Reminds me that Scientology sent "private investigators" after Matt and Trey to find dirt on them, but ended up with nothing

    You can't damage the credibility of people who don't claim to have any. And, in attempting to do so, you can only increase their credibility.

    Matt and Trey don't claim to be any more than a few jackass comedians with a TV show. Scientology's MO really doesn't work against guys like that.

    They demolished Scientology, before people were "afraid" of them.

    This video talks about the whole story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMrN5nWuh_s

    Are all youtube videos so epileptic nowadays? Does this appeal to people? Am I out of touch?

    What do you mean by epileptic? It's a video essay, the majority of the substance is the words spoken by the guy making the video. And yes, I occasionally watch and enjoy this kind of video, and I even saw this one about s month ago and liked it. It tied up some loose ends in my head and gave me context I wouldn't otherwise get.

    The term video essay is really a perfect description for this.
