Don't forget that if you laugh at anything on throwback, he makes an effort to make sure you know it's for children and that it's for shock value.Better question: did anyone expect it to succeed?
DSP Re-ACK-s is already failing because he sucks at reacting to other people's content. Did Phil and his dentheads seriously think it would be different watching Phil react to his own shit? Throwback failed the minute the idea for it was conceived.
Just the way he interacts with his own content is weird too, he can't do anything correct doooood!
