🐟 Fishtank Fishtank.Live General - Jet Neptune's Pisces Aquarium Internet Reality Show w/ Host Bam Margera

[EenGevolg]

Anyone else start off really liking Ben and then by the end of season 2 just thinking he was being a fucking asshole for no reason? It also clearly wasn't even a bit he seemed genuinely sick of the fish and pissed off.

Ben has a lot of potential comedically (content house record, metal in the wood, TTS, pretending to board up Fatty after Tay did it, etc.), but the TJ beef left a sour mood on me in terms of him as a person. TJ's an inexperienced retard, going physically full force on him was petty and dangerous.

As a sidenote, I might be retarded, but I can't help but wonder what Sam had in mind in terms of a comedy routine with Shinji. They had some pretty natural-feeling comedic chemistry throughout the show, and a few similarities in spite of Shinji barely knowing anything about Fishtank let alone Sam. This clip almost felt like a companion piece to the video Sam made for that fake MLP Kickstarter (audio warning for mic peaking/earrape).

First time listener, long time Fishtank watcher. I checked out this episode because I didn't want to hear Jon in the most recent ep... what even is this? What's the point? It's literally guy friends who want to turn their hangout session into a "podcast." Literally a fucking meme.

I'm not able to watch more, can't say I hate Ben proper from this but he is obnoxious as far as I've listened. Can't take any more...

Whats with those forced attempts to make Chris Lynch some sort of eceleb? I'm genuinely convinced Jet & friends have some sort of blackmail on Sam.

I don't think you can really fault the fish for bringing up "making content" and focusing on it so much. I remember Jet telling Trish when she was in the dog house to not worry about being entertaining and making content, he wanted the fish to just be themselves because "that's real" and that Fish Tank is about 'real' people etc. Jet told her that it was the producers job to worry about entertainment. He seemed to genuinely mean that.

The problem is that what Jet said to Trish goes against everything else he and Sam and Ben had been berating the fish about for weeks. Almost every day Jet, Sam, and/or Ben would tell the fish how boring they are, how the audience wants entertainment, how being entertaining and gaining fans is important, etc. At first you could maybe excuse it as a bit, but then it became obvious that the crew meant it. The crew wanted the fish to be non-stop content generating machines and were genuinely getting pissed when yelling and insulting the fish didn't make them anymore entertaining.

Outside of someone like Jimmy who is a special kind of non-stop sperg, you can't expect most people to be dynamic and engaging 24/7, especially when the main reason things are so boring and tense is due to the crew's lack of planning and ever changing rules.

nothing
he knows comedy duos are a thing in Japan, he was weebin for all his fellow weebs and his weebin self
he might as well have said "we're gonna have some sushi after this, and BIG big daikon, soy sauce umami yes? GIRUGAMESH!"
passing, throwaway way of ingratiating himself

tbh it's an extremely smart play by Chris Lynch
there's no force in the attempt, he's just doing it

 

[curbside2]

He's 11 years younger than her, if it's the same guy. He also had that long text from her about how she wanted him to break her; TTS had read part of it, and she said, "love you too."

Yes, that guy, she made it clear multiple times that she wasn't joking and that he's abusive.

This podcast has the vibe of three teenagers getting stoned while mom is at work and then monosyllabically debating for an hour about who's going to order the pizza.

 

[eatler]

then take that premise totally seriously and never give a wink-wink nudge-nudge to lampshade how ridiculous it is?

Well half of the problem with making jokes in this era too is if you make a joke that may be considered offensive you have to repent on spot because you will get mauled by screeching. You either have to apologise to the people your with or if your on the internet you have to puppy dog eye the camera and go "I sorry I give money to black trans gwoop hopefully now they can afford their hot cheetos"

Yea he's doing a good job being an MDE wigger. Just thought it was weird how Sam had a Chris tweet spree not long before the fishtank s2 trailer dropped. It must've been Chris month

Also someone else was saying they had four contestants for too long this season - they had Jimmy until the 22nd day, and last season they lost Damiel on the 20th. Given they ended this season a day early they had four contestants for three fewer days and seemed to literally end because they couldn't take the drag any longer.

I agree that the time period is about the same as S1 but remember that S2 moved at a far more accelerated pace and had far more hostility built into it than S1. Of the remaining fish only Tay and Shinji were genuinely interesting people, capable of having good conversations and antics entertaining enough to fill the time, the production staff had made a choice to separate them from each other which actively killed any sort of content towards the end. The vibe in S1 was that they're all friends going through a really strange set of circumstances, the vibe in S2 was just trying to get the fish to tear eachother apart and it kinda killed any attempts at the fish just socializing for its own sake. Shinji and Tay just merely worked together for revenge on Fatty, not out of genuine joy in working with each other any longer. The vibes were totally different in the back half of both seasons.

Production getting mad at the fish for breaking the fourth wall when Sam and co. were doing it all the fucking time themselves. Talk about mixed messages.

Tbh I like Chris Lynch. Yeah he's kind of dull and can't read well, but I liked his positive interactions with the fish and his performance in Lynching For Love was good. He's not about ego or clout like Jet is, so he gets a pass from me.

