I would like to get into Cum Town due to references on Chapo but don't know where to start. Help fellas.


Barry Beano

Shut up Adam, you faggot.

Do you guys like Richard Nixon?

Schnapple

Co-sign on that 'Brain Man' bit, just absolute puerile brilliance from Mullen. Had to turn it off as I was listening in bed and woke my other half up laughing.

'Dat Mind' was the highlight of that episode for me.

Not so sure at all about this recent treatment of Tom Myers.

Schnapple

Yeah, agreed. It was alright when they were affectionaly mocking him a few weeks back, but dissecting his act for almost the entire show like that just felt flat-out mean, and I think Adam and Stav knew it, too.

Wow, out of everything, who would have thought this was the first instance of material on Cum Town that I found genuinely problematic!

Agreed. It just seems like full on bullying now. The latest episode becomes a bit unpleasant after a while for me and that's fucking saying something.

Doozy of a premium, this most recent one. Certain types of people really shouldn't be associating themselves publicly with left-wing activism.

Everybody still on board?

iamcoop

Yeah the last one was funny as fuck. Nick clearly in manic/coke mode, although I do think the Adam baiting is starting to get a bit tired. Constantly rinsing his girlfriend seems a touch overboard for example. Although she's probably in on it and he makes thousands of dollars a month off it so he can't moan too much I guess.

And "the story of Chris Benoit" one was probably the most I've laughed at a podcast for a long, long time.

Sin Agog

The main evolution is how they easily have the funniest ad breaks since Norm Macdonald Live.  It's bizarre and cool that Mack Weldon and that betting site are fine with the boys muddying their products' names with their dirtiest material.  Wonder how long that can last... Though they must be aware that such half-baked, conversational ads will render the skip ahead fifteen seconds button useless for their fans, as opposed to some bland, recorded copy.

iamcoop

The "put 'em on your bitch" bit from a couple of episodes ago was so fucking stupid.

I can't understand why I like this so much, usually the sort of humour the boys peddle just isn't my bag at all but when it's these three constantly calling each other gay and blasting N's it just makes me giggle at how fucking purile it is. It's also made me and a work colleague get into a dangerous game of constantly changing the lyrics to songs into references to being gay with your dad. I can't explain it, with any other comics I just don't think I could enjoy it but there's something so endearing about the chemistry between them.

It's because it's the only things scratching the itch of "ostensibly nice guys saying anything they find funny" in a world where comedy has turned to political activism.

Adam Jr is the funnies thing I've heard in ages. I don't care how racist it is, how offended MotherJones magazine writers are, how Nick Mullen is CANCELLED for saying it, it's just insanely funny. I think Adam puts up with it because he knows he's 100% dispensable in a room with Nick.

I never seen anyone be such a faggot and still look so fucking retarded.

What if this retarded faggot was a n**ger, can we get 20 minutes out of that?

Isn't this just Opie and Anthony for people with ironic moustaches?

Absolutely hilarious, best Cum Town bit for ages. I find it impossible to get offended by them because it's all so meaningless - I have no expectations of them to be operating within any standards of decency, they just need to be funny. And they always are.

Yeah, well, there's a reason for that.

Quote from: Stewart Lee in The Guardian the other weekThis isn't the time for ambiguity, or irony, or publicity-seeking controversy. Those days are gone, and I miss them, as I am part of a generation that profiteered from the assumption that political correctness was a done deal, and now we could have fun jumping in and out of its boundaries, like street kids round a spurting water main. But the Nazi-saluting pug bloke has just joined Ukip so his racist dog doesn't seem remotely funny any more.

If Breitbart or Spiked can roll out your comments approvingly online you have fucked up. Nowadays, your true intentions have to be written through every inch of your content, like the word Blackpool through a stick of rock, so at any point the useful idiots of the hipster "alt-right" and their fellow travellers in the opinion industry chose to snap it, it still can't be repurposed.

How many people do you think that regularly listen to this podcast of "ostensibly nice guys saying anything they find funny" are actually "ostensibly nice guys" themselves, and not just alt-right dickheads gleefully enjoying it for the wrong reasons? Not all of them are going to be like that, sure, but I'd wager a fair amount. As S. Lee pointed out there, those days are gone - at least maybe for now.

O&A without the talent or voices for radio.

One of them does apparently have an attractive GF in a sailor suit though, I'll give them that.

I don't care. It makes me laugh. What does me stopping listening to it accomplish? I don't pay for it. Anyone listening to Cum Town thinking any three of them are alt-right is an idiot. It's nice to have someone who's entire philosophy is "if it's funny, say it" and the Fun Police trying to take it away can jog on.

Alt-right or not, there are certain "jokes" that are not jokes unless one is racist.

Alright, well, then I'm a racist. Anyways, see ya.

Not trying to stop you if you enjoy listening to it. Just my opinion on the clips I've heard.

Hank Venture

You just implied I was a racist. At least have the courage of your convictions.

Anyways, the newest premium is pretty funny. They make fun of the denizens of /r/smalldickproblems throughout; newbridge, might want to skip that one.

Sin Agog

The pod is so personality-based that literally no clips mean diddly-squat until you'ved fleshed out who's who, and hopefully not in an 'I'll angrily swat up on five episodes until I've worked out who the Jewish one is just to show this online douchenozzle' way. Otherwise you're just listening to three childish strangers say dodgy shit, and that's, at most, maybe twenty percent of the joke.  I'm actually going to go ahead and say that knee-jerk cum hate comes from the same place as racism...'cause it's a fear of strangers/the proverbial other.  Let them in and then you'll know what people are laughing at.  Otherwise YOU'RE the racist.

I've been on 4chan before, I'm familiar with the humour.

Sin Agog

But just in the last few episodes Nick's alluded to being deflated and depressed, having out of control manic episodes, being on the spectrum, and being unable to extract joy from relationships; Adam's mum's got cancer, and Stav, jolly though he may appear, could keep an abnormal behavioural psychologist entertained for months,  4channers pribably have all of those things, but their inability to face them is what keeps them /mu'ing and angry all the time.  I didn't get the internet 'til way late in life, and find extremely online people lacking in empathy and just plain unnerving, but Nick at least strikes a different chord to those people to me.  Talking of O&A, I remember when he was on Cumia's show and offended a porn star whose brother had autism, Nick immediately switched off the hurr de durr mode and was surprisingly gentle with her.  Can't take people's fronts seriously.  Most of those types are mush underneath in my experience,

Opie is just a miserable old "the blacks should pull up their pants" guy. No self awareness whatsoever.

Nick dismissing stand up as "just a shitty alternative to bowling" says a lot.
