His best works are the Chris D'Elia doll, 444 with Nick DiPaolo, reviewing Tony Hinchcliffe's documentary and pointing out that Joey Diaz is a Xanax addict. Everything else is like an 80% waste of time.
we can tell you only watch the youtube clips faggot.
Easily one of my favorite moments from the show was when he watched Fixin' Joe. because in the span of 3 hours you see Mike go from happy fun loving, complimenting joe and defending his seemingly minor fuck ups, to hating the guy with a fucking passion. its like speed running how he feels about all his current fools. between that and the next episode where he lets Joe have it for threatening him. its the perfect origin story for Joe Matterese's infamy.
Especially because Mike didn't even want to do it, Ryan Katsu Rivera forced him to watch the whole thing. Mike thought people were just wasting his time with demanding he watch it at first. "oh so this open micer didn't destroy during the monologue
So What! Its hard to control a crowd especially for a newbie which this grey haired italian american clearly is he did amazingly well considering the circumstances" But no; thats not why people demanded he watch, and went full green eggs and ham on him to watch it.
And with that came one of the greatest slow turns in the history of redbar.
Imagine this
only over a period of 3 hours. Mike goes from "this guy is doing great you all just don't realize how hard hosting is; especially when you don't have experience" to "this 30 year veteran of comedy has no right to be so defensive, how much of a retard are you to not be able to handle the bants. he had no right to be up there with comedy legends and should have been physcially removed from the stage. he shouldn't even be allowed in comedy clubs anymore" Then the next episode where he spends another 2 hours going off on that dumb wop for threatening his life over a joke video literally only a couple thousand people saw and he declared war on joe. its fucking amazing.
This wasn't some Patrick thing where he said tweeted something to his 100 followers and some random psycho decided to post it to a subreddit and ruin a guys life. Joe was like the shithead teen in a slasher film, just doing mistake after mistake and then decided to try bullying someone he thought was weaker than him.
I'd say you've only watched the YouTube clips. There's some great stuff in his older videos like the time he peer pressured a guy into drinking his own urine, taking mushrooms, then feeding him edibles and proceeding to scare him for hours. Or the time he kicked his cohost out of the studio for refusing to laugh at jew jokes because he had a jewish girlfriend. Or the water park special episode where he just prank calls different establishments and listeners grandmothers.
Here's the clip where a retard drinks his own piss

the prank calls themselves are legendary, for fucks sake it was those and his obama/michael jackson bits that are the main reason people gave a fuck back in 2003-2006. easily the best prank phone calls i've heard in my entire life and i've heard them all.
I’d say his best work was original comedy content he took time and effort to produce with people who were his actual friends instead of 8 hours of talking to his private Facebook group about Instagram posts and rewinding YouTube videos to make snarky comments about people no one cares about.
it was blatantly obvious even during those episodes that none of those people were friends with mike, Mike just used RDR2 Dutch-esque charm to con them into the idea of "join now and when i get big you'll be set for life" and everyone imagined a O&A situation where by being co-hosts/regulars on the show they would indeed get the fanbase that would set them for life. the fact that he was getting paid and watched by thousands and they were shitting out open mics for less than a dozen people meant they thought they were getting in on the ground floor of literally the next O&A.
Mike completely ruined what tenuous friendships he had with the director of King Kong, Monte the Mont Man, Renee (Victoria beckham's assisstant) and multiple other people because it was hilarious fodder for the show.
. you could tell from what was said even during the shows, none of them particularly liked mike and were doing their best to try to cuck him. Joe,Dean,James and others all said on mic during episodes themselves that they were jealous of Mike's relationship with Katie and thought he was dating well above his league.
Beyond that the comedy he produced was dogshit, it was generic for its day. it was something that was exactly thesame dogshit you'd see on funny or die from any other group of people. you're the dipshit who thinks Vampire Boss is the height of redbar comedy.
