the world you grew up in no longer exists - it never did Paul Platt 2025-07-24 | "unpopular opinion: we really grew up in the best era to be a kid and the worst generation to be an adult." - a tweet, which did not specify which era they were talking about, that garnered 250k likes.Today we're talking about nostalgia, rosy retrospection, and the subjective nature of the human experience.We're all getting older, which is tough, but it sure beats the alternative.Check out Paul Fairie's stuff: https://x.com/paulisci/status/1573766766723215360My links:Instagram: instagram.com/pauleplattDiscord: discord.gg/pUBrJ7ZHPAPatreon: patreon.com/c/PaulPlattWebsite: paulplattcomedy.com00:00 Intro02:25 Act I: The Past08:08 Act II: The Present16:03 Act III: The Future21:19 Act IV: The End Is Here
the tiktok cheating epidemic is out of control (and worse than you think) Paul Platt 2025-10-13 | What's the difference between content, advertising, and lying? And what happens when companies find a way to exploit the intersection of the three? Today we're talking about ads that aren't ads: Cheaterbuster, Invisawear, Rainbet - and how companies are hijacking our feeds.My links:Patreon: patreon.com/c/PaulPlattInstagram: instagram.com/pauleplattDiscord: discord.gg/pUBrJ7ZHPAWebsite: paulplattcomedy.com
the best part of pop culture is gone forever Paul Platt 2025-09-21 | In 1983 for two and a half hours half of the country was watching the exact same thing. It'll never happen again; and we won't even come close.Today we're talking about art, entertainment, and the connective, collective fabric that ties us all together.An alternative title was: "How I stopped worrying and learned to love (or at least appreciate) Taylor Swift" but I know you guys wouldn't have clicked on that -My links:Patreon: patreon.com/c/PaulPlattInstagram: instagram.com/pauleplattDiscord: discord.gg/pUBrJ7ZHPAWebsite: paulplattcomedy.comGymnopedie No 1 by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
the real problem with AI Art isnt what you think Paul Platt 2025-08-25 | Something terrible happened to me recently; I stumbled across an AI video that I didn't hate... and it made me ask myself some questions about art, artificial intelligence, and what is it about human nature that compels us to create.My links:Instagram: instagram.com/pauleplattDiscord: discord.gg/pUBrJ7ZHPAPatreon: patreon.com/c/PaulPlattWebsite: paulplattcomedy.comGymnopedie No 1 by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
This Joke Wouldnt Stop Bombing - Heres Why I Kept Doing It Paul Platt 2025-06-22 | America's Least Famous Comedian is back explaining the story of how one of the most confusing bits I ever tried ended up becoming, a normal, useful joke. There's so much standup content out there, but so little that's actually concerned with the process of creating something. I wanted to explain a little of how I end up finding a joke, and to talk about the creative process in general.My links:Instagram: instagram.com/pauleplattDiscord: discord.gg/pUBrJ7ZHPAPatreon: patreon.com/c/PaulPlattWebsite: paulplattcomedy.com

is reddit advice fake? the ones I wrote sure were Paul Platt 2025-05-11 | Am I (23m) the A for making clickbait to get you to watch this video?

I also think they're just interesting and maybe even important...My links:Patreon: patreon.com/c/PaulPlattInstagram: instagram.com/pauleplattDiscord: discord.gg/pUBrJ7ZHPAWebsite: paulplattcomedy.com
the biggest movie of the year is terrible - and maybe thats okay Paul Platt 2025-04-19 | What makes a movie good? Quality? Company? Intent? It's more complicated than you might think at first. A Minecraft movie is a challenging film for me to get a grasp on.A Minecraft Movie is an interesting movie to explore because so much of the discussion around it has almost nothing to do with the movie itself, it's about the context it exists within.My links:Instagram: instagram.com/pauleplattDiscord: discord.gg/pUBrJ7ZHPAWebsite: paulplattcomedy.com
everyone is making money off the gender war (except you) Paul Platt 2025-04-10 | Does height matter? Should you split the bill? Should everyone shut up?

Gen Zs obsession with irony is reaching a boiling point Paul Platt 2025-03-25 | MDFoodieBoyz and Talking Talk Tuah are fun, but they're also emblematic of how in internet culture everything is ironic: we can't just spend all of our time pretending like bad things are good. It's influencing culture. Irony won't save you.My links:Discord: discord.gg/JpmWR8JXInstagram: instagram.com/pauleplattWebsite: paulplattcomedy.com
Why Crowdwork Took Over Standup: Americas Least Famous Comedian Explains Paul Platt 2025-03-08 | Every show I go to it seems like half the comedians are just doing crowd work, and because they're not paying attention they end up doing crowd work with the same people. We're going to talk about how TikTok and short form video has changed the standup comedy landscape, and how crowd work is much easier than people think.Instagram: instagram.com/pauleplattWebsite: http://paulplattcomedy.com
How Two Roommates Made The Best Show Not On TV Paul Platt 2025-02-27 | Are Kyle and Veronika dating? Are they not? What's real and what's not? The will-they-won't-they is back thanks to Veronika Slowikowska and Kyle Chase: two of the most exciting creators on Tiktok. It's like a short form sitcom.Telling long form stories is really hard to do on the internet, and I'm really intrigued and excited about the level of interest these two have generated. Also I know I pronounced Veronika's last name wrong, I'm sorry.

Why is it so hard capturing Gen-Z on screen? Paul Platt 2024-11-15 | Why is it so hard to capture an authentic 2024 high school experience on camera? Why does every TV show or movie feel like it's in a faux 2000's version of high school?How the digital age reshaped relationships, why that's hard to depict on screen, and left Gen-Z out of the high school canon.----------Also, I don't know if all my references are up to date.
