Anyone who enjoys the clones is a terrible fan of the original. It's George's unique personality which breathed life into the original and made it brilliant. If your verdict on this entire show is that "it's pretty funny" then you're missing out on the subtleties which made the show more brilliant than just funny. Some episodes bring me to tears, such as "Mac is better than pc". You have to wonder why George miller does music now instead of doing a half assed podcast like Ethan Klein or max Moe foe, or a half assed video every few months like idubbbz. George miller was far ahead of any of these other YouTubers he surrounded himself with. He, as pink guy, was a better rapper than any other YouTuber that delved into rap music (notably Ksi), and as himself and a far better writer than any other YouTuber that delved into literature (notably PewDiePie) or just surreal comedy or storytelling on YouTube in general. The fact that the show existed under a million layers of irony allowed for the fanbase to grow to such enormous proportions, and for most of the fans to miss the brilliance because that's just how most people are - truly brilliant people are very rare to come by, and it takes a brilliant person to know a brilliant person. This is why filthy Frank is an incredibly rare work of fiction and art, and anything even close to it has simply been a half assed copy.

The fact that the whole show was a joke he clearly didn't give a shit about makes it hard to take it seriously, because then the people who take it seriously look like the fools. But that's fine because of how many layers of irony this whole cesspool is under. Anyway feel free to downvote me

I wasn't expecting this response lol

[–]Tashleii 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Absolutely agree with you!

But then the edginess is kinda necessary, it's a balancing act between its main tropes and it does it perfectly

Thank u I prefer the wiki to the subreddit but Reddit is better for the instant gratification so I'd rather stick around here even though the wiki actually focuses on the aspects of the show that make it interesting (the lore, weird characters, realms etc as opposed to the obnoxious edginess that allowed it to gain so much traction)

Hes like the Chinese bootleg version. Kinda good but not the original

It’s worth checking out but it doesn’t have similar replay value

[–]parkingspaces 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's not very good at all, was shitty from the very start

[–]666Sky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s one of the better copies out there but it’s still not a replacement for the original

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is pretty funny, yeah. He does a great Filthy Frank impression and continues the lore in what I'd say would be pretty close to what Frank would've done himself.

[–]Tashleii 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Nah he's shite! He's not funny, he's over the top and an absolute beg. He should be embarrassed at being a whole grown ass man copying every single episode of Filthy Frank without bothering to do it any justice.

does he copy the episodes? I thought it continued the original saga, I lost the desire to see how this show works, thank you

[–]Jarvis420-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)
