosophers stone of british tv execs in the 90s, a British Simpsons.

which we got, in the form of the peerless 2.4 children

how can there be .4 of a child lol

there is an ok one that got hounded in the press a bit, lemme see if I can remember it

That's reel politik isn't it?

how can there be .4 of a child lol

Yes, it's Reel Politik I was thinking of.

British Simpsons was Stressed Eric

Preferred Rex the Runt

edgy

pls, pls, pls can cum town start calling itself something else so I can begin contemplating engaging with it

Less bothered about the hosts than the editor putting bits of EVERY SINGLE THING THEY REFERENCE in, makes it borderline unlistenable.

jesus that backpack
i cannot believe ppl on here defend that trash

that's pretty much just whiney

the name is the least objectionable element of cum town

I'm not defending it, but I'm also not lining up to call an adjacent podcast indefensible

the little cum town i listened to i genuinely found parts of it completely hilarious but the surfeit of ethnic voices, stuff about "retarded people", calling adam gay, and a whole other variety of transgressive bullshit was just waaaay too much for me to handle

surfeit of ethnic voices

um maybe it's their turn to speak?? getta load of this white guy needs all the air over here

Um

Never mind

Lol wut? I assumed jim meant the hosts doing wacky ethnic voices

hey now

lmao

Pretty funny from sleepingbag who says conservatives can't do comedy

Jeet Heer recommends the most problematic chapo for an NYT op-ed slot

Nyt gonna sign up angela nagle just 2 clown

can't have new york times without NORMIES

lol that actually works

at all levels mantappingtemple.gif

Just let the cum town folks write crossword
Next logical step after maddow did it

Will taking his turn at whining about the fans today.

huh?

When I read any of the comments on the Chapo subreddit ... pic.twitter.com/jUhyuuNE92

Tbf, that’s the subreddit, where even fans on the DBHQ Discord refuse to go.

I lurk there because it's a decent link aggregator, I don't see that much discussion of the podcast at all much less the obsession Amber and Will assume.

oh it's there

mostly in the comments of the links to the episodes themselves

couldn't help noticing my sweet boy felix was locked out of the 'grownups talk politics' section of the latest episode again

mind you once they let him back in again he sure doubled down on obscure rappers and hideo kojima references

i just noticed a new episode of scumbag pop up on my phone, i dunno if he's on it or not yet but there's that

would totally listen to a chapo trap assisted living facility w/ Dad Menaker, Billy Corbett, and Richard Wolff

but i really came to post this

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

Latest Scumbag is Zitron talking to Vincent D’Onofrio

How many people here are actually on DBHQ? I’m on there in a decidedly non-lurker fashion

I don't even know what that is!

based that clip alone [not even judging their name] i can't imagine being a person who listens to cum town

it takes all kinds

yeah apparently it takes dumb assholes too

absolutely
