Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace

A show too good for this world. Episode is a surreal masterpiece. Every time I go back and try to watch just one episode, I involuntarily end up watching the whole show.

In the year of our Lord 2021, stuff and people and things get banned, delisted, shadowbanned, cancelled left and right (mostly right). This will in no way come to bite the banners, delisters etc in the behind anytime soon.

Oh yeah, the show. When somebody wants you to not see or be able to access something, that means you need to go ahead and check it out. ASAP.

Sam Lanza is a visionary, but his radical centrist friends Charls and Nick concern me. Used car salesmen and knife school members. Very strange. It's hard to properly access these characters but I remain riveted, despite my man Joel Bernstein's devastating articles.

All in all I'll grudgingly give this show 10/10, though I feel it's derivative of H3H3 productions.

There's a lot to unpack here, and it's left me literally shaking. We're in 2020...

Well I just loved it, this show was absolutely AWESOME!

A great first episode from the lovely guys at Million Dollar Extreme --a_s_s_in_t_--. SAM HYDE

3 greatly crafted sketches, with a little bit of social commentary if you really look deep into the 2nd skit. I particularly enjoyed Sam Hyde's illustration of ***TRIGGER WARNING*** r a p e /bully culture within our institutions particularly our educational institutions. Clearly the work of one of the nations leading Feminists, the crew not only display a message effectively, but they do so without it being too much in your face. --H_LA_Y-- SAM HYDE

I hope I see much more great work from the guys over at Adult Swim --;)))--... and the guys at Million Dollar Extreme too. I sense great things are in store for us from these guys, and it will be in the form of a package... a package full of great belly laughs and joyous cheer.

Comedy is meant to push the envelope and to talk truth to power. Comedy that supports mainstream establishment positions is forgettable as it is useless.

People will say "this show is an excuse for hate." Yeah you're m******ing right it is. What comedy isn't an excuse for hate? You think Richard Pryor was sitting around thinking about how great everything was? Comedy comes from rage and fury. Rage and fury at a status quo that coerces you constantly. Realizing these coercions is the point of comedy. Comedy is discomfort. It's what the laughter arrives to remedy. That's particular true in absurdist comedy.

The humor herein is absurdist and on the far edge of comedy. Slowly but surely it will give way to its ideas being more mainstream (you can already see watered down, apologetic versions in the comedy of Joe Rogan and Bill Burr. The fact that it has been banned will only, ultimately, increase the power of comedy as Hyde et al become martyrs.

Ultimately, both the horrible and awesome thing is that it is being banned and shunned. Horrible because I can barely stand to see the hypocrisy of the people who call themselves comics trying to get the show canceled (they're not actually comics). Awesome because it means that we're finally getting a real counterculture back, one that can't be immediately bought and sold back to us like skateboarding. This show was a hit. The fact that it was still taken off the air says a lot. Remember the 90s when they tried to get rap music banned everywhere? Say hello to the new rebellion.