Chris Lynch, the entertainer, is noticeably unpushy
rather it's a running joke of Sam's to goof off on his unassuming nature and make contradictory statements about Chris Lynch, the podcaster looking for love
tbh the wiggers aren't hustling enough to carve out their own corners of efame, Chris Lynch is doing the minimum of getting the best out of the know-how, the streaming toys he already has, of his proximity to Sam, the related figures and Sam's captive audience
where's the Jetcast? Cooking with Chip? the Bicci Laker show?

 

[eatler]

Chris is inoffensive is what I put it as he could be cool but as of right now he's just kind of crew. He could also learn all the wrong things and be like Jet where Jet tries mimicking Sam.

Chris Lynch being just a decent guy who hanged out with the fish had more of an impact on TJ than all of Sam's and Jet's forced growth arc attempts. His drunken statement of "Whoever fucks with Greg is fucking with me" stopped TJ cold and made him reassess how the tank had been affecting his morals, he followed Chris to the basement like a puppy when he was leaving for the night, then went to confessional and talked about how he had just realized that he was screwing with a mentally retarded guy for entertainment, and he didn't want to be a part of that any longer. Then he got a bit more depressed as he was sobering up and did his art critique in B1. Just a small bit of positivity there had a dramatic effect on TJ as a person far more than all of the Lubecooch dog piles and negativity from Ben and Jet.

You could contrast this with how Tay was just fed negativity the whole time only for Sam to come in at the last hour and try forcing some sort of leadership arc ending for her. The problem is, Tay was already a leader in the early season. She tried helping Summer during her mental break, she tard wrangled Jimmy away from stuff that would cause him to rage, when she saw Britney was being really inconsistent in her mannerism she went to warn TJ him that she may be sent there as a succubus to see if he had learned from the Taylor experience, she tried bringing TJ into the boxing training without prompting, she was consistently the team leader for events and made sure to pick people she was actively irritated with just to bury the beef and keep them included. By the time Sam tried giving her that growth arc stuff she had been ostracized from the other fish and it was just impossible to reconcile the whole thing.

Did you not read the Lubecooch comments he left on rule34?

Spoiler: Rant

Talking about horse cock and the sick shit he wants to do to his aunt, mother and daughter? Sure, the dude is young, retarded and growing up in a sick twisted society, but that kind of degenerate behaviour must be addressed with overwhelming force and shame lest he gets the idea that shit is in any way acceptable.

If someone is that deviant to not only think that shit but go as far as write out a comment about doing it then they're already on the path to being a sexual predator. Just looking at that shit is disgusting let alone writing about how he fantasizes recreating it. Would you leave him alone with a little girl, knowing full well that not only has he jacked off to porn where he's inserted himself as fucking his own younger daughter, but has gone as far as confirmed this deviant arousal and intentions in writing? Probably not, because normal people don't write shit like that, only pedos and faggots who prey on the innocent do.

Ben didn't go far enough. Neither did Sam or Jimmy. They should have at least given him the Simmons treatment instead of coddling his retarded faggot ass but I suspect his equally degenerate and retarded TJ Maxxers who spent the most on the site convinced the wiggers to hold back to appease the pay pigs and keep the money rolling in.

 

[Jobama]

went to confessional and talked about how he had just realized that he was screwing with a mentally retarded guy for entertainment, and he didn't want to be a part of that any longer.

TJ saying “I’m almost afraid Oliver Dollars have led me down the wrong path” is one of the funniest lines of the show. No one else could have said that with a straight face. Also, Oliver was actually a pretty good free loader. He had an entertaining B plot but never overshadowed the fish like Chris did.

Good to see nothing was learned from the hysteria around Simmons last season.

Jimmy Q&A on Cvatik's Discord. Cvatik is the scammer who reaches out to each person as they exit the show to try to take advantage of them. Jon fell for it in season 1.

The problem is that Fatty was somewhat forced into this position when Chris points became real. He was a background character before and after the Chris points, Shinji, Tay, and Trish were ready and willing to assert dominance any time Chris overstepped his bounds. The first time was Tay's Tuesday dogpile day. Shinji rang the bell and put him in the doghouse only for Shinji, Tay, and Trish to hurl mustard, grits and spoiled milk on him in the doghouse which caused him to declare he was leaving, which immediately got derailed by Tay getting accused of smoking weed when she went into the gooncave to get eggs to smash on Frank's head since he had just arrived. You can't forget Tay nailing him into the Goon Cave or Shinji and Tay hurling slop on him multiple times in a single day.

Fatty can get annoying really quick but Trish, Tay, and Shinji continously slapped him back into a background state which was quite refreshing and where he operates best.

Reason I have beef with this thread: speging about gay fucking shit

Apparently there was a stream of ASF walking through the house detailing the damage to the house and how he would fix it. THIS IS WHAT I WANT OT READ ABOUT HERE, NOT YOUR GAY THEORIES ABOUT JIMMY FUCKNIG DOGS. Its great you all want to fox poetic about what happened in the tank post happening but maybe instead talk about what the fuck is actually happening. Shit is actually still happening and you all are sperging out about how TAY BASED JIMMY WAS RIGHT THO BRIAN HE COOL.

Can we get back to decent archival shit instead of arguing about S2 shit that has been covered, discussed, and reobserved OVER AND OVER.

edit: why im mad: "this is the best palce to talk about fishtank" Not currently, no.

 

[Sicko Hunter]

What do you even mean "what the fuck is actually happening"? the show is over. The only new content is social media updates. Shut up faggot.
