nothing makes me post harder and be more dispised than the hard times. This is their funniest page though
Never listened to Cum Town and I will never start lol
They are really funny when they go on other shows, but the actual pod is best summed up with:
"Huhhhuhuhuhuh... uhuhuhuh... Balls. Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuuhuuh. Huhuhuhuuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh. Balls."
Cumtown is great
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.
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.
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.
You don't have to call me out like this
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 know I shouldn’t be laughing but I do anyway.
jesus christ
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
I'm pretty sure the founder of The Hard Times was in a band with Brace at one point
Brace is good friends and was in a band with one of the current drummers in Oh Sees
Yeah Dan DJ'ed at their LA show and was on one of Yung Chomsky's streams. Then Brace joined and they told some stories. Also, Oh Sees are probably my favorite band ever and are awesome people.
