WATP does a live show in Detroit and shows disgusting clips of Stuttering John. Same old, same old.
Tom Myers took a break for the Summer and is back with a backlog of terrible, old jokes.
A guy tries to explain the Dabbleverse to a couple normal people... An intro to the Dabbleverse.
While The Goal may be The Highest Good, it is also a cruel mistress.
A little more anti-comedy, but this time from Opie, of "Opie and Anthony" fame.
I worry that in the current state of things, my blog might become too Tom Myers heavy. There are two forces at work: I'm not finding a lot of good videos and I can't get enough of Tom Myers' unique brand of nonsensical non-humor joke product. If it's too much, please forgive me.
I also get a kick out of the blunt thumbnail. "What do we want to say about Tom Myers?"
"Tom Myers Stinks."
Yo, a new Tom Myers monologue just dropped. The WATP crowd is known for being a bit critical, it's what they do, but in this case I think they went too easy with this. This is not comedy, these are not even jokes, this is just words strung together into sentences and nothing else. Absolutely incredible.
Oozebear is a "user-generated improv podcast." I don't know exactly what that means but... wow.
John is at his mom's house when the fans start calling on the phone. Is John smart enough to figure out how to get the ringing to stop?
What I like about Tom Myers' comedy is: it makes you laugh but you get the news at the same time. It's entertaining AND informative.
And not only is Tom Myers the World's Worst Comedian, this video purports to relay the worst joke ever. It's a bold claim, Cotton.
Apparently there is a sphere of the internet that revolves around mocking Stuttering John Melendez and this sphere is known as "The Dabbleverse." The "Jupiter" of this Dabbleverse is Karl from "Who Are These Podcasts?" and there is currently a will they/won't they thing going on where Karl and John might do a show together.
I don't know Stuttering John and don't really have an opinion. The thing that I find particularly compelling is that he's recently started acting like a professional wrestler doing promos (without Mean Gene). Or a professional wrestler crossed with Howard Beal from "Network"... crossed with just general "dumb guy" off the street. That's entertainment.
Small-time stand-up comedian Chad Zumock is doing a podcast when he gets a threatening message on his phone that includes a photo of his house. Later that night he's back on youtube with a black eye and a story about how thugs - perhaps sent by Anthony Cumia (of Opie and Anthony fame) - attacked him. Is he lying? Is it true? Does the truth lie somewhere in the middle?
I know that "True Crime Podcasts" are especially hot these days, is there room for a "True Dumb Crime" genre?
Who Are These Podcasts? looks at the public access show of Harrison Young who is still on the air in 2022. Then they go down the rabbit hole on Nick Payne (XXII) who is simultaneously a sibling and a spouse of the Kardashians.
"Who Are These Podcasts" checks in with Howard Stern's current radio show and, in the ultimate plot twist, Howard Stern has become a nagging grandmother who's obsessed with imposing her rules on others.
I've never had a strong opinion on Stern one way or the other but I find this to be a fascinating reflection on the craziness and unpredictability of life. If you're in the 90s listening to "shock jock king of all media" Howard Stern and you try to predict what will become of him in the future, you would never predict this. And yet this is the reality that has unfolded.
