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.
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
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.

It's more like reveling in the absurdity of those various bigotries than seriously propagating them, although that's often a very thin line
