Same thought. Remember the hit your kids article? Perfect.

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Remember? Maddox and whatever the X-ray blowjob dudes name was my high school. Hot wheels.

Five across the eyes?

Nostalgia hit, right in the gut!

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

I'll never forget the best way to kill yourself is by eating a bathtub full of beans.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He has a YouTube channel these days.

I never got bored with him haha.

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 52 points 1 month ago

Wooooow! I have not thought of Maddox in so long. This blows my mind.

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I'll never forget the Astro Glide story.

Judging kids artworks will forever be the funniest internet thing, at least in 2004 anyway.

[-] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Ding, ding! Here comes the shit-mobile!

[-] faceula@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Hehehe. That's the hairiest fire engine I've ever seen!

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

His wasn’t the Astro glide story, but he did link to that site on his page. I can’t remember that dude’s name though.

It was a great story.

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Your memory is certainly better than mine. I'm happy enough to have drawn a link between the two. My visits to Maddox's site coincided with the beginnings of my experimentation phase, so I appreciate anything that made it out the other side.

Despite how we might perceive Maddox in the modern day, the site was such a good representation of what the Internet looked like then. That was what content looked like.

I always end up feeling nostalgic when I talk about it.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

TUCKER MAX! Holy shit this has been driving me crazy. It just came to me out of nowhere. That’s who wrote it. I could be wrong but I don’t think so. The level of relief I feel makes me confident enough to make this comment before I go digging.

Edit:

I can’t find the story, but we both have a good memory because it’s clear he built his career from that one.

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Excellent fucking work, wow. This was like 2002-2003, around there, and so we're twp-plus decades back here. Keep doing whatever you're doing, it's working.

I'll edit too: I may have attributed some negativity to Maddox (although I think he was a self-proclaimed asshole), but Tucker Max is the one who for sure went a bit off the deep end, I recall he ended up writing a book. Pretty much just frat guy personified.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

He wrote 3 The sushi pants story is still my favorite but tucker max is a pile of shit

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I swear, I was standing outside having a smoke and bitching to my wife about how your comment was driving me insane. “Babe, I’m thinking it was Tucker, but all I can come up with is Tucker Carlson and, well, we both know that isn’t…MAX. It’s fucking TUCKER MAX!!! That’s it! I know that’s it!”

Haha, I swear I was going insane. It was on the tip of my tongue.

The relief I felt, oh my god!

Good lesson that money can’t buy decency, or class, or sex appeal, or brains … fix yourself first, jeez.

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

I used to have his book the alphabet of manliness. Whatever happened to the dude?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

No idea. This is the first I've seen from him in a while. His Loose Change (the 9/11 conspiracy documentary) takedown is legendary.

[-] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago

Oooh, never heard of that! Pls share? 🥹

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

Sure. I'm amazed it's still online and I didn't have to go to the Internet Archive!

But the spoons have barely melted at all….

[-] DScratch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

His YouTube channel seems to be his main outlet nowadays.

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

With your username, I can see that Maddox was formative to you.

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Was he a writer on the Simpsons?

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I know I had it too but I can't remember it for the life of me. I certainly remember buying it, but I just can't remember what was in it. Can't even that good I guess.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I bought one of the Maddox tshirts back in the day. When I moved, someone broke into my house and stole my clothes.

I was at work a few weeks later when an old junkie came in wearing my Maddox tshirt. I said, “Cool shirt man.” He replied, “Well, I ain’t a communist, I just wear whatever I can get at the thrift store.” I replied, “You mean whatever you stole from my house, right? That isn’t a communist shirt, it’s a dude who writes comedy on the internet.”

He swore he didn’t steal it. Mine was the only one I ever seen.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago

Maddox is a chud who should be shut down. I used to watch him then found The Dick show with Dickmasterson. But he became such a MAGA fuck that I had to stop. But Maddox is a asshole who sued Dick for a billion dollars including a guy who made fun of him.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Went further than “made fun of him”. They legit called on people to harass him and threaten his girlfriend with rape.

I guess it depends on where you get your info. We’ll see what happens eventually.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 month ago

On behalf of nearly everyone with a vagina, NO.

Please stop, thanks. Yikes.

[-] hate2bme@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

It sucks that there are plenty of people with vagina's out there that disagree.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

They don't give out taste or dignity along with every vagina.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 month ago

The eyes veins are a bit over done but the rest of his face looks properly gross

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Whole new meaning to, "Please clap."

From Jeb to Vance's donut shop stunt to Leon Musk... Those words are just so versatile in describing the desperation of the Right.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Respond with a court order for a stalker

[-] Cornpop@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Holy crap some memories just came flooding back lol. That’s awesome he’s still around.

[-] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I was just thinking about his reviewing kids drawings yesterday and pulled up the website to see if he has anything I haven’t seen in the decade plus since I’ve visited and then I got distracted and didn’t even check. Seeing his name on this made me do a double take.
