I guess he is the kind of person that felt it was wrong to have Elliot be the main protagonist in The Lego Movie about a literal "Mediocre" person managing to save the day and even humanize the villain of the story and felt it should have been Wildstyle who went and just used her skills to save the day

 

[Mola Ram]

How pathetic you have to be to feel that "the common man" is pushing you down?

Because deep down Bob knows he's worse than the common man. Contributes nothing but utterly pointless criticism and nostalgia essays that will never uplift, enlighten, or be remembered; unfuckable and unlovable; living in a basement he doesn't own; buried under rolls of lard; few friends, especially in meatspace; no camaraderie; and his hobby has left him behind ... or he outgrew it and can't stand to admit it.

He'd be really, really pitiable if he wasn't so fucking nasty.

 

[Kyria the Great]

Well I will be damned, he did miss part of the point of the story of the Lego Movie. Did he even mention how Morgan Freeman's character lied to Elliot to get him to go along with it.

 

[RockVolnutt]

Does he say what Kyria the Great said? I'm not watching a Bob video and having them keep show up in my recommended videos. Thanks for a TL;DR.

Bob hates underdog stories. That's it, really. If you look at what his "ideal" re-writes for stories are, most of the time they turn an underdog story completely on its head. Just to grab the most obvious example: his Terminator re-write is about an unstoppable metal killing machine turning those DANG DIRTY POORS to pulp for not rolling over and accepting that they're outmoded untermensch. Bob hates everymen because, most of the time, everymen star in underdog stories, while Bob wants stories about The Elites crushing the Untermenchen under their heel. It's just another extension of his revenge fantasies against the jocks who bullied him in high school. Of course, there ARE exceptions, but they seem to mostly function as "the underdogs THIS TIME are members of the Glorious Progressive Future crushing the Animals of the Regressive Past" (like Wolfenstein).

It wouldn't be accurate to say that nobody would see his emotionally unstable, horribly written anti-underdog movies. I could maybe think of two people: Bob spanking it, and his brother who's there out of pity sitting all alone in a theater.

 

[Kyria the Great]

I am sure that from Bob's deluded worldview that Scarface, rather than be the cautionary tale of the rise and fall of a "common man" who went from nothing and did whatever it took to have everything, would be instead about how society keeps down the Latino minorities.

 

[RockVolnutt]

So why does he support the representation argument if he hates everymen though? Just because someone isn't white/male/straight doesn't keep them from being an average joe. Is he implying they're the powerful elites of society or implying something else?

I'm getting lost trying to follow this.

Its called being an ideologue. You assert something is 100% one way and once something comes along to put cracks in your flawed way of thinking, you do gold medal gymnast levels of rationalizing your position to where when you are right your right, and when you are wrong, your still right somehow

2. CNN was incredibly forgiving towards Rena Aslan after he ate human brains on camera. Name one profession where you could do that and they'd still let you keep your job.

Wait what the fuck--

Also, he has a new article where he talks about revisiting older episodes because he ran out of material and wants to screw over The Escapist wants to revisit older episodes that he found interesting. Also he talks about how episodes were "starmaking turns for his brand". I've posted the whole thing below:

Bob is one of those people with a talent for saying a lot of words while saying very little.

I don't have enough "Agree" ratings for this.

 

[Kyria the Great]

One quote I love actually sums up Bob very well. "He is a man that admires butterflies for their beauty, but crushes caterpillars in disgust," Really sums up how truly surface level that man really is.

Ideology and diabeetus have tag-teamed his brain into a soup. Don't bother trying to find logic here.

Ooh, here's a story I love!
So, Reza Aslan was doing a documentary series in the vein of Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" called "Believer", where he goes around the world and lives with fringe religious groups. In the very first episode, he travels to India to live with the Aghori (lit. "Those without fear"), who are a sect of Hinduism that rejects traditional Hindu purity laws. Of course, these people are kind of secretive due to their... eccentric behavior, so Reza had to track them down first through one of their more moderate members (who showed off his Shiva Rave Shrine that he'd stuffed full of electronic lights and the human skulls he used as table settings). Once he managed to find a group of them (there were four of them sitting around a campfire on the other side of the Ganges from a major city), they turned out to be bugfuck insane: they made Reza, a mysophobe, jump into the Ganges, smeared his face with the ashes of a cremated Hindi, and, finally, convinced him to eat with them out of a skull. Of course, it turned out that the meat in the skull may (AFAIK nothing definitive was found out) have been someone's charred brain matter or other meat after their body was ritually burned and lugged into the Ganges (as the Hindi have done for thousands of years). Reza was then shaken down for booze by the Aghori, threatened with a kukri probably carved out of a human bone (using human remains for everything is kind of the Aghori's thing: the ultimate way to prove their belief that nothing can make you impure) for trying to act like a scholar instead of just getting piss-faced with them, and finally, forced to flee after a member started to eat his own shit (and, while they fled, flung it at the camera crew like a fucking gibbon). He then spent the rest of the episode with a bunch of pussified feel-good Aghoris who took care of orphans of the Untouchable caste, instead of the kick-ass insane death cultists. Pretty quality TV.

He's still bitching about The Last Night because a graper is way more successful than him and his butt buddies having reservations about technology makes you a "mediocre shitbag" and equal to The Unabomber in his eyes:

Also isn't he aware that Theodore Kaczynski was in college unethically tested on going to deeply destroy any sense of self worth so hard that it is very clearly possible that he only developed his Luddist viewpoints simply because some jackass trying to advance science thought it would be a good idea to use someone as a human lab rat?

 

[AnOminous]

Honestly a future where the sense of purpose in the world is melted away by mechanization sounds rather scary. Why does Bob hate the "common man" characters in movies, books, and television shows?

Because he looks absolutely and utterly pathetic even compared to mediocrity.

 

[Gordon Cole]

Opening yourself up to a different genre? Pfffffffffft! He's too superior and worldly to play a Turn-Based (Not RTS) game:

Yay! He's bringing back "(anime avatar)" as a rebuttal!

I'm excited about that because I can finally post this:

Even the comments are mostly people done with him pulling this shit:

X-COM isn't even real-time; it's turn-based. Bob's talking out of his swollen ass.

 

[Kyria the Great]

By that same metric, isn't it being mediocre that rather than creating your own movies, television shows, art, etc and just have a career criticizing it without a sense of uniqueness by definition mediocrity?

Holy shit, the Mario/Rabbids crossover really will be his blarms. I can't wait for the eventual "FIX MARIO'S UNIVERSE IMMEDIATELY NINTENDO!" video.

Seriously, only a person as :autism: as Blob is can call a harmless strategy game "Vandalism" and an "abomination". I feel bad for the Gamestop employee in Boston who's getting pepper-sprayed at the end of this.

I'm hoping it's a success so we can see where this path will take the thread. Please make sequels, Nintendo.
