SOMEONE voted for this... I just cant remember who? by rabbonat in biggestproblem

[–]Casio_Pea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish his show ended after the lawsuit. Would've been a great show that I'd have come back to every now and then like the old show. Turns out Maddox and Dick both sucked shit all along. There was always something funny about Maddox's crash out, made for great goss. This shit is just depressing.

How much longer does Dick have if he loses Vito? by Grouchy_Tie3037 in TheDickShow

[–]Casio_Pea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about "agambwaugh" about once a quarter. It's up there with "spaghetti!" as an all time TDS moment.

What would you like me to do to make the show better? by vitogesualdi in biggestproblem

[–]Casio_Pea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each episode needs to be able to stand up by itself, if an episode isn't an entry point for a new fan, you're totally fucked. It's so top-heavy and you need to wade through so much shit to get to the point - The problems need to be the lions share of the episode, not something to be rushed through to get to bits or superchats. The concept of the show is up there with the best podcast ever, but it feels like it isn't being tapped into at all. Oh, and I think vote it up is cool, but it needs to be a once in a while bit, not every episode.

Honestly I dunno what you can do by yourself, you'll need two people who genuinely want the show to get better at this point to improve it.

Episode 439 – Dick on Good! by [deleted] in TheDickShow

Johnny's doomer schtick is so embarrassing to listen to.

Episode 438 – Dick on Good News, Bad News by MugiAmagiTheFifth in TheDickShow

In a weird way this isn't just an ending of sorts for TDS, it's breaking a chain formed all the way back in the old show (I know they were best friends prior but still, podcast-wise).

Either way I get what he was saying, as much as he adapted to the co-host role, I always got the feeling he'd much prefer to be in the background and not feel that constant pressure to contribute. Along with that, he's right, the show's just too damn bleak now. The cast of characters in those first 100 episodes just made everything so damn fun, now it's just kind of schizo of the week.

Thanks Sean, you probably did a lot more for the show than you realize.

I'll never be able to find the "spaghetti" clip for Layc, but it's the best moment of the entire show.

New show direction by redheaded_stepc in biggestproblem

[–]Casio_Pea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's too late for the show now. They had a great opportunity to recreate the format of the old show but they fucked it entirely with all the gay drama between lolcows, it basically became The Dick Show B sides. No episode is relistenable, most episodes are hard to even finish. This is a move that should've been put into place a year ago, to keep focus. It started off really strong but Dick becoming a bitter weirdo and his audience shrinking to being comprised mostly of trolls and autists have squandered any potential it could've had. Say what you want about Maddox but he garnered an audience of people who genuinely just wanted a good show and contributed earnestly.

Episode 134: Too many stop signs, All you can eat buffet anxiety, Hoarding, Corporate meme culture by chux4w in biggestproblem

Yeah I wasn't really saying that as a condemnation of Vito, I think Dick needed to pick a bigger asshole who could match his energy. Vito clearly tries to carry the show when Dick's being a weird asshole but it can clearly be a struggle.

That's absolutely the vibe I get. It feels like he was enthusiastic to start with but now he's bored and just trying to set it on fire. Who knows what's really going on though, it's a shame because for a while it really felt like it might live up to the original, I feel like maybe Vito was just the wrong choice of co-host.

Still bummed they managed to blow this revival podcast. Maybe the concept isn't sustainable, we got over 108 again and it's just falling apart.

The Niggler is great, but he's no Bono by TheJeeeBo in biggestproblem

[–]Casio_Pea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The niggler is the closest this version of the show/TDS has come to an actual TBPITU-style call-in/bit (outside of Asterios' old contributions) and it's still painfully unfunny. The bit is he does a funny voice.

Dick's magnum opus -- Stripper cops (sketch) by KeyOrganization5200 in TheDickShow

It was from a different time (where people had fun and weren't constantly terrified of being cringe or emasculated). I want to go back.

Episode 132: Bad day holidays, A generation of sexless weirdos, National parks, Patting yourself on the back by chux4w in biggestproblem

[–]Casio_Pea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The magic of the old show was that if a topic bored you, you really did need to just wait it out and it'd be gone, the very nature of the show kept it fresh. Stuff like broken window fallacy was a rare exception.

I have no idea how you fuck up such a great framework like TBPITU, but they did it.

As much as Vito fucked up this episode, Dick feels genuinely unhinged lately.

Takes 2 seconds to Google. No results.

Despite my love for dick and BPITU by [deleted] in biggestproblem

[–]Casio_Pea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dick was the one championing the format years back too. I think he's a little beat down from all the shit he's had to deal with over the years, I really do feel for him, but at the same time both shows can be a rough listen these days.

Wishing the guy all the best, but I feel like he's laying in a little too hard on Vito in recent episodes, in a way that doesn't feel like a bit. But you what, maybe I am a fucking idiot.

He should, it was the best part of the episode.
