I forgot his admiration of Magneto, and how he really believes that is the right path to take, rather than seeing a tragic character who has survived a horrible ordeal and became the very monster that tortured him as a child. Guess the "he who fights monsters" quote rings hollow for Bob

Spoiler: Bob needs a moment like this to happen to him

Magneto looks like he's about to burst into tears.

Also Jesus Christ, Bob. We're the bad guys while you fantasize about genocide? I'm sure plenty of people on this site have been bullied at some point, hell I was bullied for being a "white" kid with a black father, and I doubt they wish everyone dead.

 

[Walter Temple]

I completely forgot about him defending Other M. Didn't he defend it on the grounds that people were being racist toward the creators rather than it just being a sorta mediocre game that completely shat on Samus?

He also proposed that since Samus didn't talk, her badass bounty hunter personality was entirely in the heads of the fans. She didn't *have* a character to ruin.

It's similar to when he said that new episodes of "The Simpsons" are not less funny than classic seasons 1-9 Simpsons. Apparently, we were all just younger then and easier to impress.

Bob is an idiot. And alarmingly willing to excuse shitty media he's fond of on the grounds of "people aren't appreciating it right."

As much as we make fun of Bob's "exceptional" viewpoints, (and rightfully so), he honestly strikes me as an ugly-bitter man who cannot let go of his anger and hatred and truthfully that is what will destroy him

As someone who wasn't alive during The Simpsons' golden years, what Bob says about modern Simpsons is pure delusion. I didn't watch "classic" Simpsons until several years ago, and even I can tell you current Simpsons lacks the sharp wit and punch of the golden seasons.

I think Bob's the one whose easier to impress if anything if he somehow thinks modern Simpsons is still funny.

It's really alien to me to see a man almost twice my age being that hung up on being bullied and showing the level of contempt for the general populace Bob usually does. Maybe I'm overreacting but I can't understand this state of mind.

I grew up with The Simpsons, and the growing realization the show was slipping was something that transcended every age group that enjoyed it. I remember *specific episodes* we'd discuss, unable to believe that the genius was fading -- or the growing reliance on celebrity stunt cameos, or the way a "zany" B-plot would give way to the real episode plot after the first act, becoming obvious filler.

This asshole isn't fit to criticize Mentos commercials.

He has "arrested development" as many Kiwis have said countless pages before this one, meaning though he has grown up, his emotional state has never left High school, and if you read his book, you can clearly tell this wasn't a good portion of his life. Though he is too arrogant to get any therapy as also in the book you read how as a child he would read child therapy books thinking he is outsmarting the therapist, but in actuality probably robbed him of some actual help.

It's part of what makes him pretty irritating as a Cow. Proteus was right when he posted here that it's pointless to get angry over him because ultimately, he has absolutely no power and is just a joke. But I think what makes him so hateable is that he's acting like myself and lets face it, a few of us acted the same way, when I was in high school, convinced of our own superiority and that your dumb classmates should be denied the future right to vote. The problem is, I grew out of that phase and when I see someone older than me expressing these things, it makes me feel very annoyed that he has not matured the same way.

I think everyone remembers the moment when they realized that The Simpsons was dead. For me, it was the episode that had N'Sync on it. There were certainly horrible episodes before that, but when the writers had four nine year old boys excited to see N'Sync showing up, I realized they were at a point where they were kissing the celebrity guests asses. (Which is funny, because that episode wasn't that bad, compared to others around then.)

They certainly did have to put up with celebrity guests demands before that though. Jose Canseco, or rather his wife, objected to their original script for him in the baseball episode, originally having him being seduced by Mrs. Krapappel, but because they were creative enough, they managed to make a different scenario which was an over the top positive portrayal, and most of all, still funny.

Anyway, there's really no point in getting mad over someone saying Simpsons is still good. It's like seeing someone stepping in dog shit and they keep denying it's dog shit.

Bob goes full wigger over Black Panther:

So iconic, that he's calling her iconic before it even comes out. I bet that she'll be so "instantly iconic" that I'll forget her name and just call her Lupita like every other side character in these things.

Bob "Totally 100% not a weeaboo" Chipman.

