"Comedy Slam" The dude is hyping his supposed "stand up" set like it's a fucking hype, and it makes it plainly obvious to see what he's getting at. He seems to think that the "funny guy" and the "cool guy" can both be the same person. It doesn't work like that. His channel hasn't been doing so well, so he thinks if he goes up to a microphone he'll have his moment to finally show everyone how cool and dope he really is(as if youtube didn't already give him that opportunity, he doesn't realize he's pigeon holed himself into being stuck at his current level of fame, and it's EATING him up because it's not enough to make him happy)

i don’t get being happy about someone simply sharing the same nationality as you, especially considering he was born and raised in the us but to each their own i guess

[@axuwu6939]

@@save_bandit Yeah maybe it’s a little weird, but it’s a nationality I rarely see anyone share! I feel like Brazil is one of those cultures that are well-known about for everyone to know it exists, but it still gets a little forgotten? Like, anyone can probably name lots of big, popular food items or holidays from the cultures that get talked about all the time, even if the answers end up a little stereotypical, but would most non-Brazilians be able to recognize most of those popular Brazilian things? I’m often selecting “other” when forms ask me for my nationality because sometimes they skip putting “Latino/Hispanic” and just go with “Hispanic” Hell, the amount of people who think Brazilians speak Spanish or that Brazil is in Portugal is quite a bit more than I expected to meet lol. I even got asked a little while ago if my family eats enchiladas and tacos at home when they found out I was Brazilian 😂 Of course, I have zero expectations for people to know everything about every culture ever, that would be silly, and my intention isn’t to complain about that. I’m just saying that when I find someone else who is Brazilian, no matter where they were raised, there’s that little bit of parasocial connection made between us! “Oh, that person must like pão de queijo and guarana too! Oh, that person must celebrate Carnaval too! That person must have spent their childhood reading turma da monica too!!” Those examples are super generic and stereotypical, but it’s still a little connection between me and a stranger over things that most people I meet can’t relate to. I think that’s why whenever Brazil is mentioned here on KZbin, there’s a sea of comments going “🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 BRASIL!!!!!” Sorry for writing that huge essay in reply to your comment 😭 It just got me thinking “yeah, that is weird, why does that make me so happy?” and that led to this lol

What's crazy is that he had a huge fanbase giving him a pass for egregiously irresponsible journalism and unfunny comedy for several years, and he pissed that all away because people who already didn't like him, continued not to like him, and were vocal about it. It's really incredible.

[@JJ-et7il]

I'm as amazed by how long it took for this to happen as I was that this guy became successful in the first place. The dude isn't funny, he tries to act like he isn't just another drama KZbinr but he is, and this is the biggest case I've seen in a long time of "Can dish it out but can't take it." Being unfunny doesn't make him a bad person, his "journalism" style for lack of a better word, and the fact that he's a tone deaf asshole, makes him bad. The guy has straight up lied about people and he thinks that's okay. Dennis has no integrity whatsoever.

[@JJ-et7il]

That and people like Ethan Klein and others who hate Keemstar gassed him up and made him think he was talented and funny. The truth is that Ethan Klein will automatically like somebody no matter how cringe or horrible a person they are, so long as they hate Keemstar. People like that propped him up and gave him a bigger voice and platform not realizing he's almost as bad as Keem. He became big that way. Now rather than just suck it up and admit they were wrong, these KZbinrs are essentially ghosting him and pretending nothing is happening, when clearly a total shit show is going on. Dennis is so lucky he made it this far.

As someone who is in therapy, it's hard to imagine Def's mental health issues only needing a "4 weeks and you're done" type of thing. Some therapies that go really hard _can_ do that, but it seems pretty obvious Def still has issues he's not addressing. He's being self-destructive with causing the bans on his accounts, he's obsessively watching videos about himself, and he's in some state of denial where he sees himself as a great comedian yet can't take any criticism. Plus, it's just unhealthy to be as mean as he's being online.

[@caitthecat]

Even the "4 weeks and done" therapies are meant to have follow ups. I have a feeling though that he needs behavioural therapy, and that is a long term commitment.

[@mightymeatymech]

I gotta agree! I was too impatient and anxious to stick with therapy in my early twenties. Two years in and I'm finally seeing huge changes, people around me have said they can see how I've grown too. It's worth it, I hope he sees that. I think everyone could use a bit of therapy, even if it's not weekly like mine. My brother has his set up to where they schedule an appt with his therapist when he has his bi annual Existential Crisis lol

[@Lenape_Lady]

He needs drug rehab. That’s the real problem.

[@TheGoreTheorists]

sounds like a narcissistic personality disorder- he probably needs to go to more therapy.

