No... we want to get away from this crap, not get drawn in further.

Weird that Israel is on board.

It's not weird at all. It will be American soldiers who get attacked and not the IDF. They get what they want without assuming the risk

American $$$$$$$ American lives. For a fricking sand war that will never end. NOT A FAN OF THIS BS AND WHY I TOLD EVERYONE NOT TO SIGN UP FOR THE MILITARY EVEN UNDER TRUMP.

but i thought he was the most peaceful president ever

This is dumb

We were on such a winning train until this move. Why put American lives at risk in a place full of wild muslim terrorists.

You are a scared and weak cuck.

We will bomb the crap out of Gaza and take all their resources and women and be richer and stronger than ever

surely the average joe will get richer

Can't say that I'm on board with this idea. What happened to America First?

This is America First. You're just not smart enough to understand how.

Why? What use is that shithole to us? What use are those shithole people to us? Frick that noise, let Israel deal with their own problem using their own money.

Trump tower Gaza

Lots of sleeper accounts with little to no post history yelling the loudest about this right now.

everyone i don't like is a bot

This is a brilliant decision. I know we don't want to get involved but what this is doing is daring the terrorists to frick with us. If they do anything now in the Gaza Strip we can bomb the shit out of them because we can say Iran and all those other idiots declared war on the United States.

It'll make the Democrats side with Muslim extremists and Iran and further expose them.

Which will convert Jews in the US to the Republican Party.

It will kill all Democrat fund raising except in Portland, San Francisco, and other Blue shitholes.

If us doing the peacekeeping works, congrats we've also ended all war in the Middle East.

If they attack us, we get to forcefully end the wars in the Middle East.

I don't like putting our soldiers in harm's way but this truly is the strongest deterrent to unchecked mayhem.

Everything good he's done so far has just been overshadowed by this FRICKING R-SLURRED move. What the frick is this?

You were fired multiple times? What were the 'bizarre' reasons given?

https://old.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/1iikdzp/my_sister_had_me_diagnosed_with_schizophrenia_to/mb6cbo8/?context=8

To begin with, how did your sister manage to "plant" symptoms from a direct examination by a psychiatrist? She didn't. You were diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Also there is not a single logical tie-in for any of your allegations.

This post looks a lot like paranoia. A common symptom. You should take your medication.

This is exactly how psychiatric abuse works. It doesn't require someone to 'plant' symptoms—it just requires someone with influence to frame a narrative. If a family member pushes hard enough, calls the right doctors, and ensures that all reports are written from a certain perspective, the diagnosis follows.

Psychiatrists don't diagnose in a vacuum. They rely on patient history, collateral information, and family reports. If that information is manipulated before I even walk into the room, the outcome is already decided.

And conveniently, once the diagnosis is assigned, any attempt to fight back is reframed as 'paranoia' or 'lack of insight.' That's the entire point of how this works. [OP] [-120]

https://old.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyChest/comments/1iikdzp/my_sister_had_me_diagnosed_with_schizophrenia_to/mb6g72n/?context=8

Well to be honest, you sound kind of paranoid here.

Why would your sister need you to receive a psychiatric diagnosis to get engaged?

Having a mentally ill primary relative isn't usually the kind of thing that brings rich boys crawling in.

Edit: I regret interacting with OP and I suggest no one else make my mistake. This is a dumpster fire now.

