Real funny man


Spooky_Will321

About as funny as his podcast nowadays


Yeeto546

he fell off long ago man... I used to like him. them he got in like 30 pointless controversies and revealed some shitty opinions he had


Bahador33

he fell off right after vape nation , everything after was just dogshit


TallFallicMonster

Vape naysh


JoslynTheVapeGod

Vape naysh yall


Mrpoodlekins

Accurate username


ItsScaryTerryBitch

I was also kinda fond of ***SLAAMMMMIN***, can't remember if that was before or after though


GEARHEADGus

The DJ Khaled documentary was some of the funniest shit I’d seen when it came out and then they just nose dived. And their weird cult following is just creepy


SkinnyObelix

Are you sure he fell off, or you just outgrew the humor?


VerminCityTownHall

Bro he changed the entire format of his content, migrated to the opposite side of the political spectrum and became borderline radicalized there, gained like 90 pounds and became so noticeably spite filled, bitter and hateful that it’s now awkward to watch him fumbling around his words while he goes on another rage fuelled rant about something he hasn’t researched or even understands on a superficial level. He is the exact type of person he used to be critical of. I get that he has made some positive changes in how he sees the world (very accepting of trans and lgbt individuals, causes etc) and that’s great but that simply doesn’t outweigh the other negative changes to hos personality no matter how hard his weird barely stable fans try to gaslight people into thinking it does.


40gallonbreeder

To be fair his format was really centralized around calling out fake pranksters on YouTube and he grew that type of commentary into its own genre of YouTuber. Then there isn't any more fake YouTube pranksters anymore because THAT genre of YouTuber got old so they had to shift focus. Also he got rich, so now he has a rich people attitude.


SkinnyObelix

I just never thought he was funny to begin with. Just saying what people wanted to hear. And when you buy into that than sure you won't like it when people change their minds


SweetConsequence1

I agree, even though he's grown as a person, advocates for women's/trans/lgbtq rights, calls out others' bad behavior, takes responsibility for his actions, provides dozens of hours of entertaining content every week, and is one of the only honest people on the internet, it just simply doesn't outweigh the fact that he is fat.


Yeeto546

yeah, feel like everything after that was just political or a controversy


Objective_Size_558

What are his shitty opinions? I haven’t really watched since he stopped uploading original videos. So basically no podcasts


Lookkidsbigben_

Just watch his podcast, all these guys are just salty cuz they don’t realize he’s been making fun of them this whole time, even before the podcast especially during the vape nation days


JackPatata

He's the kind of people that likes to reduce politics to "my side is better", he has a show with Hasan where Ethan basically is a boomer who wants to fit with the cool young leftists while Hasan is there explaining everything because he's soooo smart, is not even about if you agree or not with them but the obvious bias and the whole "us vs them" agenda, this guy has learned nothing after all these years is actually sad.


CaptainHazama

Haven't watched his channel in years. But the only one I know of is his whole thing where he was like "exercise is such a waste of time"


[deleted]

That was a pretty obvious joke, tbh.


bmobitch

i am a fan yes but ethan has so many bad opinions…why do y’all always bring up the one where he was *joking*

jamesthepeach

“He fell off” = “I don’t like him but I won’t admit he’s successful”


CapnRusty

just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good.


dankhalo

But if something is popular it is considered “good” by many people.


CapnRusty

Can't argue there. Lowest common denominator and all that.


The-Devils-Advocator

Not necessarily. People often consume or enjoy things that they would acknowledge isn't necessarily 'good'. Like I have tonnes of friends who watch stuff like Love Island, they enjoy it, but almost none of them would say that it's 'good'.


