It doesn't even have to be universally or popularly funny. Even cringe and dark humor has a place and an audience. But he just comes off as mean. It's not even mean in a way that's enjoyable to joke about (see Keem or Gabbie); he just feels like an angry man on the internet.

[@Secure-Pay]

I was a regular viewer of Def Noodles, and as much as he will accuse me of being a "fake viewer" and "jumping on the bandwagon".. I just never commented but I religiously watched his videos every single day for over the past year. I've stopped this week as I'm so freaking disappointed in his behaviour, turning into a mix of Trisha Paytas and Onision - attention seeking via drama and being so incredibly hypocritical.

[@kevincola3184]

Yeah, I kind of stopped watching him maybe 4-8 months ago, I don't recall exactly. I had previously watched him pretty regularly and I sometimes commented. I enjoyed his videos, but he acts like he is some kind of satirical genius. The problem is that being sarcastic is not the only part of creating decent satirical content and Dennis doesn't seem to get that. I had to unsubscribe yesterday because of everything I've seen/read over the last several days. Dennis is just doing these awkward, unhinged rants at this point.

[@shinee-shawol]

This whole situation reminds me of that thing from Bojack Horseman where he has that habit of asking people if they got the joke right after he told it rather than waiting for a response. There's that one scene in season 01 where Bojack is doing standup and asks if the audience gets the joke after every single joke. People start getting annoyed and making their own jokes back and Bojack starts getting a bit uncomfortable/frustrated making the situation worse for him. Afterwards, he meets Herb who tells him that he doesn't need to constantly ask if people get the joke because he'll be able to tell by their reactions; if it's a good joke, they'll laugh. This whole Def Noodles - "Comedy" thing feels like this exact scene to me and he's not understanding that he doesn't need to ask if people "get the joke".

[@Sweet_Dee]

Then justifying his dismissal of Moist's critique as irrelevant because Most admitted he doesn't watch enough of Def's content to be able to speak on certain points... Ignoring the fact that Moist may have relevant points based on other experience, such as having his own very successful channel and understanding an audience. iNabber's absolutely right: Def needs a vacation; somewhere quiet and peaceful where he can take some plant medicine and reflect.

[@TheRibottoStudios]

Dude I've seen KZbin COMMENTS funnier than Def Noodles. If you need to explain the joke, it's not a funny joke. A good comedian will dominate an audience. The jokes will naturally flow into one another. Like I'll never forget hearing Ralphie May the first time OH MY GOD hilarious. When he made the Tsunami joke, and people groaned him, he played with the audience. "I can't believe some of y'all groaned me like I CAUSED THE TSUNAMI. Yeah, I did a cannon ball from 40,000 ft in the middle of the Indian Ocean cause I'm extreme and drink Mountain Dew." turned it around and made everyone laugh. THEN LITERALLY THE NEXT BIT was "Okay so this next joke only one person died. Big improvement right? When the Pope passed away." too funny. AND THEN IT RETURNED IT TO THE TSUNAMI JOKE like it just felt so natural. Incredible. This is just cringe.

he makes me SO uncomfortable. also definitely something to be said about how he had to open his own “comedy club” instead of just performing at a public open mic comedy night

[@randomlaughterislove]

After watching your video, I feel like I finally understand Def's "comedy." In his video explanation, he was trying to explain how the apology video was all a joke because the "apology" wasn't a serious apology, but (duh) nobody thought it was a serious apology. He seems to think saying something in a sarcastic tone automatically makes it a joke, so I decided to look up the definition of sarcasm: "the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say, especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny." Technically, yes, he is being sarcastic because he is saying the opposite of what he means, but the way he does it isn't succeeding in being funny; it's just showing his irritation. Sarcasm can definitely be used as a tool in comedy, but saying the opposite of what you mean isn't inherently funny.