It wasn't really about making me mentally ill, it was about making sure no one would believe me. If I ever spoke out about what happened, the schizophrenia label would discredit everything I said. Wealthy and powerful families don't just want a perfect image. they want control over the entire narrative. My sister had to prove she could eliminate problems without making a scene. I was scapegoated as the problem. [OP] [-373]

Waking up one day and thinking everyone is treating you differently is almost certainly an early indicator of a problem

If this were just a feeling, I might question it too. But I have text messages, emails, and documentation showing the pattern of job terminations, sudden shifts in how people treated me, and even direct statements from those involved. This wasn't a vague feeling. it was a deliberate, trackable campaign. It's easy to dismiss something when you don't have the full picture. [OP] [-217]

Why did she need to do this to you to be engaged?

in their world, image is everything. i didn't fit the narrative they wanted. my sister always tried to compete with me and make herself seem like the better child my entire life. it wasn't just about getting engaged, it was about proving she was worthy of that level of wealth and power. I was in the way. [OP] [-84]

…sure. Because this makes you look totally stable and not paranoid

yes, because nothing says normal like a family pushing a false psychiatric diagnosis to erase someone from their life. if questioning that makes me look paranoid, then maybe we should look into why paranoia is used so often to silence people who see through the system [-52]

Most Based Comments

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔘🔘

it's amazing how people will shill terrible design choices like this, and then project that you are being a special snowflake for wanting beauty and consistency in your art. (86)

What makes it a terrible design choice. Women who are mma fighters look like this and she is supposed to be a badass so why wouldn't she look like this. Also it's fiction and the way they look is constantly changing why would you compare for just her when the Witcher himself has changed drastically over the games (-25)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔘🔘

Still ignoring my point of Geralt being 100 years old but doesn't look like his facial features have changed (besides the hair) yet Ciri is the exception I suppose? (6)

Have you seen what Geralt looked like in Witcher 1? His face changes every game 🤣 (-6)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔘🔘

I think people are getting way too caught up with small differences in a cinematic trailer. Geralt looked different in TW3 cinematic trailers. Heck, he looked extremely different on a game to game basis...https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fb6v7kyeebl6e1.pnghttps://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fciri-from-the-witcher-4-reveal-trailer-v0-pj8n7j3gml6e1.png%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D6d144b369afc36a63315b8d8291a26534520c22aFrom other angles, she looks pretty darn similar to me...like you can't tell me she doesn't look like herself in these shots. People are hyper focusing on some weird shots that were meant to be high fidelity but ended up uncanny, and proceeding to catastrophize.Game is years away and CDPR probably didn't even make this trailer. Calm your tits. (39)

People getting hung up on bullshit like cheekbones.The core issue is that a bunch of dudes don't necessarily want to roleplay as a woman. I don't think there's anything toxic about that.Action movies' and video games' main customer is dudes. It can work ... but it's a risky move to create a video game and/or action movie that doesn't cater to your main customer base. If design decision 1 is "let's make it harder for our our primary customer base to engage with our main protagonist", it may be worth considering if that decision is worth the risk. (-8)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

That's not lying. That is not by any means what lying is, nor am I lying. If you want a breakdown of the witcher series I can not tell you much besides It started as a book series, then it got taken in for games, and the games went like this1 was good2 was considered bad3 at launch was mixed but after a few patches to fix some issues people had it overall became the best one.The first 3 games lead into geralts full conclusion with ciri being established as a possible follow up to geralt.Comes witcher 4 which was now announced, and ciri is older. Witcher fans KNEW ciri had potential to be the new lead and she became all powerful with her magic. Now she is a supposed witcher and everyone wants to know how. And people are having mixed feelings on her looks, but not really cause this is the first time I have seen this sentiment show up.We been past that topic man, you seem a little lost. Want to sit down and talk slower about it?Edit: it is very abundant you are a troll or someone who i... (2)

How to lie with statistics. Using misleading data sets is one of the first methods.Oh so you don't actually know? How unexpected.I can vouch for the fact that I think her looks are fine. The assertion they "uglified" her is absurd and can be tossed out of hand for its absolute absurdity. I suspect those goofballs are only being used as a weak man (strawman's little cousin) as attempt to cover up the real gripe ... guys don't choose to roll female characters when they have the option not to. Stands to reason they might not buy the game because it's not an option.But you still haven't explained it to me. So I'll keep asking until you do. Why does not preferring to roll a female character in an RPG indicate a lack of empathy?I am not trolling at all. I'm having an open/transparent discussion. I'm merely pointing out all the dishonest accusations and bullshit you're trying to pin on me. There's no reason to get so upset over someone merely disagreeing with you. You stretching so hard to... (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

