[@zinarmagadan3751]

It was always under my understanding that Ponce loved that role...

[@crabbypanda]

He did. It was unfortunate that money and miscommunication deprived Josh of a role he loved.

[@zinarmagadan3751]

@@crabbypanda That sucks. I hope he's still around and doing well.

[@sscottytoohotty]

Exactly ,, that’s one of the reasons i loved the series and Poncey himself,, he was able to laugh at himself and his disorder. It’s really rare nowadays to find people that don’t take themselves too seriously. He loved playing that role and I find it so annoying when people get offended “for” him. Sure you can get offended by the series everyone is entitled to their opinions but some people acted like Greg was mistreating or bullying Josh but they didn’t know Josh actually enjoyed being the retarded policeman. It’s similar to when white SJW’s rallied to get Speedy Gonzales banned, removed, or censored in a way because he was a “racist” depiction of Hispanics/Latinos but then the Hispanic/Latino community spoke out because they loved and adored Speedy. The world is just full of white people getting offended on other’s behalf. sorry I wrote a whole novel lol.

Hey man, stumbled on this after all these years. Thank you so much for standing up for my brother-in-laws. You were one of the few willing to put themselves out there for fear of monetary backlash on their channels. Really sad that Greg made out with all that money... of which I don't think we ever truly found out. When you "split a pizza" you don't expect one guy to eat 90+% of the pizza and just leave you a crust. "We'll put it on my channel since I'm already monetized" was the worst thing they ever agreed to and the slickest thing Greg ever did... I bet he was vibrating after that conversation, knowing how bad he was screwing them over. :( Thanks again Corey, hope your life is going well!

[@gowgearhead]

So is this why all his videos are gone? Awe man. Ponce's videos were a good chunk of my childhood/teen years. I hope his videos come back. I have a fondness in my heart for Ponce. His videos helped me through some very hard times in my life. I hope he and his brother are doing alright. The guy running Mediocre Films seems okay, but what he did to Ponce is unacceptable. Such a shame. :( I hope it gets resolved (I know this is a really old video, but I saw it in my search suggestions). Also good to see Nalts commenting! Wh00t! Brings back memories of a more wholesome non-Corporate KZbin community.

[@robe.2424]

Ohh. I can see now why Mediocrefilms sort of vanished. The fact Ponceman was making humor and light of a disability in my eyes made him a legend and pioneer of a sort. He created something unique compared to typical crude humor or cheezy comedy movies Hollywood shovels out. But the fact he didn’t see really much of anything at all for his effort is upsetting. I still believe he has talent and can make a bigger awesome name for himself. He already has experience and I think it would be awesome if he creat his own youtube channel or show focused on comedy. He’s a fantastic actor!

[@a-train69420]

Retarded Policeman was one of the first series I ever watched on KZbin. Must've been close to 15 years ago now, probably 2008 or 2009, when I was 8-9 years old. I completely forgot about the series until I saw a clip on KZbin shorts, which led to me trying to look up the videos and finding that all of the original posts had been removed.

Hey Corey. I dig the Ponce brothers too. My understanding (as one-sided as yours since I have only talked to Greg) is that Greg had a "work for hire" deal with them, and Benson directed most and produced all. So that explains why the revenue wasn't split 50/50. No?

[@gowgearhead]

Dude, it's great seeing you on here. I legit miss you and Mr. Safety's videos. I remember that one video you guys did where you guys were complaining about Sparta taking up the fame-space on KZbin. It was like "This Mean Kitty is taking up our spot!" (I can't remember if you made a song for that video or not). I have a lot of fond memories from that era of KZbin. I hope you guys are all doing well in your lives. I heard that Sparta and Loki passed away. I usually don't get too sad when a famous person or animal passes, but I was saddened when I heard (and saw Corey's tearful video on the matter). I'm glad I got to remember all this again. Hope you're doing great, Nalts! :) P.S. Whenever you hid part of your face, I got reminded of that guy from Home Improvement (the neighbor whose face is never fully seen). You always gave off a wholesome dad vibe. Also, I never thought Chad Vader's voice actor would end up working for LucasArts (doing Vader's voice in a couple of games, I believe).
