Like the title says. I saw Sam Hyde live earlier this week. If you're feeling TLDR, skip to the last paragraph.
His act isn't the point of this post, though, it is relevant, and I will say, it wasn't what I expected. I had a long drive home and it was late, like 12:30 in the morning late when the show got out, and if I wanted to wait probably another hour and half in another line, I could have meet & greeted with Sam, Nick, Charles, and Chris... but I don't know at that point, wait aside, if I would have even wanted to. They're all how they are in person on stage, as they are on screen, as far as sound, look, and personality goes. Things were just so uncouth, combined with the audience demographic, honestly, in a word, it was embarrassing being there.
Which brings me to one of my points, and I'm not even being funny, but if you want to see the largest group of, in Sam & Nick's own words, "freaks," and in my words, incels, go to one of their shows. This is going to sound like a backhand to anyone reading this, but holy shit, sausage fest, which isn't surprising considering it's MDE, but even then, it was almost entirely a room full of fat, poorly & weirdly dressed, poorly groomed, short, socially inept, autistic, frankly demented looking... cringe, audience side of things. I say, not to shit on them, but for the purpose of saying to myself and anyone reading this, if you want to see and experience a large sampling of what we must seem like to any given normie, go see Sam live. I don't know if it's always been this way, or, I haven't really kept tabs on Fish Tank at all, but maybe that is why there's a huge influx of Zoomers into his fan base.
Not just appearances, but socially, and I'm not saying this is all of, "us," but jeez man, the other group at the table I was sat at, laughably anti-social and inept. Ignore me the first time I greet them. When I finally do get them to say something, I'm surprised to hear that they're friends and know each other, I say that I was surprised, because they weren't talking amongst themselves at all before the show, just kind of awkwardly sitting there in silence like strangers, poorly interacting with the waitress. Even when out in public at an event where everyone there must have a shared interest, there was no interest in socializing. Go to a show, and gain an increased sense of self awareness, and even feel like a Chad, relatively speaking.
The performance. Yes, I laughed, there were a lot of good jokes, but there was also plenty of laughably bad optics, and I don't mean the jokes themselves. This wasn't like Sam's old stand up if you've seen it, where his intent on stage is to inflame the audience. Though, as a funny aside, when a heckler, not even a heckler, but some dude that wouldn't shut up, Nick & Sam referred to this person as something along the lines of, "a retarded autistic little puzzle piece," before having them removed from the show.
Back to what I was saying, these shows are Sam entertaining his fans, his core audience, so when he does something offensive, like when he did his, "you might be Mike Brown if," bit back in the day, fast forward to now, the set was a lot of Indian people shit in the streets and eat shit, (which reminds me of another funny aside, basically there was a really upset looking native guy right in front of the stage, who, I think may have been so upset, because he thought that they meant natives when they said Indians.) and black people are violent as the punchline over and over.
I'll give Sam credit at least, having half of your jokes revolve around, can I type N!gga & N!gg3r, (uncensored here?) when the security staff is visibly agitated buff black dudes, is a funny flex. Beyond that, when your audience looks like a bunch of freaks, and you fire off 20 jokes in a row that practically just end right away with, "please sir may I have more diarrhea, I'm fucking Indian, I love shit,"...
Basically, in a sentence, when your audience looks like it does, to a third party observer, "normie," the real joke, has got to be the cringey room full of incelibate white men, laughing at the most crude, unclever bits. I wasn't so in my head about all that, that I didn't enjoy the show, but that thought struck me like a bullet, how fucking cringe all of this must be to a third party observer. Think table top game store customers, but somehow worse. Makes me want to find out what Chads do for hobbies, just for the sake of better group association. Is this my call to action to join a gym, lol wtf.
