Sam Hyde

[neger psykolog]

Sam was clearly very upset at not being able
to get a reaction out of someone by being le racist and carayzee for once and very pathetically tried to, if you'll excuse the phrase, flip the table on him but it was completely ineffectual, and trying to "The Weak Should Fear the Strong"-arm him after that failed to get a reaction backfired even harder as Harland flipped the Bigdogging back around on him by no-selling it. Just a masterclass in completely disaming this carfeully crafted but shallow image of a tuff guy Sam's tried hard over the last decade to build for himself. A humiliation ritual of his own making.

Why didn't he just walk into it like a normal interview? Not everything has to be some killer "but" and if you go through life with that attitude you end up with something like Fishtank.

Like I don't even know this other comedian guy or much about comedians in general but it seems they both have enough reputation to not even need to try and play some sort of stupid mind games. Why couldn't Sam Hyde have just brought up some interesting anecdote or started an interesting conversation?

Anyway this is far from the career killer I think some people think it is. He fucked up hard but I'm not so sure people will remember this a year from now - "oh remember that one time he had an awkward appearance on a podcast" doesn't even come close to marky posting shit.

If Sam Hyde really felt out of place with how commercial it is he could've at least made fun of the sponsors or something funny. I still really don't even know what value he would derive from having what appears to be a relatively obscure comedians podcast give him a shout out?

Sam Hyde if you want to make money, make the episodes free on YouTube and create some kind of cool/fun incentive for people to tip. Depending on appearing on people's podcasts who you don't even like isn't going to get you anywhere. If you clip/title the videos well and they do well on the algorithm way more people will see them than if some random comedians podcast gives them a shout-out.

Harland, Norm, and Tom Green are a painful reminder of what Canada used to be

I’m confused. Does the farms like Sam or not? I saw the TEDtalk and that was funny. But I also saw fish tank and that was insanely gay. Then he threatened to kill Piker which was funny. But now I guess he raped someone, which isn’t funny. Then he did this podcast which was “uhhhh” to both people.

So, what’s the general consensus?

Sam Hyde may unironically be one of the most polarizing figures on this site and historically this thread can barely even agree if this is a lolcow thread or a fan thread

Anyone who doesn't love Harland is a homosexual.

Harland is a legend and I'm tired of the slander towards his good name.

hyped for the last episode of extreme peace just for of the all under heaven performance, if nothing else.

Sam being on the wrong side of 30 and still bitching about Daddy in his creative output is just really pathetic to me, and totally undermines him as any kind of thought leader in the "disaffected youth" podcast industrial complex. Call your dad and say you're sorry faggot, you'll regret not doing it one day when he's gone.

Not like Sam will ever be the recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant any time soon, but Cormac McCarthy clearly had daddy issues he was working through for the entirety of his literary career. It's a thing, apparently.

they're pretending that it's just, you know, random comedy but it does kind of have like a mean spirit to it.

I'm not defending Sam's behavior, but this is true about being mean spirited. Harland had no intent to just be playful, he clearly meant to be antagonistic. And Sam wasn't legitimately inviting Harland to the show either, he was definitely threatening him. If you look at Harland's eyes you can tell he was obviously really pissed but admittedly hid it pretty well.

Sam is an entertainer who produces a large amount of material of uneven quality, some great, some absolute crap, most of it somewhere in the middle *and* he is also a lolcow. A lolcow who is somewhat self-aware of what he is, and thus public milking sessions are rare and to be treasured when they do occur. I mean I like more than a few of his projects, but yeah, underneath is the theater kid faggot who always needs to be in control and thirsts endlessly for praise and approval and acts out when he doesn't get that... or gets too much of it.

I'm not defending Sam's behavior, but this is true about being mean spirited. Harlan had no intent to just be playful, he clearly meant to be antagonistic. And Sam wasn't legitimately inviting Harlan to the show either, he was definitely threatening him. If you look at Harlan's eyes you can tell he was obviously really pissed but admittedly hid it pretty well.

There's something rich about anyone complaining about Sam being treated antagonistically or in a mean-spirit. If he can dish it out in spades and make it his bread and butter, he should be able to take some back in return.

Sam thrives against normies, but the moment someone engages him on his level, he loses control fast. It wasn’t even a 5D chess move that beat him—just a guy willing to play as an equal.

Reminds me of Sacha Baron Cohen and Borat. Sam and Sacha do best when interacting with people wanting to placate them or treat them with some level of respect, which they can then treat the person with derision for having done so. Feel like that's why Sam's bit can fall apart so easily, since if someone doesn't bite then he's got nowhere to go.

