Never forget that time Brennan was on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” and he had to restrain himself from going off on the host cause the host was talking smack about how much Brennan loves his mom and thinks women should be treated with respect.
Brennan is just on another level when he's given the right environment to just go full tilt. Some of his DnD moments are legendary, like quite literally the thing that others quote.
From what i remember the tide pod challenge wasn't a really thing for the most part, until the media picked it up and said "Did you know kids are eating tide pods for internet clout?" Which made kids go "oh i can eat tide pods for internet clout?". Before that it was just a general meme and not something anyone was really doing
It literally started with a couple of joke skits that a couple streamers did, not unlike Brennan's content as they were obviously just trying to be funny. Some fuck-holes at a news company decided it would be great fuel for generational warfare and they ran news articles stating that it was a new trend (treating it as a VERY serious thing instead of just comedy). That caused a few isolated cases of kids being poisoned because it brought attention to these jokes, but without the context of them being jokes. It wasn't a wide spread issue, ever, though the news did fuck up some kids because of their poor reporting.
Fun Fact: Brennan once did an improv rendition of the “Spiraling CEO” on an episode of Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey, that was just as unhinged and chaotic as the original videos.
@@pixelbrady If memory serves it's the first episode of Starstruck Odyssey where as part of Emily's character's backstory (robot maid Sundry Sidney) the CEO of a major robotics firm asks why the 'personal assistant' android has among other attachments and abilities, a minigun for an arm?
It was pretty much the entire chat spamming her to watch it. It all started because we were talking about Vox Machina which led to Critical Role and then Alicia mentioned she loved Brennan as a DM in Dimension 20 and then the chat told her to watch his skits from College Humor.
The funny thing about the Tumblr one is that the current CEO literally made a long tumblr post that’s almost exactly like one of Brennan’s CEO videos where he asked people to “please stop asking for pron”. In it he goes over all the reasons why they can’t go back to the 2007 rules which were literally “go nut show nuts” However there’s one quote from him in particular that sounds so much like Brennan in the CEO videos that I can just hear Brennan saying it, which is his response to why Twitter and Reddit can have so much pron but Tumblr can’t? “Ask Apple, because I don’t know.”
Brennan Lee Mulligan is SO funny lol. I especially love all the clips of him on Make Some Noise, which is essentially a comedy improv show where they have to act out funny prompts they're given
I love the moment when Alicia gets done saying how she likes Blue Raspberry for Brennan to just go "No, you don't" The disappointed little "oh" at the end is so funny
Since Alicia went to film school, we should get her to watch "Honest Trailers" and "Pitch Meeting". And, personally, I'd like to see her watch "The Venture Brothers".
You know, sometimes a meme is so overused it stops being funny. However if it’s overused even more it fucking integer-overflows and becomes hilarious again and now I can’t stop laughing
The buttplug jokes already ran through the ground over there, but it was funny to bring as much chaos as we did together during the stream. The funny part it's that it started with Alicia joking about melting the RUclips golden plate into a buttplug expecting us to be disgusted/disapproving and instead we all hyped and incentivised her. Chat is the best
@@eddy9615 the recording streams don't stay up since they have copyrighted content, so your only way of seeing it is by joining her patreon and finding it there
The funny thing is, the butt plug chatting only came back cuz SHE brought it up! I couldn't stop laughing because I knew that would happen the moment she mentioned it!
Between heading Dimension 20, writing Um Actually, and starring in the best episodes of Game Changer, Brennan was basically carrying Dropout on his shoulders for the past 5 years
@@hoodiesticksI mean Brennan is the absolute backbone but the rest of the cast is amazing too. The reason Dropout is doing so well rn is the chemistry and improv skills of everyone involved. And the fact that they're all really close friends ofc
@sniperboom1202 "If I could have a mouth in my back so a friend could shovel in, idk, salami while I talk that'd be great! Anyways the answer is Almonds."
Fun Fact about the Tide CEO sketch, that was Brennan's first sketch with CH. Yeah, that was hist first appearance on CH according to them, and he killed it dude. These are fun, honestly my favorites from the series are the ones where the CEO seems to be the most sane person there, but is dealing with a madhouse company.
This was great. The CEO sketches are my favorite thing on the College Humor channel. I was slightly disappointed that the Oreo one didn't make it in the first batch, but it does mean there are some great ones for a second run!
Holy shit this is a reaction i never knew I needed. Brennan is one of the funniest people that I know of. Any CollegeHumor/Dropout content that has him in it is a banger.
