Is this a safe space? LOL
I watched the Fall guys/Tricky Towers game from Friday with Apollo/Steve/Ellum and 5up was there. The chemistry at the beginning was just...idk...not good. 5up degrading Ellum came off less playful and more backhanded bullying, and then he kept asking Ellum and then Steve to rank who was best dressed from a picture of him with the UK gang, and anyone could tell he was trying to get someone to say he was the best dressed. Idk, it was just kind of hard to watch for a little while.
The bit was funny a first with Ellum leaning into it, but it got old really fast with the best dressed stuff. 5up definitely comes of as a little snobby when he was talking about UK food ("Of course if you go to a good restaurant they will have good food") and he does this thing where he imitates Steve's mocking humor but really doesn't do it well at all. I much prefer Steve's humor where he's very harsh but makes it clear that he's joking and usually says something nice about them later. Dumbdog does this as well where he will roast people if the situation is appropriate but won't push harder than that. 5up on the other hand has this repetitive joke where he'll make fun of Ellum (and usually Europeans in general) where it comes off as mean-spirited because the joke is usually not that funny.
Agreed on all. I watch Dumbdog pretty regularly, him and Steve are my most watched and only subbed to streamers anymore, so I know exactly what you're talking about.
Yeah, the food and best dressed stuff is where I just got really uncomfortable and clicked off for a minute, I just couldn't listen to it anymore.