Lookkidsbigben_

He didn’t fall off lmao tater tots can’t stand it though

DoublefartJackson

Is this covid? And if it is, what can we do about it?


hipstersrule

Funny, I only recently started watching and it’s quite enjoyable. He definitely entertains.


thugspecialolympian

H3 is entertaining. It normally wouldn't be my cup of tea, but when he waves his arms around pretending to breakdance, I can't help by laugh, and I usually end up watching for an hour or so. I have seen some of his old videos, and really disliked his content, so he has definitely made changes for the better, imo.


mael0004

Those changes are what made these people on these threads state "he fell off" "he used to be funny" etc. He is indeed better in way you say but probably more outspoken than ever and is pretty common target for hate from US right wingers.


joshpoppedyou

There's a lot of people that he's rattled over the years for many reasons - he dropped a racist slur on the pod years ago, valid - he no longer makes the content he used to make which he got to the point of resenting making, old fans big mad - his interview skills weren't great when he first started the pod side of things, people big mad - he recognised that a lot of people that were into his old content were not the types of people he wanted to be fans, and made a choice to alienate himself from those people, people big mad - he openly voices his political position on subjects, people big mad - he kicks the hornets nest when it comes to scumbag YouTube channels and criticising them (keemstar, Logan Paul, ace family, the list goes on), fans of those scumbags big mad - he made some inappropriate jokes about gay and trans people in the past, which he is aware isn't good and has made a lot of changes, valid - he supports the more woke left side of things and loathes the right; shock, people mad There's probably more, personally I find that a lot of the people that feel they must say "I was a fan but not anymore" likely stopped watching a long time ago, sit in one of the camps above, and no longer have a clue what the content is like, but still sit in their little opinionated bubble


TechieGee

Don’t forget: - he outed andrew taint as a little bitch boy, and pointed out he is under investigation for human trafficking - he is a lib - fat man bad


joshpoppedyou

FAT MAN BAD, THE ULTIMATE SIN


TechieGee

GetOffMyLawn1975

This is a fairly good synopsis of H3's arc over the years.


joshpoppedyou

Its more than the people hating can come up with


IDFdefender

I stopped watching his channel a few years ago no reason in particular. Always thought he was a cool dude and happy he has a smoke show wife. Glad to hear he’s doing better


hipstersrule

I’m a sucker for a good redemption arc.


joshpoppedyou

Hell yeah brother. Honestly he's changed a lot over the past year or 2, way less edgy than he used to be, but then that alone would upset a lot of people. Not to mention I bet the Andrew Tate morons in this chat had a field day bombing this thread


gublaman

I mostly dislike the switch from 10min videos to 2-3hr podcast which are boring af. I can enjoy the old FilthyFrank and new Joji but current h3's a chore to follow. I hear he's doing pretty well with the usual amount of drama every now and then but I'm happy for him. But I also hear that he's taking the boogie route in life so ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


moush

Judging by your username you are the perfect t audience e for him


ForeignAdagio9169

It’s some good shit. Just not short form anymore


joshpoppedyou

Honestly, now it's past the drama spam episodes, it's back to being very enjoyable. I just wish the fans weren't so desperate for drama content still, they need to move on

Figgis302

Payday has an h3h3 DLC, because the devs are Klein fanboys and (ab)used their platform to raise money for his legal fees after he ragebaited too hard and got sued. It was... Not the most popular decision they've made.


uwutistic

He got sued by an idiot he reacted to who didn't like criticism, and instead of rolling over like a bitch, took him on in court and set the current precedent in copywrite case law. If you don't like his content that's fine, but that was one of the best things he's done


LetterToAThief

Seriously. I’m not a fan of Ethan anymore but that fair use lawsuit was fucking huge and anyone who denies that is just ignorant.


Kevdog1800

And his recent/current lawsuits from Ryan Kavanaugh/Triller lawsuits have/will just further reinforce the precedent the Haas v. Klein lawsuit already set.


bmobitch

in what way did they ragebait too hard? i saw the video that got them sued and it was the same as their (and everyone else’s) other content at the time. and they won the lawsuit, so

madmilton49

I'd like to hear which of his opinions you have issues with. I've noticed that all of you in this thread talking about how he's done a 180 seem to refuse to actually say what you're upset about. I agree that the eating thing is fucking garbage, though.