Now cowgirls. Cow. Girls. With a space in between. Theres a very big difference between the two, but sometimes they overlap. And theyre also in the same environment.
For anyone who’s curious: blue raspberry is just raspberry flavor. So, a long time ago a popsicle company was trying to find a shade of red for their new raspberry flavor which could be distinguishable from the other red colored popsicles they already had (strawberry, watermelon, cherry, etc.) but they couldn’t find one so they decided to just color it blue and thus blue raspberry was born. Also, tumblr banned nsfw content, not because they couldn’t run ads on the site, but because many financial institutions refuse to do business with websites that host nsfw content. It’s the same reason OF tried to ban nsfw content at one point. And since tumblr didn’t really police its user generated content or have any semblance of a moderation team, they were one WallStreet Journal exposé away from losing their ability to use banks. It ended up tanking the website so, ironically, they have no use for banks now
I saw someone in chat suggest that Tumblr should have an 18+ website (or just a separate section for NSFW content). And as someone who's pretty tired of seeing porn when I scroll through websites (despite having filters on), I thought that'd be a good idea.
there's a RUclipsr, i think his channel name is something like PirateGaming or something like that, i think he streams too; he calls his chat goblins, cuz they act like goblins he used to be a dev for Blizzard, his dad was too

Oh, I so LOVE a good Brennan explosion, and the CEO series of sketches is LOADED with them! Adding Alicia's reaction to that already delicious recipe is like having your favourite meal prepared by a gourmet chef, nomnomnom! 😊
9:19 The Core Values meme was from Joey Cuellar's whole "the DoA ad that aired on our stream doesn't represent the "core values" of EVO or the FGC" tweet trying to explain why they cut the ad short. The two models aren't adult film actresses Yuka Kuramochi and Saki Yoshida are both gravure idols and TV personalities.
While gravure idols aren't actually AV actresses they are kind of on the line (at least from the mainstream Western perspective which is much more ok with violence than it is with sexuality).
the Venmo bit aged funny. payments via a social media platform? you mean my rent increase can be ratioed? Elecrical companies getting canceled? sounds hilarious
On rewatch, a old memory popped up at the crest food paste thing. Crest did try to branch out into food, but their brand was so tied to toothpaste that it never got off the ground.
Brennan is the funniest man I've ever had the pleasure of watching, his sense of humor just perfectly aligns with mine and everything he does gets a belly laugh out of me
Alicia having the same disappointed energy as Brennan at the end was indeed the only way this video could finish. Here's hoping we get another as this is still one of my favorite series and I'll take any excuse to watch it again.
I've seen a few of your videos but it was the EVO Japan history lesson that got me to subscribe. You're clearly a person of culture and status if you remember that.
Every time, it just feels like the Brother Bear meme. Just like, "Man, I can't believe it's almost been 10 years since Tumblr died..." Still very active Tumblr users: "Stop telling people I'm dead!"
Did you know in the 20s i believe it was kids and teens had a challenge of shoving as many people as possible into a phone box, quite a few people ended up dying from it
Back in my day, the kids raised on handheld tech were waaay smarter than well adjusted kids who had attentive parents. They even got mocked for being geeks, that’s the whole stereotype lol. Of course then comes the lifetime of working through trauma but swings and roundabouts
Because tech companies hadn’t yet caught onto the fact that kids are amazing to market to and are amazing for engagement. And that all engagement -can- *MUST* be turned into profit. The were still grey areas between “illegal” and “mind warping-ly attention grabbing”. And the rest wasn’t yet entirely monetised. So info was relatively honest, and pretty openly distributed. All in all, the reasons why people look on fondly at the internet of the past.
Handheld tech - heck, computing tech in general - was also more difficult to use than modern equivalents. Required some focus, understanding, and RTFM. Mere basic operation was better mental exercise than "modern" tech's polished UIs.
@HaloInverse There was so much customization before corporations decided that minimalism looked good. Kids were learning how to modify and create websites just to mess around.
It kind of annoys my how overblown the tide pode thing got because you can count on 1 hand how many kids actually ate them for the "challenge" (they got sick and went to the hospital no deaths iirc) but it was blown so out of proportion by the media as a whole "the future generations are doomed all of them are eating laundry soap"
Yep. It's one of those things where a zoomer makes a joke, the boomers fail to decode that it's a joke, and spread it all over the internet as though it's a real thing real people are constantly doing.
