People say things, some people think it's funny, some people think it's stupid. Move on. Uh, I count one person who seemed to dislike InControl and maybe two other posters that said his accent was unfunny. Yet those few comments were drowned out by simply a lot more people affirming they enjoyed the show and his contribution to it. Some here act as if they were personally insulted. These podcasts are semi-professional, so why can't people criticize it? In any case, all the posts saying "omg, who cares, it's just a joke, srsly" derailed this thread a lot more. | ||

I make fun of Nony's monotone voice and losing to me in past events, no problem. I make fun of German accents... HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE. HE DID WHAT? HE WENT THERE? EVERYONE KNOWS ACCENTS ARE SACRED AND HOLY. CALL UP ISLAM WE NEED TO FUCKING HEAD REMOVE THIS KID I don't think it was the content that made anyone give a shit moreso the awkwardness of it. Artosis vs incontrol is always hilarious because both people join in and its ridiculous as fuck. The way the conversation went with TLO was just strange because he was just being quiet while you went off. It seemed awkward and weird.. Having said all that I wouldn't change anything you do, you're a great addition to the podcast it's just a joke that failed. No big deal. If everyone quit talking shit everytime a joke failed we'd have no comedians. so keep on keeping on incontrol just try to be more adept at noticing a failed joke. | ||

But making fun of an accent just has a whole ignorance type deal associated with it. I guess it's similar to making fun of someone for wearing a turban. I think this is really only an issue with us americans because we're so cut off from everyone. You're basically pointing out that you're not culturally well rounded and you bring your ignorance into the spotlight about a normal thing that most other people don't find unusual at all which is where the awkwardness comes from. No, it's not an issue with only you Americans. People make fun of accents all the time, everywhere. Estonia has 1.4 million people and we make fun of each other's regional accents all the time. There was nothing awkward about it. It was funny, TLO didn't seem offended, and then InC apparently thought people from the Alps sound like Mary Poppins. Would you be offended if TLO was from England and InC put on a bad Mockney accent and then tried to do Yorkshire that ended up sounding like Bavarian? | ||

If you can't take a joke about some dude's accent then you have bigger problems to deal with than what some guy you never met says on a podcast. Humor is subjective, so of course not everyone is going to find the same stuff funny, but to be offended by simple jokes and then to get up on a soap box and try to dissuade others opinions on what is funny is even more offensive to me than any joke could be. When Incontrol mentioned WWII I lo fuckin l'd. Great podcast. I wish these could be on more than once a week. The point is those mysterious 'people' that take offense at everything actually don't exist. There's been one person that felt offended, and now there are four pages of complaints about how people can't take a joke. This is just like the forums of some website dedicated to television shows. Someone makes one comment about disliking an episode and subsequently all discussion is halted until everyone has had the chance to tell that evil person to go away and stop ruining their fun. | ||
