Aidsmoby looks absolutely depressed to have lost his job and beardfat has finally realized he will never have one while Jay and Mike continue to cruise on YT and Patreon cash just sitting around watching movies.
It's amazing that fedora gay has enough clout to prop up 10 fricking people's careers for this long. Seriously take Yahtzee out of this picture and who are these dweebs? I wonder if he understands the significance of his position, he's literally leading these goobers through life, just carrying every single one of them 24/7.
It’s baffling that movieblob is not just a lolcow to everyone. Some random YouTuber I occasionally listened to referenced something he said and I almost did a spit take.
Do people watch his videos or like his tweets unironically? I always assumed he worked a cashier job or something between seething on Twitter all day.
Depends on the time when he created. Early on Bob was your Ru of the mill Game rewiever with his own channel lore. Standard. But you could see he had fun doing them
But then the Gamergate happend. And o boy did boy went down the downward spiral afther that.

I think the basic gist was that someone discovered female indie game makers were bribing certain game reviewers with sex for good reviews or something along those lines.

No, you idiot. It was because a girl game developer was fricking different game journalists for good reviews and when they all got caught, instead of admitting to it they declared that it was gamers who were the problem.
What made it worse was that the main gaming websites all communicated with each other behind the scenes to put out the same message: male gamers were toxic. It was the cover up that ended up being worse than just one chicken banging journalists to hype her shitty game.
And frick you for being so being so moronic that I had to type this out while taking a dump.