Tumblr burning away the corn only to realize that was effectively structural to their entire operation isn't the worst example. I read that apparently one anime distributor apparently bought out a schmentay focused site and delisted all the schmentay.
Came back to rewatch this video and just saw your comment. Which site was the second one, the schmentay? I don't remember hearing about anything like that, but I've also got a borderline goldfish memory for anything real life related.
27:09 oh man, as someone who was way too into Sonic in the early days of the internet I can tell you for certain there was _many_ Sonic Highschool fan-fictions, some on tumblr, some on wattpad, and even some here on RUclips along with Sonic Chat Rooms
Fursuits are not the majority of the furry community. They are just the most widely known and recognized. The majority are either artists or just enjoyers of the art. And it has some of the best artists in the world.
26:27 Alicia: Wait Til They see cowgirls, Girls Who wear cowboy hats. Nope Me: *Smugs* Nope Alicia: Cowgirls are Girls with big cow booba Me: *smugs more* YUP, (Next she's gonna say cow bikini) Alicia: With multiple massive utters that slope to the ground, Multiple. Me: Nope Nope, NVM Not the same thing we talking about
Responding to the first 40 seconds, theres a reason most of the rest of the world wasnt as aware with this trend, and its the same reason kinder eggs are mainly only banned in the US - most non-american children are smart (or street-smart) enough to know not to eat the thing that came out of a cleaning box.
I like how Alicia predicts all the jokes, but when it comes to the vape baby mobile it takes her like 10 full seconds to realize how horrible it is lol. 😂
I mean you're not wrong that it's still around. "Strong" is the objectively wrong part though. By comparison to pre-purge numbers, it's current engagement is far far less. You are right though, far more wholesome.
@@ApinofArc Numbers are down, but average user retention is probably way higher tbh. Like, the people on there now seem more invested in Tumblr as a social interaction website than as a political argument forum and diet r34 catalog.
Blaming Tide for aesthetics and not teens being dumb is one of the most wild takes Edit: That’s dumb as saying bottled chemicals look and comes out like syrup, that toilet scent fresheners look like candy, or that all powders are fun dip and sugar
To be fair, that video was made before the actual Tide Pod Challenge happened, when the issue was children and disabled people mistook them for actual candies and ate them. The Challenge came later when the internet took videos like this 'Dont eat Tide Pods' video, turned it into a meme/joke like 'hehe don't ead the tide pods guys, they look delish but don't do it' or 'eat the forbidden fruit, I dare you', at which point the media reported that people dared others to eat tide pods for clout, and the rest is teen history.
I find it hilarious whenever people say that tumblr "died." I was there before and after the ban, and let me tell you, now that most of the annoying people are gone, the site's never been better.
I was going to say something about "if you like these, you should check out D20," but I guess you already watch it. Truly a woman of culture. Out of curiosity, what is your favorite season? I like pretty much all of them, but Fey and Flowers, Starstruck Odyssey, and Mice and Murder are probably my favorite. It's SO hard to choose though
I love Brennan's work too. Your reactions were super fun. Like watching the videos again with a friend. I really hope you react to more of his content :)
The Tidepods challenge wasn't actually a real thing, as far as I remember. It was more accurately a meme that the boomer media amplified into reality. I've only heard of one person actually doing it, and even then nothing actually concrete about how or why.

I love all Brennan's videos. My favorite is "Defender of the Basic".
You NEED to do the Oreo CEO. It is the best of Brennan's CEO series.
Agreed!!!
I personally prefer the old grampa hardware store one.

The fact that the tide pod thing was only like 6-7 years ago and people in her chat were surprised makes me feel so, so old.
Was it really that long ago? 💀

Brennan Cannot Win, simply the best.
Brennan on Game Changer having a rant is the best.
There was one period where for several months my inner monologue was narrated by Brennan. Literally living rent free in my head.
Had plenty of his "I. CANNOT. WIN!" reactions myself when I did bad in a video game and got angy
"Jules are like the vapes for children, right?" had me ROLLING
I love the moment when Alicia gets done saying how she likes Blue Raspberry for Brennan to just go "No, you don't"
The disappointed little "oh" at the end is so funny

You really should do the rest. They're hilarious. Brennan is a masterpiece
Brennan is insanely talented. At like anything he does.
26:27 Alicia: Wait Til They see cowgirls, Girls Who wear cowboy hats. Nope
Me: *Smugs* Nope
Alicia: Cowgirls are Girls with big cow booba
Me: *smugs more* YUP, (Next she's gonna say cow bikini)
Alicia: With multiple massive utters that slope to the ground, Multiple.
