Winslow Dumaine & Jay Brandstetter

SomethingAwful.com is one of the foundational websites of modern internet culture: the earliest memes, inside jokes, and modes of communication that grace and plague the internet today can trace their roots back to the sprawling forums of this illustrious website.Hosted by Jay Brandstetter and Winslow Dumaine, this podcast dredges up the most notable threads from the depths of the forums. We delve into the absurd architecture of Groverhaus, explore the very beginning of 4Chan, the early days of

society & culture history

Goons Cancel Scott Cawthon By Accident (Part One)

I"M FROM THE INTERNET ·

2024/08/14

The children's horror game series Five Nights At Freddy's turns 10 years old this month, and what better way to celebrate than continuing this show's accidental running theme of game developers being shitty people? You might have heard that Scott Cawthon, the creator of Five Nights At Freddy's, is a Republican donor who stepped out of the public limelight when his political donations were brought to light. What you might not know is that the Something Awful forums were where these donations were

I"M FROM THE INTERNET ·

2024/08/08

Steve's on vacation so enjoy another freebie from the Patreon vault! We're talking about syndicated newspaper humor columnist Dave Barry and his early internet exploits. On the one hand, he's probably the reason I know about Mr T Ate My Balls. On the other hand, he's a Libertarian who got teased off of his own Usenet fan group for ranting about his computer being Jewish.Check out Producer Steve's new album at https://soundcloud.com/killhamster/sets/method-to-the-sadnessAnd his Defcon track:

2024/07/24

In 2008 it was a lot harder to covertly photograph your neighbor, but one Goon certainly went above and beyond in his quest to expose to neighbor's masturbation habits. We're joined by musician Erik Helwig, who has been delighting the internet for years as Hot Dad, so we get to have some fun shop talk about making comedy and music on the internet at the beginning.Hot Dad

Rib Kid Face Blindness (Minisode)

2024/07/17

How do you spin a podcast episode out of a funny picture of a young man eating some ribs? Well, first people have to think the Rib Kid is an ageless being who assassinated a coal executive and stormed the United States capitol on January 6th. Then you talk about face blindness and, baby, you've got a rib stew going!You can review this episode's document with sources at https://tinyurl.com/SARibKidPodDocFor inquiries, contact the show directly at IFTIpod@gmail.comBumper Music:KMFDM - MurderParadise

Winslow and Steve are back in the United States and we're working on a fresh batch of episodes, so here's an episode from behind the Patreon paywall.A Trekkie's Tale is a product of pre-internet fandom but whose protagonist Mary Sue is still invoked as an epithet online to this very day.

Magick Is Real (and Praxis)

I"M FROM THE INTERNET ·

2024/05/07

Magic is the art of illusion and sleight of hand. Magick (pronounced "muh-gick") is the term for discussing real world sorcery among those whose know The Art. Today's episode falls squarely in the latter, as we explore a short-lived thread dedicated to spellcasting and fortunetelling in the leftist shitposting subforum of C-SPAM. What qualifications do we have in the world of metaphysics? Well, Winslow makes tarot decks and Jay read The Dresden Files in college so we won't be summoning homunculi any

This episode is canon. When crowdfunding blew up in the early 2010s, it seemed like a new golden age of media was upon us: dormant franchises were given long-awaited spiritual successors and small creators were given resources to chase their dreams and make media that would never be greenlit by a studio. One of these early success stories was Barkley 2* and today we're going to talk about its creation and how Kickstarter allowed a humble Something Awful goon the opportunity to create The Greatest
