Heidecker is exactly who I wanted on that list. That's a big adult swim name you don't want to piss off.

As far as me, I've followed MDE and Sam Hyde for a few years on youtube because I thought they did genuinely edgy stuff which was funny and refreshing in how gleefully they like to go up to the line, and then step over it sometimes. Comedy is supposed to be destabilising to the established, and for a lot of people in the west, the established is a cozy soft progressivism that is only based on superficial reinforcement from your social groups and internet funnels, rather than any actual critical thought. That's not good enough and I think part of the glee Sam takes in pissing people off is because he knows that a lot of apparently left-wing people really just go with the crowd and can't back up what they have to say.
See, we've got a problem where politics in comedy has become a complete echo chamber - everybody says the same kind of stuff when it comes to these things. There's an assumption that we all share the same mentality, and as we are learning these days, we actually don't. We've just excised all exposure to the other sides of society. Whether you think there is a chance in hell they could be right about a couple of things or not, a good way to start going wrong is to start denying yourself different viewpoints.
Also - this topic has run wild saying Sam Hyde is a white nationalist, has basically ignored the fact that the guy who wrote this article has a personal reason to not like Sam Hyde and that there almost certainly were never swastikas or whatever in the original cuts of the show. Do you just want everybody to blithely say 'well i guess the guy is a nazi let's ban him from tv', even though there isn't any actual evidence of that?
Cos what we're talking about here is well World Peace should be cancelled because alt-right people like the show, and also he retweets dumb shit on twitter sometimes, etc.
And look - MDE is an ugly thing. I've had to turn off their stuff sometimes either cos Sam just gets too trolly or it just makes me feel like shit. I'm not necessarily liking the lean into right wing politics from them, but it's at least something different. Aren't any of you the least bit curious about how their minds work and how they see things? No? Just make them go away?
It isn't about Sam Hyde or MDE. This is about some fairly right wing guys coming into a corner of western culture that left wing people have determined they own and nobody can act out of line. So what is happening is people are exaggerating the actual transgressions, simplifying them down to a few trending phrases, and saying they should be all be fired and shoved somewhere we never have to see them again.
His shit is nihilistic, self-agrandizing, pseudo-intellectual, and barely-veiled resentment and hatred which he then attempts to post-rationalize. His schtick is 3 times abstracted meta irony, which is just fucking obnoxious and cringe inducing. A bitter basement dweller with a side of columbine if I've ever seen one. Definitely mentally unstable.
It's dark, tormented absurdist humor that makes you feel uncomfortable rather than laugh.
I've just looked into his back catalog of original youtube videos. Seeing where he is starting from is very worrisome. If his only point was to highlight moral grandstanding and condescension from well-off, white corporate liberals and trust fund hipsters, he'd have a point. But his seething resentment and hatred here are only post rationalized in a manner to veil his true intentions: vengeance for not being accepted by these same people. He grew up in the wealthy Boston, Mass and Connecticut suburbs surrounded by these types of people and was an outcast, a basement dweller. His humor has a real vehement tinge of "Nice Guy" syndrome motivating it. Notice he also has a thing with feminists and more liberal leaning women for this reason. Dude is a piece of shit through and through. It's like he's on the edge of being a school shooter, which is ironic because he's been mistakenly associated with mass shootings in the past via hoaxing.
Hey difference strokes for different folks!Is this sarcasm? How is that funny in any way?
come on
Is this sarcasm? How is that funny in any way?
well if we needed any more reason to believe that this guy is a scumbag...
that's your boy, MDE fans. cool guy.[to Brett Gelman]and your girlfriend's ugly dude...and I'm not saying that because she's black, I'm saying it because she's ugly as shit.
Delocated is one of the best comedy shows of the past decade
There is nothing in the show that warrants this pressure to have it cancelled.
Its that simple.
I think MDE can be quite funny. I think the anti-humor just rubs almost everybody who sees it the wrong way. Today, people already have a hard enough time separating themselves and their ideologies from any form of media and I think that is entirely who they are targeting.
That's a perfect summation.I watched some clips and it's like Idiocracy is happening in real life.
Curiosity got the best of me so I decided to youtube a clip of the show
I have no idea if this was a segment on the show or what, but this is an actual upload to their official channel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9ePhVDYRiE
Clearly, this is a troupe of assholes. Multiple people harassing Chelsea Clinton at a rally... that's humor/entertainment?
And the comments section makes it clear this guy/program is a beacon of the alt-right. The top comment is from their official channel, upvoted to the moon, and it's disgusting.
They had an alt right guy on NPR last night. They asked him if he was okay with swastikas. His response was "It is an ancient symbol." The host said, "I will take that as an okay". It was a painful thing to listen to.In case this gets lost in all that bolding:
wtf

What's this?
Let me stop you right there: this is a completely ridiculous thing to say. Left/progressive folks constantly argue with each other. One of the biggest problems on the left is people spending so much time arguing with each other over minutiae that it can be hard to organize against big picture problems.
As for the "actual critical thought," that's a bold claim to try to make when the right in this country's most important person can barely string a sentence together and still got elected.
Ironically you have come to this conclusion via reinforcement from your right leaning social groups as this is a very common refrain I see from folks who seemingly haven't ever talked to an actual progressive about anything. It's a strawman.
(I do agree that there is a lot to criticize about mainstream center-left political comedy and how trite it often is (holy fuck David Cross is unfunny when doing stand up) but that sentence stuck out like a sore thumb.)
Instead of alt-right garbage they could be showing some more anime
It's 2016, they're the same thing now.Instead of alt-right garbage they could be showing some more anime
YupThis wouldn't shock me in the slightest.
he's a bad person, stop defending him.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8veIPq_evlQ
Sam Hyde steps out of character for the first time (that I've ever seen) to address the rumors. Says there were no Swastikas in the shows, and that the Adult Swim censor was Jewish and that they'd never be stupid enough to put that in there and risk their big break.
Sam Hyde really isn't alt-right you guys, I promise. At the most he dislikes liberals like the South Park guys, but he's made fun of redpilled people in the past as well.
EDIT: Why the fuck are we taking Buzzfeed Co.'s word for this shit? REALLY?
EDIT 2: He's not political,and likes Bernie Sanders. Sooooooooooooo racist, right?

Is Inuyasha still running?
he's always "in character" lol and the video you linked he literally starts screaming "we won" in reference to trump?
i still don't think that the adult swim lineup really matters at all, MDE will keep doing their thing regardless, but seriously guys the murky fascist political angle is sort of the point with a lot of the humor here. i agree that you don't need buzzfeed to spend time on sam or MDE to figure any of this stuff out.
I've been over this in a previous thread, he's into performance art and was the mentor for the Brianna Wu "assassin" who had been in character as a 9/11 and 2pac conspiracy theorist for a small audience for 4 years. He only broke character when Wu took him seriously.
We really need to cut it out with the witch hunts.
EDIT: He's only fucking with touchy liberals and is obviously being facetious. "You got 8 years of Trump!" He's only been elected for 4. This is clearly a joke.
i don't think anyone's really advocating for a witch hunt here. just commenting on the news that some extremely weird and ironic comedians might have a show canceled because it turns out they are actually too weird and ironic for mainstream television.
You're not going to get far describing bigotry from a member of an online white supremacist movement as "weird and ironic".

Uh.... That sounds awful and downright scary to be honest.
Sounds like terrible people. That's not punching up, that's punching down to a point that people could easily take it seriously and find them life threatening. If that's found funny, that says something more about these people making these kinds of jokes and the people who enjoy it.
grey wolf nationchapo trap house should have a show instead
