It's pretty funny. I wouldn't call it great I guess. I know I shouldn't be laughing but I do anyway. It's pretty easy to see why it attracts shitty people and probably reinforces their shitty beliefs. They also just do the same like 5 bits over and over again. I have no idea why anyone would pay for their premium content. I guess I like it because it reminds me of hanging out with my friends in middle school trying to think of the stupidest shit in the world to make each other laugh.

Exactly. I can’t cram intellectual information in my head all day every day. Listening to cumtown and just shutting my brain off and drooling is relaxing

I think their appeal is similar to Felix's appeal. They're mostly for guys born in 1988-1992 who want to live in 2004-2007 again.

You don't have to call me out like this

Yeah I think that's exactly right. There's definitely the parasocial element as well, especially since those jokes are taboo in real life conversation these days.

What? You've never laughed at a guy taking a football to the groin or something?

I do, and then I flagellate myself because I know it's forbidden
