I think he just doesn't understand that traditional media success means needing to get along with others so that they'd want to work with you or that a rising tide lifts all boats. Like if you don't make it pleasant, reasonable, and profitable to work with you, then you don't get people wanting to work with you who are also good at those things.

So he ends up imagining that so long as you have the popularity, the success will follow. Resulting in a more amateurish production setup that would scare off anyone wanting a job that provides stability (or health insurance).
Keep in mind I'm a Fishtank sperg so take my opinion with a grain of basmati rice.

He spent half a decade as an outsider, and the second he achieved large scale success he immediately got treated as a 'thought leader'. He can't handle not being in charge of a situation that is being broadcasted. Fishtank has clearly convinced him that he is supposed to be a force of nature that can't ever be challenged. The fact that he freaks out at any conversation he isn't leading just shows he's drunk his (and Jet's) own Koolaide.
 
Despite being the #1 Harland simp apparently I must admit I actually don't consume his content. I wish we had some type of Harland-head in here who could tell us if the type of interview style was normal or not for Harland as a lot of people have speculated certain things were actually subtle digs
When he went on Rogan, he had a tattoo of clawmarks from a mountain lion or sth on one side of his chest, on the other he had some protrusions glued on to mimick a different type of scar as well. He also had an arm tattoo of some chinese which he used for another bit. He also chewed celery loudly into the mic as part of some tapeworm bit. He seems to enjoy doing zany bits where the recipient has no choice but to play along as if what he's doing is normal.

Right. Its clear he's got strong improv background. Just was more curious if this was a normal thing to force a guest into a scenario that could be embarrassing or if he specifically was trying to piss Sam off.

Regardless my point was that I softened my stance on the scenario a bit when I put myself in Sam's shoes. How do you make "have you been raped" funny on a comedy podcast? And what is a response for the gorilla nest?

Comedy as a performance is hard I imagine. I wouldn't of flipped the desk, but the alternative is to literally play Harland's monkey. Just trying to figure out was that malicious or just his style of podcast. I saw him do some similar stuff to other guests by getting them to do bits but the Sam stuff could be seen as Harland legitimately attempting to humiliate Sam.

Just not sure.

Just try to one up him? Turn the tables? Idk, I feel like a good answer for Sam specifically would've been to say he rapes instead and then see how far he can push in that direction.
And what is a response for the gorilla nest?
The desk flip was fine, as long as he's willing to pay for the damage to the set. Instead of pushing Harland around he could throw the sticks into the flipped desk and go "here's your gorilla nest". But what the hell do I know.

Watch the entire thing. Sam brought up rape and Harland tried to get out of it in a really obvious way that made it clear he wanted to avoid the topic. Sam brought up rape out of nowhere a second time minutes later so Harland just gives up and makes fun of him. Sam was very happy to start talking about rape multiple times but I guess the old man was too mean.

Yea, for me the desk part is the least of it. It was a bit of a poor sport and not playing along but I would assume either everything was fine or if there was damages Sam would've compensated Harland. The whole reason I've been obsessed with this for like 2 days is the look on Harland's face as they wrestle. If this ended up being a bit I would eat my fucking dick because they are both amazing actors in that case. Harland gritting a smile through his teeth. That's the moment I hit maximum cringe as it feels like Sam was intending to flip the desk and call it the nest and then put Harland in the nest as a role-reversal. And Harland was gritting his teeth like "ok flipping the desk is fucked up but this is amazing footage, but I'm not letting this fucker manhandle me". Sam realizes he can't move him as easily as he wants and deflects with a comment about his strength and age.

It just got super weird when he started actually touching Harland.

Ah you're right about the initial rape comment. I might need a re-watch as I probably start and stopped 1000x due to second hand cringe.
 
This thread is a fucking shitshow right now, but I gotta admit I am surprised Sam Hyde wasn't able to soundly outmaneuver the guy whose big comedy "claim to fame" is being the guy who fart-exploded a spacesuit in a 1997 Disney kids movie.

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.
I think it wasn't a big deal until he chimped out and flipped the desk. It wasn't some prop desk. There where expensive mics, video switchers, camera controllers, mixer etc built in to the desk. A few grand of equipment hit the floor there. Then to make it worse he physically starts pushing a 62 year old man around the room. He completely killed any hopes of getting on any more large shows. Pointless self sabotage.

