Howard Stern Reacts to Etika Reacting to Smash Ultimate. Etika Reacts.
- Thread starter Rocco
- Start date
This is kind of 'old man yelling at cloud', if only because Etika and Stern are both basically shock-jocks that like to do wild, over-the-top things for attention. The only difference is the format.
His jump to satellite killed his momentum but I gotta give the man credit for doing it 40+ years.
Does Etika laugh at misogyny the way Stern does? Don't know much about him.
On the one hand, he's right to criticize the "schtick" of Youtube personalities.
On the other hand, the Stern show has sucked since Artie left and Eric the Midget died. He's become the human equivalent of The Simpsons.

He did use triggered and SJW's when people complained about Xenoblade or Fire emblem, can't remember.
Bingo. Of course Stern is rich and set for life, a legend in his field, etc...but I think there is a tiny bit of jealousy when people like him see "youtubers."
He's obsessed with hentai. That's clearly different than real-world misogyny and sexism, but it also contributes to those issues in some way.
Well when I think of YouTube personalities overreacting, Etika comes to mind. His fans say he's always like this even off camera so maybe he has some sort of condition. Only say that since breaking your furniture and doing bodily harm when your excited isn't normal.
"Did he call the dragon the n word?"
- the above was a funny quote, the next statement is not in relation -
God damn Howard, roasting him, loved it
- changed a word because apparently people are super sensitive -

About what in particular? The character designs? Because the ones in Xenoblade are awful, IMO.
Hmm interesting. Thank you.
How come when there's criticism of any kind the responses are always "old man yells at cloud" or "jealousy"? Like god forbid childish overreaction is immune to being made fun of.
I was actually expecting Howard to really goof on the guy far more. I think Howard's just not as angry as he used to be. This was really tame.
No problem. I'm not saying he's a bad guy or anything, to be clear.
Not sure who he is or what kind of network he works for but I'm amazed that someone in the media could use impoverished North Korean citizens in a joke like that and keep their job.
Can you explain your response? Serious question. I don't get it. How did Stern "drag him" by making that comment?
The initial appeal was just in the shock nature of the show. But the reason it had longevity is really down to the conversations they'd have. Because that's really the best part of the show. Not when there are naked women on or weird stunts, but rather when they're just sitting around telling stories about one another. That and the news section because of the Jackie laugh (although you've got to have a dark sense of humor to enjoy that part).
I can't tell if you're doing a bit or not
Two separate comments, the quote was a funny observation and Howard did roast him good, but the second line wasn't a direct comment on the first
Can you explain this post and why you think Howard would possibly be jealous
Because Stern is the last person who should be casting stones about on-air personas and behavior. Glass houses and all that.
Stern can criticize Etika (or anyone else) all he wants. And at some level he's not wrong, Etika is ridiculous. That said...plenty of people have said the same about Stern during his career. They really aren't that different from each other.
Show went downhill when they got rid of Artie for trying to commit suicide. Artie vs Eric The "Actor" was some of the best radio.
Lol. He's so fucking old it's amazing. What's even worse is they basically do the same thing just in different ways.
I don't know about that. He crushed it during it both content and business wise the first part of his satellite run. He single handedly saved Sirius (they are going to be hurting when he leaves), and up until Artie left I thought the show was great. I haven't had Sirius in years, but I got it last year with a new car. I was surprised that Stern is more PC now (he is still not that PC overall). That said after a couple of months of having Sirius I don't really listen to him that much unless on a road trip.
Ok? But this is like his schtick. Like I haven't listened to Stern in like a decade and I don't really like his content that much but this is what he does.
Most of what Stern said was pretty tame. I didn't get an "old man yelling at the sky" vibe or anything resembling jealousy. He seemed curious enough to ask questions about it and crack a few jokes. Hell, Stern even mentions that they may be "schticking it up," which is probably true.
His celebrity interviews are really good. That's one of the main reason I listen to him. That and to see if Benjy is late again.
I've seen some of Etika's stuff before and I got the impression that he was intentionally hamming it up here.