[@kaleidoscopic9495]

But self awareness escapes so many people since he's made a very good living cringing at other people, and not being able to see he's being weird and coming off creepy. It's not like a funny thing where someone doesn't give a shit, he's being self aware in a way about destroying his career and people thinking he's lame, but not realizing the RESPONSE is key... I was shocked to realize he's 37. Also stop trying to diss Americans like we don't get sarcasm lmaooo you're always dissing us 😂

[@talynhastime9343]

We Americans get sarcasm, but only sometimes. It’s weird. We’re sassy yet earnest people. And I think we get sarcasm, but how it’s delivered is key. Deadpan stone faced sarcasm without any inflection is the British way, but Americans typically deliver sarcasm with exaggerated tone, expression, or a physical marker like an eyebrow raise, a smile, a goofy face, etc. But the content of the sarcasm is also key. Brits love to downplay things and treat absurd situations as normal when they’re not, Americans like to fake stupidity or obliviousness. Of course, these two arent mutually exclusive! 😗

[@jamiejam4588]

Dennis criticises Charlie for not being familiar enough with him and for jumping to conclusions (I guess??) but then in the same sentence admits he couldn’t even be bothered to watch Charlie’s whole video and then proceeds to jump to conclusions about Kritical. Dennis is just further proving that he’s a massive hypocrite and is legitimately unable to accept any kind of criticism. The way he reacts to people politely disagreeing with him is extremely immature, and it’s obvious that it is not an intentional satirical choice. He needs to practise his comedy and also learn not to take everything to such a personal degree. I’ve never been a fan of him (was barely aware he existed until recently) so I’m not familiar with him as a person, but everything I’ve seen about his recent downturn just perfectly displays the issues he needs to work on and seems to have needed to work on for a while.

He needs to chill you don't have to be good at everything. Take constructive criticism and move forward. Instead he's basically turning into keemstar

[@TwiggyHetfield27]

"he's basically turning into keemstar" It's so incredibly ironic. This man who used to jump down keems throat for doing to him what he is now doing to Papa Gut & seeing nothing wrong with it. Just. Like. Keemstar.

[@Boggythefroggy]

The keemstar bit at the end is so ironic considering the whole lawsuit situation atm..

[@genericname8727]

@@TwiggyHetfield27 plus he apparently used to work with Keemstar or something, right? Before their falling out? Now apparently a guy who works for Keemstar has been invited to the roast battle to roast Def at the next event, which seems like a bad idea considering his relationship with Keemstar and the ongoing lawsuit.. I’m not going to watch the actual event, but I’ll probably check what people have to say about that afterward. Very strange scenario Def’s put himself in.

[@littleblueclovers]

Charlie: Look at this cringe roast Def: Oh we got the COMEDY POLICE HERE. I’M SORRY YOU THINK I SHOULD DIE. LMFAOOO Charlie: I don’t know you. I just said the roast was cringe. Def: You don’t know me so you’re jumping to compulsions. You’re so ignorant it’s funny. Dude has an ego of a soap bubble

[@17leadermemesupreme84]

"Ego of a soap bubble" wow I m stealing that 😂

[@LeonieJMerry]

At this point I'm trying to convince myself that this is all a weird strategy Def has created. Like he's deliberately sabotaging himself, in order to orchestrate a comeback of some nature. That HAS to be it, right? Like he can't be that dense to think this is a good thing otherwise? If the guy went back to his regular tea/news reporting (in any format he chooses), and just built up his comedy on the side, I'd go re-sub right away. I can't even bear to watch his channel any more, hence coming to videos like this to get a breakdown of his latest rant. It's too cringe over there right now 😬

[@mirandar.cortez2889]

He just needs to take time away from the internet, get in touch with reality, and come back with a clear mind

[@myyoutube3022]

I like how you pointed out that he made a career off of reacting to cringe things but he can’t handle it when people say he’s cringe. It’s much easier to sit back and mock people who are trying to be creative and act as though you could do a way better job than to actually put yourself there and try something like comedy, singing, etc. it was telling when def noodles said maybe the people mocking him are insecure themselves, sounds like he’s projecting as he clearly can’t handle criticism which is a sign of insecurity

[@DropDeadFred887]

this whole spiral has just made me really grateful for your consistency and idk continued non spiral ... ness ? lol xoxo

[@ericrobins5188]

My issue is that there were a bunch of other channels making fun of Dennis for the roast. There were other creators who use his content to uploaded it to their live streams getting four times as many viewers and making money off of his hard work but he chooses to go after moist. Strictly for the controversy and to get people to talk about it because Moist has a way higher subscriber count.. That's it.

[@ANYHOO0]

There's no way his "team" actually thought that show was funny, I very much doubt he truly believes it was.

[@renharris6504]

I keep watching these def noodle videos by multiple people, and I still have no idea who he is or what he does or what he’s done now. Something about def noodles just slides through my brain without actually sticking, but maybe it’s for the best.

