this is really good. I loved the volatility of this show as a teenager and went back to it a few years ago on YouTube expecting to binge and laugh all over again. I had to turn it off, the snobbery and classism was too dismal/exploitative. such an ugly side of human nature
this was essentially my experience. i watched it around 18 and remember thinking then it was a bit gross, and now looking back i'm like "holy shit this was so irresponsible"