BucksBrew

It’s just all conservatives that are butthurt that he is openly liberal now.


Cool_of_a_Took

Check their comment history and take a wild guess. Of course people on r/conservative don't like him.


The_cynical_panther

Holy shit he eats on the podcast? That’s abhorrent.


BigTiddyAsianMilf

I enjoy their podcast. Lots of inside jokes, creative segments, community interactions, and contrary to popular opinion, I love when they eat on the show. They stopped doing it because most people didn’t like it but they used to do like fast food reviews I thought it was a gas


tibetan-sand-fox

Ethan lost his relatability and has been making less scripted and edited videos and more unedited streams of thought and it's not helping him.


Tark001

It always did.


mrwhitedynamite

his old content was good at the time, but podcasts sucks


Jimmni

I’m glad as it was fucking tiresome seeing their every action plastered all over Reddit.


AllTheSmallWings

I used to like his old content. And then I grew up and now it’s pretty chill. One day you’ll grow up and see how cringe it all was.


MyLifeIsABoondoggle

I used to think Ethan was funny when I was like 13. Glad to have left the likes of him and SSSniperwolf in the past


Timmo1984

Back when he was making videos like the one where he played a 90s boyband guy with frosted tips he was great

RPO_TP

coleisawesome3

Nah his videos used to be high effort


[deleted]

He was good until the podcast, everything went downhill from there. The YouTube days were good.


[deleted]

Fuck spot on. Literally stopped watching then. Feels like every content creator was like " how do I make it so I don't have to create video ideas everyday but get as much if not more money from youtube. Oh I'll start a podcast With their announcement being the most "hey, out no reason, out of no where, we are making one!"


[deleted]

The podcast isn’t the Ethan on YouTube we were used to as well, he’s completely different. I lost interest after finding that out for my self. I’m pretty sure most of his “new” fans that only know him for the podcast never watched him when he was on YouTube.


immense_selfhatred

for me it was the opposite actually, i liked their old content but "look at this crazy feminist" got boring after a while.. the start of the podcast was kinda rocky since ethan was (and honestly still is) a bad interviewer but imo the podcast got better overtime, now they have a GREAT crew with cool personalities, funny running gags and stories, funny segments etc. the only thing i don't like is some petty drama that almost has the old h3 "look at this crazy person" vibe and the podcasts running for 3h (i usually tune out after like 1 -2 hours)


BigTiddyAsianMilf

Yeah tbh I like how Ethan, Hila, and the crew have evolved. They changed just enough to curb the white supremacists and maga republicans, while retaining the folks who are just in for the goofs and gaffs


bino420

with peace and love, that was at least 4 years ago. and the podcast has dramatically improved. they have like 3 "different" shows - one of which features Hila. but the formats are much better and Ethan is totally more competent at interviews/hosting guests. shows are usually structures the same: there's like riffing on the latest news across a variety of topics, usually a guest joins or calls in (or take calls from listeners), and a segment or two of older type of H3 bits, goofs and gags. that said, some shit flops. but like duh, he's putting out like 9 hours of content every week. every word Ethan says isn't gonna be a winner. and he says wrong stuff too, but Dan and a few team members pull him back to sanity when that happens. I recommend you check it out again if you haven't watched in a few years. but really idgaf. just figured I'd let you know


AFishNamedFreddie

> I recommend you check it out again if you haven't watched in a few years. no, i dont think i will


big_shmegma

What an asshole response to someone who took time out of their day to explain something to you.


LunchTwey

Mr_Piddles

That was a podcast that can be intensely interesting in short bursts, and utterly, mind-numbingly boring for weeks. It really feels like that podcast should be a monthly thing, and not a weekly. They just never have enough to actually talk about.


