somehow manages to be unfunny, try hard bullshit AND lazy, manipulative schlock at the same time!
absolute fucking garbage
I have to write about this for college. Such a disturbing short story that details the fragility of human morality when faced with generation-spanning tradition and the pressures of societal alienation. Idk why Shane Dawson is on the cover but I wish he drew the black spot.
I’m a little horrified realizing that if I saw this in 2016, I would have loved it seeing as how I used to be a big Shane Dawson fan when I was in middle school until high school. I’m thankful I didn’t watch this in 2016 because I found it just like Shane’s other content, disgusting, manipulative and unfunny. As a dumb child, I likened Shane’s most extreme work to that of John Waters, something I virulently disagree with now. Watching “The Lottery” made me appreciate Waters’ shocking but oddly human and uproariously hilarious films even more than I already have, and it just reminded me how desperate Shane is to get a laugh. From the typical disgusting house, body…
Pre-conspiracy theory and Youtube Docuseries Shane Dawson feels like i’ve jumped two different timelines and an alternate reality before settling my eyes onto this cringefest.
(At least he isn’t doing blackface anymore. I guess.)