No one says "who cares" to someone and not expect it to be taken offensively. If you find that to be a perfectly sound, civil answer, then I must say you really are the kind of person you're being accused of being, and any further discussion with you would only serve as more evidence.So let's chat, shall we?What's your problem with her reply? Why did it upset you so?You have received exactly zero attacks before I descended upon you sword in my hand. You did dish a few out yourself, though, and plenty of accusations, especially regarding other people's presumed feelings. It seems you really do believe that your opinions are factual. So, you not only seem to lack empathy, but you also don't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed.And besides, I don't care about you enough to become upset. That doesn't mean I won't call you whatever I believe you are. For me, calling people out for their true selves and watching them writhe in refusal is a twisted form of entertainment. And you don't ... (1)

Attack my stance with dishonesty, personal attacks, and/or snippiness and I have no qualms returning the favor.There's no correlation with empathy and what kind character you prefer to roll for a RPG video game. Duh? Implying otherwise is nothing more than toxicity with intent to sow divisiveness. Ironic huh.I was accused of being weird and lacking empathy many times in this thread.That has been the core question from the start. You and the other jackasses in here have been trying to manipulate it into something else from the start. You get upset when I point out your manipulation.You seem oblivious that they do care. At the end of the day ... if this was your only gripe with my post... we would've acknowledged our difference of opinion/speculation and moved on with 0 hostility. That's how adult conversations work.This thread only got hostile once the accusations and personal attacks (toxicity, lack of empathy) were launched. (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

I'm one who probably won't buy the game on day one. I doubt I'm literally the only person on earth who feels this way. My purchase is at risk. For context ... this is one of my favorite gaming series (only 2nd behind Mass Effect) that I've played since W1 in 2007.It's anecdotal ... as someone who's played RPGs in various forms for decades, it's hard to not notice that most people roll characters of their own gender when given the option. Take away that option ... and there's a risk folks will be less inclined to buy the game.You should be aware ... saying there's a risk doesn't imply any specific outcome is inevitable. So I'm not entirely certain what you think I'm here to "prove". (1)

I mean, I won't either, but my reasoning is that I simply don't trust in any game's quality before seeing plenty of reviews from actual players. Is your reasoning primarily centered around Ciri being the protagonist? It has to, otherwise it wouldn't really serve as a point in this argument.Except that the literally don't. Girls tend to roll male character more often than you think, and it's a pretty well known mantra among guys that they'd rather watch a girl's butt for 100 hours of gameplay. You're ignoring everything but your own experience. Which makes for a rather weak argument.Fine, I'll give you a hint. Prove to me that games in the past have achieved less success for the sole reason of having a female protagonist. The important part being "for the sole reason". Failing while woman is not enough, you gotta show to me that it failed because of woman. Cause, you know, if you claim there is a risk, there must be precedent to warrant that risk. Obvious, isn't it? (1)

Not required reading but this is a follow-up to the Iskall85 Drama

https://rdrama.net/post/338283/man-gets-executed-for-flirting-with

https://rdrama.net/post/338501/quick-update-for-iskall85-controversy-marseybooba

Iskall85 is a famous Minecraft YouTuber who has been in controversy recently for daring to e-flirt with adult women in private (yes really)

For more info check the two attached threads above.

In addition to LITTERALLY raping women online, Iskall also has been developing his own Minecraft Modpack called Vault Hunters, which is apparently quite the unique and expansive modpack, which Iskall has claimed to have spent 'Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars in development'. Which is obviously funded by his and other collaborators YouTube series on the pack.

However in light of the recent controversy involving Iskall, The Lead Artist of the Vault Hunters Project "Kumara" has written a hit piece document on Iskall on the horrid working conditions they face.

