TVMaxwell / Max Forrest / Maxwell Forrest Denenberg - Popular comedy YouTuber who disappeared for 4 years and came back with a mental breakdown

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I personally think this guy bears watching, even though he may not be the type of crazy that somebody like Liz Lansing is (and even she has gotten to the point where she's not really funny anymore, and her estranged husband is a New Age hippy type who keeps enabling her but doesn't want to admit it) it may still be worth chronicling him.

It's common for schizos to suddenly unravel, they keep the steadily worsening racket in their heads a secret until the dam breaks and suddenly they're irretrievably batshit. Being "lost" is another thing with people who are mentally ill for ages and then their family finally gets them to take meds, they can look back on the depths of their crazy and say "holy shit, who WAS that fucktard?"

The whole PANDAS thing may be just a ruse cooked up by his family to get him to take his meds. Schizos generally refuse to take their meds, so I can imagine the family saying "sure, you're not crazy, you have Mufflegwuph Syndrome, and the meds treat it, now take them so the brain lining inflammation goes down!"

And yeah anybody who is a big landowner on California's Central Coast has more money than God, and it's always been that way-Hearst Castle, anybody? When people think of San Luis Obispo they think of Cal Poly, but outside of the university and SLO proper there are some truly jaw dropping estates. I think it would be a great place for a 20something who has gone off the skitzo deep end to hang out in, especially if the alternative is NYC.
 
Poor guy. He really needs to stop making these videos, and just work on himself. I had to unsub, because I couldn't take watching all the rants that go on and on saying the same thing over and over.
My sentiments exactly.

Solid OP, some things seem a bit rambling than I'd like but otherwise, solid OP.

When Max came back, I found myself overjoyed with nostalgia as I found his videos hilarious. But then he explained he had mental issues, and from there it turned from "oh good he's back" to "Oh. Poor dude". What's the sad version of a lolcow? Sadcow? Something happened to him, I'm not sure but there's hints in his ramblings of several things happening.

1) If Max was on medication, he got off it on one point.
2) Max, in NY, isolated himself. Had no support network besides family
3) obvious bad relationship with his parents
4) and what literally everyone's thinking of, schizophrenia. Through the ramblings and sad rants, Max has given us a very questionable narrative.

If we're to document Max, I question our fellow farmers. Do we document Max as he is, recording his descent into madness? Or do we document him like any other subject on the site? A recording of full history, and dox?

Edit: After wondering what happened to the other half of Tvmaxwell, who's credited as both Jack Lynch, and J. Doern, I went on a 30 minute google search and found this linkedin profile, (I think it's him. Shit, sure looks like him). And that the high school both went to is called Rye Neck High School.

As far as I'm concerned, Jack Lynch seems to be doing ok. It's a shame that he and Max are not talking. They seemed very close.

Its been awhile. Max has been very silent the past couple of months but I have good news to share.

Max seems to be doing MUCH better now.

From what I gather from his Instagram, he has been spending a lot of time with his family and trying to make short skits and videos again, often with his mom.

There is no sign of the whole 18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25 madness and most of his videos he seems to be a lot less manic. He might have a chance to leave sadcow territory and although he's still very eccentric he might see a recovery.

This is very good news, glad to see he’s recovering
 
Found the epic bread 🍞
Jew Yorker here, I grew up in the same county as this guy and he was a regular at a job I had. If he read this thread he’d know immediately who I was because I was probably the only “fan” of his he’s ever met based on how he used to act around me. He totally recoiled and seemed really perturbed that I knew his channel on YouTube, after my initial “I watch your videos” introduction he seemed genuinely disturbed by me. Maybe it was the tits. That wouldn’t stop him from like hovering for excessive time at my job. His parents were definitely wealthy and the culture of that area in New York is FUCKING DYSTOPIAN. Regardless, I could tell he was... off.
 
I used to have have a collection of Instagram stories of him doing a skit about a guy who keeps getting abducted and anal probed.
Despite the video just being him point a camera at himself and making shit up as he goes along, it was one of his funniest skits and definitely my favorite if not tied with my favorite.
I don't have the video anymore, I looked everywhere on my old device and online and it can't be found. I saved it just in case but didn't back it up online and it seems no one else did either. Really disappointing because I think about that skit a lot.
 
Hi this is Max from TVMaxwell. I appreciate the concern. I’m on a lot of meds now and am doing okay. I’m going back to school as well.

Is there anyway to delete this thread so it doesn’t pop up when I’m job searching?

It would mean a lot to me. Again, thank you very much for the concern

@TVMaxwell the whole reason why this thread was made was to archive this saga of yours. We could have it in proving grounds or even spergatory which are both hidden from the public, I'm not sure what the best decision would be, and you would have to ask staff or the owner @Null.
 
I'm for deleting, Max isn't a lolcow, he's a talented guy, he just suffered a brief meltdown. He asked nicely, isn't sperging out at us, he was polite, but its ultimately Null's choice. This thread isn't big enough for a "rules of nature" & Max was brave to show his face here, I hope Null respects that.
 
Threads rarely get deleted and especially if you were an adult at the time. Being a crazy person at the time of your sperging has not gotten threads removed in the past. Shouldn't have made your crazy rambling meltdown public for the world to archive. Thanks for the milk though bud.
