What other christian joking? Do you take them making fun of the fact that "jesus" is in the lyrics a million times as making fun of christianity? Seriously, I re-watched the whole segment because I thought maybe I zoned out from all the bitching, and what I clipped is what I found.

They wouldn't have said a single thing about christianity if Carmen wasn't spun on the wheel - see, it's kindof what the video is about. Despite this, the other nine minutes in the segment have nothing to do with the guy's faith. You are so upset about less than a minute's worth of content that you're going on about double standards and they'd never do this with anyone else and blah blah blah that you're basically suggesting they should have put the video back once they realized it was a christian singer-songwriter. Yeah, not oversensitive at all.

how upset do you think i am i'm on a gossip forum talking about a bunch of 40 year old men watching video tapes from decades ago

its literally more fun to argue with people here then watch the entirety of the last episode

if the christian tape was really that bland and boring they could have just done a re spin would not be the first time in history they go back and pick something more amusing

but again i found nothing really wrong with it outside them grandstanding the gay shit just the same generic chirst jokes

1. People were complaining about the humor being shit because "le christoids" is predictable, one-note and 20 years out of date.
aka it was "humorless", you retard

2. People expressed annoyance at the lame humor.
aka "mad" is you projecting and making a strawman


3. No they don't. You're on a website that was deplatformed by trannies and their enablers you stupid fuck.
aka you "sound" like you are dilating aggressively

You're a disingenuous faggot seething with butthurt because someone said negative things about your hecking ecelebs.

Well, yeah, you're not on the scale of that guy having a nuclear meltdown a page or two ago, but there's no use in fishing for more reactions from low-hanging fruit, you know?

But it wasn't bland and boring. There's a nigger in the house and his name is jesus is funny. The guy looking like Papa John is funny. The ludicrously good production value and the actual, catchy quality of the songs contrasted with the preachy, moralizing content is funny. A high school student fantasizing about her teacher rescuing her from some weird welsh sex-dungeon and stabbing people with a bible-sword who then turn into snakes... which abruptly becomes a texan hoedown after having also been a hip-hop parachute pants extravaganza is funny.

You're calling it "bland and boring" because of the minute I clipped. Sure, that segment isn't funny, but it does explain what's in the tape.
Like they do with every single tape that winds up on the show.

the nigger named jesus bit was funny sure but it also wasnt in the tape it was just there imagination which for some reason they seem to hear the word nigger an awful lot despite hating it lol
 
I would rather watch another Max Landis episode than read 3 pages of religious sperging over a Z-tier evangelical Bulworth.
 
I've never been a religious person, but those 90s Christians were absolutely spot on about the "gay agenda", what we now call LGBTQ+. Everything they said would happen did. If we had listened to them, we wouldn't be in the clown world mess we're in today. I laughed at those guys too in the 90s, but at least I can admit I was wrong now.

I can't think of anything more "punching down" than making fun of Christians in 2023. That's what everyone does now in the media and academia. Their religion is on the ropes. Top headline on the Daily Mail right now is a mall cop kicking out a black man for having a Jesus T-Shirt.

It's fine to laugh at that silly Christian video, but the reactions were crossing into performative wokeness that all those shitty breadtubers do.

I'm not going to unsubscribe from RLM or anything like that, I'm just trying to explain why this is irritating to some people.

People said the same thing about separate drinking fountains as well and look what integration has done to Western civilization. I guess after race mixing, fag marriage, and genital mutilation and transgenders, we have bestiality and furries or maybe 'minor attracted persons' being the next acceptable group of freaks. Can't wait till all of this is undone one day.

If you are looking for cutting edge political takes then RLM is the last place to go. Punching down is literally their entire format. They review the worst possible movies as a goof. Digging through crates of ancient tapes to find abandoned movies and instructional videos and other nonsense that literally no one would seriously entertain reviewing. That is the charm of most of their shows. Them punching up into serious social or political topics would probably kill their brand.

Even stuff like Plinkett or Nerd Crew is still mostly punching down and taking easier shots.

You are correct in that some people are just being babies about a joke over something they care about.

But to me, the Christian jokes are just shit as jokes. I have heard everything they said so many times its boring.

And it isnt just a Christian thing, for a while there humour feels very media friendly, very boring, reflexive towards general appeal. In short, it feels like they are angling for a deal of some sort and are cleaning up the image so its marketable to a mass market. They are also older men now, and thats about the time you start looking to secure shit for yourself in your life and for the later years. I don't condemn them for that at all, its the right move for the average person. But its fucking boring to watch. Now I normally do not care, but a very small part of me is annoyed because they used to be great. Its like when a really good band you like puts out a few shitty albums and you realise the glory days aver truly over and its now shitesville.

If they do a video on a pick up artist, you can already guess the same old jokes they will reuse. Not riffing on situations that occur whilst watching it, but the normal "this is rapey, this is creepy, just talk to women, I bet an ex really broke his heart", you already know how it will play it, because you have seen it already.
 
Something seems ... off about a lot of their content lately. Like they've toned down the wildness of their humor. I don't know if they're changing it for more wider appeal, or just the way Youtube in general seems to be fucking over creators who are the TINIEST bit "edgy". Something about this Best of the Worst just seemed... stale.. boring... and predictable. I'm beginning to think I'm not the only one that noticed.
