  • 1 Star — Absolute disaster. Unwatchable, boring, production fucked it up bad, the fish were lame

    Votes: 58 7.4%
  • 2 Stars — Pretty bad. Some funny moments, dragged, too many vibe repair days. Barely worth checking.

    Votes: 91 11.7%
  • 3 Stars — Average. Solid entertainment in spots, some good chaos and crashouts, but nothing special

    Votes: 177 22.7%
  • 4 Stars — Really good. Lots of hilarious moments, strong fish personalities, solid content and vibes

    Votes: 408 52.2%
  • 5 Stars — Peak Fishtank / Masterpiece. Non-stop insanity, legendary fish and production, pure chaos

Meg is one of the all time worst FT contestants and I have no pity for her. I had none for her when the show was live either, because she did fucking nothing. She was a fan who came on the show with full knowledge of what it was like. Jimmy is a violent retard, and he produces content. If I wanted to watch boring fat women, plenty of modern media offers this.
Ian was her spiritual successor.

Ian was her spiritual successor.
You could at least meme about Ian doing nothing, though. And his argument with Jobe was actual genuine content, better than anything Meg ever did.
 
Takeaways/highlights from the episode 4 edit:
  • Brian is just as insufferable as I remember him being. The woe is me "I'm a loser, I'm a fuckup, waah" "We couldn't get married because I'm a loser!" self pity stuff is nonstop throughout the episode.
  • Brian's ex is one of those people you can see and just immediately know is mentally ill just by seeing their faces. Crypt keeper ass physiognomy and not in a good way like Tai.
  • The editing was overall pretty good but there were a couple moments during the episode where I was confused by continuity related editing issues. There is a part that shows Cole sitting at the bar with everyone right after Meg leaves and he has a beer then like 4 scenes later that don't include him drinking he's shown incredibly drunk puking on the floor of the doghouse room. You can assume what happened but things in the episode are moving so fast it was a bit confusing. People in our chat also mentioned certain funny comments by Jimmy being cut.
  • The attack therapy circle in the living room with Ben and Sam is great. I love the editing where it's cutting between that and the karate sessions with Sullivan was nice.
  • Cole casually playing pong while Brian and his ex are being berated by Trish is hilarious
  • The episode really highlights how much creepy shit Jimmy did with the girls in the tank. Sam has to explicitly tell him to ask for consent before touching women in the tank (foreshadowing much?) I seriously struggle to believe this guy isn't a virgin.
  • Sam roasting Cole for blowing 30k on a lifted truck

This has been driving me a bit crazy and I’m hoping someone’s got a clip. I’ve been looking for any clip of Burt saying “hm, interesting” and I can’t seem to find one anywhere. Unless I’ve somehow Mandela effected myself into believing that’s one of his tics. I seem to recall there was a moment where Mizzy was in the kitchen talking about her sexuality or sexual history and Burt says the line and gets shouted at for being a pervert by Mizzy.

The reason I’m looking for this is because I have been saying “hm, interesting” like Burt by accident and I want to find a sample of this so I can somewhat explain myself. :story:

If I remember correctly Meg got sick and stayed in bed for a whole day more or less before deciding to bail. The Jimmy incident was more peripheral.
I think you're being too harsh. She was probably the first person in the house to try to stir a little bit of shit with her piss cup stunt, which suggests to me that her mind was in it. She was certainly not Ian.
 
Rocco of Mega64 has been doing a weeklong stream called "The Room" very reminiscent of the cell from Fishtank, given that at least a couple members of Mega64 are MDE fans I bet they got the idea from Fishtank.

Rocco is currently asleep on the floor in the corner.
Anyway, it's pretty much what you'd expect, Rocco is trapped inside a room and tortured by the audience sending TTS etc., there is a "flashbang" gimmick that I hope FT copies for future cells:
GUcxxJ3V63oYLe2S.mp4
Overall, it's a very Twitch-ified version of the cell, more sanitized as you'd expect but clearly influenced by FT.

It's interesting seeing Fishtank's influence on other streamers. In the words of Lemmy from Motorhead, who, when asked what he thinks about other bands copying him, replied "good luck to them, maybe they'll do something we can copy later." Garrett showed up last night and lit himself on fire, though maybe the wiggers shouldn't try to copy that.

ETA: in that Josie Anime Expo video she and Jon meet Garrett and head to the Mega64 booth and he fanboys out about FT at them and hooks them up with free shirts so I guess that confirms that.
Mega64 are gay retards who fell into the "heh its totally irony guys we are not actually saying EXACTLY what we feel"
Rocco is one of the worst offenders of this, guy wants to act like he is so above "heh gamers" and "heh anime fans" despite him being even worse a consoomer industry shill and also a troon lover.

I Will Stop.....in 3 min said:
TTS: "Mizzy how tight is your pussy (or something)"
Mizzy: "my pussy is very tight"
Burt: "oh, that's interesting"
Mizzy: "Oh Mah Gawd Shut up Burt!"

Meg would've said the word, or at least laughed with Jobe. Shit, she could schooled Cymbal on streaming Minecraft.

I have a strong memory of him saying it in the penthouse. Like constantly. If this is a Mandela effect, ghost memory, then God help us all.
 
just watched like 20 minutes of the new episode and it reminded me how fake/forced/try hard the fish were the entire season. it really makes me appreciate the organic messes of season 3. i hope they cast normies and not try hard fans for season 4.

the cell challenge was actually invented by ice poseidon, its where sam got the idea for fishtank from in the first place

the perfect season would be the aesthetics of 2 with the fan interactivity of 1 and the cast/"plot" of 3

I believe the Mega64 guys were originally SomethingAwful goons so that's kind of always been their humor, a few old-internet 00s icons were on there. I thought Sam Hyde was an SA goon too though and Im wrong about that, hes just adjacent to old-internet edgelord shit like SA used to be, so idk though. But SA was the birthplace of 'twitter ironic humor' and redacting their furry hate shit and posting an apology that it was mean and all kinks should be respected.

The first half of season 2 is full of this. Brian was arguably the worst offender in this regard. Always on about "making content" and stirring up fake drama. If house drama is obviously scripted I do not care about it period. I get where he was coming from wanting to be entertaining and to keep the show fun to watch but it was just irritating to me. You can't force good drama.
 
Good episode but I feel like they’re trying to make Brian look slightly better than he actually was. When CK shows up he talks about how rough of a time he’s been having but there’s very little shown of the constant negative tts he was getting which was a big reason he ended up staying. The funniest part of that whole fight was when he was whining to production about ruining his life and about how he “can’t quit because the audience will never stop finding him after the show and fucking with him unless he proves himself” or something.

Went through some of my clips...

Here is the one you were recalling with Mizzy, although he says "Really? Interesting"



"Um, hm, interesting" here @ 0:44



And for fun here is "the fuck? Interesting" @ 0:42



Interesting.

Brian really came off as a whiner more than anything watching live. I think he comes off a bit better in the episodes though not by much.
 
I think a lot of people seem to have forgot how boring and just generally sooky Brian actually was due to them liking him during blood games, there was a reason he got constant TTS of "Crying Brian".
