"I hope to God Joan Rivers is still alive."

Geoff, for your sake, I hope she wasn't

[–]Tactical_Nick 169 ポイント170 ポイント  (2子コメント)

That ending though, the spirit of Gavin is strong.

[–]Onikouzou 77 ポイント78 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The spirit of Gavin was strong with the entire video.

[–]TheRandomGamerDude 68 ポイント69 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That ending reminded of a Worms LP a while back where Geoff hits the smallest little bit of map and blows himself up.

This was a great LP.

[–]Megidra 267 ポイント268 ポイント  (18子コメント)

Judging by the following info;

  • Worms Battleground released June 3.
  • As Ray was in love with Hotline Miami (PS4) and named his worms after it, HM was released August 14.
  • Jack mentions playing Diablo which was relased on August 19.
  • Geoff's Joan Rivers comment means he didn't know she died on September 4 but she was rushed to hospital on the 28th August.

So this would mean that this Let's Play was filmed between August 28 to September 4. This means they killed another one. The curse lives on!

[–]KittensAreEvil 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Not strictly related to the death curse, but I thought it was weird how Gavin was talking about British children's entertainers being accused/convicted of paedophilia on podcast 300 and asking if it had happened in America. It must have been recorded just before the Bill Cosby stuff started hitting the news as no one mentioned it. I only listened to it a few days ago so it stuck in my mind.

[–]Pomenti 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The podcasts are filmed on a weekly basis though. And Podcast 300 was just 2 weeks ago. The Bill Cosby stuff came out months ago

Hmmm... no Gavin, so there probably won't be any incredibly stupid moves in this one.

I'm guessing they all used Gavin's script in this episode.

[–]HongManChoi 32 ポイント33 ポイント  (2子コメント)

The lag is mostly caused by the water. Having a lot of water on the levels causes problems in the new Worms games. You'll notice that there was no lag until they busted out the water jetpacks.

[–]I_WANT_PRIVACY 31 ポイント32 ポイント  (1子コメント)

There wasn't this much lag in the last Worms Let's Play, was there? And they definitely used more water stuff then.

[–]JT_Sovereign 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It got real laggy at the end last time, when different stuff started happening on each machine.

I would guess that if the water is stationary it doesn't cause any problems, but once you start setting off explosions the water moves around and starts lagging the game. In the last Worms LP, they barely had any offensive tools, so the water wasn't getting disturbed until the armageddons started dropping.

[–]dayecarter 56 ポイント57 ポイント  (11子コメント)

As someone who's learned to bite her tongue whenever anything even remotely SJW-related is brought up here, boy is this thread interesting. It seems some people really don't like it when something they care about or values they believe in get shit on, to the point where they'll ask AH to avoid certain things in future content so they don't feel uncomfortable. I guess censorship is only ok when it's in the name of something YOU give a fuck about. Ah, to be in the majority.

I'm genuinely not trying to pick a fight or anything. I just sincerely hope some people remember the reaction to this LP the next time they start bitching about SJWs.

[–]beaucm 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I completely agree with you. It was an annoying joke that fell pretty flat but who cares?

Crying about it being offensive is annoying. Everyone complains about parts of the audience trying to make RT more PC except when RT's jokes offends them, then it has gone too far!

[–]MarkNUUTTTT 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Most of it, as far as I'm reading, is that people want to get away from politics in general when watching RT content. A lot of users don't seem to even like the four people, they just don't want to hear this brand of humor. That's my take anyway. If I'm watching The Daily Show I know what's coming, it isn't what I watch lets plays for. And people are entitled to say this type of humor isn't what they want, just as SJW can say anything else isn't the type of humor they want. The main difference is that a political joke from this company is a rarity, has been addressed by Burnie and Gus as something the company as a whole tends to try and avoid, and isn't consistent with the brand of humor they're known for. People are certainly blowing this out of proportion, but that doesn't mean there aren't valid reasons for some of the dissenting comments. Personally, RT is among the few entertainment channels I enjoy that doesn't delve into political, religious, or otherwise serious matters on a regular basis. It's one of the reasons I love them. The occasional joke I don't mind, a central point (the names are inarguably a central point in a Worms lets play) to a video is a different matter. I closed the player and went to the last worms video and re watched that instead. I didn't see a need to comment, and figured that by not watching the rest of the video I was doing my own part in influencing what kind of humor I expect and enjoy from AH and what I don't. As a consumer of their services it is as essential that I enjoy it as it is that they enjoy making it. It's a two way street. No one person's opinion in this regard should or could cause a change, but the overall collective opinion, shown via the video's metrics, will influence how they proceed. That's my take on it, anyway.

