My DM is being a fuckhead and his best friend (one of the worst players our group has had, only gets to play because DM feels incredibly guilty for leaving him out) is only making it worse by recommending and agreeing with the increasingly stupid things our DM has been saying and doing recently related to the game. I and another player have tried to talk it out with them but they just take it as personal attacks and insult us behind our backs. If leaving the group were an option I would, but a lot of my very close friends are in that group and specifically leaving now would cause a big rift for multiple reasons. So, instead, I've decided that I'm just going to be "That Guy" for our new campaign, at least subtly. I'lol either get a kick out of it or get kicked out of it, whichever comes first, but both are better options than my current ones. Perhaps "That Guy" isn't exactly the proper term for just wanting to fuck with my DM's game, but eh, fuck it, anybody have some tips on how to be "That Guy"? Also stories thread.

just leave you're not that important to the group
This. Didn't even bother reading OP's post, it was clear he's buttmad and doesn't enjoy being there.
>friends being so neurotic that not playing a game together would cause a "big rift for multiple reasons"
get the fuck out of there as fast as you can
Either play a game with your friends or don't.
Don't be a faggot that tries to derail shit "for the lulz." Doing the same shit to them that you're complaining about happening to you is absolutely retarded and childish.
Need more details about what your DM and his friend are doing that bugs you so much.
Please. Be an asshole. Die alone.

What system are you playing?
What is the campaign like?
Can you explain what sort of things your DM has done or said that his best friend agrees with that has you so on edge?
My circle used to game at a friend's house. I was DMing for awhile and during that time, he was waiting to DM his own game. By the time my game finally ended, I knew that his game would be a chore to play through. I thought that not playing his game might create a rift, but I decided "fuck it" and bailed anyway.
At the end of my very last session, he starts talking about his first session being next week and I mention that I wouldn't be attending. He had a bitchfit and the very next week, everybody was gaming at my place. He has since defriended EVERYBODY in our circle.
tl;dr Rifts are good. Embrace them.
