That episode was fantastic and I can't wait for the mra's to find out about it and flip out.

Edit: Has there ever been an episode about crazy feminists? I feel like there would be a lot of material there too.

Actually, the feministisation of our society means we're not allowed to make fun of women. No feminist episodes, sadly.

The Reddit content was probably in the many, many submissions on the topic that they didn't use on account of being too awful.

Which, now that I think about it, is kind of impressive. Just for all the wrong reasons.

You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
drat, I could feel the hate. It was an entertaining subject, but definitely one they don't need to ever cover again. Let's have some nice non-toxic fanfiction or something next time. Please?

Also, I found the "2 the ranting gryphon" rant from the 100th episode, and god drat:
1) did/do all his audios have that background music that makes him sound like a radio dJ, or was that something the youtube uploader added?

2) They should have mentioned that he sounds like 21 from Venture Bros!

Honestly, if any of y'all are really jonesing for more MRApists to mock, Manboobz is actually pretty good. It says a lot, though, that even a dude who's committed himself to pointing at and mocking these dumbshits has to take a break from time to time to post cute cats and whatnot just so he's not responsible for the death of his or any reader's soul.

I swear to god, listening to that episode last night almost gave me a hunchback just from completely deflating with an "Oh for gently caress's sake" every couple of sentences. I remember almost thinking like those pricks too... when I was like 16.

Yes they do, and (anticipating your next couple of questions) yes they always have terribly jarring edits, and yes he always screeches like his balls are caught in a vise.

HOWEVER, the extended material is about Matt Moulton (the adult baby fetishist in part 2), so let that temper your decision.
I'm not surprised! When he was regularly upping his poast count on the Portal of Evil forums (R.I.P.), he was the gift that kept on giving, or the diaper that kept on leaking. The blue sunglasses...the $4,000 hat...the Dairy Queen obsession...the adult-baby-themed RPG Maker game...such marvelous memories. :allears:

Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Oh my god! I had completely forgotten about the hat!

The Dairy Queen stuff was brilliant: The entire idea that someone would lie about being the manager of the Dairy Queen they worked at to strangers on the internet was just so beautiful.

I think it says a lot about Moulton's sheer incompetence that he still seems to believe Flash is a viable tool for website coding...

Up now, a new episode where are few of our readers get together on location in San Francisco and try out some strange hippie raw-food recipes.

It was recorded live, but it is not F Plus Live. Sorry.

It's an embarrassment of riches, they cooked some of this garbage!

As a foodie (read: arrogant fat guy) I love the food episodes, because no matter how lovely my splurges become, I'll always feel better thinking 'yea, I didn't eat something that was basically ranch dressing and mayonnaise today, I'm doin ok'.

Wow, I didn't expect F Plus Comma Live to go as amazingly well as it did. A food episode was probably perfect for it.

I'm not one for cooking at all, but when you get stuff like the Dorito Sandwich I kind of can't hate it too much. It's simple, but I at least trust everything in it. The raw food dishes... not so much.

The idea that someone actively wrote down a Dorito Sandwich as if this was something people needed to know, not so much. That's just something you make for fun when bored at home as a kid, like peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches (which I should note is difficult to eat, they turn into a very mucky goop that makes chewing hard).

The podcast's tagline is "Terrible Things Read With Enthusiasm". In the American school system, an F is a failing grade. An F+ would be a failing grade, but a high failing grade at least.

I was wondering why you guys hated the MRA episode so much, because I listened to it and it wasn't nearly as bad as the stuff I've seen, and it's not anywhere near as gross as some of the really... outstanding episodes. But I think I've got it now, cause it's just a bunch of assholes and their poo poo shows up everywhere. They're not a bunch of creepy dudes who have really strange idea about insects, they're a whole bunch of nerdy jerks who fan out into every corner of the internet spewing patriarchal sexism and talking like they're the humans in the matrix. It's not that it's gross, it's that they're just infuriatingly prolific and love to talk about how they're so oppressed.

It's also that they're not just harmless weirdos like the bug-fuckers or the adult babies or the gangstalkees, those people are just independently messed up in a way that really is only on them and anyone who voluntarily hooks up with them. MRApists are actively striving to be poisonous to society, and their hosed-up attitudes and actions are directly aimed at other people, not themselves.

It's one thing to be an independent unit of hosed-brainedness, it's entirely another to try to harm others through your hosed-brainedness.

They're also the most legitimately damaging group ever looked at in the podcast. The asexuals might be infuriating in how they devalue the GLBT community and cause, but they aren't actively ruining it. A lot of the fetishists focused on in various episodes are fetishising things that are illegal, immoral or unhealthy, but they aren't actually having sex with animals or children or making people ludicrously fat for sexual reasons (I hope).

These guys are straight-up misogynists, they and their type have been loving up society for women for centuries, and continue to do so in their own way. They fact they aren't directly enforcing their worldview anymore is a small consolation given what they've done in the past, and what they do in more subtle ways today. Of every group covered in the podcast thus far, only these guys and the bad mothers are the ones tangibly worsening people's lives.

EDIT: What he said.

Yea, I found the episode hilarious because they totally shat all over the misogynists and everything they said, but it was rough to listen to at times because these dudes 100% legit hate women and there's no 'oh gross that's how he gets off' or 'why is he rambling about sueing the Kardashians for being Taliban?' to dull it.

It's like if they did a Stormfront episode, I'm sure it'd be funny, but it'd also be profiling a straight up hate group so it kinda needs a different mindset to listen to than, say, lovely food.

"I googled toilet, and I'm still not finding anything..."

That really did save the episode at times when things just got too angry and less funny.

Also, I love how just speechlessly flustered Adam was by the end, kinda like the Monkids episode, but with more hate.

If you like that, he used to do a podcast back in the day, called '2 Sense' (geddit???). I think the episode counter got up into the triple digits, as well - I know he used to be on something called Rant Radio at some point. Was a bizarre mishmash of furry in-jokes, shock-jock libertarianism and bizarre advice column feedback. I think there used to be an SA thread about him somewhere, too.
