🐟 Fishtank Fishtank.Live General - Jet Neptune's Pisces Aquarium Internet Reality Show w/ Host Bam Margera

If you believe that then you should know I'm also being haunted by Steve and he said you should send me $500.

I'll send $500 if it means you get a plushy hand delivered by someone who regularly messes with you. The money goes to you (not really), right?

I just want someone to superimpose the LiveLeak logo over the video of Fatty falling down the stairs. I swear starting the exact moment he knew he was going to fall he had genuine terror and fear for his life in his voice and if I listened without watching I might think he was actually dying. And somehow that makes it 10000x funnier.

letty apparently didn't think her dasha shoutout was real, but i guess now she does.

EDIT: apparently she's going live later today on IG as well.

I found the Angry Asian Man SFX.
Thankfully Simon gave a summary: "He’s threatening a guy for being a communist harming innocent citizen and over here (in America I assumed) everybody have guns. You don’t think he’ll shoot? He will shoot you communist for using curse words."

Sam should have just bought a few trailers and a few acres of shitty land somewhere.
I really don't think the quality of the show would have remotely been impacted by filming it in Grundle, Arkansas and it wouldn't have been such a money pit.

Plus, the sperg fish would have had the psychological thrill of being taken to a ramshackle trailer park in the middle of nowhere by Sam Hyde. Some real "The Hills Have Hydes" shit

Sam has something to do with that house apparently. I think he was also being genuine when he said it'd be better to build a fake home inside of a studio than keep finding new homes to trash, though a double wide trailer or something wouldn't be a bad idea.

I think you need to keep the fish inside, so multiple trailers would ruin that. You could see that being cooped up for weeks started to have an effect.

Yeah I heard he has plans for the house, which was a mistake from the get go.
I know Go Big or Go Home is at the core of the CashStar grindset but his attempt at double hustling conflicting concepts killed the show prematurely.
As for the trailer thing, you could very easily construct hallways to connect trailers together and create an enclosure with privacy fences. If he could figure out a way to fuck with the contestants without completely niggering up the homes straight into the red, he could probably recoup his investment at least partially from tax write-offs by donating what's left at the end.
Regardless of all that though, it was a refreshing shakeup to the Internet and I hope Sam keeps at it with these big concepts. He just shouldn't be the nigga balancing the books

Just want to say I'm glad that Josie won, but also glad that Airsoftfatty managed to even make the latter half of the first season even better. I miss those entertaining moments that exist on the Internet.

Spoiler: Fingers crossed

You think he'll be on MDE Season 2?

I tried to listen to Letty talk on the Twitter hang out but it kept shitting up for me, so I didn't catch much.

- Said Damiel freaking out at her was not a bit and it scared her

- Said knew about Sam from seeing videos years ago but never kept up with him, didn't know who Jet and etc. were. Said Sylvia and Vance were very big stans though

- Said she found out about the show because someone had dropped out and someone in Discord sent a link. Letty sent an e-mail saying she was a woman (They were looking for a woman) and put on a fake persona because she thought it would be funny, didn't expect to get interviewed and accepted.

- She declined at first due to fear, but eventually went to a psychic because she needed a push to go.

- Said her deep conversation with Frank is what pushed her to do more stuff to the fish

- Said it was hard to upset the fish because she felt guilty, and was isolated from the other fish, who were talking shit about her. Then when alone, TTS would make her feel worse about by insulting her

- Said Jet and co were worried about fish leaving, which is why they would back off after complaining (Like Sylvia complaining about having clam soup on her hair extensions)

That's all I got, I hope someone else is listening and can write up stuff.

I'm glad that Josie won,

Why? She didn't deserve to win. She should have gotten second place. Letty was clearly the better fish. She contributed far, far more to the show and Josie basically just won the popularity contest.

 

[DankSmoker]

Not surprised to see Josie win. It seems like they liked Letty the most, but they went with the fan favorite.

However, I think Jet made a huge mistake letting on that Letty was playing up the villain with their approval. I kinda suspected, what with him get let out of the house to film World Peace 2, that Vance was playing up the villain on behalf of the show. If so, essentially for the last 11 days or so of the Tank, it was the winner and two losers working with the show runners to create drama/content. Vance was either bad at it(though from the start I always felt like he was playing the archetype of the two faced schemer) or I'm just a psychopath. That's almost 1/3 of the entire run essentially being stretching this out.

No Sam gave Lance a spot in WP2 (in front of Vance) and it was a running bit of him confusing the two after he left. Though I think all the fish will be in WP2 with the exception of Simmons, who will be locked in a dark room crossdressed for the rest of his life.

Just cuz you can't see why Josie was a great fish doesn't mean she wasn't a great fish. Unexpected fierce challenger who was very interactive with viewers.

 

[Hybrid Icing]

Letty's name being "dog eater" and her handle being "@borntopiss" is delightful

Guess she's an honest-to-god shitposter

They said they will email you a download link on the page that was advertising the simp pass.

Thanks. Hopefully someone can find a way to share the download on here for those who didn't buy the pass. Is that possible? (I'm a retard with zero computer literacy and signed up with an old email that got deleted this morning, so I won't get sent the download).

Too many threads for me to find them but someone on the /tv/ thread said he was an extra for World Peace 2 and showed a BTS pic of Fatty and Sylvia on a game show-type stand with I think Nick playing the host. Posted other pics with the crew. You can dig through the archives if you're curious about it

Letty in a twitterspace today.

Josie Update:
Unclear when she'll be streaming. Surprised no one on the crew can spin her up in a day for at least a basic stream.

@afternoon_tea Kiwifarms won't let me quote you because, idfk.

I enjoyed a lot of the low key moments too. It was that sort of human stuff that got me attached to the fish and made me care about what happened to them. Usually stuff like that would happen as I was unwinding for the day and I'd just chill out and crochet and see what they were up to, it was relaxing.

A lot of people's favorite challenge was the original Cell where the majority of it was just a bunch of people sitting in a room together needing to pee. It's hard to explain to people who never got into the show, it's just a "you had to be there to understand" thing.

There's a really boring film term that doesn't fit exactly but maybe gets my point across - the Kuleshov Effect. I could just define it but maybe this is a better demonstration:
Walter White is shown making a blank face. Then a fly is shown. The camera looks back at White, still making the same face.
He hates the fly. You feel closer to Walter because you were on the same page, feeling frustrated that there is a fly. He didn't need to look frustrated, you just empathized with him and figured out what he was feeling and that's how you feel closer.

I shit on Vance a lot but there was a good example of this during Sylvia's Mental Breakdown. He couldn't get a word in to encourage her because TTSes were flooding in sending her abuse, so he spent a lot of that time sitting with her in B2 in total silence. Once she decided to rejoin the other fish in the kitchen he stayed in the hall, looking down the stairs and not saying anything or even showing much of his face to the camera for a few minutes. I stuck around because I figured, he's camera-aware, he might comment, he didn't though, but he just stood like that for a few minutes.
But watching him, you feel that empathy ("Sylvia goes through so much" "Sylvia is strong for not quitting tonight") and his own frustrations ("I can't make TTS stop" "I can't find the words to help her") insecurities ("Am I still too upset by this to go downstairs?" "If this happens to me one day will I make it out?") maybe the shittier thoughts ("Is Sylvia dead weight?")

At one point in his rumination he started sniffing, and it was like, yeah bro. I feel you.

On a typical reality show they don't have a lot of spare time so they just flash some retard's faces on the screen to demonstrate their shock and disgust, but since the pace of Fishtank was real-time, if you wanted, you could just sit with someone while they processed something and that made them more real.

Last area to be used during the finale.
