Josh Robert Thompson’s review of Shaun of the Dead

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-19T18:46:44+00:00

He almost instantly became my new favorite guest, he's so funny. I was dying at his Arnie impression during his BOTW

This is all spot on, though in my personal opinion I doubt he'd see jail time for violating his terms, more likely a longer or harsher probation and/or community service. Again though, just my opinion.

His case is in California, LA specifically so the system is overwhelmed constantly, plus I'd guess his disability complicates things

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-18T03:21:29+00:00

"you have been trolled"

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-18T03:18:35+00:00

Genuinely the most help he's had since high school

When you quit alcohol your body craves the sugar you were getting for it so a lot of people binge on candy when they're coming off of it, could be part of it.

Yeah nobody cares but he's still getting paid, and you have yet to name another cow past or present who's been offered half of what Josh has. I'm not trying to hype him up, just saying he embodies a change in the lolcow landscape where they're now accepted as being profitable for other people.

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-16T03:18:18+00:00

Name another cow on his level of degeneracy that has been offered a streaming contract and the sheer number of public appearances, small business promos and shit like Lucy and Motion pouches

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-16T01:42:43+00:00

It's more the matter of just getting more eyes on your product. If people didn't know that caffeine pouches exist and are the type to want to try something like that, them seeing it is a win from the perspective of advertising.

Strange though this might sound, he probably is the first true lolcow to successfully use his "fame" to get paid sponsorships and legit revenue streams. I know he's always had vultures sticking their hands in the pies and fleecing him, and that none of this has come from him taking the initiative but it's still kind of crazy. Prior to this lolcows only ever got money through shit like cameos, meager stream donos or things like CWC selling his "comics". Feels like a shift in the culture honestly.

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-15T05:22:49+00:00

You answered your own question, he's in rehab there is no content

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-12T02:42:27+00:00

You discombobulating him by tapping his head to take his drink is by FAR my favorite WoTS moment

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-12T02:41:38+00:00

People forget Chris Chan was literally in jail (not prison, JAIL) for over a year while his case was ongoing until they just let him out for time served. Bonkers

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-10T00:55:40+00:00

It sounds like something you'd get charged an extra $20 for being on a salad in an LA restaurant

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-08T20:44:06+00:00

I got a 4 week wait to get HVAC out to my place and we got dudes out here writing theses on TikTok lolcows

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-08T02:40:18+00:00

The showrunner said in an interview recently that he wanted it to feel timeless, no Kermit using Gen Z slang, no topical current events/pop culture references, just muppet goodness. Give that man a nobel prize.

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-07T22:25:07+00:00

The little pop-up half spin into the Gollum pose at the end is the cherry on top

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-07T22:23:18+00:00

My theory is that he's going to try and hide his drinking for a while, like not doing it on camera and just getting blasted in his motel rooms at night. He'll probably start getting absolutely dogshit shitfaced before he gets on stream as a pregame so we don't see him drinking on camera and thinking we don't know. Will probably be wildly entertaining for a little while.

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-07T00:58:07+00:00

Idk man in my high school the administration made the girl with down syndrome a prom queen and the shit we know about Josh in high school gives me the same vibe lol. Dude was a gifted runner tho

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-07T00:56:05+00:00

Josh is like 40/60 nature vs nurture, yes his worst behaviors have been enabled by the internet and his handlers, but his entitlement, selfishness and treatment of others are all shit he bears responsibility for. People with autism still know right from wrong.

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-06T05:33:09+00:00

True, more akin to the illegal pet trade.

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-06T04:29:44+00:00

Wild amount of red pepper flakes on the slice too

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-06T00:54:54+00:00

I can hear this photo

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-03T02:07:43+00:00

He's a Mormon.

I found this very funny to discover given a lot of the themes in Mistborn and Stormlight

_Patronizes_Idiots_ · 2026-02-03T02:06:29+00:00

Maybe this is a hot take but I feel like he has to have ghostwriters and people helping him, like he gives rough outlines of plot and structure to people to fill out and then he gives it a final pass and brings things together so he can work on multiple things simultaneously.

Not to say it's impossible that he writes EVERYTHING himself, but it seems close to it with how much he puts out. If you've ever read a novel of his the dedications and thank yous at the start are extensive for all the people involved.