[–]LurkingStoic 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Except, a lot of people seem to be saying it just wasn't funny. I'm one of them.

I'm not asking him to censor himself or demanding an apology. Just commenting my opinion. Which is the point of comments.

[–]TheIrishJackel 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

That's what you might be doing, but you don't have to look too hard to find a ton of comments here directly asking (or even telling) Jack and/or AH/RT to never mention politics again.

[–]Sniffman 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Well hes giving reasons to hate him. Personally i have no idea what his worm names mean since i not American

[–]TheHynusofTime 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (12子コメント)

Basically, American politics is split into two parties (well, more than two, but there are two primary parties anyway), those being Republicans(conservative right wings) and Democrats (liberal left wings). The two typically have very opposing views on different topics. Jack (liberal) decided to name his worms after well known conservatives, seemingly because he wouldn't really mind if those names died.

Personally, I think people are taking it a bit too seriously, but I do understand why people are upset.

[–]hemihotrod402 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (6子コメント)

While true yes, he named his worms after the Republican nutjobs, ie the ones that are borderline insane. Coming from a Republican, we don't want them either.

[–]Poncho44 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]LurkingStoic 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'd say that even though they're insane, deserving of death is pushing it.

[–]PlatypusBro 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's not like if Jack could flip a switch and kill them he would, it's just a joke. A dark joke, but just a joke.

Wishing people dead because of politics is pretty fucking stupid tbf

[–]superrope95 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (1子コメント)

you realize that being mentioned in an achievement hunter video doesn't actually kill celebrities right? It's not like he is casting some curse on them hoping for their deaths

[–]TheHynusofTime 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I do think it was unnecessary for Jack to make the joke in the first place, but that's all I saw it as, a joke.

[–]SHIFTGOTSTUCK 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Legitimate ones, mind you. I'm not on the "I hate Jack" train, but it's stuff like this that keeps me off the "I like Jack" train.

It's the same reason why Tumblr gets butthurt over anything and everything.

[–]FranticBanter 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I wrote in another comment in this thread that the reason people get so upset is because they see the opposite political party as an actual threat to the wellbeing of them, their friends and family, and the country. People with a specific political outlook see others with that same outlook as "good" guys while the opposite or "bad" guys.

[–]londongarbageman 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I come from a conservative family, and have since distanced myself from politics in general, as both sides are equally bad and only blame each other for the woes of the nation. That said, I come to AH to escape from the shitty world of politics. I understand it was a joke, but I just don't want to hear about any of those shitheads at all.

[–]destroy-demonocracy 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's not just politics. Any entrenched belief is synonymous with an individual's personality, mentality and general outlook. Consequently, a criticism of the belief is percieved to be akin to a criticism of the individual.

    Ignoring the controversial aspects, I actually really enjoyed that LP.

    Usually you just have Gavin doing the "fun stuff" and everyone else plays it pretty safe. This time, ignoring the initial "Shit, we forgot the controls", pretty much everyone went for some zany stuff, likely because they didn't have a walking and talking "Good Idea, Bad Idea"

    All this bitching about Jack, and no one wants to pick on Geoff for mocking the Creationists? Funny how the one is ok, but the other isn't. (Full Disclosure: I am a Strong Atheist.)

    [–]TimeShinigami 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (21子コメント)

    "Positive Atheism, also called Strong Atheism and Hard Atheism, is the form of Atheism that asserts that no deities exist; Negative Atheism, also called Weak Atheism and Soft Atheism, is any other type of Atheism, i.e. where a person does not believe in the existence of any deities and does not explicitly assert that there are none."

    EDIT: In this sub, you can be downvoted for answering questions.

    [–]Dynamiklol 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (10子コメント)

    So, and correct me if I'm wrong please, Strong Atheism is saying that it's a FACT that there is no God(s) where as Weak Atheism is just your OPINION that there are no God(s)?

    Or am I missing something that is really obvious?

