I hate when famous celebrities do cameos and just do absolutely nothing. I would’ve had more respect for this clown and other clowns if they took themselves less seriously and leaned into being absurd versions of themselves. Like Lary David and the other celebs in Curb

Extras was great for this. I know it’s Ricky Gervais, but seeing A Listers play absurd versions (more absurd versions) of themselves was hilarious

Mentioning Ricky Gervais summons this James Acaster bit.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

A lot of the show is improv, and there are some problematic moments that extend beyond the offensive nature of the show, but if you can bare some drawn out scenes or lib moments, there are lots of gems in it. I can’t speak for recent seasons though (been going since the late 90s/early 2000s so I’m sure it’s reached dead simpsons level)

The Palestinian chicken episode is kinda hilarious but it does portray the Palestinians as antisemitic :(

Werner Herzog’s Cameo in this same show, Parks and Recreation, is absolutely legendary precisely because he leans in hard.

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