IT IS 123 PAGES LONG OF UNHINGED BPD DRIBBLE

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K2zSSeaUHiKZQbpWV7kGx0uI88bPupFrqIlalaUiH3c/edit?tab=t.0

Let @BussyBoy here take you through the highlights of this hilarious novella of a mental schism

PAGE 1

So as you will soon find out, this person is a fricking nut-case and as a result has been fired from their position as "Lead Art B-word", Vault Hunters has come out and stated that she's left the project and she doesn't represent them anymore... However Kumara seems to be a bit confused here on the rights of the art assets they have made already.

Somehow this b-word thinks it's illegal to publicly say they fired her, because some art of hers is still in the game. And therefore she still "represents Vault Hunters".

Listen b-word you got commissioned to make some textures, you do not suddenly own the store.

Now I want to ask you rdrama, how would you start your hit piece on someone? Lay out the simple facts you intent to prove? A brief overview?

WRONG!!!

You need to list out your mental illnesses.

Also this one is funny, I AM LITTERALLY SHAKINGG

PAY ME 3 BILLION DOLLARS NAOW

Imagine for a second your enjoying your holiday when the ArtHoe you hired to make minecraft textures such as these:

Suddenly DM's you asking for 3000 dollars

Now rightfully I'd want to question how the art you've made has taken 300 500 hours, but whatever.

Iskall doesn't fight it or challenge the figure, instead he agrees to pay her the 3k but rightfully says that "its my fault for not agreeing a price beforehand" and that he would like to instead pay per asset in the future instead of the crystal ball of whatever the frick pricing. (obviously)

HOW DARE HE! This is manipulation !!!

Immediately after this she quotes the definition of a "micro aggression" (no im not kidding lmao)

Now Iskall and the dev team is small, after all it is a MC Modpack, and Iskall is aware of this and states it clearly.

HOWEVER....

This lady then goes on to complain that Iskall uses the word "deadline" and "return on investment" which are evil business words, what a contradiction am I right! ARE YOU A BIG BUSSINESS OR NOT ISKALL!?!!?!?!?!?!?

YOU USE WORDS LIKE.... DEADLINE and..... WORK!!?!?

She thinks this is a form of gaslamping

MORE FRICKING MONEY THE GREEDY C*NT

Iskall asks the ArtHoe to just whip together a simple pack logo as the one the currently have looks bad, For those unfamiliar with Minecraft, this is an example of what his asking for

What does art how want?

3,000 USD

I WONDER WHY!!! hahahahahahaha

Trigger Warning/ Sexual Harrsement /srs

Iskall is Swedish, English is a second language to him.

it's so abundantly clear he means kitty as in kittycat.

This is genuine insanity!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now on to the lack of getting any work done at all.

given reason... You guessed it.

BONUS ROUND

She decided to trauma dump about her abuse to her boss.

Ironically Iskall reminders her that if she feels mistreated by him to let him know.

How kind and courteous of the man... I hope you dont end up writing a 123 schizo doc on him. instead of just speaking to him.

oh wait.

I didn't realize he was... le manipulating.

I would like you to pay attention to the dates here, because currently we are at Decmember 2022

Suddenly we are jumping to AUGUST 2023, 8 MONTHS LATER!

Why?? what happened in those 8 months?

(This message is from the start of the haitus)

THEY HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN AT HAVING TO DRAW SPRITES FOR MONEY.

And during those 8 months they did no work for Iskall, only occasionally updating him on her mental situation, with Iskall kindly asking... when are you able to do work again.... (FRICKING BUTTHOLE WHAT A FRICKING B-WORD DOESNT HE CARTE WTFTYEDWBDWD AGGHHH )

Eventually Iskall stop responding to this lady, because all she would do is fricking trauma dump to this youtuber who makes Minecraft videos, and unironically has better shit to do.

I'm not going to fill your screens with screencaps of the messages, but there are pages of them. Its fricking embarrassing.

