Well this was pretty disappointing. Not a single memorable bit or crowd work. Kind of funny delivery. If I wanted to introduce a friend to Stav's comedy I wouldn't feel comfortable showing them this.
Well this was pretty disappointing. Not a single memorable bit or crowd work. Kind of funny delivery.
I showed a normie friend cumtown and a few months later he said his favorite was stav.
I don't get his appeal but current year nick /adam are so drained of all energy they aren't any better. I miss the good days.
been meaning to go back to the beginning of both feeds and listen to the old stuff again.
The reason Cumtown used to be so good is because they used to blast cocaine constantly between 2016-2020 and it fueled a lot of the comedy. They had to stop once covid hit cause obviously they couldn't buy coke from anyone and thats where the show started to fall apart. Seems like they realized that only liked to be around each other to do drugs and once that stopped they realized that they didn't really like each other that much. You can hear in some of the earlier eps how Stav would get pissed at Nick for bringing up his weight, so there was tension there already as it was.
Even the early episodes of tafs before the set was built were good though. The 1 with shane gillis when they talk about the hindenberg was one of my favorite episodes. As soon as the set was made nick just sort of gave up
Yeah idk wtf happened to my boy Nick but he seems on the edge of suicide lately. It could be anything really. Jealousy of Stav working so hard and doing better than him despite years of telling him he was a worthless lardass. Years of alcoholism and drug use catching up to him, and he also stopped working out and looks frail as shit now. 2016 cokehead bodybuilder Nick was the best, he was so fricking funny and now he looks like he's one bad day away from hanging himself.
>Jealousy of Stav working so hard and doing better than him despite years of telling him he was a worthless lardass.
He never told Stav he was worthless. He said he was going to die young if he didn't start taking care of himself and he'll be proven right.
haha bro have you listened to cumtown? He called stav a moron constantly and told he he couldn't do the simplest shit. I know the clip you're talking about but its definitely not the only time he talked shit on the show
There was an episode where Nick replaced Stav with a soundboard while he was on vacation and him and Adam spent the whole episode dicking on Stav saying that they basically didn't need him anymore lmao
they were right, what does he do besides laugh obnoxiously and try to build off of what Nick says? he just runs any bit they do into the ground and ends it with "hell yeah, brother"
He hypes nick up by making him feel funny. There's a reason they still use laugh tracks to this day. It works. I don't care what pretentious idea you have about laugh tracks. I'm talking about in general.
He is a dry drunk. All he wants to do is get fricked up and he hates being sober.
He made pretty clear in 1 episode when he described "having fun" now is boring because he compares it to the nights he would rail coke all night.
He really needs another manic episode but in order for that he needs a goal to achieve. Before it was building the set, now he just fills up 2 hours on camera to appease his paypigs
Some of the funniest bits where him talking about his days as a call center guy when he was still an alcoholic. Nick just needs to get autistic about some new drug and he could totally be funny again. Someone needs to introduce him to Kratom or get him an Adderall script or something. Him being sober and just doing woodworking all the time is turning him into a boring ass grilling Dad
>introduce him to Kratom
They advertised a kratom site for years.
no one cool does kratom.
Can confirm. I do kratom.
You're all basically saying it but missing the point. He's less funny now not cause he's depressed, but becaused he's happy. Rather he's content. He's calm. At peace. He achieved what he wanted and can relax now. Yes he's becoming a boring carpenter dad, but that's because he's finally serene where he wants to be and isn't in a manic state to get somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up finding someone and semi-retiring from the spotlight in the next few years
This is why we need to get their Patreon banned and get him depressed again
Nah he's hinted a few times at this point that he would prefer to have some semblance of a family home life. He fricked that up with his racist jokes. The only kind of woman that would take him would be some fugly b***h like jordan. But there are worst fates.
>he would prefer to have some semblance of a family home life. He fricked that up with his racist jokes
What a moronic take.
He literally has talked about relationships failing because of his jokes. In his own special he talks about getting abortions because she didn't want a racist podcast baby.
>IT'S JUST A LE JOKE XD
All jokes have a kernel of truth. Now get mad
Anon, he is such a pussy that he can't even say the word "Black person" cause he thinks that's too offensive.
If you think a rich new yorker can't get a woman cause his jokes are just too edgy, then you're out of touch. Fricking serial killers get married in prison.
why would he even stay in new york the way that he looks, his competition in south carolina would be guys like him and not swole banker gigachad.
there's a whole subsect of trashy brooklyn women who like dirty hobo types who have some money
disregard i thought you were talking about the fat boy
your brain is fried
Don't be mad that even what he says proves you wrong. Dumb frickin troony lmao
well if im a troony, nick mullen certainly likes me more than you
He was funny on tim dillons show last week. Something about being on the tafs set makes him miserable
wish he would go on Matt and Shane to promote it but I doubt he'll fly out to Austin for it
He might be fricked up on finasteride
>nick 2018 hairline
>nick 2023 hairline
He definitely did something and he mentioned minoxidil + microneedling knowledge at one point.
i think TAFS is a lot work than he expected
he became a millionaire talking with his friends in an apartment, now hes producing something of (comparable) substance and everyone is saying how boring and gay it is compared to cumtown
>he became a millionaire talking with his friends in an apartment, now hes producing something of (comparable) substance and everyone is saying how boring and gay it is compared to cumtown
He's basically in his Demo Reel era
Nick’s been suicidal for 10 years
it's part of his gimmick
Hopefully he'll go through with it, but these types are just attention prostitutes, covert narcissists, they never kill themselves.