[@thelexicon7294]

In my experience, calling therapy the "coolest, dopest shit you've ever done" and talking about how much fun it is is a clear indication that you're just going for a chat with a buddy. I also did that in my early 20s. I had a therapist who acted as a friend and we just gossipped about my coworkers. Not all therapists are willing to engage or even challenge you. So you can think that you must be doing well because therapy is a breeze - when in actuality no progress is being made.

[@sinjin8576]

It's hard for me to believe him when he says hes happy when he comes out and physically assaults someone he invited to his roast show, when he sues a assistant for defamation even though she never mentioned his name once and when he spents half his time angrily shouting at people online. These are not the actions of a happy person.

[@1stdegreetea494]

If you come off as truly happy, the unhappy people in the world will find a problem with that and make up reasons to hate you. I notice this especially in the workplace. If ppl only knew, I may put on a happy face in public and at work, but I'm not THAT happy. Nobody is. It's just the way I act when others are around and I've been like that my whole life.

Seeing stories of young people that were shortly succesfull and then kept chasing that for years without any result, destroying their lives in the process, made me realize how "well" designed the site is in this regard (there's segment about this in Supereyepatchwolf's video on youtube succes courses).

It's more cultish than anything, to surround yourself with only yes-men and people who agree. It's linked to narcissistic personalities who get enabled by their environment to only get worse and worse. You can see this clearly with Def, he's getting out of touch and starting to attack anybody who disagrees with him. He cannot be the one who is wrong, the fault has to be in everybody else. All of this despite being a public figure and comedian. Then his defenders come out with basically the take that he's always right, everything about him is great, he shouldn't change and it's everyone else who is wrong - enabling him to continue the cycle.

I hate that he’s like “ew stop with the weird parasocial relationship” when it’s comments of concern or criticism, but when someone comments talking like him and hyping him up he changes to “see this is my TRUE fan” 🤨 what’s with the switch up bud? Thought parasocial was creepy and weird what happened? Anyway Leo, can’t wait to see you on the big screen of the next roast lol

[@dissonantdreams]

It’s very much giving the energy that he just heard the word “parasocial” last week, but he still hasn’t got around to learning what it means.

[@rougecarpetdisaster]

the dante joke u made is really good bc the 8th circle is for people who are fraudulent and basically prey on other people's downfalls so that was brilliant

[@litneyloxan]

His version of comedy is how boys in high school joked saying really rude and weird things that are insulting, then immediately saying it’s just a joke so you shouldn’t get offended

[@theminiaturebiker4142]

I watched you way back when you first started, and for some reason, the algorithm stopped showing me your posts, but it's since started showing me them again, and I've fallen back in love with this channel. The comedy is incredible. Has my crying with laughter! Keep it up, mate, so good to see you thriving!

[@edyoll]

He reminds me of gabbie hanna a lot. The whole”im doing my own thing and you cant watch or dont!!” Reminds me of her making videos about jessi smiles and old drama stuff and everyone telling her what she was doing is bad and she just doesnt care. I think youtube fame gives people this weird sense of entitlement and desperation at the same time and it’s interesting but sad to watch that spiral

[@edyoll]

Literally all the way down to the weird body stuf. Like posting thirst traps and stuff its just weird the parallels lol

that " roast" was painful. it was giving me high schoolers that watched one comedy special and thought to themselves..." we can do that" and bomb to hell and back. comedy is a craft. also his " voice" is ripped completely from an oldschool comedy dude who's name escapes me now

I used to watch him like the morning news for a lonnnggg time a year or so ago, I stopped watching him when I realized I just didn’t care about internet drama as much as I used to, had nothing to do with him. But this series of events is both sad to me and just.. not surprising at all

[@talynhastime9343]

Same. When the pandemic hit, I had so much free time that I decided to get into beauty guru and youtube tea channels. I didn’t mind Dennis’s jokes. They were whatever for me, but eventually I stopped watching because, well, I can’t do anything about the shitty things celebs do, so what’s the point in getting mad about what Jeffree Star or Trisha Paytas is doing.. seeing Dennis throw his career away is a sight to behold.

[@berniceboshoff1503]

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I realised keeping up with internet drama was actually super toxic, getting outraged about stupid people doing stupid things that are always unsurprising didn't help my already spiraling mental health. Started working out with anime as background noise instead, much better.

[@smordann4230]

Tbh I thought it was a breath of fresh air bc we are so saturated with the same “influencers” doing shit that was dumb or whatever and he made it into a joke. I didn’t mind it at all. However, he deviated from that and I think that was the first thing that made ppl change their minds then of course it was a fast fall into this hell scape he created. Ppl like the non serious bullshit he did. But he totally went insane and yes I get it I would also get a little bit tired of the messy tabloid drama but I think he truly missed out on a lot of success by doing whatever he’s doing now.

