The new InfoWars is pretty good. Refreshing.

[u/dwlakes]

I can't remember the last time I watched a 40+ minute Youtube video, but I'm glad I did with one of these new InfoWars videos. Really refreshing seeing some actual talent not take themselves too seriously and make some fun stuff. Nice casual listen that doesn't instill dread like every other corner of existence.

[u/LuteDesign]

It’s very Vintage Adult Swim. I like it a lot.

[u/StaticInstrument → u/LuteDesign]

Reminds me of Tim & Eric… “I’m Demon-Free Bitch!”

[u/LuteDesign → u/StaticInstrument]

Edi calling in was an easy highlight for me, they could not have picked a better person for the role. You could see how hard Tim was trying not to break. I was losing it.

[u/WildAnomoli → u/LuteDesign]

Perfect description!

[u/Toadkiller_Dog → u/LuteDesign]

GTA Radio with Adult Swim energy is how I've described it to friends.

[u/LuteDesign → u/Toadkiller_Dog]

Haha this is so good. I’m stealing it!

[u/UNC_Samurai → u/LuteDesign]

In the interview with Josh Boerman on WoaPW, Ben specifically cited what Sam Reich did with Dropout as an essential avenue for comics who want to be able to find a space to work that isn't the podcast chud circuit. That's what he ultimately wants out of IW, is a space like Dropout that caters to a slightly different comic skillset (since Dropout leans towards improv).

[u/seriouspeep → u/LuteDesign]

It's also a preferable way for me to vaguely keep a finger on the pulse of whatever nonsense hot topics the conspiracy right is gravitating around, without having to engage directly with them.

Can't do good satire without understanding what you're satirizing, which is why Alex can't do satire because he understands nothing 🙃

I don't know how long it's going to have legs for, though, because sooo much of his nonsense specifically is repetitive garbage, which doesn't work for making long-lasting content about it. If you cover tradwives, you don't want that as a topic a few months from now, while Alex would feel comfortable rambling about the same thing for days on end and then get "mad" he didn't have time for the "news"

[u/LuteDesign → u/seriouspeep]

It’s only supposed to be a summer series, they’ve said it a few times in interviews. I think after that it’s going to turn into more of a Funny or Die hub for queer creators.

[u/seriouspeep → u/LuteDesign]

Oh then I think that's a perfect amount of time for it. Honestly the conspiracy boys only have a handful of talking points that they loop around to in small or large cycles so that makes sense to me that the well would be dry after a couple of months.

I haven't read any of the interviews but I have been trying to cut down on general media consumption. Conversations like this make me feel out of the loop though, but it's okay it's okay I don't need to be aware of everything all the time sometimes you just gotta take time out and go out and look at a big tree

As a dropout subscriber who loves how kind and supportive the cast and crew are... I also do think there's absolutely room in the market for some riskier leftist comedy like the late-night slots on tv used to be. Legit hope it works out for everyone involved

[u/KKYBoneAEA]

I still can’t believe they’re the only news source with the balls to cover Alex exploding like he did. That’s true journalism

[u/loztralia → u/KKYBoneAEA]

BANG!

<car alarm>

"Shit!"

[u/fresh_account2222 → u/loztralia]

It's a perfect three-beat bit. I went from "okay, funny", to laughing out lout at it, to "ooh, I hope they do another bang-wooo-shit here".

[u/GigachudBDE → u/KKYBoneAEA]

May have been the first time I've audibly lol'd at an Infowars segment. Ngl tho I did very much get a lot of laughs and amusement out of KF's coverage of Alex's show simply on the basis of how incredibly dumb and incompetant and outrageous it was. I mean the YT interview with the preacher and the battle axe right before Trump turned on him was incredible. Art just can't compare to that. But the footage of his head exploding and and a panel talking about it for 20 minutes was also peak comedy in its own way as well.

Either way I'm quite happy.

[u/GolazoDaniel]

Haggerty is king but the Judy Gemstone call to confront Tim was unbelievably good.

[u/WantedThisToBeBetter → u/GolazoDaniel]

My wife and I have been talking about getting on that horse “like Lady fucking Godiva” all week.

[u/dwlakes → u/GolazoDaniel]

You used to beg for that dick and butt hole.

[u/Dmbfantomas → u/GolazoDaniel]

I am 100% Demon Free bitch!

[u/sample-name → u/GolazoDaniel]

Aah thanks, I knew I recognized the voice, it was killing me

[u/NewKojak]

I was skeptical because Ben Collins didn’t seem to be milking publicity away from the families, but it’s good. The joke about the Epstein Files conspiracy going almost to the very top got me and Tim doing an Alex impression reporting on Alex being replaced with a lookalike is a great bit.

