Gabe (of "Gabe and Max") takes on YouTubeTards
Regular Boing Boing denizens may recall Gabe Delahaye from a Boing Boing tv episode or two in which he and Max Silvestri lampooned late-night infomercials about "how to achieve the dream life of your dreams using the internet." Gabe is now producing internet funnynuggets for videogum, and in this episode, he takes on the dance-war/vlog-vs-vlog/troll-vs-troll activity that clogs so much of YouTube. I LOLled. Video Link. To fully appreciate the scope of this work, I recommend that you first watch Sexman's My Jumper Review. Warning, though, spoilers ahead!

I heart Gabe.
And Lindsay's rules.
I'm surprised this has never been done before.
Yay.
Guess this video is down now. ( ? )
I'll miss Gabes Vlag!!

say, just as an experiment, does someone want to post their credit card number and expiry date?

oh wow! filtered? :), smart boingians
I was wondering which one was which so I could more effectively cyber-stalk them. Thanks, BoingBoing!
P.S. More Max then Gabe. Although, now that he has that beard....
You stole the cub, I mean words, right out of my mouth. I like the beard, but I liked him with just the moustache, too. He had a little of that Vlad the Impaler look.
Funny!
Very creative but the word "tards" is kind of mean I think. I know its a slang word & I'm not offended b/c I understand its not meant to be mean, but my step brother has a learning disability and gets called a tard sometimes at our school. He's not mentally retarded but just takes longer to learn some things.
Xeni I am not trying to post off topic btw.
Nice Video Gabe. Whats up with all the spammy links (Discount Online Xanax Discount Oxycontin) on your site http://corporate-casual.com/ though? Careful Google no likey.
Hey, @torrance, thanks for sharing that. I hadn't thought of that implication, and I'll consider that next time I think about using this word for comic effect.
actually, I also object to that word. It has become a "no harm intended" through common use, but I remember all too well a time when it was a cruel weapon.
Video no longer available? Anyone have another link?
Never mind. Don't know if it was just me, it's loading now.
Bloody brilliant! Now I remember why I ignore my friends' repeated "you have to watch this guy" rants about random internet people they've never met. The Show is about the only one I've caved in on so far that seemed worth it.
Anyone know if he's still doing The Unethicist for Gawker?
It is so gay to whine about calling people tards.
Using "tard" as a generic insult is so gay!
gay people can fight back
Indeed, if homosexuals are known for anything, it's using the word "tard" in an innocuous but potentially offensive way.
That and butt sex, but mostly the tard thing.
to build social justice, start at the bottom with the most defenseless and powerless.
I wonder if we will soon see a world where the old are cast down by a flood of children.
17 & 18 - hivemind!

Takuan, what about animals? They pretty much have absolutely no rights at all; children have some rights, at least.
Tard is clearly short for dastard, anyway.
"When you wrestle with the devil, you're going to get wet with fire."
How do you not love that?
You just like the part about wrestling with the devil.
I don't mind the word "tard" one bit.
"Idiot" and "moron" used to be actual medical terms. We can't use those either? That would be idiotic, moronic, and retarded, all at once.