Zoe Quinn fricked some reviewers to get good reviews of her shitty game, and when people pointed it out it unraveled a whole tapestry of corruption that made the media shit their pants and declare war on gamers. In a hyperbolic, illustrative sort of way.
Anyone saying it was incel rage or something is just repeating mainstream talking points to troll you.
Moviebob was popular even on Cinemaphile back in like 2009 because he wasn't CONSTANTLY screeching about politics and made good short videos about comics and movies.
>WOWWWWW really? Noo. No. >Hohhhh boy. >No, no, no, Rich! No, Rich! RICH! You're forgetting this verrrry important plot point that explains that! >SO THEN THIS NEXT thing happens in the plot >COME ON. Come onnnn. Come on! >Ohhh, Jesus Christ. Ughh.
Aidsmoby is okay because he just goes along with shit and laughs at everyone's jokes. Beardfat continues to try and steer the conversation while everyone is just shooting the shit. He still has not learned his lesson from Shaqmeat. He could never appear again and no one would ask where he was because McAuley and Tim are better
AIDSmoby had laid off of the mugging for the camera and being a try hard, I think he figured out a few years ago that they'll never let him be a real member of the crew.
He always seemed to actually enjoy streaming games on PreRec for whatever reason, so I guess he's pretty happy going lamprey mode on Yahtzee
>AIDSmoby had laid off of the mugging for the camera and being a try hard, I think he figured out a few years ago that they'll never let him be a real member of the crew.
I felt he was finally starting to find his place as the sort of Butters of the group before he stopped being a regular.
>He always seemed to actually enjoy streaming games on PreRec for whatever reason
Discovering prerec was the strangest thing for me. It's like Rich and Jack swapped bodies for all that content. Suddenly Jack was the mostly funny guy with reasonable takes and Rich was the cringy sperg.
>Tim is the far superior fourth
You sometimes catch Mike looking at him like "Aw man, you're as drunk as I am. Do you know how often I get to say that nowadays? In this moment, I genuinely love you"
That always makes the episode.
I think you're right, the fat wizard may as well not exist, he's that compliant. Aids guy wouldn't earn his keep being minced for dogfood.
When they realize they're hypocrites, crybabies & CONSOOMERS who made the Star Wars franchise worse. Which, considering they've all buried their heads up their asses so well, will be never.
They made it worse? Than the unwatchable garbage that is the prequels? Pretty sure the only thing that got worse is the woke stuff which follows the general trend of Hollywood.
He's pretty handy as a set builder you have to hand it to them.
And construction workers are fat as frick because they eat line shit.
Ask me how I know.
Yeah ngl I'm impressed by the BOTW desk they sit at and the Plinketto board. Even the Star Trek trivia podiums weren't bad. After Mike flipped it you could see he used pocket holes instead of just hammering them together. He creeps on a construction forum somewhere.
They stay encapsulated and don't try to expand their brand which keeps them happy. Mike has said he has a crippling social anxiety so they'll never expand out like other channels try to do. Their views are down overall but it's hard to say if it's them or just YouTube in general since younger viewers are moving more toward tiktok and instagram live.
>Their views are down overall
unsure about that, if anything they're consistent. half in the bag has averaged a million views for a few years now, while best of the worst has consistently made a couple millions each. plinkett and star wars shit is still their biggest draw, but they've done well outside of it tbh
Whimper.
Unless Mike gets a DUI and has a racist meltdown on dashcam I don't see RLM getting into any sort of drama. They're deliberately outside of the YouTube sphere of drama and keep to themselves. I can totally see them just stopping uploads all together without any fanfare.
Because they reached completion. The purpose of the Plinket reviews was to reveal the nakedness of the emperor's new clothes in regards to the terrible collapse of popular movie franchises like Star Wars. Having achieved that goal, there's little reason to keep doing more just for the sake of "being funny". I mean Mike pretty much illustrates as much during the final reviews, that with the magic of Hollywood having been dispelled, expectations are so low that no one with a brain is really getting fooled anymore into thinking any of these trash films are good.
>When Will RLM End?
One of them will have a health scare and decide to get healthy, running, eating right, cutting out the booze and weed, getting muscly.
The fat messes who watch this sub-midwit shite will feel alienated and stop watching.
