Eric Andre, Connor O'Malley, Gmod videos, Tim and Eric Show, etc. all things that tickle my brain. I can't help but think there's a relationship between enjoying crazy ass content and having a clear understanding of the insane capitalist system I live in.

Sam Hyde is a good example of why absurdist comedy and right-wing philosophy don't mix. Even before I knew he was a Nazi and having grown up with 4chan/South Park, Million Dollar Extreme just felt like an accountant trying to parody Tim and Eric. Contrast this skit of a dumb reporter covering a story with a left-wing example in the same vein like Check It Out or Brass Eye. MDE has that same kind of comedic style and timing that SNL or a sitcom has, a right-winger has been given freedom from creative restraints and they're not a creative person so they take every joke they can think of and throw it into one messy scene which checks the boxes for what a skit should have. They mash together different kinds of humour incoherently and not once even with fresh eyes and thinking Blazing Saddles is Mel Brooks' best film did that skit make me chuckle. Check It Out and Brass Eye both have the same premise but the jokes aren't competing with each other in the same frame. There's a sense of rhythm and cohesion to the scenes even if they're subverting what we expect of those things. It's people that understand that rules are meant to be broken if you can build better rules out of the pieces, rather than someone like Sam Hyde who breaks rules as a crude contrarian but is too bound to comedic tradition to make new ones.