After the 5th episode of this shit I can pretty confidently say that the ardent defenders who claimed they wouldn't need Andrew Ruse for this project were completely wrong.
Every single episode of Extreme Peace would benefit from being about 2/3 as long as they are.

 

[DYLAN ‘DIELAWN’ VOLK]

If anything, for someone that’s new to Sam, one would think he was doing an outtake for FishTank.

I don't know why people think Sam is talented enough of an actor to always be playing a character, but a lot of people do. You can usually tell when he's "acting" and when he's actually pissed off. I saw it a lot on season one.
Rage pig Sam is when he is the funniest imo because you can tell he wants to hit the retards he has collected but he's on camera so he just breaks shit impotently and I can taste his suffering through the screen. It's kino.

im pretty sure the content they have on their gumtree gets released on youtube for a week before they take it down on top of some big elaborate subscription setup like most content creators do now days, so i think they're trying to do the regular podcast circuit thing where they go on people's podcasts to promote the promotional machine they have set up and the entire thing Harlan set up was basically just mocking them to their face for taking his offer to go on his podcast and promote his material.

even though sam's an antagonistic ass he's also kind of like a vampire in that said antagonism only really manifests if the other person is trying to leave something on the table - sam doesn't trick people through deception, he takes advantage of people's emotional instability to make them react. Which is exactly what Harlan is but he's a less evolved and more priveliged form, one of those an opie and anthony types who operates in the space of deception and has never had anybody question their behavior - so i don't know who the bigger faggot is in this situation

Not a complaint, just on observation that seems overlooked.

So he's basically like any traditional celebrity: fucking groupies, an avid gooner and reader with a vast collection of random shit on their hard drive (just like Bin Laden), problematic behavior on occasion and likes to drive cars fast, break shit and screw around.

As far as interesting people he does have interesting topics to talk about and does make weird shit sometimes. The people who hardcore hate/love him seem as bad as those who are equally polarised by DSP's existence because holding such a hard opinion about him means admitting you've watched/read all of their stuff (even the terrible shit) or you just parrot other people's opinions about the matter (which is equally as bad)

 

[whalebiologist]

is sam wearing a gold rollie datejust? Hope that's part of the persona cause that's the most gypsy/nigger/turkroach fake ass watch in the world

 

[Trigger Me Timbers]

This edit focusing on Nick during the podcast really paints a picture.

I laughed more in that one and a half minute edit than I did in the entire original videos length.


To comment on Sam, him bringing an entire entourage to podcasts is just super cringe and never funny. I thought it was a little humorous the first time, but I also thought that would be the first and last podcast he would do. Also it was funny more as him derailing some nobodies show. It's not really interesting for people who like Sam cuz it was his posse who would talk more and say litterally nothing.

Spoiler for ep 5.

The ending is actually the first thing in this show so far to make me laugh out loud. I don't want to know what that means about me but Charles self-suck finale really got me good. The whole Prom sketch is the closest to what I liked about WP.
School of Comedy is ok, "I sucked my dads dick" is the essence and it is a good bit. Sam teaching girls to be 'almost funny' works but kind of goes nowhere, its a fine premise but goes a bit long and has little to say for its runtime.
Candy news was lame. sorry to say. Just ends up being aimless political sperging, who cares.

The very beginning of candy news was funny, but it still is just a /pol/ post made into a sketch, which is not at all what MDE does best.
The Charls Prom ending knocked me out, that shit was dark as fuck and funny too.

I think Sam's "fresh" ideas are usually really good. But then get repetitive fast and he gets lazy with the execution. Maybe it's just me. Fishtank had me watching in Season 1 but I don't have the time to form the Big Brother obsessive stream watching, so I have no idea if the quality has dropped, but from what I understand it has.

Sam bombarding Matan's podcast with random people and overwhelming a troll character who played along in the way Sam wanted was good. It made sense for Matan, it was completely off the mark for Harland.

Sam doing "Dear Elon" was fresh, Sam taking a risk by sharing unironic long form views by himself, mostly out of character, and it went somewhat viral. Subsequent "The Sam Hyde Show" episodes turned into another relax for an hour and let his sycophants talk on-camera while he leans back, smokes a cigar and vaguely guides from topic to topic.

World Peace was tightly edited fresh sketch comedy at a perfect length. Extreme Peace is an overlong, slower paced, mostly rehash of ideas that should've left a lot more on the cutting room floor.

I think it's good he's using his resources to provide for a comedy/creative troupe, or sycophants/friends again. There's just no lasting material that keeps my interest with him. Prior to World Peace he just put out a huge variety of different videos and each one maintained that fresh feeling.

I wouldn't say this was a "career killer", but it does feel like a squandered opportunity. Someone connected in the L.A. comedy scene and the movie industry isn't a bad person to befriend.
