Probably starcade was where he started dropping.

I don't know why but when he seemingly started getting more of a budget he also was getting less and less funny. Then again though, I didn't particularly dislike the Titanic one though, so it could just be the measure of this one + starcade as the previous.

I honestly think it's either how he's getting influenced by the others he's meeting in his community (sleepycabin crew, h3h3, etc) or possibly the case of creativity through constraints. He has more to work with and isn't as held back.

How much money does he spend with each video? Seriously, a restaurant, destroyed game systems, 2 American's worth of burgers, and a horse?

It's easy to up your budget when you're sponsoring something in every video.

>>
>>318082075
starcade wasn't funny

the set isn't funny

a lot of his videos in the last few years are things that everyone knows about already and they've lost that weird unexpectedness they used to have

i thought he was entertaining when he was ranty and angry but now he just makes weird noises

so yeah about 1 year ago

yeah you know what exactly since starcade started

This. This was the shark jumping moment of Jontron. The production values are killed the show.
I feel like if they made Jontron for TV, this is what I would see. Subscribe to Crunchyroll.

I think it's more the fact that you're just older than when he was posting things like Starfax Temperatures etc. His new stuff still made us laugh, but I do also realize it's different.

Literally this. I didn't even think about it because that's a good portion of why starcade is so damn unfunny. It's probably just the fact that so many new people are helping him instead of him working on it alone. You know the saying of a camel made by committee.

You're getting too jaded, Anon. Lie back and have a laugh, you silly goose.

>>318084517
It's not the production value, it's writing that's started to drop. It was noticeable when he came back after GG and had other people do the writing for the show.

>he doesn't at like an LOL SO RANDUMB XDDD

He still does though? You watch this episode at all? Between his fast food fetching slave and the random horse I have NO damn clue what you're taking about. The only real difference is that it seems like he has money now, and he's not using it to really improve his humor or jokes at all. Plus if you truly think that then he's producing stale as fuck humor. If I wanted adult humor and hilarity I have a thousand other comedians I could be cracking a laugh at.

It's just fucking sad to see Jontron left all that behind for this.
>>
>>318084740
I don't give a fuck if he makes money. He has ads on all of his videos and is presumably already paid by youtube. But shoving this shit directly into his content is compromising his opinion and makes it hard to believe anything he does isn't paid for.

>>
When did you realize that Jontron was obese?
>>
>>318084740
I don't need sets and actors for shitty jokes though. He's putting so much effort into these scenes for shitty jokes it really calls attention to just how unfunny it is. Stairfax Temperatures is classic Jontron.
>>
>>318085440
Yeah, I dont see him doing that at all except with Starcade. Starcade is more of a group effort than a Jontron thing. Who cares? He's trying new things and having fun along the way in addition to making some good money and living well. Cant say the same about most people around here.
>>
>>318085780
I'm not debating that, I'm just asking why a set is necessary at all.
I can't think of a single reason other than to make people ask why he's filming on a set.

You can do a lot more on a set than in your own house. Like have a small horse without the worry of getting dirt and horse shit in your house. There's probably different types of insurance you can only get if done on a set than in a house.
>>
>>318085987
Just because there's additional (not needed) production value, doesn't mean it's something he doesn't enjoy putting effort into. If he wants to spend money on sets and production value, then more power to him. I think people here imagine (in an autistic as fuck manner) that there's some sort of "attribute" pool with limited "points" that Jontron is sacrificing "funny" for "set pieces" and "production value"
