>"Wanna know how to time travel as a man? Just fuck around a lot when you're young"

Samual Whitecobbler Hyde.

MDE and Sam's wheelhouse is absolutely slaughtering the innane, pointless consumerism that fills our lives in the modern world. Whenever they deviate from that their work suffers.

Sadly that's a well-trodden area of comedy dating back to the mid 80s. Gussying it up with flashy editing, graphics, and racism doesn't do much for it.

poor Charls

The racism part is necessary though, since their schtick is pointing out how the left is implicit in the consumerist culture of our times.

>slaughtering the innane, pointless consumerism that fills our lives in the modern world

At some point in 2015 Sam shifted his focus from that to exposing white genocide

Ten hard years of military budget cuts with the funding redirected to public works projects, education, truly brutal executions of terrorists and murderers, and instilling a sense of moral and ethical duty in our population would solve the problems that racists want to solve with HURR ROPE LOL

If you like chuck a lot, go watch Bombstrap you wont regret it

I dunno man, that tedX talk was legendary.

This is how you dress when you’re.... in between.

There's something eerily hyperreal about Sam Hyde, he's like the demonic tv comedian in Do androids dream of electric sheep? or at least he was once, before he got reterritorialized into just another old meme. This interview with WORLDPEACE featured artist and continental philosophy PhD wanker John Maus reads like a fictional document out of a Phillip K Dick or Ballard dystopia.

TED lecture. Now after everything we've said, obviously I'm like, "Right on. Fucking TED." Then I saw some other stuff, where they were taking a piss on, whatever, cool people in Brooklyn and stuff like that. I liked their target so far as I could see.

I said, "Oh yeah, they look like cool dudes. I'll go and do this." I said, "I want to sleep on the couch." I didn't want to come in and just sing a song and go. I wanted to be on the set and see. It was cool, the whole place, and to be on a TV set. They were super nice.
Then a few months later or whatever, one of the people from the label was like, "Yo, did you see this? You gotta say something." "They're Nazis," or something like that.

Shit. A cult of a race and blood—that's an absolute obscenity. That's nothing other than disaster. That's just inarguably obscene, that sort of ideology.

If the question too is why not just throw in your two cents about it or whatever, it's just so insanely complicated the way the biopolitics and the cults of race and blood, the residues of that, are rearing their ugly faces again in our situation. That's too complicated a thing to try to touch with [140] characters without running the risk of just turning the screw.

So much of what Maus said towards the end clearly went right over the interviewer's head. I know it's a cliche of a cliche but vice writers are (with some exceptions) the thickest of twats.

MDE is one of the few manifestations of a counter-culture that fully rejects the beltway-siliconvalley-socialmedia complex (i.e. watch Sam Hyde taking the piss out of a Buzzfeed writer), which is why it's interesting. It is deliberately meant to inflame a certain manifestation of the popular psyche (what some would insultingly call "cuck" or "soyboy"). MDE to a large extent parodies a hyperreal society with an endless number of "individualities" and "identities" that are all a product of a conformative, consumer culture.

>"soyboy"
I'm disappointed this took off instead of "bugman"

Sam's deranged antics were a key part of prime MDE. However, the idiot should've kept his mouth shut when MDE got on Adult Swim. His stupidity killed the show and ripped MDE apart.

>It is obvious to any devout fan looking for verification that Sam knows his literature. Sure, in the less subtle proofs, he outright mentions Jung when discussing King, Magician, Warrior, Lover, or Keynesian economics, or Slajov Zizek (much to our giddy approval, since he follows up this mentioning with a devious smile and says, “What? I can’t make talk shit on Slajov Zizek?” Leading us to believe Sam perhaps browses Veeky Forums’s Veeky Forums, or at least Veeky Forums, or at least at one point he did—all which we’ll touch upon soon). But in other more subtle moments Sam lets the keen observer know he knows what he’s talking about. On their own these moments prove little to nothing, but together coupled with Sam’s wayward genius prove that he is well-read.

>In episode _ of Kickstarter TV, Sam throws out the words “Western Canon,” when talking about woman’s contribution to society throughout time. After laughing at the idea that throughout time women were beat if decided to produce a work of art, Sam jokes that “80% of the Western Canon is by women,” and that it was a woman that invented “the blender, the stoplight,” and the high comedic point in this rant: “The airplane.” (It goes without saying that this is the high point because of our obvious knowledge of The Wright Brothers). But Sam’s mere mention of the phrase “Western Canon” here leads us to believe at the very least: he is more than familiar with literature.

.>In another episode of Kickstarter TV, Sam is reviewing a girl who would love to write a book. He agrees with her idea sarcastically, saying, “Yeah. This is what you need to read. Don’t read Aristotle, The Bible, Tolstoy, Yeats, or Robert Frost, (or any tried and true plays, in another section of the same video), read this girl’s book.” Similar to George Carlin’s notion of millions upon millions of songs already existing (very nearly all of them being about love, funnily enough considering Sam’s view on this topic [cf. KickstarterTV episode Manstarter, and possibly Sam’s refusal to name Shakespeare as a playwright after pausing to come up with one^1]), Sam drives home this point.

I love how after John delivers a monologue about how the modern political landscape is a mess that's manipulated by corporations the interviewer responds with, "You were shocked that they were accused of being Nazis, basically?"

they're not the same thing

He was a victim of his own fanbase, stupid fucking reddit goobers
