Gonna be in the made up crowd in NJ cheering over the balkanization of a podcast I never cared about
he just left? i didnt know that, you're telling me now for the first time, he had an amazing run what else can you say, whether you agree with him or not, he made some amazing jokes, im actually sad to hear that
blue jean baby, L.A. lady, Seamstress for the band
Thank god that Albanian hater left the pod, now I can enjoy Cumtown without all the ugly bigotry.
Cumtown exists in its own metaverse where ironic "-isms" are allowed and frequently hilarious. By any objective measure the podcast is obscenely racist, homophobic, ableist etc and not funny in the slightest. I loved every second of it. Stav's laugh made the podcast. I never listened to new episodes but the clip farms on youtube are gunna dry up sad day.
It's more like reveling in the absurdity of those various bigotries than seriously propagating them, although that's often a very thin line
And they walk that line in such an impressive way, it's great. Nick's so quick on his feet too. On the episode I was listening to today, a guest brought up Christian gay conversion therapy camps. Nick goes (paraphrasing, he did it way funnier)
N: "oh not a Jewish one"
Adam: "those exist too"
N: (mimicking voice of preacher) "Hey there little Timmy, here's $4..." And then he'd be sweating, "..5 dollars?" "No I am still gay" {stav loses it} "6 dollars?" "OKAY I AM NOT GAY ANYMORE JUST GIVE ME THE MONEY"
Guest: anyway, christian gay conversation camp
And that's just a tiny throwaway bit. Nick's bits about Chinese or Jewish people are always so absurd , and he pulls it off. Magnifique
VERY fine line which is why i understand why people would be seriously turned off by it. But im a fuckin asshole who loves nick's african guy voice.
red scare is unlistenable and I've never seen it seriously recommended
yes I love the show where two Brooklynites with cigarette voice call everything cucked
One thing that is often understated about them (and chapo really) is that they're sort of the perfect representation of millenials. Like a pretty strong belief in minority rights and lgbt rights, while also calling your friend gay is just what a lot of millenials were like growing up. Like a surprisingly apt distillation of a generation.
Its ok to find it funny. You dont have to self flagellate yourself by doing weird "i know by any objective measure it wasnt funny in the slightest because it was problematic" disclaimers. Nick is legit a brilliant comedian and the chemistry was great
Nick is a sociopath who was constantly on the brink of tearing the podcast apart by being an asshole and a control freak. Good riddance. Looking forward to the rise of Stav.
Don't think I've ever laughed at anything as hard as I laughed at the trans incel African lobster bit
Death to America
Yeah, stav has been more angry at Adam in recent episodes. Idk if the podcast can survive without him. Someone needs to moderate between Nick and Adam and laugh at Nick's jokes. I know that they were planning on phasing out the pod anyways, but I didn't think it would be piecemeal like this.

Without the Stav Laugh? Its basically just Dudes Do Red Scare.
It's the tagline for the site's official podcast :citations-needed:
podcast that is funny but you should never listen to beyond clips, it will make you gay
Amber, Felix, and Nick shared a Brooklyn Apt during season 1 I think.
Yep. Chapo and Cumtown started around the same time from the same group of friends. Nick and Virgil go way back. Nick also lived with Dasha or Anna Keychain so Red Scare comes out of the Chapos too. Brace Belden also hung out with Chapos before TrueAnon. It's all one group of people.
Because you think you'll get a bigger share of the money, right? You beep
It’s a podcast that’s even worse than CTH. Shock jock bruhs who think it’s funny to use slurs
The most recent episode was released before Stav announced his departure, but you can tell they already know he's left (Adam says something about "our friend Stav" which is a weird way to describe the longtime co-host of the show), and the episode is dire. Like they're going to need to get a new co-host or arrange a guest for all the remaining episodes because the show just doesn't work without him. It hardly works anyway. Losing Stav seems like a death-blow to me.
I saw his standup with friends once and he was pretty good but I listened to an episode of cumtown at the gym once and I thought it was horrible
So good for Stav i guess
He's usually pretty funny when I hear him on other podcasts, like chapo trap house or tmbs (RIP Michael), but I can never get through a cumtown episode either.
My only exposure to Cumtown is when Stav or Adam goes on Chapo, and Stav is manifestly more talented than Adam who is both very annoying and very dumb. Also, since they have never invited Nick on, I can only assume he is like Sam Hyde levels of not-PC.
Nick has been on CTH
but only in controlled circumstances like as a voice part on a holiday episodeEDIT: I forgot about Eyes Wide Shut episode, I haven't listened to it yet waiting to watch the movie first
Lol that explains it, I listen to most of them but always skip the movie episodes unless is a weird conservative movie I'm not going to watch.
Lol that's not true, Nick was on to review Eyes Wide Shut this year, and was on to talk about Epstein like 2 years ago. He's not on Chapo often, but he's on the guest list.
Stav is manifestly more talented than Adam who is both very annoying and very dumb
Explains why I always identified with Adam.
I had a dream I was a cumtown host, but I was even lower on the social heirarchy than Adam and even this other host who was an asian woman comedian that was only on like 1 out of 5 episodes.
good for stavvy, love him, never had an interest in :volcel-judge:-town. he's too much of a decent person for that, and his stand-up is starting to pop off.
Never liked Cumtown , but goddamn if his special didn't have me in stitches
I've never managed to listen to a whole episode but some of the choice bits on youtube are pretty funny.
some of the humor there is from seeing how offensive and off-topic they can be during an ad read and still keep the advertiser
they once had an advertiser called Thursday Boots but Nick said something about wearing them to kick-fuck a child
It seemed like 90% of the episodes I heard was them trying to read an ad for Blue Chew and getting interrupted by randomness. Maybe that’s the point
That, and Adam shitting himself.