Harland pinpointed all of Sam's projection and insecurity and unleashed it on him, all while keeping it funny. And it was amazing. Cutting him off to have his henchman speak instead, talking about rape, being raped, priests raping. Calling him a big stupid gorilla because he's clearly on T, disregarding all his talking points, ignoring his plugs and stories. Putting Sam in the uncomfortable position between submitting or flaring up, and he chose to flare up and lost his cool. He tried to play it off as a joke but his crew clearly knew he was pissed. This shit was genius in its execution. He either did his research OR he is insane at reading people. Harland is perfectly executing what Idubbz imagined he would do to crack Sam.
I never really liked Harland's type of comedy. I am not a fan of his. But this really was a "Pro's vs Joe's" situation. Where even the most mid-tier Professional NFL player on the worst team, can lay the local hero the fuck out. 10 mins reading Harland's wiki or IMDB and you can see this dude is a Pro. Outside of his movie and TV work he has been working the roast and impov circuit for years. That type of comedy isn't just spitting out bits. Its a mental boxing match where you have to be quick witted and at the same time get your jokes to land. If Sam just did a little bit of research by watching his live shows on youtube he would have seen there was no way he was going to shake this guy with his normal personal space gimmicks. He should have gone in thinking of ways to keep up with him on a back and forth. How to put on a good show and show off his comidy crew. Use it as a stepping stone to the next level.

To be fair, Norm Macdonald was only ever in shit parts for shit movies, but he was brilliant at both standup and liveshows. Lots of comedy guys aren't made for movies and aren't really aiming for them anyways.

Yeah if Harland hates Sam's guts based on the way he acted on the podcast he must hate every single guest he asks to come on because he treated Sam no differently than any other guest who he has invited on the show. And like you said he trolled the absolute fuck out of Rogan for literally the entire episode start to finish even going so far as to tattoo bear claw marks on his chest before the show.
 
  • Agree

With the amount of spergy and grasping at straws level theories in here about the interview I'm basically ready to settle on a consneedsus in my brain that Sam is/was a "funny" clown performance troll tard and he did his job perfectly in making a large amount of people in here (and other places) cope, seethe and in some cases even mald. The end result is Sam's endeavors are exactly the same as they were before the interview, but now he has some minor controversial buzz which is giving him some exposure.

Is this not just the Matan interview all over again except not as funny?

It was the Matan interview, but it was the David Lucas/Matan interview not the one with Sam.

Matan instantly understood how out of his depth he was in trying to troll Harland so he instead let Harland troll him and played the part of the hapless interviewer having to deal with Harland's antics instead of trying to fruitlessley wrestle back control of the show from him because Matan understood what would be more funny and enjoyable for people to watch. Matan is nowhere near as seasoned as Harland at this shit but he riffed off of Harland excellently.
 
That was a hard watch... there was basically zero synergy between him and Harland the whole video. Even when Sam would try to build up Harland's jokes it just came off as him subliminal malding and it just gets worse as the video dragged on. Any time Harland would try to be funny Sam would instantly make it not funny. He should have just went along with the fact that he was getting mogged and leaned into it. Nobody likes someone who can't laugh at themselves.

Talking about Sam on Matans show. Sam knew the way Matan liked to screw with his guests so Sam did it back to him with the 30 Indian guys, he broke Matans table, I think he even shook Matan physically at one point, he threw food or a drink over the set iirc. I think Sam just hates podcast shit after doing a few and this was his way of crashing out, never to do them again (other than is own of course)
 
