Thanks for the welcome! It's a pleasure to be a member of the Kiwi Farms!There's a thread for that actually! Welcome to KF!
Not just that, but CWC is mind-shittingly boring on his own. Without some outside force driving him into uncomfortable territory, he'd just talk about passing the latest level of his video game, or complain about how hard it is, carrying the heavy plastic bags to the car, and how the handles sliced into his hands like a +5 enchanted scalpel of autistic bullying.
I think @Marvin has talked about this - there's a real art and balance, between letting Chris be Chris, but also driving CWC into uncomfortable territory. I'd imagine it's more art, than science. Obviously, Kacey wasn't the best at this. In retrospect, @Alec Benson Leary was a fucking master- nudging the hamster ball just enough to get that shit rolling again, but never kicking the ball down the stairs, you know? He'd just wake the hamster up, then stand back and watch the ball roll into sewer. First rate straight man.
Kacey wasn't. She wasn't a performer like Liquid, and she wasn't a good straight man like ABL. So, getting angry with Chris, was literally, the only natural place for her character to go. And if she didn't get angry? Well then the Kacey calls end around #5, because they're totally fucking boring. Or, they're really cringey, because she's not a good actress, and she's trying to do material that's way outside of her reach. (that said, Kacey calls 1-1.5 really crack me up- her ridiculous enthusiasm wins me over, every time)
So yeah, ABL could get the ball rolling with a whisper, and Kacey needed an air-horn, which could be a little annoying, granted. But it's not because she was a me-me, angry bitch IMO. It strikes me, she did the best she could do, under the circumstances.
On to the subject at hand, Kacey was alright, but her "dad" was the true star of the show
