WhoWhat hasn't she done?

ThatAussieGuy a podcast, she was a guest on some, but she hasn't done her own. She will never do it because that is to much work for a marginal return, but there was a moment when the minor nobodies from CA where trying to get on that bandwagon.

You know, this guy is my Lolcow, because how fucken stupid and whiny he is

Coldguy was the original host of their podcast, Transmission Awesome. Even I can't remember what he started with, but he ended up leaving TA pretty early leaving it to get into the Rollo-T/LordKaT/Fausz/Paw groove it had most of its lifetime. After a long absence, he came back to do foreign film stuff that I only remember for the gimmick that the SAP-like setting on his videos would shift, causing him to start speaking in a foreign language. It died quickly. Dunno where he is now.

Last Angry Geek is an okay guy, but I can't get into his comic book stuff and his riffs of old PSA's straddle the line between entertaining and painful. The best thing he did was Who reviews, but last season he didn't start until halfway in. This season, he took 3-4 weeks to get to one and didn't get to the end until a couple weeks ago. Introduced a patron of the week segment at the end and I'm half convinced he was holding off reviews until he got enough patrons to do one a week.

Things I'm surprised haven't come up yet:

Channel Awesome's completely failed attempt at a comic show joining Blistered Thumbs and others on the scrap heap.

BattleGeekPlus, which included a man who did a low-rent rip-off of one of Brad's worst characters. Then there's... this. Also the ones who brought us this horror-show. Looks like the main guy went solo now, but originally it was he and his friends playing games and speaking about them, and they were painfully awkward and boring. That guy seems pretty nice and would likely be fun to be around, but his character work is just the worst thing on the site.

Speaking of that auction video, throw Gaming Wildlife on the pile of people who abandoned their main feature for something else. They did the double-feature of then having their second feature become a huge hit... then ran out of ideas and abandoned that. They have a history of throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. Some stuff has been very good, and sometimes breasts. It's a shame. They apparently posted a video saying goodbye to their original feature, but despite being posted on the website, the video was quickly deleted.

Oh, and while Bargain Boy was brought up, I really feel the need to point attention to his vlogs with his friend. Just... there are no words.

You take that back! Kung Tai Ted was the hero of the people. He helped me through the darkest of times.

I'd happily take Kung Tai Ted riffing Kung Fu movies over Cinema Snob going apoplectic over characters believing in Jeßus.

There's no way in hell this guy actually still watches the Simpsons. Keeping a delusional attitude like that only helps him maintain hipster cred. If he ever does watch, he probably only cherry picks an episode here and there when his media feeds alert him to one of them few good ones that pop up rarely.

Decent sperge. I don't disagree

WARNING: Completely unnecessary sperge belowShow

Season 13??? The show was sliding down to suck WAAAY before 2001. I remember episodes that were starting to veer into ass in nineteen-ninety-effing-eight.

The show now is a mostly unwatchable effort that wouldn't be good enough for adult swim. Forget medicore, the episodes writing and comedy are firmly below average. The jokes are nothing more than a progressive/liberal world's fair, trying to smarten up everyone (the loyal audience) with benefits to their lives while bowing down in wow and awe at the celebrity darling of the weak. Then roughly halfway into the episode, the show remembers it needs to be funny to be a comedy, so it tries a few week jokes that are never really the fault of the concept or guest, and see them return to status quo with the concept failing for completely dumb, illogical reasons or because everyone else is too ignorant or undeserving to appreciate it. That's when they're not strip mining old episodes for cheap laughs and nostalgia, or focusing on more obscure characters for an emotional story that never needed to happen. Can't wait for the Bumblebee Man opus.
When the damn theme park ride is a more enjoyable experience, you know you have a problem.


The show is at its best--and the few times it shines recently--when it stuck primarily to Bart. These writers never ask themselves if their plot would work better as a Bart episode, when it usually would. (Take any mediocre episode, put Bart as the main character, and see if the premise doesn't get better immediately with more comedy opportunities and emotional punches). The show should be mostly Bart, sometimes Marge, and occasionally Maggie. Push Homer to the side--as a B-plot or side character he's good in small doses, but they've pretty much exhausted every facet they can explore with the character at this point. Push Lisa back even further. She's better as an apolitical wisdom dispenser and actual 8 year old girl than a mouthpiece for the writers.

Side note: why can't we have a conservative daughter on a TV sitcom? How come no one else hasn't ever tried to do that yet?

Srsly it was fucking weird when they suddenly started to make sequel episdoes for one-off characters last seen 100+ episodes ago. That's like shit you do for those Simpsons comics where Bart has the wrong shirt color.