I'm predicting this happens ... around 2029
Do you get the impression that Tim saw the Doug Stanhope cameo in Louis and everything changed?
He started wearing beanies and drinking and talking like that?
Mike is already dead and the rest of the crew has Weekend at Bernies'd him for the last 6 months now. They tried to embalm the body but the rot is starting to get hold. And as we know Mike is the sole stakeholder in RLM with a will stipulating that everything will be transfered to infamous guest Max Landis. Why didnt Mike update the will after the sex pest allegations you ask? Well, Mike is loyal to a fault and even though this cause big drama for the crew no one expected Mike to die from a massive heartattack at the tender age of 82 so it was a problem for future RLM.
Anyways, once the decomposing corpse of Mike is no more, the rest of the crew will scatter. I hear Rich might even restart Pre-Rec but since Rich and Jack hate eachother he will instead do the show with Tim.
I find the pro/anti RLM debate to be overall pretty cringe...But there's no denying that once they hit a million subs they got extremely lazy. Where is the Mr. Plinkett review for Rise of Skywalker? Their entire claim to fame was that character reviewing star wars, yet all we get now are lazy half-assed reviews of movies no one really cares about.
>I find the pro/anti RLM debate to be overall pretty cringe...But there's no denying that once they hit a million subs they got extremely lazy.
Being contrarian and not giving your patreons what they want feels like a good way to play that hand, but you have to get creative or be passionate about taking things in another direction.
Just doubling down on the whole nihilistic, gen x, low effort anti-comedy shtick is too easy.
Look ma, I'm running on fumes!
Make something worth watching.
Yah I agree. I honestly can't blame them though. They still make thousands a month producing this lackluster content. Plus Mike's weight gain reveals his ever increasing alcoholism. I remember a couple years back Rich started a video game review channel. I actually enjoyed watching his videos on Zelda Breath of the Wild. IMO they should have incorporated that aspect into the RLM channel.
that's actually a good question. Never thought about it till now.
RLM has been part of me my entire adult life, though my interest in them has waned vastly.
Now I'm interested in when/how they will end
How did Beardfat first get involved with RLM? I know AIDSMoby has been friends with Mike for a long time considering he was in the early Plinkett videos, but I don't know about Josh and Tim.
I've always assumed Josh was a friend of Jay's since he has similar perverted tastes. Tim I assume met Mike at a court mandated DUI course.
2017
When the FBI finishes investigating Mike.
The charges will never stick. The NGD will never be caught.
When Mike dies
So two weeks?
Nobody ever really dies
when everyone is full bald
Jay would have to live to 150.
Hopefully not for a while. They're based and the most entertaining channel on youtube by far.
This, I love their shit takes and love disagreeing with their shit taste in movies and tv.
When Jay finds a husband to take care of him.
Will never happen. Mike's bride price on Jay is too high.
Aidsmoby looks absolutely depressed to have lost his job and beardfat has finally realized he will never have one while Jay and Mike continue to cruise on YT and Patreon cash just sitting around watching movies.
Jack already got a new gig, he's even shilling it on the latest rlm video
Cast offs from a failed variety channel, this one will surely succeed where the last one failed.
It's amazing that fedora gay has enough clout to prop up 10 fricking people's careers for this long. Seriously take Yahtzee out of this picture and who are these dweebs? I wonder if he understands the significance of his position, he's literally leading these goobers through life, just carrying every single one of them 24/7.
it's not a fedora, it's a trilby. Because fedoras are too mainstream
The Pajeets did nothing wrong. All these hanger ons suck dick
Why didn't Jack bring MovieBob back for this? I thought they were bros and just had to stop collabing when management fired Bobster?
It’s baffling that movieblob is not just a lolcow to everyone. Some random YouTuber I occasionally listened to referenced something he said and I almost did a spit take.
Do people watch his videos or like his tweets unironically? I always assumed he worked a cashier job or something between seething on Twitter all day.
I think he technically lives off ads and patreon but based on patreon and views he's not exactly living well.
I figured he was a Dobson-esque character that persisted creating garbage despite not market for it and being despised by all sides of culture war bs