Breh if i was doing coke during covid theres no way they couldnt get their hands on it
Wasn't most coke since covid been mostly fentanyl laced shit that can kill a horse? Idk I don't do drugs just wondering
>They had to stop once covid hit cause obviously they couldn't buy coke from anyone
Adam and Nick seem to genuinely be friends but I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the case with them and Stav
why because stav gets mad at nick?
They said adter the first year of the pod, Stav never hung out with them outside if the show. I think he also wanted them to record like 4 rpisodes a day so that they'd only have to record once a month.
maybe he was just busier.
They are all opportunist leftie wankers, of course they'll drop each other when Amazon honks outside of their house.
i thought they stopped because nick had an incident with his heart and now he's a low-energy vegan or some shit like that
Cumtown was never good. Everyone ITT except me is gay.
ok but what if everyone ITT was gay and moronic
haha but seriously black lives matter
Trumpgays vote against their own economic interests
t. bidenomics
Still fighting Trumpflation from 2020
>t. politically moronic
caring and knowing about politics is gay. but you are a cumtown fan, thats what we all expect
What were they buying their coke from 40 year old wine mom biden-diehards? I had no problem getting blow during Covid
>wtf why didnt he say nick was his favorite? youre supposed to like nick the most!!
Yes. I don't find stav funny in the slighest. He hasn't made me laugh a single time besides when he was a moron that didn't understand forest gump
Off the top of my head there’s thousand island stare and also he was good participant in the “fat guy hiding chocolate in his pants”
Not super clever though
Stav's laughtrack and presence definitely helped Nick's riffing
>I showed a normie friend cumtown
You are the normie, Hillary.
I have a normie friend who also listened to CumTown and really likes Stav specifically.
The "look at me I'm gross looking" thing always felt like a cope to me. I feel like Sam Hyde does something similar but not as blatant or far as Stav.
It feels like he's afraid to try to not make himself look gross, because if he tried he could fail, so instead he just goes "look guys! I'm not trying so it's not bad or embarrassing that I'm gross! haha!"
This is really exposed when Nick pressed him about being fat that one time and he immediately flipped out.
It felt like he'd interrupt with stupid stuff too often and break the flow.
I also don't get why he quit the free money minimum effort podcast. So he could make it big or something? I feel like still being on the podcast would have helped him in that regard. Instead, he dropped off the face of the earth, and obviously, not every cumtown viewer is going to follow him or ever hear from him again now.
>The "look at me I'm gross looking" thing always felt like a cope to me. I feel like Sam Hyde does something similar but not as blatant or far as Stav.
>It feels like he's afraid to try to not make himself look gross, because if he tried he could fail, so instead he just goes "look guys! I'm not trying so it's not bad or embarrassing that I'm gross! haha!"
True, that's the inevitable outcome of being too ironic. You can't be honest with anyone and it ends up restricting you too much
Plainly the case. Nick was 100% right when he said that Stav will never get in shape.
Stav's special was generally good with no great peaks nor deep valleys. Nick's special had higher peaks but for moments was kinda boring. I was surprised and underwhelmed when he watered down his views for the special, so I checked out in some places. I'd say that Nick won, the old guard (CK follows him and Burr shared a clip from his special and a bit from TAFS) respects Nick a lot more than Stav.
I used to laugh when people started saying irony poisoning is real. But it's very real and can be harmful
All three of them are sore winners
agreed. pretty basic stuff. which I guess means he'll crush on Netflix with wine moms. On some of the early, early days of cumtown like 2016/2017 he was very good and was more than just a laugh-track.
For a lot of the bits he was very good at egging nick on and getting the best out of him. I still hate his guts but he did help the comedy of cumtown.
We would never have andre's steakhouse without stav walking nick through his own bit
>I still hate his guts
Why? You will never meet this person and he will never care about you. It's the same thing as hating Nick. What's even the point?
I don't like him as a person. I don't lose sleep over it but if there is a cumtown thread up im going to use it to shit on his fat ass. He would get overly butthurt over any random political thing and have the worst takes that weren't comedy
He would also often derail a good bit that Nick was doing.
>I don't lose sleep over it
Then you don't "hate his guts". Not everything has to be hyperbolic you troony
>Not everything has to be hyperbolic you troony
Take your own advice, moron.
I didn't say I hate his guts, you replied to wrong person. I met him in a meet and greet in philly after his show a few years ago and got a pic. He was cool and his crowd work was great.
nick won
Nick didn't even get a million on his special. Stav got 4 million in like a week somehow (plublicist pushed his shit hard).
Stav also toured for like 9 months straight constantly and promoted the shit out of his special
Nick did none of that, he went on Tim Dillon's podcast to promote it and that's literally it, and how many people watching Tim Dillon weren't already going to watch that special? How many new people did he reach with that one? like 50?
my wife watched something nick posted prior and said he tried to get the word out on some other shows and Tim Dillon was all he could get because of how many bridges he's burned. Apparently he tried.
