Ethan Klein / h3h3Productions - Opportunistic, two-faced e-celeb sperg with a penchant for hypocrisy and an Oedipus complex; sold out to Susan Wojcicki, the incompetent CEO of YouTube

[PoisonedBun]

H3H3 was popular? I saw his name come on quite a bit, but I never much bothered to look into him beyond one video that left me incredibly bored. The only reason I even know of him was when Filthy Frank did a few videos together with the guy and it was always so painfully awkward. Not in the "PRANKD" intentional awkwardness Joji created, but the genuine kind that feels like Ethan only did that stuff because of the guy's viewcount, despite how weirded out he was by the comedy.

It really makes me wonder why he decided to up and fuck off to some stupid podcast if he was doing well for himself on YouTube. He clearly wants to keep creating content if he's still on the podcast and, if he really doesn't want to make videos anymore, why not just tell everyone outright instead of making them hold their breaths? I don't really count seven videos vomiting apologies and excuses as to why his production "slowed down". Lastly: "Depression". Goddamnit. When are people going to stop thinking depression is a good justification for being a lazy sack of shit? It's not the same thing.

You should watch that video take down that went viral. The dude calculated H3H3 basically makes thousands of dollars on a single podcast because there's like, three ad breaks and several hundred thousand viewers at a time. It's way easier money than like, actually putting work into something. He's probably making more money than he ever has, if not the same amount for less effort.

Lately Ethan's been talking about having mental health issues and honestly I think it's showing. I think he has depression and anxiety, if I'm not mistaken? I feel like that might be a big factor in him not being able to take criticism. Depression can cause people to see things very black and white, which might have caused him to see all the criticism as a personal attack. I think the whole situation is really just making it worse for him. I know Hila's pregnant so I think Ethan should take this time to just disconnect from the internet and work on himself, for his family's sake and also his own. I miss the old H3 videos but his health and his family is more important.

Spoiler: Powerlevel

I have clinically diagnosed MDD and GAD and let me tell you, he either has a lesser form of depression/anxiety, he's on meds or he's lying out of his fat fupa ass.

When you're depressed, you don't feel like doing anything - drawing, video games, anything that you enjoy; you don't take care of yourself, either hygiene or health-wise; you physically hurt; you distance yourself from friends and family; self-harm and suicidal ideations...
If he was as depressed as he says he is, he wouldn't be working on his podcast channel. He wouldn't be doing much of anything except get fatter.

And being depressed is no excuse to go sperg out over criticism and not get called out on it. Someone sperging over criticism means you're thin-skinned, not anxious or depressed.
Also to go and stab your friends in the back.

TL;DR: Ethan is either not as depressed as people think he may be or he's a fucking liar using a mental illness as an excuse for his laziness.
Regardless, he needs to eject from the internet for awhile since this does look like it's affecting his health and that can turn into something worse if it's not nipped in the bud.

Ethan is one of those youtubers who became famous by exploiting parasocial relationships and creating a friend simulator.

People watch him not because he's funny , smart, handsome or interesting but because they like him.

 

[Emotional Prolapse]

Couldn't resist posting caps of Ethan realizing an old bald ginger is about to steal his girl.







What are the odds that this baby comes out with a head of red hair and jokes that are actually funny?

I think he's just trying to be something that hes not. It made sense when he was trying to court other youtubers, because that was his community and they were all kind of doing different versions of the same thing, invention the genre as they went. Now he isn't inventing anything. His podcast is trying to be like other big comedy podcasts (Joe Rogan, Your Moms House, Etc), and hes now trying to court all of these real comedians who have put decades of actual work into their craft. These other podcasts don't have a script, because if you have spent decades learning to talk on your feet and talk your way out of a bombing set, you don't need a script. Most professional comedians that have been on the H3 podcast have been polite, but the Bill Burr one makes it most obvious that they are way out of Ethan's League. A youtube comedian will never be as good as a working standup comedian.

One thing he could do to make the show better (Though I still wouldn't watch it) would be to lose the script and just let the conversation go where it does.

I also think that deep down Ethan just wants to be a real stand up comedian. Ethan I don't know if you are reading this, but if you are you need to just put the dick in your mouth. Start writing and performing at open mics, then build from there.

