When did Desus and Mero stop being funny to you

[L&HH]

Personally their style was never for me. I appreciated their uniqueness and tried to support in the beginning just because but I never made it past a few episodes. I wil say some of their interviews on their show was cool in short bits.

I knew people would turn on them for being successful.. never fails.

It's the Coli way.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

It used to be my crack

 

[Carlton Banks]

Didn't even know who they were until the beef with akademiks

 

[EBK String]

The last Drink Champs with Redman was one of their best interviews ever actually...


This what I mean... dumping on people as soon as they get a break. Desus and Mero have fallen off so badly in a few months? I doubt it..


As soon as Budden signed to Spotify he was getting trashed on here

corporate influence is never good for entertainment

Honestly Tariq.

But realistically they spent too much time off the air. Although Vice was fukking them over they actually earned their stripes for being consistent on a daily basis.

They were off the air for 8 months. That’s really not that long a period of time.

Yes it is. 3/4s of a year breh in the Internet age

Vice fukked them over by making the show extra political. I used to listen to them before it was 2 black men around my age riffing on sports, hiphop, and pop culture, if I wanted to listen to politics there were a million other podcasts and YouTube shows to listen to.

But vice had them interviewing every flavor of the month politician, the beginning of the show turned into the same 10 minutes of lame orange cheeto jokes that every other late night show was doing. They started rocking with the clout leeches over at "woke" black twitter and became corny to their original audience. And without good topics to discuss and them just winging it, everybody realized Mero wasn't funny and kind of corny.

Good on them boys for getting that bag but their audience is more nikka nerd and the type of black people that check on the Mueller report everyday for 2 years straight and repost memes from occupy democrats. But if 2 dope queens can get a 2nd season on a cable network they should be ok.

i saw one of their little shows where they were commenting on a bunch of pictures, it was funny for like 10 minutes then it got corny real fast. They come off like "safe" black office clowns.

But you gotta deal with it, especially since in this case, their podcast is free. At a certain point they were gonna blow up and dealing with a big network was gonna change things some. Some people always get tired of an act when it becomes successful because you feel it ain’t yours or exclusive to you in particular anymore. What’s gonna happen eventually is the same thing that happens with rappers, actors, etc. You look for a new hero that hasn’t blown all the way up yet because they have zero restrictions and then champion them until they blow up. It’s a never ending cycle.

Then no TV show would have any lasting power. Many shows are off for 6 months or more. You got shows like GoT and Atlanta off for 18 months at a time. In this case, they retooled what they did with the show and moved to a different network. That takes time. All the while, their flagship podcast was on every week, so in the Internet age they didn’t really go anywhere

But it's actual talent behind those shows

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Now that it’s cool to hate on them..... I never got the appeal... They’re like chillin in the lunchroom funny... not funny enough for mass appeal.