He just doesn't like kissing ass and I don't blame him. When someone is being stupid why not just call them on it. The only reason shane and tim are cool with him is because he doesn't have much to criticize. They can actually be funny.
also nick is either borderline autistic or at least has some form of social anxiety and overthinks everything meanwhile stav is confident and gives no fricks.
nick gets bored in regular conversation and uses roast comedy as a way to amp it up
bill burr does the same
problem is sometimes that missfires and causes real tension
this. nick ruining that one ep by calling out stav's health was probly one of the most awkward fights ive ever heard, especially since it was LIVE.
I think he has some sort of mood disorder but has gotten really well at hiding it/functioning despite of it
stav pays for views. All his buzz was entirely astroturfed
is it true that they hate each other now?
stavros was on JRE to promote his special the day before
Nick did reach nearly a million with very little advertising but his special was pretty shit, the guys just not good at standup he has a particular style of humor that really only works online, the only time the special even started to get good was near the end when he just started doing cumtown bits and even that was lacking since there was no one for him to bounce off of, he said it himself a few years ago but standup is a shit format when you can just go on twitter or start a podcast and just blurt out random stream of conscious shit get the laughs you want then move on
Ethnomasochism isn't funny.
HEY I AM FAT AND UGLY AS FRICK AND STILL HAVE SEX HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
dont forget the leftist twitter takes he throws in there so you know he's not too edgy
you're right, right wingers are the true edgelords
woah hey chinese morons but believe all women, chud
proving my point
>expecting crowd work in a special
Stav is winning
His publishist/pr guy is pulling a bunch of strings to get his name out there. Netflix, Rogan, interfacing with a lot of venues.
I love Nick but he's pretty much given up. He's lost his spark and Adam is too low energy to be of any help
I think Nick is the exact level of famous that he wants to be. He has a sort of autistic set of principles and is probably concerned about the idea of selling out or some shit.
>is probably concerned about the idea of selling out
I don't get the objection to selling out. If you don't someone else will. And you're pretty much guaranteed to fade into obscurity if you don't. Cash out and make peace with it
worrying too much about the audience in his head judging him.
He is too autist to contradict himself after bashing people about selling out or being a hack. I assume that he does not want Cumtown to be a lightning in a bottle and wants to create a new thing that will be celebrated heavily at least some of the people.
That's the danger of detached irony
What do you mean? Do you mean that he did frick himself by hiding his depression or any other problem with being carefree and joking all the time about everything? Almost all of the anons are doing ironic detachment. Are we not?
get off nick's dick
Loser
You are on Cinemaphile dude. You are as loser as me. Let's be in peace with our loserness.
You're more of a loser than me
Do not try get one up man. We are all losers and I understand your anger. It was not your fault.
NTA, but I want it to be my fault. I want the illusion of control, thanks
No
>We are all losers
I have a family, actual job and I don't any meds for muh depression or any other made up zoomer moronation.
I hang out here because everywhere else people like Cumtown dicksuckers turned into censored hugboxes.
yeah cum town fans notoriously turn places into censored hugboxes. fricking moron
You definitely have problems. If you have a wife and still hanging out here, it is evident that your wife is sexually reluctant.
sex is like 30 seconds per day, i have to fill the rest of hours with something
Well you absolutely have a problem, premature ejaculation.
I’ve been coming here since I was 22. Im 39. I have a wife, house, and job.
Nick blacklisted himself I dont know if netflix or the mainstream will take him in
perhaps more pandering to the ltbg and blm
>Nick blacklisted himself
Good god, you homos really believe this, don't you. Just to feel like little rebels. Patreon straight up refused to do anything about cumtroons when they were purging the entire platform of muh hate speech.
patreon is just cool and edgy as well
>Patreon straight up refused to do anything about cumtroons when they were purging the entire platform of muh hate speech.
Patreon prevented them from showing up in search, dumbass
wow they totally kicked those guys off it's totally the same kek moron
you morons are complaining that a corporation didn't fully deplatform. such whiny homosexuals jesus christ
they're not the comedy saving edgy rebels you think they are, pedro
never said they were, virgin. you're just being a little b***h who's calling for censorship of a podcast because you don't agree with their politics. hypocritical pussy
I never called for censorship. Learn how to read english, esl
you're certainly b***hing that they weren't deplatformed by patreon
no im not, manuel
>le heckin' esl XD
>calling for censorship
Telling you to take your 'edgy' surrogate uncles back to reddıt where they came from and where they belong is not censorship.
never once said that, edgelord
wow you actually cant read
feel free to quote yourself homosexual
>edgelord
more redditspeak. you're fooling no one you know. go ahead and deny you're a redditor you stupid homosexual. i want you to consciously lie to yourself for my amusement. deny you're a redditor you stupid b***h. lie to yourself
you fricking homosexual
>seething this hard
lol
is that all you got, npc? deny it, deny you're from reddit. lie to yourself
>unironically calling someone an npc
>continuing to seethe
He seethes less than Mullen when someone does hecking transphoberino in front of him.
have you ever had an original thought. that's a rhetorical question, you're a cucktown listener
>have you ever had an original thought
>t. guy saying "npc" and crying about le reddit
>a corporation didn't fully deplatform
Yes, because cumtroons and their simps are useful for them.
