The Very Online Show 01: The old beach meme and the M. Night Shyamalan paradox

The Windows look is fucking fantastic. Love it!

The first episode is an advertisement?

Only seconds in but the high pass filter cut of ThisSynthetic Life is brilliant

this is so sick

Real fun layout... Also love the run time - very down for some shorter shows.

I love this!

"bakal.rar" haaaa

Awesome show!

Seconded! I'm loving the higher production values on the new stuff.

Bakal.rar got me 😆

The production on this is very cool.

TheCulture.URL kills me

This is tongue-in-cheek on the edge of sincere and I am into this vibe.

I will first joke and say explaining jokes and memes? A very cool thing.

But honestly, I know that I've come across memes where I didn't know the source and I'm almost 40. This seems right down my alley.

I'm looking forward to Tamoor and Lucy having to explain a Hololive meme one of these days to Hockeyman.

ADD: I do feel like this might have to get lightning round-y and maybe not just 'let's teach grandpa' for the pitch, but don't get me wrong; I like this so far!

BAKAL.RAR

I am already 100% invested in this.

Can we have this also encoded in .rm4? Just for nostalgia's sake.

Does this have Old spoilers? Besides, you know, the fact that they go to a beach and get old. Haven't seen it yet

fun show! i feel myself becoming more and more disconnected from stuff online, so this will help me not get lost hopefully.

disappointed my version of the meme didn't make it onto the video game website, tho.

So a GB version of Reply All's "Yes, Yes, No"? I'm down.

@sandman42: This is exactly what I was thinking. 3 great people for this format imo!

Nothing beyond that, from what I gathered.

Alright, I'm at the end.

Honestly, the best parts of this are when they're not openly discussing the meme. If they can have a topic as strong as the folly of M. Night Shyamalan that comes from the original subject, then this is gold. I like this a lot.

A) This should be fun. I look forward to these getting way weirder as it goes and Jeff loosing his mind.

B) Having just listened to the Blank Check ep about this movie where they mostly liked it, I'm kind of fascinated why certain things get strung up for ridicule like this has. It's like a popular kid giving you a mean nickname the first day of school and then you're screwed forever.

This synthetic life, the wifi is keepin' me aliveeeeeeee.

I love this, more episodes please. Tam Lucy and Jeffy B are an amazing team..

The "slides" had me rolling

Really enjoyed this! I will look forward to these in the future :)

Yeah this is not for me either, love the production but the content is far from what I come here for. Glad to see lots of positive comments though!

So its ReplyAll Yes Yes No. I'm good with this.

Hey, this is actually pretty good! A human look at the nonsense the Internet barfs out.

This was so fun, I love this new show. Thanks for putting it together Bak, Tam, and Lucy - very excited for the next one

Can't wait for episode #2

Yo, Unbreakable owns.

Oh, this excites all of my media studies desires. Amazing first impression! Can't wait to see more!!! :)

This is very good

I enjoyed it. Had fun with the memes at the beginning then enjoyed the deeper discussion towards the end.

Sixth Sense and Village are the only M Night movies that have twists. I'll give half a point to Split.

This is the invaluable social currency that Business Dave used to educate us on for UPF.

Oh man, if you like the M. Night section, check out Blank Check's podcast series on his films. Endlessly fascinating.

Interesting show. Liked the first ep more than I thought I would.

As a person who usually doesn't understand what the fuck goes on the internet, this show really speaks to me. Can't wait for the next episode.

This was really cool! And fantastically edited/produced!

Can't wait for more because I'm very much on board for this. :D

This was so good!

When this show was announced, I was one of the people who expressed disappointment, or at least I thought it likely wasn't going to be something that I could enjoy or get into. Well, I'm glad I made the time to watch the first ep because I actually really liked it, not just because of the great editing touches but also for the discussions. I feel like this show has to potential to teach me a lot about the internet and a whole bunch of other interesting things. So two thumbs up! Looking forward to the next one.

Great work everyone. Really enjoyed it.

I’ve been critical of the new content lately, but this show is pretty good. The premise sounded silly to me (and the Jackbox stream didn’t help) but in actuality this is pretty alright.

This was really great. I'm the perfect audience: I knew about Old, but I'm not tapped into Twitter culture so I'm JUST ONLINE ENOUGH.

The production (the clip from the "documentary," the tweet images, the fast-pace) are all just top-notch.

Tamoor requested recommendations for future shows, but that's the Always Online Paradox: those of us who are primed to be amused and educated by this show are the same people who lack the internet awareness to suggest topics for it.

It might be fun for each person to bring their own mini-topic each week, so they get a chance to take the center stage for a bit.

This is really good. Excellent journey from a tweet to the ending.

Synthetic life is an absolute banger

Can't wait to see Lucy and Tamoor take Bakalar as deep into the internet as they can go and show him the horrors that live there.

In all seriousness, this was great! I'm looking forward to the next one.

Another really cool new show. Loving pretty much all the new stuff so far, especially this and Borne to Run.

This was great! Good job to all involved!

3 mins in and loving this