    [–]MarkNutt25 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (4子コメント)

    Weak atheist, here. The difference is all about what kind of assertion you're making. A strong atheist is making a positive assertion, saying, "I believe that there is no god." A weak atheist is making a negative assertion, saying, "I don't believe in any god."

    The difference is subtle, but significant.

    A strong atheist is saying that there is actually evidence which convinces him that no god exists. While a weak atheist is saying that there is no evidence to convince him that a god exists.

    [–]telle46 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    But there is no evidence to prove or disprove of a god.

    [–]internetexplorerftw 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Weak atheism means that you don't belive in any gods, but you can't prove they don't exist.

    [–]FranticBanter 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (9子コメント)

    So, you make the assertion that no gods exist? Doesn't that leave you with the burden of proof?

    [–]LusoAustralian 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    No it doesn't at all. Making an assertion about something not existing doesn't ever leave you with the burden of proof for several reasons. Think of it like a court of law, you don't have to prove that you didn't kill someone, the burden of proof is on the person making the positive statement, that you did something. The same applies here, when discussing the existence of stuff you have to assume nothing exists until reasonable proof shows otherwise. For some people the Bible and other religious texts are enough but regardless the burden of proof is always on the person saying that something is, not that something isn't (although you should have arguments about why something isn't to back up your point anyway). I was going to make another point but I honestly can't remember, it's just escaped me. I'll get back to you with a different reply if/when I remember.

    [–]nolanthenerd 54 ポイント55 ポイント  (5子コメント)

    Probably because Geoff didn't imply that he wants Creationists to die like Jack did with his worms.

    [–]Cessnaporsche01 32 ポイント33 ポイント  (4子コメント)

    Also, most (I think, being myself a Christian and knowing quite a lot of more literalistic Christians) Creationists aren't the dinosaur-denier crazy people that Geoff was mocking.

    [–]DetectiveAmes 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Yeah Geoff joke was good because it worked on some levels. Subtle and a nice jab that wasn't too bad. Jack just laid the joke on strong and didn't really have a decent punchline other than "hey dillholes, let's kill some worm versions of some republican dillholes" it's like a decent enough joke that got ruined by him wishing death on people. He never came off as that kinda guy before.

    Look, either all humor is ok, or none of it is.

    I used to hold this view... but over the years I realized it's a lot more complicated than that on an individual level. You can't just tell someone who's offended that humor is all or nothing. Words are just words but sometimes the pen is mightier than the sword and can find that one chink in your armor that you didn't even know existed. It took time, but I slowly realized that it's possible to have a symbiotic view of humor without being a hypocrite, and being able to see from that perspective has bettered me.

    I'm not trying to tell you to do... anything, really. I just it's a worthy proposition to dig deeper into.

    I love Jack, and he's super entertaining to watch, but he's just one of those guys who loves to talk shit about things he hates but says "stop hating" when it comes to things he likes.

    Then again, a lot of people have that characteristic, so getting too upset over it is silly. I'd be hypocritical to criticize him too much over it.

    Eh. In my opinion, having a megaphone gives you the ability to get on a soapbox, but it doesn't necessarily give you the responsibility.

    [–]JT_Sovereign 92 ポイント93 ポイント  (36子コメント)

    Vladimir Putin is an asshole, Jonathan Gruber is an asshole, Lois Lerner is an asshole, but he never mentions them, or anyone else, really. Frankly, the man trying his hardest to end the era of peace in Europe deserves to be voodoo killed by Jack more than some old white dude voicing his opinions to other old white dudes.

    The fact that Jack specifically named his worms after conservatives is what really irritated me, and I say that as an independent libertarian. Trying to initiate a political circle jerk in a Let's Play is a bit unsavory, regardless of which side it is. Suggesting that people should die because their opinions differ from your own is even worse.

    [–]CyKoToaster 76 ポイント77 ポイント  (9子コメント)

    I'm pretty sure he did it solely so people like you will get all pissed off about it. And I'm sure it wouldn't be nearly as big a deal it Gavin or Michael had done it.

    Edit: Also the people you mentioned are Evil there is a difference between Evil and assholes. People like Limbaugh are assholes people like Putin are evil and despicable

    independent libertarian

    ^ I have no dog in this fight. I'm also not a part of the "I hate Jack" crowd so that's not the issue either.