Of course he has to throw in an unnecessary Trump dig. Even when he plays happy pretend black man, he's still miserable:

Tell me more about Black Culture, Mr. Kebab:

Here he is being a honorary black man with Bill Maher:

Because I can think of a thousand better games than fucking River Raid?

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:

It’s actually somewhat rare that I second-guess myself on anything to do with my various projects shared with you folks here.

That sounds arrogant, but I genuinely feel like about 80% of it is a function of working on a pretty breakneck schedule: With the exception of episodes that require extra research/prep or are held for specific times of the year, your average episode of IN BOB WE TRUST takes shape in my head around Saturday night/Sunday morning and gets worked on into the overnight Sunday for a Monday morning release. I actually prefer doing it this way, because it keeps things about as current as I can keep them and let’s me react to things in a pretty immediate way.

To use a recent example: I didn’t decide to do a show about the LAST MAN STANDING cancellation controversy until I heard about the petitions gaining steam, which was really close to the weekend on my end – that’s turned out to be one of the more popular shows of late. On the flip side, the yet-untitled “How I’d Have Fixed Spider-Man’s MCU Debut” episode(s) are currently being pre-written because that’s going to be a project, but the final production will be as close to launch (currently hoping to drop PART I the week of HOMECOMING, so PART II can have the Monday after it opens – no promises though.)

However, there’s a direction I’ve been going back and forth on vis-a-vi whether or not it’s a good idea, and since you’re the audience I figured it was a good idea to solicit feedback. So, here goes: How do you feel about topics/subjects that were previously featured as episodes of my earlier series, THE BIG PICTURE, being revisited in similar (but not directly-reproduced) fashion as part of IN BOB WE TRUST?

For context, in case some of you came aboard within the last few years and thus may not be 100% up to speed: My catch-all pop-culture series IN BOB WE TRUST is, in tone and area(s)-of-focus, something like an unrelated (and unofficial!) successor to the legacy of THE BIG PICTURE; which was a series I had previously produced while under contract to a website known as The Escapist. Owing to boring specifics of contracts and agreements, the rights to broadcast/re-post episodes of THE BIG PICTURE (all 225 of them, give or take) – which I wrote, recorded, compiled and edited entirely on my own with only a handful of recurring visual assets and some music cues provided by the content-host – are owned entirely by the corporation which now owns what remains of that site.

What this means is that, whereas I am able to collect a (relatively small) amount of advertising profit when you watch episodes of IN BOB WE TRUST on my YouTube Channel, I am unable to derive a similar traffic-benefit from current viewings of content produced for BIG PICTURE or other prior series because I am not permitted under old agreements to feature them on my own channel. To be clear: I acknowledge that this is absolutely fair, legal and undisputed on my end… it just kind of sucks, you know? And on the less innately-selfish side of this, a lot of these episodes were “starmaking” turns for my brand that I’m both very proud of and are still among the most widely viewed and shared material I’ve produced, but because of the era in which they were originally posted to their current homes on YouTube they are mainly available in low-quality versions that not only don’t reflect the current quality of my work, they don’t even reflect their original quality. That bugs me.

While I can’t discuss the specifics for a variety of reasons, I’ve had several discussions with relevant parties about reclaiming full or partial rights to re-feature my older work; but thus far have not achieved satisfactory results. As such, I’ve begun to seriously consider doing new episodes of IN BOB WE TRUST that would cover topics previously featured on older series like THE BIG PICTURE. To be clear: These would be new scripts, new edits, new graphics, etc; and the subjects in question would be mainly “this is a thing that exists” episodes, not necessarily issue/”essay” episodes. Example: Old cartoons (Street Sharks, Samurai Pizza Cats, the “lost” Super Mario Bros or TMNT Anime features), bizarre comic book lore (The Spider-Man Clone Saga, the two different Captain Marvels, etc) that sort of thing.

I realize that this might sound like a whole lot of fretting over nothing to some: “It’s your show, man – talk about the same thing twice or however many times you want!” But it really does matter to me that I’m NOT producing filler or content-for-content’s sake – I’ve worked hard and, in many cases, taken the more difficult road in order to build a name for myself as a writer, critic and content producer so that my fans, followers and viewers know that even when I put out a Top 10 show or a “listical” there’s real thought and depth put into it. And even though I’m confident that just the years having passed alone would result in a Street Sharks show now being suitably different from one produced 4-5 years ago, the prospect of my audience feeling cheated to see a topic being “revisited” rather than something 100% new worries me. A lot.