>Patreon prevented them from showing up in search, dumbass
>muh N-word is ALWAYS hate speech regardless of who said it and in what context, even off platform that's why we banned dozens of people
>what about Cumtown
>muh N-word is contextual you fricking chud how very dare you
So organic and underground.
Stav is absolutely not winning. Stav is propped up by his publicist but all the attention he was getting just a year ago is completely gone now. His netflix special is a complete failure with Matt Riffes special sucking up all the oxygen out of the room. Stav is a case study on how you can't astroturf an unfunny comic
then show his youtube special instead
just advertise ethan klein and hasan at this point. this place is shit
He's the most shameless race grifter I've ever seen. He didn't even do it for money he would just do it to make himself not feel like a terrible person after saying the most terrible shit for an hour.
>ayyee little kids buttholes
>ayyye rape amirite
>aye what if everything was made of dicks
>seriously though guys, racists are buttholes
another cucktown shill thread. once again these unfunny leftist homosexuals will never be a thing here. don't care how much you pay off the mods to have your protected queermo threads. no one cares
It's not a surprise but apparently Nick is gay for real, its kind of funny how he's so in the closet that he basically isn't.
How many times have they made the joke that Nick literally is gay but then because they all laugh when they do it, everyone just assumes its jokes.
I feel him though, i got molested too so I'm not straight, but i can't call myself gay either, just sexually fricked.
Cumtown fans are so cringe, unfunny, and lame.
Because he’s just an edgy failed normie loser, like all his fans.
>i got molested too so I'm not straight, but i can't call myself gay either, just sexually fricked
literally me
i watched Mysterious Skin and both of the main characters were literally me. shut in autist who jumps headfirst into hobbies and cannot stand human touch and other times ultra sexual but can only get off on being degraded but i actually hate it and dont enjoy it at all, but thats the part i get off on
So you're gay. That's like nickodo avocado isn't gay because he just likes the humiliation. It's still gay dude.
Nah you're just a gay and you'll die a gay.
I just watched JRE and he had Rogan riffing back and forth with him, imagine that, Rogan doing spontaneous humor, that's quite a talent he has for being a sounding board.
Stav's the reason Cumtown worked at all. Bless him, I will never be a hater, the dude brought all the energy to the pod.
>crowd work
it's just smart. no need to think many funny jokes, just let the crowd do the work for you.
>HEY DUDE WHAT DO YOU DO
>generic job
>OH SO YOU GET NO PUSSY HUH? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
He actually opened the special with his signature "HEHEHEHEHEHE hell yeah dude" and the crowd really went wild for that
I clapped. I clapped when he did that
>le crowd work
frick this gay method that lazy comedians use to pad time. i love it when this fat frick gets his ass railed by a response he doesn't like and resorts to shouting and ebin comebacks to drown out the audience member.
todd barry's crowdwork tour was great
how bout some suckdickwork nahahahahaha
Nick
>Todd Barry? More like... Bod Hairy, where hes got just a really hairy body, right?
Stav
>hheheehhehe. Hell yea dude his balls are just so hairy that cant even see his little ass dick.
Adam
>
More like
Adam with vocal fry
>Todd Barry who is that? He's the comedian right? Yeah he's the comedian
im pretty sure adam would do that shit for the audience's benefit in case they didnt know what they were talking about.
He always asks questions he knows the fricking answer to. I don't know why he hasn't noticed this about himself.
more like
>Adam: wha-
>Nick: oh look Adam is stealing my joke
Was the funniest show I've ever been to. He talked to me and my friend for about 10 min. I was hoping I'd be in the special. Still got a signed poster and a pic with my fav comedian.
Ill say this for Stav. He was going to be that ugly no matter what. At least becoming a comedian he earned himself lots of sexo with beautiful woman that he defintely would've never gotten otherwise.
does being crushed by 450lbs still count as sex
grim to think about how low a prostitute must be to seek this out
Idk but im gay
he really didnt look bad in college. I wanna know what happened between frat Stav to Cumtown's Stav
it was a pretty funny special
solid 8/10
Care or not, the Cumtown/Red Scare era is over. It's been over for maybe a year or two now.
They had a few years of fame between 2016 and 2020, where they were "underground" and edgy, and that gave them credibility in certain parts of the Internet. All of them failed dramatically to leverage that momentum into anything worthwhile. Nick, Adam, and Stav could have legitimately made a show together. They could have created a studio, a production company, and started producing or even licensing original material from themselves and other people. They had the reach and the popularity to do so.
The same goes for Dasha and Anna. Momentarily, they had enough influence and traction to create something new and unique. Red Scare could have been the flagship show for an underground network of similar material. There's already a bunch of podcasts, shows, and personalities who draw clear inspiration from them. If they had played their cards right, they could have created something really original and interesting. The beginning of a new media system and a new aesthetic they were already naturally positioned as the heads of. It was all right there.