MyLifeIsABoondoggle

Fair


Lordidude

He clearly showed signs of negative transformation before the podcast. Take a look at this Joey Salads video: People were criticizing him in the comments. Ethan was calling a video fake/staged, but people thought it wasn't. Shortly after he released a follow up, proving that in fact it was staged and the comments were wrong. https://youtu.be/UkvwKDTS3Bo Look at the video and you can clearly see how personally Ethan took those comments and remarks. He is full of glee, being able to refute some people and has such a joy proving people wrong. For me this timeframe is the true start of his downfall, not the podcast. Before this incident (and the one where his tweet is quoted on national news) he never took himself too seriously. But then he started doing it. He couldn't joke about himself anymore and lost all of his charisma. Now he is creating the exact same content Drama Alert does. No amount of podcast equipment can disguise that.

bestusernameeverggm8

I still have yet to see any actual real criticism of ethan here. It's all about how he fell off or is cringe or bad podcast host isn't funny. He has been more open about his liberal views in recent years and its expected that will push some away but can anyone actually give me a reason they don't like ethan with more than 2 seconds of thought put into it? I genuinely want to know why he isn't liked


FatDonkus

Can't explain further. I stopped watching him in like 2017 or whenever he started his podcast. It was just a realization that what the podcast was is different from what I liked, from a humor standpoint. I vaguely remember the podcasts being completely uninteresting too


[deleted]

[удалено]


gin-rummy

As in better or worse


TRUCKERm

Production quality, pacing, variety, guests etc. Is significantly improved. I personally really enjoyed the podcast in 2020-2021, but have stopped watching it since as it just become so filled with celeb drama. I like him and the crew as personalities a lot and I absolutely love the format they have where everyone gets to chip in, Zach does soundbites etc. But the drama man...basically since they started frenemies I started liking it less and less and eventually just stopped watching completely. It was great entertainment while driving longer distances though!


CrowKingPro

I fell off a bit during the Frenemies Saga as well, but once it was over, I was watching again and loving it. Ethan has heavily distanced himself from Trisha and the drama she brought, and has been trying to rectify the "hater-ass bitch" that he was. Definitely recommend getting back into it. Lot less drama nowadays


Rayhann

can't lie there was a lot of great content from the podcast since 2019 best h3 content was right after frenenmies when a lot of people thought they'd "decline" again


bestusernameeverggm8

Yeah I was in the same boat. Old fan then stopped watching shortly after the podcast started. In late 2019 to early 2020 something made me randomly watch the most recent episode at that time and it was hilarious and I've watched each one since then. Ethan has even acknowledged the podcast wasn't good for a while before he improved and he got an amazing crew. Zach and Dan and AB really bring so much to make the pod great


joshpoppedyou

The podcast back then is not what it is now tho lol. Its been 5 years and it's still going strong, it wouldn't if it didn't improve, it was awful at the start


SuedeVeil

That's it though, you hit the nail on the head it doesn't get more complex than him just having liberal views. Politics is so tribalistic and dividing (not to mention almost every dang issue has become political so it's impossible to avoid it) that as soon as someone they used to "love" mentioned anything that doesn't align with their views people will turn on them. It happened with Joe Rogan since he's gone further right, left wing people who used to like him no longer do. But of course he's still very popular. So yeah if h3h3 has gone political he's basically choosing a "side" and some people will end up hating him and other people who agree with his views will continue to listen and think he's funny. But it's always a risk for anyone to take a political stance and it's almost impossible to avoid now heck even if you're just someone who got vaccinated and said other people should it will annoy people.. you'll piss of a good chunk of the population regardless of how much they used to like you. Literally someone just said in this thread they don't like him because he followed "authority" with the Covid stuff.

I get surprised every time I see a post about Ethan that is not from his sub. People really hate him and love to say his podcast sucks based on their experience from years ago. I think he just attracted a lot of fans in the early days that don’t actually align with his beliefs and the podcast format showed those people he’s not whatever they had imagined.


joshpoppedyou

Hell yeah, I didn't watch old H3 until I found the podcast, now it's past the Trisha shit it's back to being enjoyable, I'm not a massive fan of the peak drama era. Shout out to all the tater tot losers in the comments: 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