    The reason why I only listed "evil" people is because I was trying to be unbiased by listing people that could be universally hated by both sides. People like Rosie O' Donnell or Al Sharpton are probably more comparable.

    Is it really ever possible to claim that? Sure, you aren't partisan, but you hold views, and some of those views would closely correspond to the views commentators hold. I'm sure you would side with all of them on government involvement in the economy.

    Claiming objectivity on any political matter just seems like a copout, especially in this case since many of these commentators dedicate large portions of their programming to libertarian economic views.

    [–]Supernuke 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Why do you care so much? It's just a joke. I would laugh the same no matter which assholes he picked, but he can't name everyone.

    [–]TwoSevenOne 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (11子コメント)

    I don't think he was trying to initiate a circle jerk, he was just making a joke. He probably doesn't mention international rights violators because it's a major issue that isn't fun to joke about. A bunch of clowns over at a "news" station is much lighter than someone who is an actual monster. Also he's not suggesting that they should die. When Geoff named his worms after achievement hunter employees, do you think he was suggesting that they die?

    [–]JT_Sovereign 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (10子コメント)

    A Circle Jerk is just derogatory jokes directed at a particular group or person ad nauseam, so saying "it was just a joke" doesn't change the fact that it's a political circle jerk.

    Politics isn't light hearted to begin with, plus not everyone thinks the people he listed are "clowns." I listen to opinion hosts from both sides, and honestly, in my mind, the only real issue that can be taken with those four is that they happen to be conservative; I understand hating them for that reason alone, but they're opinion hosts, they're supposed to be biased.

    At the beginning of the video, Geoff asks him if he is trying to kill people (via the Achievement Hunter Curse) and Jack sarcastically replies "no." The Rush Limbaugh thing started with him joking about trying to use the AH curse to kill him, and he always brings it up whenever they start talking about it.

    [–]TwoSevenOne 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (9子コメント)

    I'm sure Jack believes in the AH curse and that's why he did it. /s The AH curse is a recurring joke, do you actually think he named his worms with the intention to kill four people?

    That is not even close to what a circle jerk is by the way, a circle jerk is a group of people repeatedly making the same jokes over and over again to the point of exhaustion (or it's a bunch of guys jerking off together).

    And there is plenty of reason to hate them, same with CNN and MSNBC commentators. Inaccurate reports, fearmongering, racial biases, attacking (not physically) their guests live on the air, the list goes on and on. There are many reasons to hate these people, especially Ann Coulter with her multitude of racist and bigoted comments towards both Muslims and the president.

    Yeah. We get it. Limbaugh is an asshole. It's not a recurring joke. He's just beating a dead horse. It would be a joke if it was funny.

    He isn't even a politician just an ultra conservative dickhead who has a talk show.

    [–]LurkingStoic 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (14子コメント)

    I was just discussing this with some other people in this subreddit this morning before my finals. Previously he had attempted to "invoke the AH curse" on Limbaugh in one of the GTA V let's plays, today his entire Worms team are right-wing media personalities with the team name "Bad Luck Please."

    It's in shitty taste and rubs me the wrong way. I'm not personally offended, I just don't find it very funny.

    [–]GlutenFremous 32 ポイント33 ポイント  (24子コメント)

    It just sets a poor tone for a video. It turns from "People messing around with their friends" to "Look at who I don't like." It's also ironic that he always wants to bag on Limbaugh, considering Limbaugh has spoken in support of free speech in video games several times.

    If anyone wants to read about that, here's an excerpt from a call on his site (if you're willing to head there): http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2010/10/29/leave_the_video_games_alone

    [–]TwoSevenOne 43 ポイント44 ポイント  (20子コメント)

    If Jack started a 20 minute speech about Fox News then yeah it would have altered the tone of the video, but it did absolutely nothing to hinder the video.

    [–]GlutenFremous 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (19子コメント)

    It did hinder the video for several other people in this thread. It also wasn't like the average joke that lasts for a minute, it was one that stayed prominent for most of the video, due to Jack's naming of his worms. If it didn't change anything in the video for you, I'm glad to hear that. I don't even like the people Jack mentioned, but it was still off putting for me.

    [–]JustChillingReviews 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    It's not even the naming that's annoying as much as it is yelling their names. These aren't Gavin names where the names themselves are funny so there's no humor in saying their full names over and over.