Real moment here; ever since I started watching your videos, I truly, really, don't think anyone could replace you in the way you're absolutely hilarious, but in a serious way. I think to some, you're truly irreplaceable. If you ever just stopped making videos one day, I wouldn't try to watch someone else, you're literally like 1 of 4 KZbinrs I watch and I'm so grateful to have come across you're channel. I hope this is seen, but if it isn't, I hope other people think this too. :>

[@Hoorkat]

Def Noodles at his first comedy night is exactly like me at the first day of my preschool class every year. Hollering, laughing, and attempting to elicit a response from a sea of blank and confused faces.

[@kristinomardeen1517]

I just stumbled across your channel last night and have been binging a lot of your vids, and I just gotta say your commentary is gold and genuinely makes me laugh, while being so on point and intellectual. Thank you for your content!

[@Ynattirb73]

This is the first video I've seen of yours and I can easily say your jokes/comments about Def noodles had me laughing harder than I have in a while

[@es68951]

Everything about this whole thing just feels like someone introduced Def Noodles to cocaine, and his response was “yes, this will be my career now”. Everything you describe/mention just reminds me of 'that dude who's doing way too much coke'.

[@marijuana.eyes.]

That is exactly what I've been thinking every time I watch these clips

It’s definitely what’s going on and idk why more ppl don’t see it. He’s suddenly bff with Monty Lopez? What a random friendship. Until you realize that Monty is one of the biggest coke-heads in Hollywood. Then it allllllll makes sense. All of it.

@44:57 its really crazy how this man just got done talking parasocial relationships and how his fans don't know him but then just called his fans his "ride or dies", what in the cartoon logic?

[@snooganslestat2030]

If your being nice to him it's all good & you're a real fan, If you disagree or dont kiss his ass its para-social.

[@razorsharp5643]

Tell him how great he is and how he's right and everyone else is wrong, and it's all good. Criticize him in any way and you're a bad person. Classic narcissism / yes-man behavior.

It’s really sad his down fall. I loved watching his old stuff and then when he said he didn’t wanna do the cat ear thing anymore I was good with it he was entertaining but then this whole thing just went way to far and it’s sad he can’t see he has a problem I wish him the best but he definitely lost me as a subscriber. Love you Leo! Thanks for the vid ❤

So happy I found you! Your breakdown of this raging dumpster and surrounding area fire is beyond brilliant!!! Honestly, I was smiling throughout this entire video because you exposed him in the most classy and respectful yet hilarious way I’ve seen yet. I love how you pointed out that it’s good for men to have emotions and display them and not having any is a problem. Mr. Leo, you are amazingly brilliant and the internet is lucky to have a logical yet authentically humble and thoughtful opinion like yours. Definitely a new subscriber and fan.

[@lizamay722]

I feel the same. I'm so glad I found his channel, he's one of the best people I've subbed to, and I almost didn't give him a chance. (I was being ignorant, and I feel guilty for it. I usually just watch TCAP reactions, and the larger YTers like Cinnamontoastken, Pewds, Grim, Julien Solomita, etc.) I'm happy I found him and I'm never gonna stop watching now

This is the first video i've seen of yours and I love it, your commentary is actually great

[@natalierose13]

Oh his third roast, he found Nick DiRamio skulking in the live chat and making what I assume to be HILARIOUS comments lol and Noodles couldn’t handle it or leave him alone. He literally pulled up his profile and made everyone look at his profile and make jokes based on wrong assumptions about him (except for him being gay). Nick has done, now three breakdowns, one of each roast, including the one where he was the star of Dennis’ show, and they’re obviously hilarious and way better than the roasts themselves, but Dennis ESPECIALLY didn’t like that. Even after they moved on, Dennis couldn’t let it go and brought it back to him again. It’s funny if he and his minions on stage actually watched Nick’s videos, they would see how smart and well educated he is regarding comedy and film, how he uses his platform to give a voice to marginalized communities, while also making us laugh our asses off, and maybe they would learn a little something lol. Maybe the Noodles crew should do a little homework and watch some of Nick’s videos before the next Roast Battle lol.

I'm not a fan of any youtuber. I'm still subscribed to hundreds of channels. Being a subscriber and watching vids doesn't equal being a fan. And it shouldn't. I watch this like I watched TV growing up.. And even then I understood that being a fan makes life more difficult cuz you now feel responsible for the actions of another human being. I think it's healthy to not idolize any human, keeps everyone more grounded and honest.

Sounds like you are a fan of some creators, but just not obsessive or stanlike. It's fine to be a fan of someone or something. I don't understand this frankly senseless mentality of being a fan being not only bad, but synonymous with being idolism. You're not idolizing anyone? Not worshipping the ground one walks upon? Good. That's just being healthy, not some special soapbox to stand on. I'm a fan of a lot of people, but I also live by a quote from an ADC from lol. "The only thing I look to is the sky." ~Sivir
