This shit is getting old. It's not funny, it's not amusing, it just makes me roll my eyes.

I dunno why but Mike refusing to like Mr. T was somehow more funny than it shouldn't be? He literally called Mr. T retarded like at least twice. I do agree with the other guys though I have a soft spot for Mr. T. Sure he's probably the closest thing we have to a genuine black autist who became famous but like they said he seems to never had any scandals so he never veered into lolcow behavior either. I kinda agree with fat Josh too the material wasn't that good they were working with I'm kinda surprised they kept going with Body Blade with the exception of a few gags at the beginning. My biggest nitpick of this vid is they talked about Body Blade too much for not that much payoff (yeah yeah slap to the nuts jokes). Shame since there looked like a lot of good videos on that wheel. I was hoping to get that McSweeney Self Defense one of Tiger Moves fame.

e.t.a. I cannot stress this enough: he was/is an actor who parlayed his success in the Rocky franchise into TV stardom via the A-Team -- the fact that he had a physical and characterologically enduring and endearing presence meant that he was a natural for licensing opportunities, sure, but he was an actor, a real, working actor.

Mr. T’s WE WUZZing about his chains is actually less cool than the actual reason for them which was started as a collection of necklaces he’d tear off of dudes he roughed up bouncing.

This was a pretty big deal at the time, too:

Not a huge hit or anything, but a relatively high profile production cruising on Mr. T's fame. It released in 1984.

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I'm curious to see how dismissive they are of Mr. T's stardom. This is a much more glaring oversight than not knowing Cynthia Rothrock. Mr. T was a legitimate icon of the 1980s. Some Gen X'ers these guys are!

Mr. T kept getting asked the same questions over and over about his hair and style choices, so I think he and his people came up with some kayfabe answers that sounded good.

Mr. T was a good role model, especially for black boys that grew up fatherless. Many other so-called black role models of the 80s turned out to be huge pieces of shit like Bill Cosby and Michael Jackson. We could use more guys like him.
 
Fun episode. Too bad they picked some of the worst ones on the wheel. I wouldn't mind them dropping Hitb for more Botw.

Not sure how I feel about Rich talking about Trump being in jail. Not that I really care either way, I'm just tired politisperging invading media I like that never really talked about it before.

That little dance where Mr. T twists his head activated my sleeper agent subroutine.

It's the same one that's in the old ventrilo harassment with kickstart my heart and captain planet. One of the first YouTube videos I ever watched. (At 0:47)

 
"Red Letter Media are not medical professionals," they say while disclaiming their low opinion of the Body-Blade.

Unspoken: three of the four people at this table are dumpy fatsos.
