>>128125971I wonder if you guys feel the same way but I always felt like Stamper symbolized early Internet culture in its vulgarity and comedy. There was never an ounce of malice, prejudice, and bigotry in it despite using language and imagery that would offend most people. And not only that, he was just the best at doing it. Of all the dumb random shit that was made back then, his stuff still holds up because it never depended on making fun of topical shit like Harry Potter or The Matrix. Battleblock Theatre will still be funny 20 years from now. If Street Fighter is still around in 20 years it Skeet Fighter will still be fucking as horrific and funny as it was when it came out. Fat Refund.
I just can't think of someone who did it better than him, both in the content creation and just the way he talked on the Sleepycast. Zach had tonnes of moments that surpassed Stamper but unlike Stamper Zach's animations fucking sucked. I just don't like Smiling Friends, it is awkwardly shitty just like pretty much everything else on Adult Swim.
I'm talking as if Stamper is dead but let's face it, he's not coming back from this. He had the support most abused people don't have and he essentially spat in his friends' faces. There's only so much shit friends can take before they throw in the towel. You read his tweets and it's just the voice of a junkie who celebrates every small piece of charity a passerby sends his way whether it be a cigarette or a ride somewhere or a sandwich because he's been so deprived of kindness thanks to how destructive he's been he's cherishing every meaningless kindness visited upon him by strangers at gas stations. Christ he's even wearing a wife beater in that picture.