[@opheliak5548]

Comedy is subjective, but so is my opinion. It's absolutely pathetic to watch a grown 37yr old man get so butt hurt because someone doesn't find him funny. A grown man who has a career online talking about people and bringing us "news" can't handle it when he's the one being talked about. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@LouderThanLife7]

Beautifully said. Def Noodles needs a break before he does something he can't come back from. No one likes to watch others suffer

[@ijustdidahugeshit]

I was told something about you

[@alyseomillian7556]

It’s definitely not just “the British in you”he’s definitely not funny and is not using sarcasm. He’s being terribly passive aggressive.

[@moxiemaxie3543]

Does anyone find his response to Charlie as calculated for MAX views since he didn't generally address the other YTbers?

[@epice834]

honestly, I was holding on to the slim chance that he would tie this all together in an Andy Kaufman -esque joke. dammit. now we just get to watch an idiot try to save his career by attempting a Joker Arc.

[@chickenlittle5095]

Wonder if DN has ever wondered why he hasn’t risen in the comedian role has to do with being unable to accept constructive criticism? Tbf no one enjoys getting criticism but you accept it and take it on board to IMPROVE! Not that I consider myself a comedian in any way, shape or form BUT I would say that to be a comedian would need for you to have thick skin. You gonna dish it out, you gotta take it.

[@DestinyKiller]

Def Noodles insisting he's a comedian and unbothered has the same energy as Shane Dawson insisting he's an empath On a more serious note, I do feel kind of bad for his "comedy" bombing so hard but what's less forgivable and much less sympathetic is calling people alt- right for criticizing Ethan Klein and always going out to ride for him (hopefully he's opened his eyes to the fact that Ethan could care less about him) and what's even less sympathetic is his nasty little habit of lying, calling people atrocious things and his weird cult like mentality that if you criticize him/are concerned for him you're being "weird and parasocial and you don't know him" but if you completely validate him and ignore his flaws you're a "ride or die fan and his real ones talk and think like him". He feels off to me

[@Sweet_Dee]

For me it is so embarrassing to tell a joke that didn't land or people didn't get. I don't get embarrassed by much else, but for some reason that one little thing makes me wince lol....But this dude is out here WILLFULLY explaining his jokes, dragging the mess out, basking in how unfunny he is 🥴 It's somehow brazen and cowardly at the same time!

[@eviezucchinimartini]

wow, he really keeps getting more unhinged as the years go on. he's always been extremely passive aggressive and defensive. it's just showing its ugly head now

[@saelina4137]

there is no way anyone actually sat through the 1 hr not sorry vid, right? after 15 minutes of him and the other dudes explaining the joke I zoned out completely cause how hurt he sounded despite saying many times that he wasnt actually hurt. Once I saw the video was an hour long I said out loud "I'm not listening to this for an hour what the hell"

[@mikandreams]

exited out the moment he started shouting “are you guys ready” or whatever for the 5th time and no one in the audience responded 💀

[@embo3520]

Been watching you for a while and I just wanna say that it's been awesome seeing you hit your stride. It seems like you've gotten more comfortable & more confident in saying your thoughts, well done as always!

[@Jay-em1uc]

this ramen dude is really going off recently lmao. i'm happy you're covering it.

[@mayflower5193]

You did a really good job explaining this drama and even attempting to explain it to def himself lol I really liked your approach, it was simple, gentle, but exact. Like how could he not understand after hearing it put this way? We'll see lol

[@garrettdart6088]

funny enough. you made me REALLY want to go to a comedy show where an extremely talented comedian does an aftershow to explain their jokes. that actually sounds like a good time.

[@remygallardo7364]

I feel like Def legitimately thinks he's some Andy Kaufman level comedian but the thing that made Andy a genius is he understood that no matter how creatively jarring the performance the payoff MUST COME. He once intentionally did a set in a comedy club where he came out with a bongo that he set aside, was timid, on the verge of tears, told bad jokes and bombed horribly, walked off, came back, had a surprisingly convincing emotional breakdown and then turned his dramatic crying into a bongo song. Meanwhile Def just sniffs his own farts, screams about how great they smell and then gets angry when people say it smells like shit, because "that's the joke."

[@HorrorGirlNat]

Honestly before this week I never heard of this Noodle guy and now I still wish I hadn't. I hope Charlie doesn't respond to part 2 it's just the attention this guy seems desperate for.

