Remember Maddox? He still makes himself known on occasion thankfully.

Same thought. Remember the hit your kids article? Perfect.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox 6 points 2 months ago

Remember? Maddox and whatever the X-ray blowjob dudes name was my high school. Hot wheels.

Five across the eyes?

Nostalgia hit, right in the gut!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I'll never forget the best way to kill yourself is by eating a bathtub full of beans.

[–] theangryseal 1 points 2 months ago

He has a YouTube channel these days.

I never got bored with him haha.

[–] gofsckyourself 52 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wooooow! I have not thought of Maddox in so long. This blows my mind.

[–] Dozzi92 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I'll never forget the Astro Glide story.

Judging kids artworks will forever be the funniest internet thing, at least in 2004 anyway.

[–] IHawkMike 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ding, ding! Here comes the shit-mobile!

[–] faceula 6 points 2 months ago

Hehehe. That's the hairiest fire engine I've ever seen!

[–] theangryseal 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

His wasn’t the Astro glide story, but he did link to that site on his page. I can’t remember that dude’s name though.

It was a great story.

[–] Dozzi92 6 points 2 months ago

Your memory is certainly better than mine. I'm happy enough to have drawn a link between the two. My visits to Maddox's site coincided with the beginnings of my experimentation phase, so I appreciate anything that made it out the other side.

Despite how we might perceive Maddox in the modern day, the site was such a good representation of what the Internet looked like then. That was what content looked like.

I always end up feeling nostalgic when I talk about it.

TUCKER MAX! Holy shit this has been driving me crazy. It just came to me out of nowhere. That’s who wrote it. I could be wrong but I don’t think so. The level of relief I feel makes me confident enough to make this comment before I go digging.

Edit:

I can’t find the story, but we both have a good memory because it’s clear he built his career from that one.

[–] Dozzi92 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Excellent fucking work, wow. This was like 2002-2003, around there, and so we're twp-plus decades back here. Keep doing whatever you're doing, it's working.

I'll edit too: I may have attributed some negativity to Maddox (although I think he was a self-proclaimed asshole), but Tucker Max is the one who for sure went a bit off the deep end, I recall he ended up writing a book. Pretty much just frat guy personified.

[–] Dkarma 3 points 2 months ago

He wrote 3 The sushi pants story is still my favorite but tucker max is a pile of shit

[–] theangryseal 2 points 2 months ago

I swear, I was standing outside having a smoke and bitching to my wife about how your comment was driving me insane. “Babe, I’m thinking it was Tucker, but all I can come up with is Tucker Carlson and, well, we both know that isn’t…MAX. It’s fucking TUCKER MAX!!! That’s it! I know that’s it!”

Haha, I swear I was going insane. It was on the tip of my tongue.

The relief I felt, oh my god!

Good lesson that money can’t buy decency, or class, or sex appeal, or brains … fix yourself first, jeez.

[–] Nuke_the_whales 33 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I used to have his book the alphabet of manliness. Whatever happened to the dude?

[–] FlyingSquid 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No idea. This is the first I've seen from him in a while. His Loose Change (the 9/11 conspiracy documentary) takedown is legendary.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oooh, never heard of that! Pls share? 🥹

[–] FlyingSquid 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Sure. I'm amazed it's still online and I didn't have to go to the Internet Archive!

But the spoons have barely melted at all….

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

His YouTube channel seems to be his main outlet nowadays.

[–] roguetrick 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

With your username, I can see that Maddox was formative to you.

[–] Nuke_the_whales 2 points 2 months ago

Was he a writer on the Simpsons?

[–] njm1314 1 points 2 months ago

I know I had it too but I can't remember it for the life of me. I certainly remember buying it, but I just can't remember what was in it. Can't even that good I guess.

[–] theangryseal 30 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I bought one of the Maddox tshirts back in the day. When I moved, someone broke into my house and stole my clothes.

I was at work a few weeks later when an old junkie came in wearing my Maddox tshirt. I said, “Cool shirt man.” He replied, “Well, I ain’t a communist, I just wear whatever I can get at the thrift store.” I replied, “You mean whatever you stole from my house, right? That isn’t a communist shirt, it’s a dude who writes comedy on the internet.”

He swore he didn’t steal it. Mine was the only one I ever seen.

[–] Fredselfish -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maddox is a chud who should be shut down. I used to watch him then found The Dick show with Dickmasterson. But he became such a MAGA fuck that I had to stop. But Maddox is a asshole who sued Dick for a billion dollars including a guy who made fun of him.

[–] theangryseal 2 points 2 months ago

Went further than “made fun of him”. They legit called on people to harass him and threaten his girlfriend with rape.

I guess it depends on where you get your info. We’ll see what happens eventually.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

On behalf of nearly everyone with a vagina, NO.

Please stop, thanks. Yikes.

[–] hate2bme 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It sucks that there are plenty of people with vagina's out there that disagree.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

They don't give out taste or dignity along with every vagina.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

The eyes veins are a bit over done but the rest of his face looks properly gross

[–] lennybird 12 points 2 months ago

Whole new meaning to, "Please clap."

From Jeb to Vance's donut shop stunt to Leon Musk... Those words are just so versatile in describing the desperation of the Right.

[–] Sam_Bass 11 points 2 months ago

Respond with a court order for a stalker

[–] Cornpop 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Holy crap some memories just came flooding back lol. That’s awesome he’s still around.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I was just thinking about his reviewing kids drawings yesterday and pulled up the website to see if he has anything I haven’t seen in the decade plus since I’ve visited and then I got distracted and didn’t even check. Seeing his name on this made me do a double take.
