I dont find Speed funny at all, but him being popular makes sense. Growing up with the Internet, the 4 C.H.A.N/forum/meme humor, and adult swim has made the youts extremely irreverent. Nothing is to be taken seriously, up to and including social mores. No matter how obvious it is that their fav youtube personalities are acting for the camera, the fact that they are subverting a expected behavior is where the humor comes in.

In a weird way this is the logical evolution of surrealist humor like Eric Andre and Tim and Eric, except without the dry humor and subtle element of satire/parody.

Its why comedy movies are a dying breed. Millenials and Gen X are far too fractured in beliefs and Zoomers dont find setups, punchlines, observational humor, romcom/brocom hybrids (apatow movies) and biting satire very funny.

how you in our kids life AND swole and he still turn out like that

your kid supposed to be scared of doing shyt like that infront of you

i guess speed calls the shots in the house and pays the bills now

"Net Worth Spot estimates IShowSpeed earns an estimated $1.11 million per year from his channel's AdSense factoring that he averages 8.43 million views a month, and around 614.38 thousand views a day. Based on the average amount of $3-$7 that is paid per thousand views, the IShowSpeed YouTube channel can generate an estimated $73,000 thousand a month and over $1 million a year in ad revenue.



Other sources state Speed earns an average of somewhere near $2 million each year from YouTube alone."

He's the man of the house, now. :wow:

All of this. Especially relevant with how things blow up nowadays. You can condition the youth to like objectively mediocre things simply if you make memes about how bad something is. The popularity of making fun of something turns it into a hit. Then there are active efforts to legitimize the mediocrity as well by shutting down any criticism of it as being out of time or simply hating. Before long the standards continue to lower and the history of those standards disappear, so more mediocrity gets pushed out. As younger generations grow up with these lesser “products” they are so inundated with trash that they are eventually wowed by new things that aren’t new as their predecessors were doing it in the past but it was forgotten.

Time is really a sin sometimes because it allows people to forget or not study history. The gatekeepers don’t pass on that rules, the lessons, and that history of their times. So we have this classic Rinse and repeat every couple decades. Except now, you can watch the decline happening in real time and faster because of technology.

This happens when you raise your kids in white supremacy.
On god, this is the truth.

Lowkey, if your teenage son has any proximity to cacs nowadays, especially if they really be on the twitch/youtube/cod/apex/minecraft pipeline...they prolly ok with some c00n shyt to a certain extent :francis:

Like "Candace Owens and Kanye make good points" :jbhmm: type of shyt.

Like "I dont mind and even encourage my white friends calling me nikka cuz its funny :troll:" type of shyt.

Hell on some level, I think even this Speed kid has a element of c00ning to his brand. I wouldnt say its c00ning per se, theres nothing explicitly racist about his humor.... but I know cacs pretty well and I cant NOT think part of the appeal is that hes a brash, bugeyed, uncontrollable negro.

great breakdown…I’ve seen these type of kids in high school dating back to at least 10 years ago…and this is just my experience (not a rule) but they all grew up in the suburbs mostly around white kids and their friends were white kids or other black kids who grew up similar to them
