My wife asked me what "GOAT" and "rizz" and "gyatt" mean last night, she said she's been seeing some of her friends say those things in group chat and has basically just been ignoring anything with zoomerspeak (she didnt know it was fricking zoomerspeak) because she didn't know what the fricking frick they were fricking saying. Having all of this knowledge imparted on me by osmosis (not usage) I had to explain the fricking intricacies of the fricking language. Anyway, I say this to highlight that I know a fricking bit of eslang and yet I have NO IDEA what the fricking frick JFL means. Please tell me

I wonder at what point it will be cheaper for Amazon to just break their five sesson contract. This show has to be a complete money sink at this point, right?

what are you talking about? Its amazon's best show rn, second only to maybe The Boys bc of the patriarchy.

It may be top but it's also insanely expensive. Who knows what the fricking ROI is. Presumably it's good considering the fricking renewal, but I'm not sure if there are fricking contractual obligations in play here that would be fricking costly to break. Amazon was fricking vaguely reported to have committed to 5 seasons in their deal with the fricking Tolkien estate, whatever that means legally.
Also, reminder that The fricking Grand Tour costs like $150 per episode and it's still BLASTING out amazon prime subscriptions nearly 10 years since it's first episode !kino

Clarkson's Farm probably has the best ROI of any TV show ever made

For streaming shit you dont really have a conventional RoI i think. You can only go by estimates of how it influences subscriptions.
And for a big name show like this, unless the reviews are absolutely devastating (and paying off critics ensures at least the "professional" reviews wont be) they will be easy to portray to the execs and shareholders as being worth the money.

It absolutely has to be burning money, but I'm seeing speculation that Amazon doesn't care about TV/movies as such - it's not a production studio, really - it's all about "take out a Prime subscription to watch this show!" and once people do that, they tend to forget to cancel it, and then use Prime to buy stuff off Amazon.
So that's how they make money - not off viewership, that can sink like a stone (that looks down to the darkness) but once people buy Prime even to watch one episode, or part of an episode, then they're on the hook for the subscription, so they decide they might as well get some use out of it, and start buying crap off Amazon.

To be fair and based

I'm only going off what I read online, so it could be completely r-slurred, but Amazon seem to be cagey about how exactly they're counting views. If you watch five minutes of the show, go "this is rubbish" and log out, that counts the same as if you watched an entire episode, or all the episodes in a season. So the "40 million views!" could be 40 million people watching part of an episode, we don't exactly know because Amazon isn't saying how it counts views.
To be fair, I am hatewatching it because I can't wait to see how stupid they go with each new episode, so I can't throw any stones.

I think it's just a Bezos vanity project. Just look at Blue Origin. He's a complete r-slur that has no issues throwing massive amounts of money and idiots at issues in the hopes that combining the two will build marvels he'll be remembered by. I don't think any numbers aside from "most watched" matter to him

I cannot see this going for five seasons. I think they got the third season in order to wrap it all up. Of course, I could be stupid and Bezos might be happy to keep throwing money at this show as a loss-leader for gaining Prime subscriptions.
But I genuinely can't see how they are going to wring five seasons' worth of content out of what they have. Maybe if they make the third season all about the fall of Numenor, but then that leaves the Harfoots and Stoors and Not-Gandalf and the Elves all standing around doing nothing for an entire season.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or just have no idea who I am, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. In addition to almost 7 years as a confessed meme addict, I have moderated the largest meme forum on the Internet (at over 2 million subscribers) for over a year. You think I don't know memes? In that time I have removed over 400posts for not following subreddit guidelines. In addition to my moderation responsibilities I am one of the most active writers on knowyourmeme.com. You think I don't know memes? Then how do I write articles about them on a site called knowyourmeme? Several mainstream blogs have contacted me to ask about the recent meme phenomenon and each has been thankful and enlightened with what I had to tell them. It's not just limited to blogs though. Several companies have asked me to review their meme ads to avoid a failure like Toyota's meme commercial. Just last week a major food company contacted me with a paid offer to help them on a new ad campaign. I declined when I researched the company and saw that they had contributed money to socially conservative groups. It's safe to say that I am one of the world's foremost experts on memes and in fact there is no one I can think of that has a meme resume as impressive as mine. So please tell me, what are your qualifications to say that I don't know what a meme is?