This is definitely overly-optimistic, especially given the current reality. But anyone with half a brain and a year in marketing or business could have taken what they did and literally and figuratively capitalized on it, both economically and culturally. Instead of just being slowly-decaying performers, these people could have been heads of industry. It sounds ridiculous, but I believe it to be true.
Truth is, they're either not motivated enough, blinded by money and fame, or too trapped in their own ironic personas where such a move would be difficult to make without people screaming that they were betraying preconceived values.
I think in reality, they're all too concerned with being performers. They had and still have no intention of beginning an enterprise or organization which stretches beyond them. This attitude is what makes them popular in the first place---it's myopic, but oddly endearing and relatable.
It's also what makes this hard to watch. I think they're all on the backslide and they know it. You can only perform for so long before you run out of lifespan and material. You have to have something you're building towards, or else you trap yourself in a death spiral of your own making. It's not about "building a brand" or "maximizing returns". It's about being an artist or entertainer or person who has the capacity to go from being an act and a singular force, to transferring that knowledge into a structure of their own creation where what they've learned can be communicated, distributed, and put to use for those of a similar disposition. Great heroes, and great people, find a way to set up a space where they can go from being an adventurer, to a teacher. Whether it's a business, a studio, an academy, or something else, you have to find some way to put yourself in the backseat so you can help the next generation come up and succeed.
These people will probably slowly fade into obscurity. They'll always be popular for their small and dedicated fanbases, but they've missed the opportunity for now when it comes to building something larger than themselves. It's really, really sad. Again, I know this is stupidly and overly-optimistic, but they had a real shot at something larger, and they totally whiffed.
If anything, I suppose it can serve as a lesson to anyone moving forward: don't just plan to succeed for yourself. Never be content with just "getting yours". Use what you gain to help other people gain as well. It's only through such a course of action that your legacy is built, and other people can truly benefit from what you have to teach and say. They will go on to do great things, better than you most likely, and that in itself is a greater reward than any single rush from performing could ever be.
Flame.
Vlad the Impaler didn't even start impaling people until he was late 30s.
You're just a nihilist gay who has watched too much anime, "Oh you're 14 now it's too late to start over!"
It's not like they can't ever succeed again. But recapturing the kind of cultural momentum they had is going to be extremely difficult. Especially given their ages---many of them are approaching their late 30s. If they want to do something, it's kind of now or never.
ok
>hell yea dude hehehehhehehe. So true
they are morons who stumbled into fame by saying dumb shit into a mic for 2 hours a week.
>a year in marketing or business
stop being so israeli. media fricking sucks because this is what everyone else tries so hard to do. we don't need EPIC MEDIA EMPIRES, we need people who aren't homosexuals
It would just be nice to have people who know how to make something, and have a good sense of aesthetics, create a place where they can slowly challenge conventional media standards. It doesn't have to be LE EPIC MEDIA EMPIRE, it can just be a genuinely good company, made up of a group of people who work hard to create something together. Ghibli, certain eras of Disney, early HBO, and so on. I think there's a real niche there for an artist to fill.
>stumbled
Astroturfed.
>we need people who aren't homosexuals
lead the charge, queer
This will sound incredibly gay but the closest analogy I can think of is Yoda telling Luke that there is no try, only do or do not. As soon as you start trying it doesn’t work. CT and RS both worked because of specific chemistry in a very free format and it stops working the second you start producing.
That's fair. I do think it could come off as very forced.
At the same time, they're the only people in the current generational sphere with the reach and the sense of aesthetics I would trust to do it. Maybe that's expecting way too much, and I do believe their personalities wouldn't allow it. It's just unfortunate, because I could see Nick/Adam/Stav in a very "It's Always Sunny" situation, where they get to write, direct, and act in their own stuff. Only they could take it a step further, and actually produce the whole show themselves, while also bringing in members of the culture they know to keep it fresh. I seriously think, for The Adam Friedland Show, it would be awesome if they did a filmed miniature episode every couple of weeks where it's just Adam and Nick, and maybe someone else occasionally, wandering around their fictionalized version of New York and getting into shit. You could even frame it as an opener to Patreon-gated episodes.
The same goes for Anna and Dasha. I don't ever see them filming stuff, but the fact that they've never sat down and written a book together is insane to me. They're both incredibly talented, and they have a lot to say on a variety of topics. It could literally be a collection of aphorisms from the show, essays from the two of them, a script from Dasha, snapshots of the first few years of the show. A whole scrapbook of their experiences and thoughts. Corny, maybe, but if done right, it would really be a cool cultural piece to put together. They've joked before about people asking them to write a book, but I'm not asking for a "The Red Scare Girls' Guide To Being A Fricking b***h" or some crap like that. I'm asking for something genuine.
I do think, again, their personalities prevent them from doing something like this. They all seem really invested in ironic stances, and once you've made your bed there, it's difficult to leave. Plus, I get the possible cringe from attempting to make it seem like you're bigger than you really are.
I think that leap needs to be made by someone, though, and I would have preferred it to be them. Say what you want, but they seem like intelligent and savvy individuals, and I'd rather have them be the up-and-coming vanguard of a kind of culture than some of the bug-brained ghouls on Reddit, or the tech borgs who usually start this kind of stuff.
