I find it unfathomable and astounding that Tumblr isn't more obsessed with Sam Reich. You're telling me there exists out there a man who was born into the aristocracy of our country—with every privilege of modern society at his fingertips—who didn't complete high school (due to his mental health) and instead chose to devote his life to making strangers laugh and raising awareness on mental health. A full-bearded short king who is so committed to being the change he wants to see in the world that he decided to take the company he worked for into his own hands so that he could make sure all the people who worked under him could keep their livelihoods.
How many other CEOs are out here being as honest and transparent with their target audience/market as Sam Reich is? How many of them acknowledge when they fumble and continuously strive to be better than they were? How many of them actually seem like they respect their talent, both in the cast and crew? Sam Reich is the standard we should be holding other CEOs to.
But forget about all that (I could talk for a long time about the respect I have for Sam Reich)—ignore just how respectable he is as a businessman and a person. Ignore all the wholesome reasons for obsessing over Sam Dalton Reich.
The man is a stone-cold fox.
He's a little chaos gremlin and an absolute evil mastermind all rolled into one classy suit and well-groomed beard. Whenever Sam is on the set, you can guarantee he is going to make you crack a smile. And for someone with such natural authority, he's never afraid to be the butt of a joke and show himself being embarrassed. Go ahead, watch any clip of him trying to improvise in No Laugh Newsroom and just try to resist that blush.
You're sleeping on a goldmine of a man, here, damnit! And I will NOT let this go ignored any longer!
I cannot fully put into words how safe dropout.tv is for trans people. Not only is like a place where queer people can watch content without having to brace ourselves for a poor-taste joke about us, but it is chockablock queer commie comedians who feel comfortable enough to truly speak their minds. They put real effort into gendering everyone correctly, into respecting identities and defending their cast and crew against people who don't.
they even did a harry potter parody ttrpg show where they made a point to say "fuck jk rowling" and spent most of the show pointing out the logical fallacies in hp.
they made a whole series about student debt and what started out as a comedy became an art piece about our broken system and friendship
Sam Reich took a content mill and turned it into an network of artists doing really good comedy in an environment that is NOT toxic. absolute goat
