    King guy is so resentful he instructed the executioner to use the smallest, shittiest axe ever for a decapitation.

    You know, make sure it takes a few very messy hits. Maybe he requested an extra blunt edge too.

    Youtube for some reason started pushing roast shorts to me. 90% of it just racist shit with an uncomfortable audience laughing. I hope they take me off that reel at some point, as they’ve removed the downvote button

      That, I think, demonstrates the duality of roasting. You have to go for the obvious, the low hanging fruit but do it in a way that brings something else than just: duh-huh black, duh-huh gay, duh-huh ugly etc

      The only roaster I’ve watched purely for his roasts is Greg Giraldo - a now dead, ex lawyer, drug addict who only got into comedy because he thought he could do better than what he was going out to watch.

          Are you logged in?

          I use these quite regularly and they’ve always worked just fine for me.

          ‘Don’t recommend channel’ in particular has pretty consistently removed channels from my recommended list… (As long as I refresh the page afterwards)

      My wife has been showing me TikTok videos of black guys asking things like, “guess what I do for work,” and the responses are every bit as racist as you’d expect.

      She thinks it’s everyone making fun of racists and black people owning the jokes, but to me it looks like attempts to normalize overt racism.

        Yep. I keep seeing videos of some british guy going around asking international students / workers, “what’s a word that you find hard to pronounce”, and initially it’s played off as cute, but after the fifth person, it’s clear that he’s doing it to mock them as he’s pretty strong in how he corrects them…

        there is a narrative to normalize this kind of “us first” behaviour…

      You curate your YouTube algorithm by revising your watch history. Delete the initial roast videos you watched and it shouldn’t recommend then anymore