Moviebob was popular even on Cinemaphile back in like 2009 because he wasn't CONSTANTLY screeching about politics and made good short videos about comics and movies.
The rule of thumb is that he started to suck when he stopped using his accent.
Croshaw probably hates him.
When the new guy took over (who was just fired and took the entire video dept with him) Bob was one of the first they cut off lol
well then Escapist can save itself after having lost Croshaw by bringing Movieblob back.
>Yahtzee's smile and optimism:gone

He actually got muted while trying to get a word in edgewise in the recent eppy lol
I've grown to like beardfat and aidsmoby, theres a certain charm to their cringe after all these years.
Aidsmoby is okay because he just goes along with shit and laughs at everyone's jokes. Beardfat continues to try and steer the conversation while everyone is just shooting the shit. He still has not learned his lesson from Shaqmeat. He could never appear again and no one would ask where he was because McAuley and Tim are better

I think you're right, the fat wizard may as well not exist, he's that compliant. Aids guy wouldn't earn his keep being minced for dogfood.
Tim is great. You can always rely on him to get shitfaced and react well to jokes and have some good jokes.
Jack is good when he’s drunk, but when he isn’t he’s a waste of a space.
Beardfat is a complete waste of a space. Never funny, constantly getting annoyed, trying to always explain the plot and dumb shit no one cares about.
>le quirky bootleg T-shirt that references some band
>no stop saying cripple!
>don't use that word!!
lmao the 2 homosexuals being visibly upset every time he says it. pure onions
>”We have to accentuate PEH-TOE in Joepeto”
>They talk right over him
>people watch these ugly nerds for their enjoyment
I hate watch them occasionally just to hear their latest terrible takes on the newest goyslop.
Rich is the only one who's even slightly bearable.
When they realize they're hypocrites, crybabies & CONSOOMERS who made the Star Wars franchise worse. Which, considering they've all buried their heads up their asses so well, will be never.
They made it worse? Than the unwatchable garbage that is the prequels? Pretty sure the only thing that got worse is the woke stuff which follows the general trend of Hollywood.
>They made it worse? Than the unwatchable garbage that is the prequels?
You mean the sequels? Which was inspired by their direct input (making JJ Abrahms the new director & staying in the comfort zone of the OT)?
>woke stuff
It's not about wokeness, they're still bad movies.
No I mean the prequels, that are absolutely horrible movies, famously some of the worst ever made.
They really could have benefited from having those man-eating teddy bears that ate up two thirds of the last movie, huh?
Yes
When the world stops making movies.
Isn't rich a little too overweight and diabetic to be a construction worker?
He's pretty handy as a set builder you have to hand it to them.
And construction workers are fat as frick because they eat line shit.
Ask me how I know.
How do you know?
I worked concrete repair, gained 100lbs but could shoulder carry three 90lb bags of concrete by the end of it.
Foundation repair*
Yeah ngl I'm impressed by the BOTW desk they sit at and the Plinketto board. Even the Star Trek trivia podiums weren't bad. After Mike flipped it you could see he used pocket holes instead of just hammering them together. He creeps on a construction forum somewhere.
RLM is probably the channel I have followed for the longest time without getting tired or bored.
I can see them lasting easily another 5 years at least. Their views are not dwindling.
They stay encapsulated and don't try to expand their brand which keeps them happy. Mike has said he has a crippling social anxiety so they'll never expand out like other channels try to do. Their views are down overall but it's hard to say if it's them or just YouTube in general since younger viewers are moving more toward tiktok and instagram live.

>Mike has said he has a crippling social anxiety
Yeah sure.
like this comment if you remember when you had to watch new stuff on their website
How rich is Evan, really?
The question should really be How Will RLM End? With a bang or a whimper?
Whimper.
Unless Mike gets a DUI and has a racist meltdown on dashcam I don't see RLM getting into any sort of drama. They're deliberately outside of the YouTube sphere of drama and keep to themselves. I can totally see them just stopping uploads all together without any fanfare.
Why did they stop with the Plinkett reviews?
Mike isn't inspired to make them anymore. He has gone from cynical to apathetic.
Because they reached completion. The purpose of the Plinket reviews was to reveal the nakedness of the emperor's new clothes in regards to the terrible collapse of popular movie franchises like Star Wars. Having achieved that goal, there's little reason to keep doing more just for the sake of "being funny". I mean Mike pretty much illustrates as much during the final reviews, that with the magic of Hollywood having been dispelled, expectations are so low that no one with a brain is really getting fooled anymore into thinking any of these trash films are good.
I don't think Mike even has the ability to write a funny Plinkett review anymore.
Why I hate any post 2019 Chud film youtubers. They perpetuate the cycle.
the ghostbusters 2016 videos were the best though next to the trek movie reviews. both hitb and plinkett.
They take a long time to write, shoot and edit. Easier to just spend a day doing an unrehearsed half in the bag or review.
They did one kind of for the third Halloween remake.
Josh is already having a foot amputated from diabetes.
>not IMMEDIATELY getting the "joe peto" and "pino" reference
What are they, stuuuuupid?
Is the RLM Forum still active or did they finally end it?
ASAP. I can't take them seriously after their praise for midnight monologues.
Based Redlettermedia STILL making the autistic incels of Cinemaphile seethe.
It’s just too easy!
Not soon enough. If you're still watching middle-aged losers talking about dumb bullshit, you need to kys.
Reminder that RLM is board culture and the plinkette reviews used to get their own stickies.
Jay owes me sex
Based and same. He owes the entirety of Cinemaphile hot gay sex, the sexy little manlet.
If avgn can still do it, rlm is safe for the foreseeable future
>god tier
mike and jay
>okay if he gets bullied and don't talk to much
rich

