I saw Sam fly over Kiev once. That was after the school shooting.

Sam Hyde is probably the best comedian of the past decade. He is the internet’s court jester. We do not deserve such a man who suffers continuously for still having the gall to transgress as all comics should do. For example, by having his TV show stripped from him by Adult Swim. The ever-present smears against him such as those pumped out by the LA Times and various Vox/Vice/HuffPo usual suspects were always pure nonsense. It’s just a shame it took a laughable boxing match for a wider audience to finally notice a figure who in a functioning culture would have been treated properly.

Who are all these people? And people follow their antics! I’m bemused at my own ignorance of this huge area of media activity.

I’ve never heard of any of these people or programmes
Me neither, but thank you, immensely, for informing us all of this fact. I doubt that I would have been able to continue my day without this knowledge. Perhaps our rest this evening will be more pleasant and deeper than usual, now that we are in possession of this worthy insight.
If you’re over 35 then it is unlikely that you would have. If you are under 30 it would be impossible for you to at least have heard of ‘Samir al-Hajeed’
I’m 55, but my kids got me into Hyde. I watched some of his Youtube stuff — the Ted Talk is a classic — and I got a Gumroad sub about a year after. The guy is brilliant, hilarious, and a total mega-troll. He had everyone laughing all week long during fight week (KSI especially) with his Irish-American minstrelsy, and has now been uncanceled to a degree that iDubbbz could never have envisioned or he never would have banned him from Creator Clash.
To everyone pulling the “never heard of him” cope, y’all look so cute. No one heard of J. K. Rowling before she wrote Harry Potter, and no one heard of Henry Winkler before he starred in Happy Days. Etc.
Well I’ve done my research today and I can see you’re being rather disingenuous with your Rowling and Winkler comparison, since Hyde has been active for 10 years plus and well known to audiences who follow this particular media genre. So he wasn’t a nobody.
The reason this aspect is worth noting, for me anyway, is that I only realised from my research today that this comedy, cartoon, politics, boxing media niche is quite huge – not really a niche in fact – and it demonstrates to me how totally disconnected I am from people who engage with that niche, and news about it too. I clearly live in an echo chamber even as I try to see outside it.
But Paul, y’all look so cute showing your smugness! We love know-it-alls!
Paul Fry, you ain’t 55, you sound like a kid. Idubbbz hasn’t been relevant for years either because his fanbase was comprised of kids who grew out of his content.
You’re an embarrassing fanboy and if you really are a 55 year old father and not just some virgin teen, then wow. You’d think with age, knowledge would come with it but clearly not. Most people don’t know about YouTubers in the real world. The fact you compare them to actual celebrities is hilarious and there’s many people who don’t know every celebrity because guess what? Not all of us are mindless slaves to celebrity worship.
None of these people are relevant in the real world.

Nobody cares, Bob.
Nobody cares, Shasta.
Well, now you have.