preface: I want to hate harland becuase of all teh comedy faggots that have visted this thread. Im finally wathcing thet podcast. Probably skip past this becuase its worth nothin to nobody.
I have no idea why damiel is around. Every podcast hes been on with sam hes just been wallpaper pretty much.
So far actually wathcing this shit sam five minutes in cant help himself from being like FUCKNIG JEWS. Thumbs up faggot, great move sam. Harland keeps doing a cajun accent and sam spergs asking if its a jew accent. FAGGOT.
This harldn guy is funnier, I hate you faggots. Sam is leaning into harlnd to be a fuckin TRT weirdo. Hes already pissed lol. Harland talks about meat and sam asks if he raped it, great move sam. Hilarious. Trach talk, this stinks so far. Aside: from what i read sam didnt play along, he seems to be trying at least a little. Sam talks aobut being an american, harland says hes nosey and sam goes into jewish shit and gets nasty. Sam is a fucking sperg. Nick starts spreaking some french, gay. Oh this faggot doesnt timestamp so you can skip the ads, harland is a faggot. lmao sam asks to starover and they replay the inro song and intros. Sam spergs about jews and they do another reintro lmao. nick speaks up about robots, HAHA hes s ofunny. harland talks about some robot to a neanderthal and nick says he would fuck it so harlnd makes damiel repeate it (beacuse it isnt funny). sam is mad that harlnd is picking on damiel. Sam tried to grab his notes. He fails, GREAT JOB SAM! Sam makes a talk tauh refrence, THUMBS UP NIGGA. Sam brings up indian rapes, halrnd asks if he was raped (thanks to everybody in the thread acting like he brought it up first, fuckin dorks). Nick is trying real hard to be funny, harlnd starts laying into damiel again becuase he isnt. sam asks if harland was raped, he just rolls with it. Harland trys to bigdog eric to make him look away, the concrete spoecialst is having nothing of it. Heres teh preist rape joke where sam and nick both try to redirect it. Halnd drags damiel back in to nto be funny again lol. Sams annoyed, get over it fag. Harland asks sam again if he was raped, sams getting mroe mad. Sams mad about the podcast just being goofy, YOU HAVE A TEAM OF WIGGERS, MAKE THEM FIGURE SHIT PUT FAGGOT. Harland asking about orangutans, i feel the nest coming. Didnt expect this with liek 20 minutes to go lmao.
ASIDE: Sam doesnt really seem too bothered up to this pint, just not funny. I think this is him trying to be funny lmao. Sadly the only person from the mde crew saying anything worth a laugh is charls up to this piont
IS THERE A GORILLA IN THIS ROOM OR WHAT?
Sam has started to physically assualt this old man, give it a break faggot. Wow I hate this lmao. I can see what sam was trying to do but guy nah this stinks lmao. Great another non-timestamped ad. If he isnt a jew in practice hes a jew in spirit. Harland getting harassed by sam has somehow powered up lmao. Sam is still sperging, God in heaven bring bicflame back into the fold to tell him hes wrong. Charles says something to Nick and nick says no and charles dies. They probably never expected this to see the light of day lol. Sams huffing and puffing trying to act lie hes joking but hes still a faggot thats mad. Uncomfortable WERE JOKING ENERGY at this point about slapping. The callback to the childhood shit imo is a funny joke lol. Harland asks about the show, Sam saying thanks for bringing it up really doesnt feel like a dig to me but im me i guess. They edit out all mention of the show lol, that probably a great way to get attention to it. Sam asks harland to come to the show, harlnd still jokes lol. Why you so clazy no really funny to me BUT really fucking fitting for this trainwreck. NON TIMESTAMPED ADx3, JEW CONFIMRED. Sam talks aobut his show in an edited fashion, Haland asks for damiel and it cuts to an merch ad for his shit (jewx4). Actual question about how it all started, sam gives candid answer, squirrel edits. Harlnd is an animator? Harland tells him he hates him lol. Throwback to pussy eating. What a strange podcast lol. Sam rubs his forehead knowing its a CRASH. Sam asks to come back lol.


actually watching this its two dudes that have WAY different ways of being funny. I think during the tableflip there was some actual animosity but otherwise it was mostly HEH WERE TRYING. Sam flipped the table and they seemed to both be kinda pissed for a short while but the return to normal was pretty quick. Overall sam fuckin screwed the pooch and harland was kinda funny but not to the level the FAGGOTS in this thread have acted. I think the only reason this is has popped off, and harland should thank sam since he comes offf looking better, is the table flip. Otherwise it wouldve just been a awkward podcast. Throw me puzzle peices i guess idk.

edit: why do my spegposts always have to be new pages. Fuckinbg kill me.
