"Those kind of guys, the dude bros, the jocks, the frat boys, not, not my kind of people. I mean, the stereotypes of them are just an embarrassment to straight people everywhere!"
ok i want to see you guys do an Archie Bunker podcast. When I was young, my dad and I did impersonate your favorite tv show character, and it just happened to be archie bunker. of course, i'm a 43 year old chick, and back then people had lp records, but it was my dads way of teaching me about racism without being preachy. i love your show...
I'm re-watching this video. I think this was the first Friday video I saw of this channel. I was very confused for a while about why a straight person was on 5awesomgays. Haha.
Man, you really bring it. Totally unexpected way to end the week, by subverting the whole thing and showing us what it's really about. Not making fun of straight people, but showing us that all stereotypes are stupid.
Tyler is gay, so are the rest of the 5awesomegays...they have theme weeks and this specific week was about pretending to be straight....least I believe that's what they were doing.
sometimes the minority needs to vent. when the majority "vents" it's not really the same. it's like a huge bodybuilder mocking a short scrawny kid. I'm not taking the victim stance, but many scared, lonly people do feel victimized and have no support networks. In conclusion, some fun of straight people is harmless. There's enough stereotypification of gays in the mainstream.
i'll be honest, when i first started watching this channel, i thought you were straight, just cuz you didn't look like a "typical gay guy". then after you talked for a while, that all flew out the window, lol :3
VIDEO IDEA: dinosaur week!! fashion week!! food week!! refridgerator week!! vampire week!! dance week!! PAjama week!! uhh,, yeah those are my great ideas that i would love to see!!
I think that if you look at this week as a whole, it makes an interesting point. Four stereotypes of straight males, and one straight male has to explain that it's not an accurate depiction of everyone who happens to be straight. That's a situation that doesn't happen often, because straight people aren't judged by the stereotypes of all other straight people. So it's an interesting look at what gay people go through constantly, in a reversed way.
topics: what would you do if you won a 20million lottery? plan out you first YEAR w all the money in the world. be serious. not silly. how would it change your life. take that aspect. : what is your idea of a beautiful commitment ceremony. : vegas. all things vegas. have you been. whens the next trip. do you gamble. best elvis?
Spring Cleaning Week! Take your murse, junk drawer, or car and clean it on cam and show us all the bizarre crap you've accumulated. It's much more fun than it sounds!
Kudos for acknowledging the respectability of straight men everywhere.
Also, Accent Week! Everyone has to do their whole video in a foreign accent. And at least one person needs to do Australian because I completely love it when people do our accent :D
lol generalization of most people is naturally offensive to the vast majority said generalized peoples. As most of them do not actually fit the mode of negativity that most people care to remember of other people.
HA I love it when everyone does he same thing and then one of you guys just slaps them in the face with something totally different! But staying positive!
I have loved these kind of "acting" weeks. I really think in the weeks to come you should have a theme where everyone picks either one of their favorite Youtubers and creates a video in the style of that person, or re-enacts a video that was already made (with permission) and us viewers can guess witch Youtuber, video the person is being! Then maybe the next day can have an annotation at the end of their video to the person of channel that the day before them did.
Nice job on today. I didn't really enjoy this week primarily because of the stereo types. Even though I'm gay I felt this week's creative efforts helped me to remember how I feel about being stereotyped more than anything else.
I would love it if you guys did a favorite movie week. I know you guys have talked about some of your favorites but never really in detail. Maybe Monday could list his top five romantic comedies, Tuesday his top five musicals, Wednesday his top five horror movies, etc. It would be great to learn about the five awesome gays' favorite films! :)
that was a very true and touching friday... wonderfully done. i think... i would be offended a little if straight people made fun of gay people to that extent and though they were just joking and waaay over doing it... when straight people do it, i hate it. i just think... yes its good to laugh at other eachother and things... but at this point the whole gay straight point is still to much of a touchy subject. maybe one day... but i dont feel its today. it would be to close to the truth i think.
I can't believe straight people are actually getting offended. Of course there are douche bags like the guys represented previously. You can't deny that.
