I'm watching today's MATI and Jersh plays the classic Cobra hair dye video and Cobes has his whole face blue right before his shift at Wendy's and instead of freaking out or screaming he says near the end "but if anything I hope this video at least gives you a good laugh and helps you appreciate life a little more what can I say? Things could be worse". That was the kind of person Josh was. Despite his rough exterior and gothic bad boy persona he was a kind and caring person beneath. He enjoyed making people laugh. He did care about his fans.

I came home and made a Limeade/Pickle Juice/Cardinal Cherries combo in honor of our boy.

I call it a Sober Cobra. Not half bad, dood.

We loved you, man. You were a silly fucker. I'm sorry about some of the shitty things I've said, you were an alright guy.
 
What's weird is yesterday I rewatched MATI's kingcobra person stream after work for some background noise. Hadn't really thought about cobra recently and I just got a random desire to watch it. Then today I see this.

This is genuinely sad.

I just keep thinking about him being all alone in his final moments. I can't fucking stand it. I feel so bad for this man. It's so fucking pointless: I'm nobody, I couldn't have done anything to help him. Fuck me, I had to stop reading the thread because I couldn't stand to see the downward spiral he was on after that horrid bitch got her claws into him. I feel like I betrayed a friend by looking away. Man, it's so fucked up, and seeing people who'd celebrate his death make me want to just fucking wish the worst fate on all the Redditors involved. I don't know what's really there after death, but I hope he'll finally find the friends he deserved. He was too genuinely good for this world.

ive loved cobes for years and i understand you point but i dont think NAL is the cause, yeah she wasnt a great influence on him but if anyones the cause of death its josh himself. He knew his diet was awful and that he constantly drank.
id like to say "the people actually cared about him like his father would have stopped him" but hes probably tried and failed more times than i can remember.
 
Damn this sucks, I really don't even know what to say other than I unironically thought Cobes was pretty funny some times.

The dude lived his life like he wanted to and wasn't fake about it, I can respect him for that much.

If you really look at it, he was one of the more entertaining people posted on this site, he made us laugh more than most of the degenerates do and I will never forget the first time I saw the hair dye video, that shit was absolutely the peak of Internet comedy whether he meant it to be or not.

The amazing July 4th stream is the stuff of legend.

Gonna break my last cigarette tonight for the BOY.

Rest easy Cobes, I hope it's easier wherever you are now.

It is very hard to help someone who refuses to be helped. The people who cared about him did the best that they could, with a very difficult behavior to accommodate. I've been through that song and dance myself. I've heard that even some therapists will even end their treatment if their patients don't want to be helped, even if that goes against their best interest. You have to be a manipulative person if you want a fighting chance of getting through to someone like that, and I fear that all the people who cared for him also had good hearts.
 
I honestly wonder at what point the reality sets in for Clint, where he realizes the extent he played in enabling his son’s lifestyle that more than likely led to this.
 
Damn... Off and on followed Cobes for many years now. Can't say I'm surprised but didn't expect it so soon. 34 is way too young. In a weird way I really did like that fucker, the true goth bad boy. Can't say I loved the NAL saga but glad he at least broke his dry spell before going. I think it meant a lot to him. I'll hold off on the duster, but going to have a few drinks tonight in his honor🫡🫡🫡
 
I hope that because there's so much long from recorded footage of Josh that in a few years we will be able to recreate him 1:1 with AI. Scoff if you want, but I have a feeling we will meet again.

But bro...I'd fucking suplex my kid if that was what was required to help him. I'd fucking literally fight him and drag him to help if he ends up doing drugs and alcohol even close to what Josh was doing. And I'll do it when he's 12, when he's 30 or when he's 50 or die trying.

So, you get Josh to stop drinking. Now what? He's still an ugly frog thing with autism and retarded. There's only so much a parent can do after creating such a genetic mistake. The boy has to cope somehow and try enjoying what he can from life. Josh got to live his own version of being a rock star, and that's great. Certainly more than most in similar unfortunate circumstances get to.

Clint wasn't perfect and I wish he didn't enable some of Josh's bad habits, but I'll maintain he was a good father with a good heart. Tears me up seeing him announce Josh's death in that video.
 
I’m saddened to see that Josh has passed and Clint’s video, it is sad to see a father mourn the loss of his child. I’m raising a drink combo to you, KingCobra, you’re shredding with Ozzy serenading the Cobra Angels and Cobra demons. There will never be anyone like you again.