But this one is pretty funny.

Eventually Iskall 5 months into her trauma sabbatical he asks her how things are going

She responds with a photo of her, says more about thearpy,

iskall responds "aww that sucks"

and then ghosts her again.

DO YOUR FRICKING JOB HOLY SHIT!

I need to really make this clear that there are so many fricking pages of this b-word complaining about her mental problems, and how iskall tried to comfort her at first but after months of this shit gave up and started ignoring her.

In between pages of pseudointellectual psychoanalysis of Iskall's mental state on how this is abuse. I really mean it. Check this out!

ALL OF THESE MESSEGES ARE ABOUT TRAUMA WITH NO RESPONSE.

I'm starting to think Iskall does have a problem with women,

he doesn't know when to tell them to frick off.

Also quick notice that while I've been writing this document, the hit piece I'm reading from has gone from 123 pages down to 59. IN REAL TIME.

Is this a case of schizophrenia George Lucas editing, or legal threats. Who knows.

Conclusion

I have left a lot of stuff out because it either isn't funny it is purely just deranged ramblings.

But as you can imagine Iskall eventually had enough of them not doing work within deadlines, asking exorbitant prices, and spending 8 months doing nothing so eventually was removed from the project

And despite them hit peicing Iskall specifically as the lead of the project, it seems there was a mass agreement with the rest of the devs were sick of their shit.

Literally keep yourself safe foid.

ONCE AGAIN I HAVE TO REMIND YOU ALL THAT THERE ARE STRAGGOTS READING THIS THREAD THAT WOULD STILL HAVE S*X WITH WOMEN.

SMH

I 24(f) was speaking to a man for about over a week now, I've been really insecure my whole life and avoided men entirely. Only just these past few months have I started to go on dating apps and speak to guys, I've not really found anyone I've been interested in until last week. I really got along with this guy, common interests and thought I was beautiful etc. In the beginning of the convo I was very clear that I'm plus size and if he's not into that that's completely fine, and he was bigger himself and emphasised that he was completely fine with my size and attracted to me. I also said that I'm not into being fetishised, he didn't drop any hints that he was into that.

We had a date tomorrow, to get coffee together. And today, after I've done my nails and toes, took a full body shower, plucked my eyebrows, used my hair and skincare that I reserve for special occasions and I was even going to bake him some cookies to try that we spoke about. He then sent me a long message about how he's into feederism and that he understands it's not for everyone and he likes me for me not his kink etc. I feel so humiliated. I feel gross and I feel like all security and confidence I had has just been destroyed. I really thought I found someone that liked me for ME myself, not because I'm fat. I sent him a voice note saying that I was clear I'm not into his fetish, and he had the opportunity to tell me then no? But instead he's told me just before our date.

I really feel like all my trust in potential partners has completely gone. I'm a really sceptical person usually, and it took so much time for him to break down my walls all to end up doing that. I hate feeders, and I hate my body for attracting them too.

I remember when I first joined it was kind of cheeky and irreverent, and it still seemed plausible that women posted here. But it's become progressively more shallow and heartless. I mean I can't be the only one picking up on this, right? "The worst thing about DOGE is how soy it all is"? We can't just express outrage at immorality anymore, every criticism must be given through the lens of haughty indifference and framed around coolness or lack thereof. I think some people here have genuinely replaced their concept of wrong and right with cringe/not cringe and never stopped to consider how cruel and purposeless it could make them.

every criticism must be given through the lens of haughty indifference and framed around coolness or lack thereof

Quick question did you ever listen to the pod? Like even one clip or so?

People actually listen to Rspod?!

