The Failure of Dashcon The world's first Tumblr convention by Internet Historian | Chicago Reacts

[@mrshadow4007]

3:52 The Prime Minister of Israel always cracks me up with the *Dress for the job you want* line.

[@ariavachier-lagravech.6910]

Yea, that part was gold because instead of getting offended or clueless the other dude just take it in strides.

[@BillytheTeslaGod]

It is amazing lol

[@InternetShis]

Kelsey being a fellow jaded tumblr user makes so much sense. I remember the Madden gif maker in posts dunking on Superwholock nerds

[@ericmarley7060]

"What made you dress up as the Prime Minister of Israel for this convention?" "I say 'dress for the job you want.'"

[@knasigboll]

Top tier banter

[@chaosXP3RT]

I remember somebody getting in an online argument and using the NFL gif maker to respond. It was hilarious!

[@ericmarley7060]

That one NFL gif that said "I hate minorities and women" lmao

[@axelord4ever]

One of the best mood-whiplash tools available online at the time. Few things could compare to the punchline of a dead baby joke being delivered via the gif of a guy punting.

[@edgarallenpo8330]

*gif of a touchdown* "SHUT UP NERD" Amazing

[@joecrazy9896]

Come on, let's have Kelsey react to the Triggering of Shia

[@dontshanonau1335]

Based on her opinion on the Pool's Closed video, I think it's safe to say she'd be indignant on behalf of Shia...

Hell yeah!

thats ultimate dedication

[@fraserking4747]

Ah the Madden gif maker, the source of many stupid laughs between me and my friends. Good times.

[@zeallust8542]

Shame they closed it down so fast

[@brycealthoff8092]

Another KZbinr named Sarah Z did a deep dive on Dashcon. Apparently behind the scenes was a massive train wreck. Lots of petty personal drama between the organizers.

[@5PctJuice]

Seriously though

[@cyberwolfy37]

make sense, you would never let people who makes it their personal hobby to have drama in their life works together.

[@Nymphonomicon]

"they raised the money and the con continues" 'con : something (such as a ruse) used deceptively to gain another's confidence also : a confidence game : SWINDLE'

[@Supercatandrewman]

I'm definitely enjoying Kelsey's Internet Historian reactions so far! I've yet to see her react to The Failure of Rainfurrest, no doubt that would be entertaining to watch.

[@laurence4352]

congrats chicago reacts team for upgrading the studio! cant wait to see what new stuff your going to do!!!

[@breeze2082]

Can you imagine still being invested after paying to go and then being asked to donate to be there, after four hours of nothing? That’s insane

[@Mitagitsu]

Kelsey NEEDS to see the Triggering of Shia. The whole series.

[@sanguinemde5031]

They cant be honest. They cant exactly say, "Yeah, we ripped you all off. THANKS FOR THE CASH!!!!"

[@averagetardo8140]

Played the crowed like a good damned fiddle lol

[@johncase1353]

I was the guy that pissed into the ball pit

[@malakajayaw]

Proves again that tumblr does not need 4chan to f*** things up. They are completely capable of doing that on their own.

[@Pichu1232]

I fucking LOVED That NFL gif maker

[@franchised1]

WHY DID I NEVER KNOW ABOUT THE NFL .GIF MAKER?!? THATS SOUNDS SO STUPID!!!! ITS PERFECT!!!

[@nagual1992]

Her reacting to Tumblr 4Chan wars by Internet Historian would be hilarious. Rough, but hilarious.

[@Aniyah-CHG]

Does anyone actually know what Welcome to Night Vale is?

[@CChissel]

That’s what I’ve been wondering. No one seems to know.

[@happyjohn354]

I heard it was a shitty version of the SCP database before all he tumblerites went there and started changing the SCP's pronouns...

[@passingrando6457]

@@happyjohn354 thanks for reminding me that happened. RIP SCP Foundation.

its podcast in the style of a small town conspiracy radio station its very good

[@Bob-lr2xp]

I remember while this was going down, another convention thought the meltdown was hilarious and actually got themselves an identical ball pit the very next day.

[@noahmoran7605]

I’d be very interested in seeing Kelsey react to some Strange Aeons or Sarah Z video content, especially knowing she was at least a former tumblr user, there’s some stuff on those channels I’m certain she’d get a kick out of

[@ZanmeksArchives]

Oh shit Kelsey is aware of Homestucks, that's pretty poggers

[@EternalVirgin]

She did say she was a Tumblr user, and Homestuck has a massive fanbase on Tumblr.

[@thetwistedspartan4602]

12:39 Oh God, it's cringy and depressing, it's. Cringpressing. Like Ninja flossing to a million uninterested new yorkers in times square.

[@habitsrabbit]

I remember wanting to go because of steam powered giraffe..oh how I dodged a bullet by being poor.

[@Vhailor_Mithras]

There's a sucker born every minute. Events like these are why I look at people with a heavy amount of skepticism.

[@bellidrael7457]

I feel like, at some point, you can stop going "You may notice the space I'm in is a bit different-"

[@DavidsDead]

That was such a wild time to be alive and on the internet

[@traphimawari7760]

More maxor reactions pls 🥺

[@MajCyric]

It's called The Madden Giferator.. it was for Madden NFL 2015

[@lord_haven1114]

Tumblr is such cancer LOL. But love your reactions.

[@ShadowHuayra]

I think that player was James Michael-Johnson. Linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs

[@Yamato-bp7yd]

Kelsey is so cool 😂

[@emanymton713]

Ah, my favorite “Chicago reacts” reactor at it again.

[@nathanmitchell7961]

KELSEY

[@thegeneral404]

Why does this both look and sound like the backrooms, if you listen closely you can hear the AC running and if you compare it with backrooms found footage things it's super similar. Or they just played it in the background because they realized it was similar.

[@CChissel]

You need to do Call Me Kevin, he does similar videos to graystillplays and letsgameitout, but far better IMO. Plus, he’s the OG content creator of those types of videos.

[@vividzx8034]

React to Chadborg his videos are like mini movies of games

[@Sleepin696]

Your a beautiful creature for knowing Chadborg ❤

[@DINO1974ful]

please react GEOGRAPHY NOW INDONESIA.

[@dean.jaffer212]

can we please get a reaction from kelsey or the two boys of TheRussianBadger's video on SSX 3

[@moleanoid3333]

Shoud react to: 'They call me the sneakiest player in Rainbow Six' by Marley it is soo good

[@CruelestChris]

I'd suggest reacting to some of tehsnakerer's videos.

[@ZanmeksArchives]

React to Brickys "The Outer Wilds - One of the best Sci-Fi games ever made"

[@toddcox01]

You should watch one of ldshadowlady's videos

This channel might as well be called "urbanite normies react".

[@feryth]

yes, that's the point. where have you been for the last few months?

[@majimasmajimemes1156]

What's the point in showing this video to anyone but a normie when they probably already know it.

[@scott_hunts]

That’s literally the point. If they knew about it it wouldn’t be entertaining. And Chicago is an urban center… I’m not a fan of urban living myself, but you should understand the value in seeing things from a different perspective, even if it’s as simple of a topic as this.
