content: What happened between Sam and Charls I wouldn’t be surprised if this has been asked before but I searched voat and couldn’t find anything. So, what happened? I’ve heard shit like: Sam got too political for Charls or Charls was blaming Sam for losing MDE. I’m obviously curious about that and the direction you guys see both going in. Personally, I don’t see either individual prospering. Sam’s comedy becomes almost too ironic and unserious that it’s almost like he’s just bullshiting half the time. Sometimes I get the feeling he hates what he does and has contempt for most of his audience and obviously the world. Charls doesn’t really do much for me either. His shit is so scrambled and while he has some nuggets of golden truth, you have to filter out the 95%+ of schizophrenic nonsense to find it. I can imagine people saying “you’re just smart enough to get it” if these guys were coherent. But especially with Charls, there’s no order to what he says and often no point either. It’s like some open ended terry davis shit that just spirals deeper and deeper into insanity. I think it would benefit Charls to have some real direction and points to his discussions and ideology. At the moment, it’s not much better than open ended new age bullshit that is never able to grasp reality or what’s really going on. Hopefully I don’t catch too much flak for this post but I mainly write it because I’m disappointed, like many, how MDE ended and nothing else has happened since. They were definitely way ahead of most people and really had a great thing going. I’m surprised they didn’t crowdfund something together so they could keep producing their work. It makes me think less of them in many ways because while I wouldn’t call them lazy, it seems their scatterbrain, high-level artistic ability lacked the groundwork to create productions themselves. In other words, they had the ideas but without someone else doing the legwork, like the staff at Adult Swim, they couldn’t summon the initiative to follow through with their ideas. It’s like the guy who is a genius but can’t make use of his intellect because he can’t do the litany of simple tasks it takes to create his genius idea. So not really trying to knock either of them but this is how I see it. Their work on MDE was really good and honestly it was poignant. There was more to it than just cheap laughs. It was different and even had a spiritual element to it, which is obviously why it had to be destroyed. So finally, I write this in hopes that if these individuals choose to stay away from each other that they can do more than just camgirl-esque steaming begging for shekels and low-effort/budget jackass type videos. I know they’re not getting any younger but the direction that both individuals are on is really a detriment to their potential. They need somebody who can do more leg work because they’re obviously the “ideas guys”. Idk, shit looks hopeless to me and I’m looking for other opinions. Thanks for reading.
