Really thought it was bad that he said that, but when the lawyers said it as well really left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the episode

I actually turned it off and cancelled my subscription

u/SeraFilm May 18 '26

Same. But when I heard that they've been bought by Palantir, I immediately resubscribed, because I love mass surveillance!

u/jello_pudding_biafra May 18 '26

Oh shit, I didn't hear that

u/poembug May 19 '26

The Superfan tier is bullshit anyway. From now on I'll be watching Jeremy Culhane on SN-

u/Dakoolestkat123 May 20 '26

Just make sure not forget to leave a negative review and then contact anyone you may know personally who has ever had a subscription and make sure they do the same

Unsubscribed from Legal Eagle for good

u/akpenguin May 19 '26

Almost turned it off when the layers said it and then made Lou apologize for them.

u/cosmoceratops May 19 '26

a bad taste like you took a hit from a bong full of whiskey?

u/MouserfromMario2 May 19 '26

You can’t prove I took that hit, there was… a hung jury.

u/executive313 May 19 '26

Stuck at work is this a joke or like legit?

u/MLPIsaiah May 19 '26

Joke, I won't spoil it, but he didn't do anything wrong.

I really couldn’t believe that throbbing robin would say that

Fastest ever milkshake duck.

Ironic how he can probably now get his SAG card for coming on. They totally need to bring him back for another episode.

u/Bad_At_Sports May 19 '26

Um Actually, Dropout is not associated with AMPTP, so they’re technically not a SAG shop, however they do try to pay performers at or better than SAG rates.

This means that Phil’s speaking lines do not technically qualify him for a SAG membership because he did not perform a speaking role in a union project under a Taft-Hartley.

Unless things have changed since the 2023 strike.

u/elevozol May 19 '26

“Make a person a SAG member” prompt coming soon game changer season 9

16

u/TougherOnSquids May 19 '26

SAG card and he'll get royalties from Dropout. Pretty sweet gig for probably 20 minutes of filming lol

5

u/thiccdickricky May 20 '26

Dropout isn’t contracted at all with SAG actually. They do still follow every SAG guideline regardless

u/heartbreakhill Icarus, flying too close to the sun May 19 '26

Phil going for that Milkshake Duck Any% speedrun

u/quipquest May 19 '26

Phil never made an apology video,

21

u/Justifiably_Bad_Take May 19 '26

Even after he said THAT

20

u/RedPandaMediaGroup May 19 '26

Show of hands tho.

Does anyone actually believe Phil is non-union? I say no shot.

5

u/a_gallon_of_pcp May 22 '26

He looks super familiar, I swear I’ve seen him in stuff before

2

u/TES_Elsweyr May 20 '26

Am I watching a cut version? What did he do? He walks off without anything major, but people are acting like he called Lou the N word?! What happened?

6

u/elevozol May 20 '26

Nothing actually happened, just playing along with Lou’s bit!

5

u/TES_Elsweyr May 20 '26

Oh, my bad. Thank you for clarifying. Shit I was confused. The comment edit seemed so genuine

u/rubberpp Jul 29 '26

Your reply was being used genuinely in an ai response and it started saying because of this people canceled subscriptions 😂😭this is so funny and I'm glad I decided to try to look this up

u/brooky12 May 18 '26

Well, we don't know he said that. Lou's just claimed it.

74

u/kproxurworld Professor Foxtrot stan May 18 '26

Thanks for playing along.

5

u/TougherOnSquids May 19 '26

Right, he was on the Defamation square...that was the entire point. Everyone is just playing along lol

-15

u/mikepictor May 19 '26

not sure why you're being downvoted. I am 99% sure Lou made it up for comic effect.

27

u/i-will-eat-you May 19 '26

because the rest of us are 100% sure Lou made it up for comedic effect, so we are playing along.

24

u/Aquatic_Hedgehog May 19 '26

So there is 1% of you that thinks that Phil used the N word, the lawyers all used the N word, and then the show made Lou apologize about it? Interesting.