Gooooood, for the 100,000th time - this is a unique sub and one of the only decent culture/current events subs on reddit, the podcast sucks shit so most people here either never listened or stopped listening in 2019 (me). I used to like A&D but in the last five years one became a Fox News dork and the other is hawking a shit coin, they've changed. That being said, what drew me to them and this sub in the first place was their critique/thoughts on the overly woke/grifter left and establishment liberals. What I and many didn't know back in 2018 was A&D are insecure dorks who just adopt whatever ideology they currently find chic/edgy, and as soon as Bernie/progressive politics became boring they moved onto the next thing. But a lot of us here have beliefs based on morality/ethics/what we find to be true, so here we are

Tldr: "I have never and will never engage with the content this sub is about but here's how it should be run."

Anyways I thought this was a fun thread. The commenters even got OP to self delete out of shame.

Hecko!

Hello Rdrama, it's time for your Minecraft YouTuber Autism fest again!

It's always insightful to engage in a bit of market research.

I gotta know what my contemporaries are up to, my competition!

Ladies and gentlemen the Minecraft YouTuber TommyInnit.

Now I do not want to do a deep dive on who this guy is because I do not feel like writing 1000s of words today.

But the run down is this guy was some 16 year old kid (hes 21 now) who made his way to fame through the Dream SMP Live Minecraft server, which streamed to hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers.

Since then he has fallen out with the YouTuber 'Dream' and the coalition of streamers has split off into two camps. Both r-slurred but arguably the "Tommyinnit" side is worse.

I personally find this guy to be utterly obnoxious, cringe and is the very epitome of the current oversensitivity of Minecraft fans which plague my hobby and source of income.

Here is a timestamped youtube video of the kind of guy he is!

NOT THE R-SLUR!!!!!

>My mum worked with adults with disabilities

Yeah, she is your mother after all

Tommyinnit fancies himself a bit of a comedian, he does live shows where he charges $60 dollars per ticket to see him do the worse comedy routine ever.

I am utterly convinced that with no practice I could do better than him right now.

(timestamped video, watch like 30s if you can lmao)

THIS IS THE SHITNERNET

In pursuit of his comedic genius, he has started an internet show called "This is the Internet" and the target of my autism today.

I actually really like the idea and concept for the show, where he does like an episode once a month re-capping and making fun of internet trends and stories, like Norm Macdonald but for the zoomies like me!!!!

The one problem is... Is painfully fricking unfunny and bad.

The show starts ok, and I don't have much to say about the intro, other than I would of been funnier to film real homeless instead of an actor.

Then we get to the main shot of his newscaster desk and the amateurish problems become apparent immediately

See that microphone? That is not a prop, that is the actual microphone the audio is coming from, as a result you can hear every microscopic movement he makes on the desk, even movement of his hands, and as the mic has no stabilizer he bumps is constantly!!!

Like its fricking crazy, its a static shot you can just attach a boom mic, and have the desk mic for a backup. And r-slurred production plagues this 20 min video.

Watch Joke

Ok first joke of the episode he looks at his wrist even though he doesn't have a watch, something I like in premise, but I think he holds it too long and it's too obvious that it kind of breaks it.

A better example of this joke is from this timestamp from the Amazing Digital Circus

And how would you follow up this silly 1s gag of a nonexistent watch?

Oh yeah, r-slurred train noises for an excruciating 12s, where he spits everywhere.

And this is a common trend in this video is that TommyInnit does not know when to end a fricking joke.

Like this should of been cut out anyway, but if you had to include it... LIKE 1 SECOND AT MOST

Peepee Joke

Tommy mentions how Magnus Carlson was disqualified from a chess tourney for wearing jeans, which leads to a joke about how he's against wearing trousers and shows that his actually naked below the suit.

Once again, a joke which can work but it should be a more subtle visual gag.

If he had a larger newsroom set or was on location he could have two men carrying a mirror in the background somewhere, which shows his bare butt to the camera while he says something else, not drawing direct attention to it.

Maybe not even have the context of Magnus Carlson at all and just have it has an absurd background visual with no explanation.

example of this type of joke done right from Naked Gun 2 1/2

But at the moment its obnoxious, in your face and goes on way too long.

