For me, it’s Tehnoobshow, the guy who made Runescape machinima videos.
I bought the book he wrote " The alphabet of Manliness " and thought it was the funniest and coolest shit ever.
It truly and honestly warped my perceptions of masculinity because that’s how stupid teenage boys are.
The Tom Green Show
We got it in Canada a few years before it came to MTV. He probably wasn’t as provocative earlier, but a lot more avant-garde.
I can still get a laugh out of the old clips, but I’ve learned to never, ever show them to anybody. It’s less about the material itself, and more how amazed I was that this sort of thing was actually on TV.
Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park
No, I just sort of think some things aged poorly. Homer strangling Bart for example.
Matt Taibbi
I’ll claim the most shameful so far and admit that when I was 17-18 or so I was a fan of the “Amazing Atheist”.
I once asked a coworker if he had an “atheist phase” but then he was like “I don’t believe in religion” and I cringe about it to this day
My only exposure to the Amazing Atheist I had were the leaked nude videos where he pours hot oil on his very small penis and shoves a banana up his butt.
I shouldn’t have watched those because leaking videos like that of anyone is horrible but I admit I did laugh at those videos and showed them to my friends.