    [–]Asturias2789 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (5子コメント)

    You're literally making the exact same argument that the SJWs from Tumblr make about Ray (and others) about their "sexual content", or using "trigger words". I would wager you don't want AH to censor themselves according to Tumblr's wishes, and frankly I don't want Jack or anyone else to censor themselves according to a few people on Reddit or YouTube's political ideologies.

    Interestingly, at least to me, Joel has been outspoken on several podcasts on the other side as Jack and I've never seen an uproar or even a single complaint... And I'm happy I haven't.

    [–]horcruxsquared 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I'm so glad someone else noticed this. I think it's hilarious how this subreddit shits on people who'd prefer not to hear jokes about rape or domestic abuse, but the moment one of the AH guys makes a joke about something they don't like it's "their bosses should really do something about it".

    [–]FranticBanter 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    I kind of had a hunch that Joel was right of center, but can't remember anything specific that he said to indicate it. Do you remember any specific podcasts off the top of your head?

    [–]Asturias2789 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Honestly I can't but my guess is that it was from one of the episodes where he talked about gold.

    [–]TheIrishJackel 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I can't recall a single instance of Joel mentioning his stance on social issues, so I don't think anyone can comment on that. However, whenever economics come up, he does seem to have a more conservative view (if I recall correctly).

    [–]TwoSevenOne 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (11子コメント)

    And those people need to learn to chill out and that not every joke is going to be something they like. I don't like all the worm names every time, hell half the time I don't even get them. For example, I don't get Michael's worm names this episode. Never played Final Fantasy a day in my life. It didn't ruin the video, I just shrugged it off and let it go.

    [–]GlutenFremous 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (10子コメント)

    Not getting a joke is different than being put off from a joke. And I'm sure those people understand that they're not going to like every joke. They're just expressing their surprise at hearing a political joke from a company that normally stays away from such jokes.

    [–]Dynamiklol 59 ポイント60 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    It didn't do anything for the tone of the video. It didn't make people weird or anything during the video. Geoff and Jack had a good laugh about it, Michael and Ray cracked jokes poking at Jack talking about it, and that was it.

    Jack seems to be angling more towards the adult viewerbase of AH, and he's working on his stride. No one else is going to bring up politics since the majority of the fanbase can't even vote.

    [–]GlutenFremous 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    I should have clarified that it can set the tone off for a viewer. I'm not a fan of the people he mentioned either, but it's just off putting and surprising to see. I've done a similar thing with my friends once, where I casually mentioned politics and noticed they all somewhat tensed up. While I felt no different, I realized I made them uncomfortable, and I try to avoid doing that in the future.

    [–]MrCaboose96 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I agree. People don't come to Achievement Hunter to hear about politics. Even if it's just a joke, it just feels out of place. They can obviously do whatever they want, but I just thinking avoiding politics is a good general rule for any person or group that is putting out content like AH is.

    [–]Mittens-Romney 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (11子コメント)

    Yeah I really wish one of his bosses would tell him to stop. It's annoying how hard he tries sometimes to bring up politics. The last thing I want to hear when trying to relax and watch video game commentary is political opinions.

    [–]TwoSevenOne 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (10子コメント)

    They're his videos, he can say what he wants in them. He doesn't try necessarily hard either, this is the first active political joke Jack has made. The rest have been passive one-off comments.

    [–]VirginiaFreak 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (43子コメント)

    Yeah, while I do not consider myself to be a far right conservative, it gets grating that he constantly shoehorns in politics. Yes, I know that many liberals don't like these conservative figures, but can you please just play a game without alienating at least a part of your audience?

    [–]TwoSevenOne 77 ポイント78 ポイント  (38子コメント)

    He doesn't constantly shoehorn in politics. He's done it enough that I can count on my hands how many times he's brought up politics. In fact I could probably do it on one hand. Christ, you people find anything to bitch about Jack.

    [–]VirginiaFreak 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (36子コメント)

    He does it a lot more than anyone else. If there are two things that one should never talk about in a public forum if they want to make friends and that is religion and politics. Unless it is the occasional tongue-in-cheek, totally not being serious joke about one or the other, then they normally avoid this. Jack however breaks this rule with more serious attacks on his opposing ideologies.