GOES ON TO LONG

Goes without saying, CUT THE JOKE SOONER HOLY SHIT!

HOLY SHIT CRINGE, I know hes a kids entertainer but god darn, this is shit you do to make your very very young toddlers laugh

Genuinely this thread is just to make you guys suffer because I had to watch this, so did you

SKIT 1

This is obviously meant to be a parody of MrBeast and Hype style Youtubers.

He's doing something lame but biggining it up as something super duper epic, except I dont think he fully commit to the bit.

• The music should be more obnoxious, like dubstep or something

• He should have like 10 camera angles of the same lame stunt

• Tons of ridiculous digital zoom ins and post production motion blur

• I would of just said random money figures randomly to take the piss out of their money obsession. (500 dollar bottle of coke wow!)

The biggest problem with the skit is pacing, I believe in a comedy rule which I came up with after watching a horrible Jim Sterling Video.,

"A joke should never take longer than 60s to setup and payoff"

And establishing the parody, the coke and Mentos and the reaction is a tall order for 60s, so in cases like this you need to make the joke evolve somehow.

Have something to break it up into pieces, by sprinkling in smaller jokes in while your building the setup.

You could make a quick jab at overuse of merchandising.

Or ridiculous product placement in the background.

Just something to tithe the viewer over until you can get to that longer punchline. And help further establish the satire element

Now too be fair Tommy mostly avoids this problem, managing to get to the Mentos part within 15s pretty efficiently.

but keep this part in mid for the proceeding....

3 MINS OF FOOTAGE

Where hes taking the piss out of the amount of replays which works, but he just keeps the joke going way way way way too fricking long without any evolution.

I seriously encourage you to watch the whole skit and just be in shock with how long it goes on for

He should of done this replay joke for 20s at most, then hard cut to him choking and almost vomiting up the coke looking and sounding ill because he deepthroated it. as the joke "evolving" by undercutting the extreme editing.

Bonus points if you then pan to a random passer-by looking confused and disgusted.

SKIT 2

I am going to skip over a lot of the other shit jokes because its very much the same of what I've already covered

This is just the peak of the amateurish filming. First off how do you mic a scene that badly wtf. Everyone's mic quality is different, did they have 1 mic between them. Legit wtf?? It sounds fricking awful.

And the video is completely fricked up. Look at this shot/reverse shot

The colours and depth of them are completely fricked up, with the tommy shot being incredibly faded out and desatured, which creates a giant disconnect when these two are supposed to be facing each other.

This is further again compounded by the bad audio difference.

Anyway what's this skit about?

5 MINS ON A POOP JOKE WTF

Again I encourage you a ton to watch and suffer through this skit, because it's so fricking bad the whole thing should just be cut.

THIS GUY CHARGES 60 DOLLARS PER TICKET TO SEE HIM LIVE!

>Side note my friends said this guy looks like me, im an austictic with face blindness, is this true?

POOP JOKES

So the premise of the skit if Jack Manifold (also a YTuber) is proposing that Tommy starts making poop content for youtube as an idea, to which they act confused, thus inadvertidly revealing he is into it.

• First off this should be filmed handhold style with lots of manual zoom in's on faces and try to emulate the style of the Office.

• Poop is such a lame unfunny thing to centre this skit around

• This is not an idea that can last 5 mins

A friend and I came up with a concept for the scene to try and make a funny skit out of it.

That instead of poop, Jack is proposing a new mascot for some merch called the "Grapist" where its the mascot of their new grape flavoured juices (you can make fun of prime)

And Tommy and the rest of the boardroom is trying to politely tell him that it sounds like r*pe, but he is oblivious.

You could do a visual joke where he shows a drawing of children sucking the grapists juice sacks, and it looks really really bad, but he just acts innocent and unaware about it.

Edgy but better that POOP FUNNY HEHE!

Serious this is negative comedy

the worse joke in the episode

I have no idea what the fricking joke is here legit.