For Christ's sake, the closest the current generation has to a youth-run media company is Bar Stool, or Morning Brew. They can be fun, but they cater to specific post-college normie demographics. Where is the artistic version of that? I think it's something we desperately need.
>I'd rather have them be the up-and-coming vanguard of a kind of culture than some of the bug-brained ghouls on Reddit, or the tech borgs who usually start this kind of stuff.
Literally synonymous.
To an extent yeah, good point anon. I'd throw in the business-bro tech guys, I keep referencing Barstool in this thread, and though I don't necessarily hate their stuff, they're the kind of people I mean as well.
>dasha and ana
>youth
They are 43 years old
Yeah exactly they're not getting any younger
Also, this is more directed to when they were starting out like seven years ago.
>Dasha
is she dead yet? I'm asking the fans...
Anyone have the clip of this?
>where they were "underground" and edgy
it was always astroturf and safe
For here, yes, but here is also astroturfed, and you can tell. Compared to most normie stuff, I guarantee you Red Scare and Cumtown seem absolutely fringe.
>guarantee you Red Scare and Cumtown seem absolutely fringe
Exactly as their corpo friends intend.
Not sure what all this is supposed to be about. The idea that these people were going to ride their quarantine-era pod fame into.....well, what exactly? "starting a production company"? How the frick were any of these people gonna do that?
There was no follow-up planned for any of this stuff. I do love the idea that being 32 is some insurmountable barrier for anyone who might work in the creative world. They're not would-be Madonnas. The future for Nick, Adam, Dasha, or Anna could hold something good or something completely mundane, but Stavros netflix special is a fricking tombstone. That's where it ends for most comedians. back 2 the road
They were all popular at least two years or so before quarantine—in fact, you could argue that corona was the beginning of their collective ebb from whatever popularity they had into an era where they either declined and cancelled their shows, or attempted more and more shock-value stunts to stay relevant.
What’s more, for entertainment, they ARE old. Look at other people who are their age in entertainment, and compare the levels of success. Success isn’t a guarantee of quality, but these people are all talented and could have definitely done more. They didn’t, so it’s a moot point, and hindsight is always 20/20. Still doesn’t erase facts.
Also, starting any type of production company isn’t that hard. Literally just get cameras and some capital, which all of them have, and do it. A publishing company is even easier—you can find great no-strings-attached printers online who can put out copies of whatever you write on-demand. There is no excuse other than a lack of preparation, or motivation. These are understandable and empathetic, and I don’t hold anything against them. I’m just saying what I see and I can’t help but feel disappointed. People dream of getting to their level and making the most of the opportunity presented. Not cashing out—genuinely building something cool, and real, and meaningful.
More than anything, they’ve made their living talking about what they think is wrong in the world. But they have done nothing other than talk. You need to do more, or else you just end up looking kind of phony.
Not the guy you replied to, but I think you are being way too harsh in your judgement about where they arein their careers. Stav's special was a-ok, he will surely get another chance. I think Nick will be involved in films (I think any skit at the beggining of TAFS is funnier than most of his special) They are NOT done for, and I don't give a shit about Stav.
mullen is just gonna end up like kurt metzger
As a cokehead meerkat?
have a nice day you balding pontificating sack of shit
These are clearly observable facts. They had opportunities, and they were not taken. I have no idea why you're upset enough to reply, but not upset enough to put out a sincere or coherent response.
What about my post felt insincere or incoherent to you? And no, they're not observable facts, it's just conjecture and speculation about people whom you do not know personally. I'm not upset, just always a little weirded out when posters talk about people online with the kind of authority a psychiatrist might wield when talking about a case study they headed. Go ahead and knock yourself if that's what you enjoy doing, I'm just gonna continue calling it bullshit since that's what I see it as.
You can say that first statement about anything you read online, dude, including myself. Your first several statements were loaded with incendiary comments meant to provoke, which is fair given the site we're on, but still, don't play that shit and then try and ask, "What do you mean, I was clearly saying____."
I'm not disagreeing with you that I don't know shit about these people's psychological profiles, but if you think you can't tell at least something about someone from listening to or watching their work, I think that's a little ridiculous.
And you're right---it is conjecture and speculation, to a massive degree. That doesn't erase any potential truth in the observation. I have no idea why people are so incredibly defensive over Cumtown and Red Scare. These are genuinely some of the only podcasts I listen to, but if you can't be honest with yourself and give feedback, then what's the point of engaging with someone and their work at all? I welcome the criticism, and I hope they would too.
Nothing more annoying than seeing gays on the internet write out psych profiles on e-celebs as if they know shit about them other than what they post on social media.
>as if they know shit about them other than what they post on social media.
I do
Nick? Post foreskin
The off the cuff vibe that came with their free form bits just will not work as a produced show. They made several thousand a month each basically chatting for a few hours. The humor just wouldn't track past how they did it.
Honestly none of their stand up is good and the only reason why cumtown was funny was because they didn't have a filter.
cumtown was funny because of how low effort it was. they didnt even care about sponsors (see: the thursday boots pedophile forskin bit)
Child_Snuff won.