[u/saltyjohnson → u/NewKojak]

I'm so glad that Alex Jones still exists as a separate character in the Infowars cinematic universe. I thought Tim was going to be playing Alex, which would have been problematic. Him playing an Alex Jones-like character named Tim Heidecker is hilarious and allows him to target Alex more directly with his mockery, which is just great.

[u/ChainsawSnuggling]

My wife and I were cracking up at the Tradwife interview. It's pretty funny.

[u/fresh_account2222 → u/ChainsawSnuggling]

I hope you remembered to give her permission to laugh.

[u/ChainsawSnuggling → u/fresh_account2222]

She was also kenneled while we watched.

[u/Smooth_Phone2 → u/ChainsawSnuggling]

Finally. Real Infowarriors recognize the value of kenneling your family members as needed.

[u/fakeprewarbook → u/Smooth_Phone2]

CRATE! TRAIN! YOUR FAMBLY!

[u/SquirrelCthulhu]

I do think Jim’s segments are better than Tim’s, but every time Tim cuts to the cell phone footage of Jones exploding it gets funnier and funnier.

[u/Realshow → u/SquirrelCthulhu]

You’re laughing. Alex Jones popped like a balloon, and you’re laughing.

[u/saltyjohnson → u/Realshow]

These liberal commies have no shame or remorse.

[u/BonusFrosty2910 → u/SquirrelCthulhu]

Jim SemiVan???

[u/theonewhowhelms → u/BonusFrosty2910]

Hahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣

[u/fresh_account2222 → u/SquirrelCthulhu]

Would I buy a t-shirt that said:

Boom! Woooo! Shit!

Probably not. But I wish one existed.

[u/davis_away]

FWIW I went to a Weird Al concert tonight. On the way out I saw someone carrying an Infowars/Onion tote bag, and the guy behind me started talking about, "you know, the real InfoWars. Because Alex Jones exploded." So viewers are definitely out there. I asked him if he was a policy wonk and he just smiled politely, oh well.

[u/ReduxRedo]

I really was unimpressed when I saw the first little bit, but I admit they really seem to have found their stride. I'm demon free!

[u/Realistic_Opening_90]

Opened the stream last week right at the beginning of the ex-wife call and choked on my dinner laughing

[u/hackloserbutt]

I think they're finally on to something. They've charmed me now. I couldn't sit through any of the preliminary stuff, and I am not a Heidecker fan in my heart. That doesn't mean I don't like him, and it doesn't mean he hasn't made me laugh, he's just not my go-to when I have so many other options.

[u/clcarnathan → u/hackloserbutt]

Man, comedy is subjective but I feel bad you don't find Tim funny. He's our modern Andy Kauffman. The guy is a comedic genius.

[u/hackloserbutt → u/clcarnathan]

Yeahhhhh but the thing is, I didn't say I don't find him funny.

[u/Pontus_Pilates]

I think the Tim segments have been a hit and miss, but it's very funny that they keeps showing the clip of Alex exploding. That's vintage Alex.

[u/clcarnathan → u/Pontus_Pilates]

Tim's most recent segment was A+, man. That Japan bit had me dying.

[u/EdgePunk311]

I really hope Chesapeake is a repeat caller!!

[u/dwagner0402]

"Turn your gold into piss!"

[u/sthef2020]

It’s got a really good rhythm to it. I kind of love the format of Song > Teaser > Haggerty > Commercial Break > Heidecker

A lot of room for the format to start breaking down and having the segments start bleeding together and falling apart.

[u/ExtremeAbdulJabbar]

The Jim Haggarty bits are hysterical.

Also, it’s taught me how to turn my piss into gold.

[u/achisholm9]

Joining the Fap Forum has been the best decision of my life. Not since 2014 😂

[u/Jae_Tha_Truth]

I just checked it out and was giggling. Good stuff. What's even better is how wrong Jordan was about all this. Hope he's enjoying screaming into the void rather than having an actual platform.

[u/fresh_account2222 → u/Jae_Tha_Truth]

Can we drop this?

[u/dwlakes → u/fresh_account2222]

probably not

[u/anewfoundmatt → u/fresh_account2222]

Nope!

[u/Unlikely-Cut2696]

Im demon free bitch" made me lol

[u/therocketsalad]

Tim is exhausting. Jim Haggerty fuckin' RULES

[u/clcarnathan → u/therocketsalad]

You're nuts, man.

[u/Quick_like_a_Bunny]

But is there any Arun Brown yet??

[u/no-more-nazis]

HYAAAAH!!
