The Guy Who Over-Pronounces Foreign Words

I cannot wait to try the food here The reviews have been incredible Okay, What's good? Ah, I've heard good things about the Proshute Um, also the Caprese Also the Mozzarella sticks Uh, and the Bruschetta! Uh, and the garlic bread. Do you mean Bruschetta? Yeah, Bruschetta. Why are you saying it that way? That's how it's supposed to be pronounced. People like it when you embrace their cultures, it's very respectful. Oh! they have Linguine! Okay. Talking to you is embarrassing and I wanna change the subject. Have you guys eaten in this neighborhood before? Actually, right next door, there's an amazing Spanish restaurant They do the best Tapas and Gazpacho. You mean Tapas and Gazpacho. Yeah, that's what I said: Tapas and Gazpacho. That is NOT what you said! And one block down there's a Sushi restaurant that you have to try. That is racist. It's not racist! Look if anything, it's less racist I'm not imposing my Anglicized pronunciation on these foreign words Like some sort of linguistic Conquistador. Okay, I think I'll hide in the bathroom for the rest of the night. No! Adam c'mon! I had a great night planned We're gonna get dinner Then we're gonna go get some Strudel Then we would go to the pub And I'll buy you Vodka shots And then we will go get Strudel. You already said Strudel. Did I? Hmm, Deja-Vu! Then we go do some Karaoke Pat, I know you do an amazing edition of Nirvana's rape me. Nirvana is an American band! But it's a Hindi word! Asshole! I can't do this. I need to leave. No! Adam, c'mon, at least stay for coffee The traffic is so bad in Los Angeles We can go to the Starbucks next door, alright? We can get some Frappuccinos, or some Cappuccinos Or a Croissant. Croissant. Croissant. Croissant! Croissant. Croissant!! I wanna hit him! Can I hit him? Trapp, you sound like a horrible person right now. I'm sorry Mea culpa I guess I committed a huge Faux-pas I don't know if the fung shui here is off or something But you all are getting really angry with me so why wouldn't we call it a "?" And we'll all have a little Bow Wow And then we can call an Uber Offending you was never my Goaaaaaal We're... Not ready to order yet. Several of our guests have requested that you leave. Mama Mia!

Damn I used to love Jake and Amir on CollegeHumor (a show that Sam Reich was great in) sad to see where it’s at now. The Badman sketches were threat as well

Lots of unemployed comedians with time on their hands? At least the Reddit comment section will get funnier.

I'm more surprised they had 100 employees to begin with. How on earth did they make enough money to hire 100 people with so little views in the past few years?

[u/[deleted]]

Wow, kind of surprising but kind of not surprising at the same time. The videos have gone up and down in quality over the years but this is kind of the end of an era in a lot of ways.

I guess they went all in on drop out and it didn’t work out.

from 2008 to 2011 I missed the early youtube days and newgrounds because of the collegehumor website, id just let it play the queue for hours glued to my laptop. They had some choice vids, and their hardly working sketches were my favorite. This was the first comedy website that ruined TV for me. As they grew and got new people I didn't really like the comedy anymore. The main thing is that it did not feel subversive anymore. They tried to be mainstream and tackle a lot of social and cultural issues. While these topics are important, you can still be funny while being subversive against the dominant ideology, but since most of the people at CH were vying for their big show business breakthrough, they HAD to toe the line and play the game. Like adam ruins everything; that shit is interesting as fuck but the jokes land as hard as the jokes my writing adjunct professor would tell. Steering clear of these issues is good enough, a comedy channel preaching wokeness is not funny. Two of my favorite vids linked below:

And it's Facebook and his deceived metric practices responsible for this mess

And Jake, Amir, Emily, (Ryan Creamer is a cast member too???) and a whole bunch of others.

EDIT: According to Dropout, Brennan is the ONLY cast member who stayed, and he'll still be making content. What a legend.

It should also be mentioned that they aren't 100% dead and were close to being profitable, so Sam Reich has said that there's still 6 months worth of content for them to upload and he's still trying to salvage the company in that timeframe.

If you care enough, he's said the best way to support them is supporting their streaming platform Dropout where they put all their stuff - and this isn't just the comedy sketches you always see, they also do gameshows, comedy webseries, an animated show and most famously Drawfee and Dimension 20 - a DnD series similar to Critical Role that's really underrated imo.

TIL Americans pronounce it 'croi-sawnt' with a hard 't'. Most places I've lived people say 'croi-sawn'.