Tobsche lost.
hispanic thread
Can confirm I have a haunted room in my house
>EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
hell yeah dude
>Jerry! Theres a wiener in my ass, Jerry!
i dont get the joke. he says he doesnt like rap music. is the joke that he doesnt say Black person alot? i really dont get it
>is the joke that he doesnt say Black person alot?
exactly. he's telling people he isnt racist. Good boy points
Mullen's a mmmgoodboy
If this is a real question, he's baiting the audience into thinking he raps along with the songs but switches by saying he's racist
The joke’s that he doesn’t like rap so much he can’t help but say Black folk when he hears it.
I've watched both their specials, all they do is steal jokes and pepper them between " remember this from cumtown?" references, and the crowd goes insane for those. I never liked cumtown or forced edgy shit for the sake of being edgy, i'll never consider these guys real comedians, they never cut their teeth in an honest way with crowds who never knew who they were, they just went from podcasting, amassing their fans there, and exporting them into their comedy shows for that artificial success. I'd forgive it all if they were funny, but they're just actors playing the part.
Nick has been doing standup he was young. You're just talking out of your ass.
?si=65bvs1e5dSyjuzVc
and then he stopped to do podcasting, and gathered his fanbase through that. That's not what the other guy was saying
>crowd work
why are people obsessed with crowd work, besides engagement and improvise skill it seems way lazier than actually writing jokes
>Watching standup specials with friend
>Try Stav's special
>Didn't laugh once in the first 20 minutes
>Try the Beautiful Dogs special
>Laugh most of the time
>Biggest laugh was on the last joke
>Time flew by
Sad!
Didn't ask esl
I never thought he could win and now i can't believe he is winning this hard
A Netflix special??
Crikey! They don't give those out to just anybody.
Stav is unfortunately just likable and Nick isn’t. Nick isn’t a very good standup. He’s a radio personality. Sucks I like Nick better like most non-normies but normies like Stav better. It what it is. Nicks funniest standup stuff is when he was reading roast jokes off a piece of paper and Stav can just walk up and raz the crowd and have them in the palm of his hand. Life isn’t fair. I think Nick just needs to accept he’s a podcast man and not a standup and development a more positive attitude towards what he’s good at and be done with it and Adam needs to catch AIDS and die.
Nick should just become a comedy writer. Most of his funniest bits on Cum Town were basically him working out a sketch in real time.
this. to kill a mockingbird from memory was amazing. same with the lil prankster kit commercial
What? Nick is by far the better comedian, his jokes actually have structure and go places. Stav is just crowd work and his Baltimore accent.
Can someone edit this scene of a busted up Nick looking up at a pink naked Stav.
the fat giggling man from cumtown who only had stories from high school was a standup comedian the whole time?
>astroturfed dickhead with safest corporate approved routine on the planet
>Well this was pretty disappointing.
keked when Stav spent 3 hours in Joe Rogan talking about radio and podcasts, but he wouldnt name Cumtown even once
surprised Lil Joe didn't beat his ass for shit talking Austin and cold plunges at the beginning of his special
rogan only gets mad if you badmouth weed
>>HAHA Black person homosexual AMIRITE
giving him way too much credit there
>frogposter
disregarded
>cumtown poster
Back to neoGaf.
>I need a heckin' safespace where people who only think like me post
you're the exact thing you're b***hing about you whiny homosexual
ummm you're chinese
>I created a safespace everywhere else and now I am going to shill my safe edge troony loving dipshits and their Amazon propped standups on Cinemaphile
>implying the safespaces weren't created by corporations appealing to advertisers
you're fricking moronic
No, the safespaces were created by leftards like you who imported them from their colleges and their $150k socialist science classes.
keep doubling down on your moronation
>zoomers are turning standup into nothing but le crowd work
cringe
He's trash and cumtown is trash. Only decent comics are shane and Louie. Only decent podcaster is theo and timmy.
>Thinking exaggerated south man of Theo as decent
>Well this was pretty disappointing.
I imagine thats what every female he tricks into having sex with him thinks. Cant wait til one finally metoo's him
thats not gabriel inglesias and hes not dead? shocking
Reminder that whenever anyone brings up the fact that stav very clearly pays for views and hired a marketing team to push is material online, suddenly anyone that has anything remotely positive to say about stav disappears. Stavs Netflix special is a dud just like his youtube one, his solo podcast is failing and all the buzz around him had completely fizzled out. Nick and Adam won.
WHAT AN ENORMOUS TUB OF SHIT
How do you think stav is gonna handle getting cancelled when cumtown inevitably comes back to bite him in his big ass
>commie propped by Piker and Katzenberg
>ever getting cancelled
Meds, hurry.
Stav is too fast and ugly to have Hassans privlage
Literal gluttonous israelite demon. The world is worse for each second this fat disgusting and most importantly unfunny rat's aortic valve is able to barely muster a meager burst of blood through his body which I can only assume is 80% numb flabs of meat at this point.
Haha I've been doing some excellent crowd work in this thread and you didn't even notice!
these guys all got soft when they wanted money. Their jokes can't be edgy anymore. Nick's special was like some shit a 2015 era boomer democrat would say.
reddit raid thread
Oooh gossip about comedians I love it. Men talk
whatever you think of Stav, he's always known what side his donut is buttered on
90% of his shitlib screaming whenever Nick said something vaguely racist on Cumtown was fear of losing the Patreon bucks
now he's hopped on the last mobility scooter toward the chocolate fountain of safe-edgy comedy on Netflix
shit bag unfunny podcast containment board when????????????