Mike and rich

The rest
Freddie is the best 4th RLMer.
when mike dies
It will never end. Mike forced Rich to sign a contract in high school that forces him to work for him and be bullied by him until the day he dies.
RIch deserves to be bullied. I hope he wakes up relieved every day how his friend Mike saved him from a nobody life of backbreaking construction work
is rich paid a salary
Rich is allowed to sleep in the studio and Mike lets him eat whatever leftovers are still in the fridge. It's more than he deserves.
Yes. He is a full-time set designer and carpenter for RLM.
He's given one (1) hot dog and one (1) warm handshake every month for his services.
Not even memeing, Rich is a multi millionare he accidentaly mentioned it in one of their commentary tracks.
Rich did terrible things for that inheritance. It's disgusting to think about considering how much his grandmother adored him.
>how much his grandmother adored him.
>dick the birthday boy
Hopefully soon. The DT crew is ready to take over
Crazy how DT have kept going with Korey at the helm after all the allegations came out
When someone dies
>When Will RLM End?
One of them will have a health scare and decide to get healthy, running, eating right, cutting out the booze and weed, getting muscly.
The fat messes who watch this sub-midwit shite will feel alienated and stop watching.
I'm predicting this happens ... around 2029
Why didn't RLM collapse when Jay got fit in 2015?
Jay doesn't count. He's a stand in for the viewer, laughing a bit too much at his boyfriends "jokes".
jay is so hot, also so is tim
wow
Do you get the impression that Tim saw the Doug Stanhope cameo in Louis and everything changed?
He started wearing beanies and drinking and talking like that?
What if they kissed?
I wouldn't want to meet the kind of women that think Tim is hot.
Women?
Yes, women. I already know that homosexuals are degenerate freaks and perverts, so there is nothing new to discover there.
Do you know where you are?
Mike is already dead and the rest of the crew has Weekend at Bernies'd him for the last 6 months now. They tried to embalm the body but the rot is starting to get hold. And as we know Mike is the sole stakeholder in RLM with a will stipulating that everything will be transfered to infamous guest Max Landis. Why didnt Mike update the will after the sex pest allegations you ask? Well, Mike is loyal to a fault and even though this cause big drama for the crew no one expected Mike to die from a massive heartattack at the tender age of 82 so it was a problem for future RLM.
Anyways, once the decomposing corpse of Mike is no more, the rest of the crew will scatter. I hear Rich might even restart Pre-Rec but since Rich and Jack hate eachother he will instead do the show with Tim.
>tl;dr
late januari or early februari of 2024
tim got so hot in february 2022
If RLM ends I kill myself.
We know, Jay.

I find the pro/anti RLM debate to be overall pretty cringe...But there's no denying that once they hit a million subs they got extremely lazy. Where is the Mr. Plinkett review for Rise of Skywalker? Their entire claim to fame was that character reviewing star wars, yet all we get now are lazy half-assed reviews of movies no one really cares about.

Yah I agree. I honestly can't blame them though. They still make thousands a month producing this lackluster content. Plus Mike's weight gain reveals his ever increasing alcoholism. I remember a couple years back Rich started a video game review channel. I actually enjoyed watching his videos on Zelda Breath of the Wild. IMO they should have incorporated that aspect into the RLM channel.
that's actually a good question. Never thought about it till now.
RLM has been part of me my entire adult life, though my interest in them has waned vastly.
Now I'm interested in when/how they will end
RLM will end when their manager, a Lou Pearlman-type character, releases them from their contracts.
How did Beardfat first get involved with RLM? I know AIDSMoby has been friends with Mike for a long time considering he was in the early Plinkett videos, but I don't know about Josh and Tim.
I've always assumed Josh was a friend of Jay's since he has similar perverted tastes. Tim I assume met Mike at a court mandated DUI course.
Met at some indie movie screening undoubtedly.
>Tim I assume met Mike at a court mandated DUI course.