    [–]TwoSevenOne 37 ポイント38 ポイント  (21子コメント)

    He makes occasional jokes about Rush Limbaugh. That's not exactly inciting a debate about politics. Some people, including myself, find it funny. Jack can joke about whatever he wants, they're his videos too, and as a founding member of AH he has more of a right to. Frankly I'm glad that he's making a few more mature jokes. Also, if you think naming worms in a video game after someone with an opposing ideology is a "serious attack" then I'm glad to inform you otherwise.

    [–]VirginiaFreak 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (10子コメント)

    The attack itself isn't serious, but the intent is. When it comes to religion and politics where people have just reasons to get very defensive about, then someone can't just say whatever they want if they want to continue to have an audience. Also, I think there is a good argument to make that the MOST mature joke to make is not a cheep stab at some exposed political figures. Just to make clear I am otherwise totally fine with Jack, but some things that he does just don't make me (and probably a lot of other people) 100% comfortable as community members.

    [–]TwoSevenOne 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (9子コメント)

    They aren't political figures by any stretch of the imagination. They're news commentators and it pains me to call them that. Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter aren't the most elegant places on the internet, so if someone comes here looking for political insight then they're in the wrong place. And I bet that no matter how pissed anyone gets over this, they're going to watch the next video that comes out. They're fanbase is safe. If it didn't suffer after CtH then it's solid.

    [–]The_Dok 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (11子コメント)

    He really does. Like, sure it's not OFTEN, but it's enough to be noticed and it's gotten to the point here you're just like "Yes, we get it, youd on't like them. No one of us do." I like Jack a lo, but the joke is over done.

    [–]TwoSevenOne 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (10子コメント)

    It's confirmation bias, you think that he does it a lot more than he really does and you only see evidence that will support your argument. There are thousands of AH videos without Jack bringing up politics, and what? Eight where he does?

    [–]The_Dok 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (9子コメント)

    That's not the point. It's that he does it more than anyone else, and it's just not funny.

    [–]TwoSevenOne 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (7子コメント)

    Maybe it's not funny to you, but that doesn't mean it's not funny to other people. Also if I recall correctly Geoff has made some political jokes in his AH tenure as well, he even made some in this video. Some people make certain kinds of jokes more than others, it doesn't mean we should crucify them.

    [–]The_Dok 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (6子コメント)

    Well he made them, and usually makes them, because Jack brings it up. And who's crucifying anyone? I'm saying it's tired and unfunny, I'm not calling for his head.

    [–]TwoSevenOne 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    He doesn't usually make them. He's made political jokes less than ten times. In the course of AH videos across these past six years AH as a whole has probably made less than twenty. Has Jack made a portion of these? Yes, he has. You know who else has? Geoff. No one cares when he does it. And once again, maybe it's unfunny to you, but Jack thinks it's funny and Geoff got a good chuckle out of it. Ray and Michael cracked a few jokes about it. They all seemed fine with it.

    I like how everyone's attacking Jack for his political jokes, yet Geoff mocks religion and gets a bye from the very same fans. His (funny) dinosaur crack hasn't even been mentioned once.

    Comedy and parody is what these guys are all about....They didn't cross any lines. Just because they play video games and that's what this channel is about doesn't mean they aren't allowed to crack humor other than the typical toilet humor, puns, and Gavin insults.

    This proves this isn't about politics. It's about people finding any means possible to hate Jack.

    See, the thing is, for every fan that Jack pisses off with his politics, there's another fan like me that loves him twenty times more for the joke. IMO, this was the funniest thing Jack's ever done, and I think he's pretty funny.

    Jack, if you read comments, and for your sanity I hope you don't, know that that joke was amazing and those of us who have your back are just less vocal than the pissed off conservatives.

    Jack doesn't usually steal the spotlight but he knows about how he is viewed by a portion of the audience. It wouldn't surprise me if he was playing on that as a way to poke fun at the perception people have of him.

    He's also said in interviews that his sole goal is to try and get Geoff to laugh because he's not traditionally laugh out loud funny like Ray or Gavin. The political joke played right into Geoff's sense of humour and got the job done.

    Besides, he's making fun of assholes who do nothing but spout shit that makes America the fucked up cartoon we non-Americans think you are. If you're defending them over a harmless joke, your priorities are a bit out of whack.
