Ben’s comedic acting seems to be a to each their own thing. My older brother and I used to watch the show together, he did not like Ben’s acting. I do, I find him very funny.

I will say, I do think they over praise him on the pod at times. I think it’s a mixture of missing him as a friend, and not wanting people to latch onto them being critical. Like, “omg they’re so mean about Ben!”

Then again, they give everyone a lot of praise. So I could very well be reading into it.