Me: Nope Nope, NVM Not the same thing we talking about
Responding to the first 40 seconds, theres a reason most of the rest of the world wasnt as aware with this trend, and its the same reason kinder eggs are mainly only banned in the US - most non-american children are smart (or street-smart) enough to know not to eat the thing that came out of a cleaning box.
Oh my god, two of my favorite people in the world in one video??!! 🤩
I literally stopped everything I was doing to watch this immediatly! 😁
I generally like College Humor and Brendan is my favorite celebrity dungeon master. He seems chill.
YES! HOORAY, their stuff is awesome, I'm so glad you did a reaction for it!
Brennan Lee Mulligan is a comedic genius. I recommend you watch a compilation of his best rants.
And now I got to the part where you've seen his Dimension20 DMing.
Yeah, you know all about Brennan 😂
i wish she had reacted to more of these
I like how Alicia predicts all the jokes, but when it comes to the vape baby mobile it takes her like 10 full seconds to realize how horrible it is lol. 😂
Every generation had Tide Pod challenges
There's a reason why there's a kid drowning symbol on 5 gallon buckets
God I love him. Always damn hilarious
Brennan Lee Mulligan is phenomenal in just about everything he does. My favorite CEO videos are gofundme and Oreos. XD
I'm actually getting a 'contact low' from how stressed out he is acting
6:29 I love the chat at this point of the video. 😂
Tumblers still going strong. Most wholesome social media ive seen other then Pintrest. Alot of it is now Comic Artists.
I mean you're not wrong that it's still around.
"Strong" is the objectively wrong part though. By comparison to pre-purge numbers, it's current engagement is far far less.
You are right though, far more wholesome.
The people left are dedicated to the niche ... but strong ? Nah ...
It’s cause most the crazies went to Twitter and Reddit
@@ApinofArc
Numbers are down, but average user retention is probably way higher tbh. Like, the people on there now seem more invested in Tumblr as a social interaction website than as a political argument forum and diet r34 catalog.
The first alcoholic beverage i drank was a Blue Razz from Pineapple Willy's, so obviously there is an Adult market for Blue Raspberry flavored stuff.
Blaming Tide for aesthetics and not teens being dumb is one of the most wild takes
Edit: That’s dumb as saying bottled chemicals look and comes out like syrup, that toilet scent fresheners look like candy, or that all powders are fun dip and sugar
To be fair, that video was made before the actual Tide Pod Challenge happened, when the issue was children and disabled people mistook them for actual candies and ate them. The Challenge came later when the internet took videos like this 'Dont eat Tide Pods' video, turned it into a meme/joke like 'hehe don't ead the tide pods guys, they look delish but don't do it' or 'eat the forbidden fruit, I dare you', at which point the media reported that people dared others to eat tide pods for clout, and the rest is teen history.
For anyone wondering, some octopus have male reproductive organs as a part of their tentacles, so thats what the octopus gets out of it lmao
I find it hilarious whenever people say that tumblr "died." I was there before and after the ban, and let me tell you, now that most of the annoying people are gone, the site's never been better.
I sometimes forget how wild twich chats can get, legit they gave off major "lets make the streamer drink to forget" menace energy
Brennan lee mulligan is a fucking gift to the internet
I laughed so hard, and so much. Please, do another one of these soon!
OMG BRENNAN LEE MULLIGAN, BEST DUNGEON MASTER OF OUR TIME. THE GOAT.
The Juul one was my absolute favorite. I was so cracked by the “war crimes” line first time that I had to stop watching it. 😄
I fucking love Brennan and seeing this just makes me extremely happy
"well the dragons are scalies" and it gets said immediately after. incredibly funny that the hive mind is activating in these moments
I was going to say something about "if you like these, you should check out D20," but I guess you already watch it. Truly a woman of culture. Out of curiosity, what is your favorite season? I like pretty much all of them, but Fey and Flowers, Starstruck Odyssey, and Mice and Murder are probably my favorite. It's SO hard to choose though
I love Brennan's work too. Your reactions were super fun. Like watching the videos again with a friend. I really hope you react to more of his content :)
The Tidepods challenge wasn't actually a real thing, as far as I remember. It was more accurately a meme that the boomer media amplified into reality. I've only heard of one person actually doing it, and even then nothing actually concrete about how or why.
9:47 Ti quote my favorite meme: "Be the American the Japanese think you are."
