When did Desus and Mero stop being funny to you
- Thread starter Kilgore Trout
- Start date
The two unnfunniest nikkas Ive ever seen given major opportunities. I assumed they must have just been "safe".
oh? so its a wrap wrapI’ve been a day one D&M fan. It most likely comes from me knowing of Desus back when he used to post on okayplayer. So to see his rise to success feels really good, he’s always been a witty dude.
Now….
I’m glad that the breakup is going public, because the signs have been there for a while. So hopefully they will actually address the situation. My feeling is that Desus realized they can’t give away the podcast for free anymore, it needs sponsorship or something. Giving away the “good stuff” for free devalues anything else they try to do. I think Mero on the other hand sees it as “keeping it real,” and not selling out to keep doing the podcast (for free) to give the people what they want. This is also where their personal lives standings cause friction.
Mero seems to be content/happy with his life, he’s not trying to go “Hollywood.” Desus, on the other hand, is unmarried with no kids, hanging out in other countries with Taylor Rooks, socializing with people like Pharrell at dinners….he sees bigger opportunities.
Desus went and got real entertainment lawyers and agents, Mero is still rolling with Victor. Desus is about to guest host Jimmy Kimmel, Mero’s doing twitch and free podcasts. Mero also has a pilot in the works, but he’s been working on that for about 10+ years.
And the thing is, it doesn’t even matter if Desus does well hosting Kimmel, all that matters is the exposure and networking that comes from it.
Yes, the Showtime show isn’t as funny as the one on Vice, but it has more broad appeal. They’re not interviewing Obama or Denzel on viceland.
That‘s why I’m glad it‘s bubbling to the surface. Hopefully no more subs (primarily from Mero) directed at each other and the industry.
It’s a very Jay/Dame like breakup. In this case Desus is Jay, and Mero is Dame.

I watched the first 2 Showtime episodes to know it wasn't for me, and I was a huge fan of their vice show. It's sad to see them not only breakup but it seems like their is tension behind the scenes.
I think Desus was always destined to be in more hollywood shyt, just look at the people he's around lol.

So it was their manager Victor Lopez that caused the split between the two:
And here I was thinking it was Anna Kendrick all along.

Ain't no way it was over Victor being " a bully" that's Hollywood jargon to put a bullseye on a mf back. Like mero and desus couldn't check Victor or been treat bro like a more important gopher anytime they mentioned him on the podcast foh

WoahI dont know. No ones come out in defense of him. In fact, we've seen more people come out and confirm what was said in that article was true.
This is from their former lawyer yesterday:
What did Tariq do to them?
It's been asked and no one is saying shyt.
did the nikka do?
