Zach always was the best cast member in sleepy cabin because he was funny and able to adapt to his cohosts.

He always was and still is the funniest of the bunch. Cringe fans on reddit won't change that.
 
with this Alladin playthrough I'm reminded of how most old platformers were garbage, too focused on looking good and not decent controls and gameplay
 
Ding Dong is genuinely funny. Julian not so much in the older ones but he's gotten funnier in the episodes where he and Ding Dong have returned.
Ding Dong plays well with Chris and Julian. Ding Dong's streams on their own quickly devolve into him beating himself up and whining because he's a narcissist. Even having Julian there cheers him up considerably.

I will also point out the majority of Oneyplays' popularity and original jokes stem from the two fags vs. Zach, Tomar, Lyle or any other replacement. Something about the current arrangement saps Chris' creativity. You can hear it in his voice when you compare the old DD+J videos vs. more recent ones. Or just watch one of those older videos where Chris is capable of putting random people out of breath because he's just that amusing to them:
 
i def enjoy tomar-- the shit i find most annoying about him is the "tomar's emeralds/ tomar's warcrimes" stuff the fandom runs into the ground, which isn't his fault.
I still enjoy the jokes implying that Tomar murders people and beats his wife and is a freak mutant who does warcrimes and shit. They're especially funny now that Chris and the guys generally don't want people to make them.

The YIIK episodes were hard to watch. Its awkward, like they're trying to avoid being anything like their old selves or making any jokes that would upset eachother.

Having your other hosts be straight men (not sexually, comically) or fill the same role Chris usually does in starting jokes or hypotheticals is probably a lot more limiting in what you can do.

I won't humor the Zach schizo but I will say that as early as Sleepy Cabin I got the feeling Zach relies on 3 jokes which he repeats endlessly. It feels stilted.

That put it into words better than I could. Also, Ding Dong explicitly forbid Chris and Julian from repeating jokes at all, so the only times they did it was for good effect. I can still autistically recall the OUYA vid where Chris brought up the boiling milk again and Ding Dong, audibly trying to hide that he found it funny, told him to cut it out.
 
I thought they mentioned that on the oblivion stream and said they generally don't care?
Haven't actually watched the Oblivion streams yet. The last thing I recall is a couple con appearances and vids where they politely ask people to cool it with calling Tomar wife-beating murderer everywhere he gets brought up.

It's just recycled Jerma psycho jokes. Jerma also hated them because they are lazy and unfunny.
 
Also if Chris has such excruciating back pain, to the point he apparently needs to lie flat for the recordings, why doesn't he take his dumbass to the doctor and get fixed up? If he keeps just trying to suffer through it he's gonna end up royally fucking himself over sooner than later. I can't imagine it's solely a money issue if the guy can even entertain the idea of an actual grand piano. Like even the cheapest ones are still upwards of 14k USD. I'd imagine that, if you're a rational adult, fixing your cripplingly chronic back issues would take priority over a piano.
I had severe back pain that lasted weeks that prevented me from laying down. I went to the emergency twice and all the doctors did was give me painkillers and told me that I just have to wait it out. I was essentially told there wasn't much they could do and would only consider surgery if it persisted after a month.

I don't think Ding Dong and Julian have anything to do with Chris being checked out. I think it's a combination of Chris getting older and less interested in let's plays and also him being in chronic pain.

Chris has said many times he's gained a lot of weight and won't go to the gym. He has also mentioned his dad has a bad back but that doesn't seem as relevant.

It is relevant, the causes of back pain can be genetic or environmental.

It's probably a bit of everything. I think Julian was right about Lets Plays all along, he didn't want to become a marketable figure stuck on being a Lets Player for all his life, which ironically was what happened to Chris. His vent post in his tumblr gets less ridiculous as time goes on.
