The way I read the title and was expecting an article about streaming services only to be immediately smacked in the face by the most cursed collage of men in “entertainment” imaginable…nasty work Whitney!!

I thought you were using hyperbole for emphasis when you mentioned roaches crawling on asmongross. Imagine my shock when I googled it.

This reminds me of how I was telling my cousins a story about how a white woman weaponized her whiteness and my little cousin said that was “snow bunny mind manipulation” and I immediately knew he’d been watching “Dr.” Umar. After I stopped cackling, I had to put my Big Cousin cap on and talk to him about how that man is actually a menace to society, despite being unintentionally funny every once in a while.

Dr. Umar in particular has become so popular with kids and I really don't understand how. He must be going on these streams because I hear his terminology everywhere now.

I wonder if it’s how memeable he is and how easy it is to take the inadvertently funny things he says out of context for a viral clip. He reminds me of Azealia Banks in that way. Just two broken clocks yapping.

I think that's definitely it. Both of them are endlessly quotable (even to their personal detriment).