[@LeonieJMerry]

I watched his daily videos for tea/drama. Not really because I care about it, but it's nice to stay informed, and Def was pretty good at uploading videos the day the tea happened - whereas some other drama channels can take days or even weeks. Now I can't even watch his rant videos. It's too cringe. Unsubbed about a week ago, and he's still losing like a thousand subs a day.

[@paxtongray3462]

It is very wholesome to see commentary channels like this and Critikal having empathy/trying to help. All things aside, I think a lot of creators are actually trying to lend him a hand and give him the benefit of the doubt

[@ChimeraGirl_]

I'd rather pay to watch you and Kenji awkwardly stare at each other for an hour than pay for what you shared of Def's roast battle in the last video. Especially if Kenji wears a jacket. lol Man, Dennis just keeps making the situation worse and worse with his denial and passive aggression. I really hope he takes a break from the internet for a little while to get his sh*t together.

[@Emidoki]

Why does Def's response remind me so much of Plankton from SpongeBob? He fails at comedy time after time just like Plankton continues to fail to get the secret krabby patty formula, but they both keep trying anyway. They also have a similar tone in the way they rant on about their obsessions.

[@gmnrggggg]

Def Noodles might just be the proof that comedy is objective

[@bigjonno]

the skits that have come out of this whole roast battle have been fucking golden 🤣

[@TwiggyHetfield27]

The fact that Dennis just HAS to make a video after every criticism & calls it "allegations" to try & make it funny is just sad. Yes, we ALL know comedy is subjective, but when your comedy isn't "subjectively" funny in any way, shape, or form to ANYONE, then maybe you're not as funny as you think.

[@madblackliam]

Def Noodles is the quickest rise and fall I've ever seen this is CreepshowArt levels of "I Just Fd My Career."

[@annegallagher4005]

When a comedian has to explain his comedy... then something is completely wrong! That sums it up pretty much!

[@Dither87]

Basically the internet in response to him is, "It's not that deep bro". You're not funny, Def. "Stop. Get some help."

[@WeldingQueen]

I think that he's convinced himself that he's a comedian and now he's just trying to convince the rest of the world......but no one's laughing (with him)

[@mybittersweetme]

I think you hit the nail on the head with the sarcasm vs comedic sarcasm vs passive aggressiveness. I think the "joke" would've landed if with the music and b/w and everything he just said something like I apologize for wasting your time with my horrible comedy, I will now return to my day job which is what i do best and started irrelevant news like nothing has happened! That would've been peeeerfect. He would've acknowledged he bombed, he wouldn't have gone all crazy so there wouldn't be any more videos about it or his reaction or response and best of all, he would've been able to distance himself from all this back and forth about comedy and his jokes and all of the cringe. You are absolutely right that these are non issues and this is "drama" that never needed to go this far. The sheer ridiculousness of all of this is baffling. If his responses weren't so unhinged I think people eventually would've forgotten about the papa gut situation and he'd be back on top (just like every other controversial creator), however, I think that right now no one is watching his actual content because they're annoyed that he can't let things go and are not getting the content they subscribed for. This is not the good type of ridiculous drama for views, it's the bad kind, the kind that drives people away.

[@aisle_of_view]

He's funny in a Brendan Shaub way. Into the penalty box with Shane, Tate, Alex Jones, etc he goes.

[@ijustdidahugeshit]

Are you planning to get pregnant?

[@spiderev]

def noodles sounds like a south park character 😭

[@sooploopz]

When I saw def make yet another video about moist I was like.... oh dear lord... getting involved in his drama is like getting involved in a pyramid scheme 😩😩

[@Lauramahon1987]

A comedy mlm... Don't go giving him any ideas!!

[@zannadunstrand6289]

I used to watch and interact with every single video of his. But after all this im just.. Disappointed, embaressed for him and … im just cringeing (even tho i will miss some of his content and are mourning those videos). And when I saw his ”stand up comedy show” AND him getting into ”war” with Charley (moistcritikal) just due to him not being able to take critik , when he gives critik to others in EVERY VIDEO, AND THEN I FOUNDATION OUT THE GUY IS ALMOST 40 (!!!). By that point I just felt ”nope, no more mourning, he’s gone forever for me and thats not worth me mourning, its just a good thing”

[@sxhizornsmn]

he’s honestly being offensive to his audience by undermining their intelligence in whether or not they can tell if something is humorous or passive-aggressive. it’s sad.

[@animepiglover]

You know its bad when I go "oh thank gawd" when a Def noodles clip gets interrupted by an ad 😅😂

Aw hell yeah let's go, more drama