That’s not to say that I’m putting whether or not I do these sorts of shows at some point in the future up for some kind of “vote” – I’ll do it if it feels right, and won’t if it doesn’t. But I’d genuinely appreciate it if anyone who felt particularly strongly one way or the other on the subject wanted to weigh in with their thoughts.

Thank you for your time,
-Bob

He only hates white poor people, because they have the audacity to not want robots and Indian temps take over their jobs. He seems like he has no ill will towards poor minorities who work shitty retail and service jobs because I guess like most modern American liberals he just assumes they'll all get Ph.Ds in microbiology once whitey takes the boot off their necks.

Basically that's the crux of his argument. White poor people are beneath contempt because they choose to be poor.

This is something that amuses me to no end. I always wonder what it would take for people like him to realize that, just like their pet minorities, poor whites and Southerners are largely stuck stuck in ther situations for old reasons beyond their control.

I fully agree with this. To cut down on the powerlevel, part of the reason I watched Bob was because I was a pretentious little shit who thought he had better gaming tastes than everyone else, especially in regards to FPS and mainstream games.

But the thing is I grew out of that phase. I started playing FPS games and opened my mind to different genres. I started to realize it wasn't everyone else who was an idiot, it was me all along. And by extension, I began to realize Bob was a close-minded imbecile who talks big but really says nothing. How sad is it that this 36 year old man behaves the same as most high school students?

And then he started talking about politics and then it became crystal clear about how much of an idiot he is.

There's a good article on Dead Homer Society (which admittedly tends towards angry Simpsons :autism that takes apart that video.

I don't see how any MCU redesign is ironic, they try to go "muh realism" like it's still the early 2000s yet clutter their designs with pointless shit like all the black bars on Spider-Man. I see people always claiming comic book costumes don't work on the big screen but we already have a handful of examples proving that wrong if you put effort in (Hell, some cosplayers make better suits). They're all severely overdesigned.

Please Bob, don't start going into the black fetishization camp. All those people are creeps.

A character can look cool regardless of skin colour and can become as iconic as a white man. Morgan Freeman, Samuel L Jackson, all of them have been in roles that have become iconic. Nobody should fellate them just because their black and looking cool though.

 

[AngeloTheWizard]

He also proposed that since Samus didn't talk, her badass bounty hunter personality was entirely in the heads of the fans. She didn't *have* a character to ruin.

You know, for as much of a lolcow as Jim Sterling himself is, he had a good point when he picked apart Doomguy in the new Doom, stating that though he is silent, he has a character all his own. He smashes the monitor when Samuel contacts him after getting the suit, and when Samuel talks to him on the elevator, saying it was for the greater good, he looks down at a dead body as if to say "there's humanity. Does he look 'helped' to you?" and then smash. These little elements elevate Doomguy from being a simple berserker to someone who actually has a moral center and is using it to stand against the demon hordes.

It's the same with Samus. She's had little moments over the years, as well as a well done backstory that spans the entire franchise, with each game revealing a little more. She's not just an unthinking berserker, she's going after the Space Pirates because they killed her family and anyone she ever cared about. Vengeance is her path, and she will walk it until the heat death of the universe.

But I'll stop sperging and just leave on this point: Any one of us could do Bob's "job" better then he can. Probably because we stayed awake in the English classes that talked about plot and characterization instead of re-reading Atlas Shrugged for the millionth time.

I wasn't commenting on them being black. I was talking about MCU costumes being overdesigned trash you can't remember walking out of the theater.

If you're talking about the "black fetishization" line, I was talking about people who are obsessed and have a "black master race" world view.

 

[Lorento]

If you're talking about the "black fetishization" line, I was talking about people who are obsessed and have a "black master race" world view.

I was more referring to that lol. I interpreted 'Black fetishisation' as someone slobbering over a character because of their blackness, rather than because they are an awesome character. Yours make sense though.