This entire statement sounds like something someone would say to their therapist.

This is what a nerd says when they want to insult someone but don't want a "mad on the internet" vote.

Serious question. Does Hila suffer from any mental issue? Not even trying to be a dick. Maybe it's her personality, but every time she has the spotlight during the streams or normal videos, she looks so out, like, she is high, on meds, her mind in a different place that occasionally gets called back to earth to react to some dumb Ethan remarks.

Of course she does! As soon as the camera is off it's back in the gimp cage for her. That twitchy, midget faced bastard is holding her hostage.

In contrast to Ethan who looks sober, clean and organized.

Haven't watched an H3 vid in more than a year, because let's face it, he really hasn't made anything worth watching in that time, but this video comes off as a whiny tryhard content cop. Most of the points sound like they could come from a jilted ex, rather than some sort of damning evidence.

There's many ways to attack Ethan, but sperging for an hour and a half with clips of some incel punching the air is probably the worst way to do it. Just follow the money from his shilling.

How is he allowed to have children if he's claiming to be manic depressive? Does this man not have any resp -- wait, he has a thread on Kiwifarms. Nevermind, someone bring me the popcorn and the extra Pepsi, this is going to be a sodium-rich rollercoaster ride.

There's nothing saying people who are manic-depressives can't raise children, especially if they enter therapy. Whether Ethan and Hila are fit to be parents is another debate entirely.

Spoiler

They'd probably force their kid to enter the media and make videos just so they can get money from it.

You just described all youtubers.

I never cared about h3h3 too much but I'm not sure if he's a lolcow. With the exception of the Bill Burr podcast (which was exceptionally entertaining due to how bad it was), he seems like a mundane Youtuber that peaked years ago and is slowly fading out. Doesn't strike me out as something out of the ordinary.

Also maybe I feel this way because I'm not American, but I don't get the nigger/pewdiepie drama. idubz & Ethan seem to use "nigger" for its shock value, whereas Pewdiepie used is as a direct insult. I don't think it's wrong for h3h3 to make a statement about that even if pewdiepie rightfully apologized.

"lolcow" and "e-celeb" are often used interchangeably sometimes, and I think with Ethan it's applicable. He very obviously gets more "invested" in internet drama than someone like PewDiePie and fairly often finds himself giving pretty bad takes publicly.

Is "Careercow" still used? Ethan's a careercow. He's probably not going to lose his shit like an Ice Poseidon or anything, but he's always going to be involved in some sort of laugh generating faggotry.

Sounds like you didn't bother watching the whole video. And if you did, I have no clue how you came to this shitty conclusion about him "sperging out" for over an hour.

I think the children of people with manic depression generally have to endure a lot of bullshit in their lives, depending on the severity of the disorder. Of course, you're right there's nothing forbidding them from it, and some might actually be excellent parents.

But we're talking about Ethan Klein. He has no responsibility to anyone other than his ego.

What, are you trying to suggest that this would be an unhealthy environment for children?

That kid in the background looks like he passed out from too much studying and having fun. Perfect environment for children.

 

[ChromaQuack]

You had to admit you "sing" death metal just to win an autistic internet argument, why?

:late: fftopic: but I can't stop my tism, I'll try to keep it short.

If someone who claims to "sing" death metal tells you its grating to the voice and gets you "hoarse" then they have a shit technique and should focus on finding the point at which they can growl without even feeling a tinge of anything, which is (often) attained by "locking" your throat and letting air pass slowly, not just raping your vocal chords (in fact death growls done correctly will barely involve them), so with good technique they should not be much more stressful than even regular singing.

So yeah he didn't win any argument.

Also sorry, don't have anything else of value to add to this thread.

Manic depressive people can function on their own, but just take a look at this. Ethan seems like the kind of guy who would dump the kid on his wife, and then ignore her. He would definitely need some therapy before even thinking about getting a kid.
Hey wait, he is the kid! The diaper picture all makes sense now!

 

[UnKillFill]

Who would win in a fight- Ethan Klein, or Ethan Ralph? (Both are sober, otherwise it would be obvious)
