Jesus Christ, I can't believe some of the stuff poor Jimmy is saying in this thing. Unreal.

You'd think at the very least, they'd have shown some kids how to do things like cook and clean just to, you know, make sure they don't kill themselves trying.

Or empty out the outhouses and not leave a literal mountain of shit in the one outhouse before they brought out more.

That last bit was full on Eric Andre Show stuff and I loved it.

Holy shit, that poor kid. This was a great episode.

Jon is like a white, fat Eric Andre. He just needs a Hannibal.

I mean Jimmy did say he wanted to be an actor once. Maybe Jon can get his Hannibal in Jimmy.

Also NGL, Jimmy seems like a nice & friendly dude.

>kids drank bleach on accident
Jesus Christ that is horrifying.

 

[Insane In The Membrane]

Just remember to all the people who say they want to drink bleach, these poor kids on this show ended up drinking actual bleach. And lived.

 

[Rinny.]

For a show that supposedly intervened alot you'd think they would've told kids not to drink bleach and suggest to try washing the dishes using soap or water, I guess not.

Eric Andre and Hannibal Buress have a TV show!?

I wonder if this kid watches Jon cause he seemed to be having a great time doing this. As much as Jon talked down his abilities as an interviewer I thought he did great.

This whole kid nation thing reminds me of an anecdote near the beginning of the first BSA handbook.

Not long ago a benevolent rich man, impressed with this idea, chartered a steamer and took some hundreds of slum boys up to the Catskills for a day in the woods. They were duly landed and told to "go in now and have a glorious time." It was like gathering up a netful of catfish and throwing them into the woods, saying, "Go and have a glorious time."
The boys sulked around and sullenly disappeared. An hour later, on being looked up, they were found in groups under the bushes, smoking cigarettes, shooting "craps," and playing cards, —the only things they knew. Thus the well-meaning rich man learned that it is not enough to take men out-of-doors. We must also teach them to enjoy it.

We've known since 1910 you shouldn't Kid Nation kids.

Thank god it didn't turn into "Lord of the Flies"

I still can’t get over on some of the stuff Jimmy said about Kid nation, ESPECIALLY the part where camera crew actually went to find him and then videotaped him crying his eyes out.

Jimmy was a pretty great interview as well. He did a good job playing off of Jon's antics. Too bad his attempts to get into acting as a kid lead to fucking shit mountains and bleach drinking because he might actually have some talent.

 

[KingofNothing]

I can't believe Kid Nation was an actual show. I feel bad for Jimmy and those kids. I'm glad the company got sued, but I want to know what bigbrained individual thought it was a good idea to greenlight shoving kids into unsafe conditions virtually unsupervised and let them tough it out.

Started rewatching Jontrons 2011 videos and Im on dinocity.

JonTron has always had this magnetizing fucking appeal to me, ever since I first watched his Monster Party video back around when it came out, I got hooked on his humor. Nowadays you can tell most video game content creators in that style that weren't inspired by James Rolfe, were probably inspired by him.

Good excuse to post this again.

I remember hearing the original in the chemist some time after and thinking "Jon did it better."

Hang on, I know someone to a side-by-side....here we go.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Oh yeah, I remember now hearing that they drank bleach on Kid Nation.
