A screenshot of a reddit comment exchange:

ms-paint-sonic: I got a ticket for going 20 miles under the speed limit yesterday :(

spyro-64: LMFAO you are SUCH an unhinged chaos gremlin and I am so here for it

ms-paint-sonic: please don't say shit like that to me

A Facebook post from Oakview Watch that says: ROADSIDE REBECCA SPOTTED WALKING ALONGSIDE RED LEAF ST. BE CAREFUL IF YOU ARE DRIVING TONIGHT

Comments:

Jake Jenkins: My big cousin almost hit her once. He is single and christian

Meryl Russel: How big is he

Meryl Russel: How big is your cousin

A reddit comment exchange:

depressedgokux200: you've been stood up DOZENS of times?

StraightCoded: yeah it's called putting yourself out there and getting rejected before you even get the chance to prove that you're worth being loved (cry laugh emoji)

ms-paint-sonic: do you need someone to talk to

StraightCoded: yes

A discord screenshot exchange:

lindsayissleepy: Ok but you have to move here first

lindsayissleepy: It's getting embarassing telling people that my best friend is from Canada

I got to narrate this! Working on dustin's stuff is so fun. he captures the patois of specific online subcultures so well, it feels like you're really seeing something from another world. check it out babey cause it rules

No one writes funny inane internet comments better than dustin Couch.

remember when there would be a guy on a nintendo forum who joined in Feb 2001 with 54k posts and a Dark Link sig and he would be mean to you for being new and you would desperately hope to one day be as cool as him but deep down you knew that you would always be marked with that Apr 2007 join date

dustin Couch @dustinkcouch.bsky.social · Jul 25

I'm sorry that you feel that way too! it's tough to explain to people who don't lurk in the communities, i feel like i made my friends feel like giant germ bags lol

i like season 2 but 3 and 4 are tough to get through but i'm not sure why. i think the dialogue is worse or something. lots of quips

dustin Couch @dustinkcouch.bsky.social · Jul 25

thanks! so far it's nothing bad, i feel like i normally would after getting a booster. like i couldn't run a marathon but i could watch a movie. i guess a couldn't run a marathon either way i've never tried.