BEST JOKE IN THE EPISODE

THIS WAS WRITTEN BY 3 PEOPLE WHAT THE FRICK

This was made by a production of a small team, which I unironically could make better by myself.

This fricker has gotten 1m views and I have no idea how anyone finds this guy funny

is this mass psychosis.

I don't think I'm an expert or a pro but holy shit.

I hate modern Minecraft YouTubers. I need to help fix the culture....

There was this !dutch violinist/ orchestra director who became famous worldwide, by having these "informal" classical music concerts/shows, where peeps in the audience would dance in the aisles, or even the musicians or André himself would walk down the aisles themselves, while celebrating famous classical music.

This was considered radical for Boomers, who found the dour and sour and uptight classical music conformity of Europe to be to too stifling. People like my parents were pretty excited to watch his shows and performances on DSTV, which had become more common in Safrica, and appreciated his musical acumen, whilst having much more lighthearted tones in his shows.

Here's a bull attacking a woman!!

He also looks like an eccentric mad-scientist nutjob with his hair!

In 2010 he had a tour in

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2086692/The-room-didnt-stop-spinning-months-Hit-crippling-ear-virus-violinist-Andre-Rieu-needed-quick-cure.html

Unfortunately his weak !dutch genes were no match for the filth and garbage of Safrica, and he got a debilitating ear infection mid tour.

DRAMA!

Drama had however occurred over time in the 2010s when André Rieu obtained the notable quirk, in that he REFUSED to speak the Colonizer language of Afrikaans!!!!

This caused a lot of seeth for Boers, who ironically made the lionshare of his fandom in the country, even beyond the large Bonglish CD-buyers in Cape Town. This social media drama has been largely purged by time and linkrot (omg this like 15 years ago ) But it was pretty big drama.

In his tours of 2010 & 2012, he had repeated numerous times that he had been disappointed in the demographics makeup of his shows, which as can be predicted, were always overwhelmingly

He was especially disappointed to find Safrican black peeps didn't really give a shit, despite his massive catering towards them in all his Safrican tours, whether in Cape Town or Suncity. Especially in his "My African Dream" shows, which he tailored to include lots of black opera singers, local black dancers, and it was still 99% mayo

https://www.news24.com/life/andre-rieu-refuses-to-speak-afrikaans-20110318

=====(from news24)

André Rieu, King of the waltz and musical hero to many South Africans, still refuses to speak a word of Afrikaans or even Dutch onstage.

Last year already many of his fans asked why Rieu did not speak a word of Afrikaans or Dutch on stage.

He has toured across the globe, always making an effort to speak at least a word of the language of the country in which he is touring.

Rieu is aware that many of his fans in South Africa are Afrikaans speaking and that they are able to understand the Dutch heard on the DVDs.

Country's demographic

When Volksblad asked Rieu in an official enquiry why he does not speak Afrikaans or Dutch onstage in South Africa, he said: "No comment."

"He wanted to make it easier for his fans to travel to the show, because not everyone will be able to travel all the way to Sun City. He also hopes to then see an audience that is a better representation of the country's demographic."

Rieu has said that he would like to see an audience that is 50% black and 50% white. Last year, he asked the Bloemfontein Children's choir to perform with him in his hometown of Maastricht in the Netherlands. His condition that the choir should consist of 50% black members, was heavily criticised.

I tried really hard to find old twitter about drama when André Rieu stated in front of his 99% mayo audience how sad and disappointed he was that so few black peeps had come to his Cape Town and Suncity shows, and with many people stating how full of shit he was, because if he wanted a primary black audience, he should have hosted a show in Soweto stadiums (he didn't cuz it was unsafe )

Like holy hells there was scores of drama - you guys don't appreciate how linkrot has culled so much drama of our forebears

Like I remember newspaper articles about the drama and events but that shit is now banished to the shadowrealm i literally cannot find anything on the face of the internet to prove what I'm recounting to you guys, it's information just gone into the ether