Specials are obsolete it’s all about long form podcasts and shorts
no, it's about the 2 minutes of funny out of an hour long podcast that gets turned into a funny youtube clip
Beginning was good, the airline story was weak and the crowd work sucked
Reminder that Cinemaphile was right about cumtown fans. A bunch of cultureless reddit Hispanic zoomer betas. The biggest homosexual from it confirms his fanbase is just that too
?t=1499
didn't everyone already know that? their youtube comment profiles often belong to troons and democratic socialists.
really? because sam hyde, shane gillis, and Cinemaphile kept telling me they're cool. turns out thier shit is for troons hispanics and commies? damn
Only cool pods are mssp war mode and stuff island
for me it's True Capitalist Radio
>podcast gays cant get enough of politics
what a surprise
you probably watch cartoons, fruitbowl
HAHAHAHAHA WOOO
correct, i would never have found that out if they could resist constantly sperging on unrelated comedy channels.
>heheheheheehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
I can't believe you fricking homosexuals watch this shit
I watched it because I like cumtown.
It wasn't funny. Don't know what else to say.
Fat spic
>inb4 unnnnnn ackshuawwy he's gweek sweatie
>people pretending nick mullen's special was hilarious because they like cumtown
the cirque du soleil bit was the only remotely funny part, stav at least is actually making a minimum effort and is putting in the work
mullen is literally crying on podcasts about how he only does a special because theres money potential in it, and cries on his own show (with shit unfunny skits) about how he cannot escape being perceived the "cumtown guy"
mullen is a homosexual tbh, stav is a disgusting pig but at least he's still making a minimum effort to make people laugh the best way he knows how, mullen can do that too but he's such a gay he refuses to do his bits that made him popular and succesfull in the first place
you made a CUM podcast homosexual, just accept it and make some jokes about being gay, do a fricking impression you unfunny homosexual
>do a fricking impression you unfunny homosexual
there really is no reason fo rhim not to do impressions in his stand up. guy's a moron
flawless victory
what a fat c**t
I thought Nick was a Stephen Crowder character for 3 years.
And Stavos main contribution is talking about dicks in between non stop rounds of forced giggling like he's working for Howard Stern
His comedy hasn’t really progressed since cumtown, kind of sad really. Nicks comedy makes cumtown seem more like a side project, not a main gig.
it was fricking terrible. once again, all his jokes were just im fat, i love sex and get pussy, i have a tiny uncircumsized penis, he did a 15 minute "muh airline made me miss my flight" bit, and then had a few plants to do crowd work, one of whom was talking about having sex on dick pills with a muscle woman
i mean jesus christ
>trans lives FRICKING matter
hell yeah dude
>triggered FRICKING pussy
Oh u mad kek
not really, just funny to see a snowflake in action
>snowflake
alt right dude hell yeah
>alt right dude hell yeah
why are they so unfunny
Trannies fricking suck dude. Maybe stop grooming kids for 5 seconds.
he's just gonna accuse you of being a troony even though he's the one defending mullen the troony lover
Ian got mad at someone pointing out how big Stav is
he should go back to drinking hand sanitizer
He really is fricking enormous
he gets mad if you point out his aids
>guy who has a podcast and makes money off of pathetic losers treating it like a parasocial relationship then goes ahead and insults people who use thepodcast as a parasocial relationship
if they werent morons his patreon would drop to zero.
puerto ricans are usually dumb
>puerto rican
OH NO NO NO NO NO
LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD
he's right, but on tv, it's a parasocial relationship where the fans are ultra positive
that dude is malding hard
Why do mexican kids get into parasocial relationships with podcasters though
are people really pretending that Nick's special was gay for trannies?
>biden destroying the economy is trump's fault
TDS
> Biden inherited a terrible broken economy and administration from fascist Drumpf
You got BDS son
this just isn't true, though
even with the covid shit, things were better then
nothing biden has done has been to our benefit economically
Chudcope
it's objectively true
I know trannies can't into objectivity, tho
5 more years of Brandon chudgay. Prepare yourself
>thinking he'll even live that long
kek
there's a reason they don't care about making him look electable
>CAPTCHA: TRAPS
kek
>Biden is... LE OLD!
This isn't the gotcha you all seem to think it is.
>these two men are of the same physical and mental health
trannies are delusional, no surprise
And Trumpgays vote against their own economic interests
this is not a gotcha in any sense of the term
prices didn't go up under trump
taxes didnt go up under trump
dollar went further, lower interest rates, more oil security
trump sucks israeli cut penis but you're a troony, kek
>this fat septuagenarian won't die because... BECAUSE HE WON'T!
Epic.
biden can't string two sentences together
i dont want trump or biden but you trannies unwilling to admit they both suck because you're so scared of trump are pathetic
Nah, I can agree they both suck.
alright there's some common ground
also we're both biological males
How'd you guess?
I'm bi, but I love my dick.
