I only found out about Perry in the last year so I don't really know much about the community but I'm surprised that Tom's discord degeneracy is what's killing the show and not the multiple hot mic slips of Tom faking things by telling Perry how to react or his literal word for word response like in the most recent clip.
The short answer is that PCL paypigs will sit through any old shit while they wait to hear their paid comment reacted to, and CumB regards this as a success because he doesn’t think about much more than the giant jar of jizz he’s scooping mouthfuls out of like Winnie the Pooh.
The long answer is that I think longtime fans understand that The Perry Project has always had smoke and mirrors in beats you wouldn’t necessarily be paying attention to, along with genuine spontaneity where it
surely would seem to require contrivance for a particular joke to work (Tons of JQA segments from the Big 3 episodes either fell flat or had the literal scripts abandoned mid-call so they could resume hammering whatever topic Perry was butthurt about that week) .
At the end of the day, Perry believes he possesses talent as an actor; and is honest-to-Javaho attempting to portray a flanderized version of himself as a character in the way that someone with Down Syndrome might try to imitate another kind of retard.
So you end up with “bits” that Perry tries to play into before ultimately missing the target so hard that he ends up burying whatever the initial payoff was supposed to be (oftentimes with something more humiliating or outrageous - Mole Play segments are full of these). Don and Tony were able to build a machine out of that process because they understand comedy - Whereas CumB has spent his whole life alienating women through the forced topic of
insisting he understands comedy. CumB
truly epitomizes the stereotype of the bottomfeeding, failed comedian and “player” trying to bag the slampigs his funnier friends attract, while pretending he’s above his own behavior. That and his fucking
revolting pimp attitude toward his cash-generating lolcow and fanbase he stole makes him totally unfit and unlikely to remain a platonic stepdad. As many have said, the creep’s never passed a vibe check in his life.
But now that CumB’s finally made something of himself by resorting to riding the coattails of a retard whose only marketable talent is being a despicable person, he finally has a platform to prove to the world that he’s been criminally overlooked and underrated as a comedy aficionado for his entire adult life. And his
unrelenting backseat-driving and greediness in dictating a recreation of how a “perfect” Perry moment plays out in his jizz-deformed head on PCL has sadly proven to be something paypigs are simply willing to sit through while they wait to see how Perry reacts to their brilliant $10 comment about how he screws men.
That’s part of why CumB is so desperate to control how the PCL audience perceives him: he knows his own ideas aren’t up to the standards of his own inferior version of a format he stole; so he uses executive privilege to lower the bar and delegate production positions to any sycophants he can vet as
definitely being less-attractive and -creative than his own idealized image of himself.
What’s more pathetic is that everyone now
knows he can’t live up to that image; because he’s begun devoting time and
other people’s money to policing the preservation of that image: “I am
so above caring whether people think I have a felching fetish that I’m willing to go broke punishing people for suggesting that I do after I was documented bragging about it as part of my foolproof strategy for seducing toothless ugamug PCL fans in a chatroom.”
So, for as much as CumB drags the show down, all he has to do is raise the price of entry for his sideshow in which it’s an open secret that he’s the biggest freak of all (in severity
and corpulence).
