Deprived of Libs to Dunk On, Nazis Turn Against the Costco Guys
Zero out of five booms for this
The Poolish is a comedy news and current affairs newsletter by S Peter Davis. My main newsletter Plato Was a Dick is free to read.
If you’ve never heard of the Costco Guys, which I think is their official troupe name, then you might want to stop reading now lest your future self five minutes from now may live to bitterly envy your present. If your curiosity outweighs your dread, however: “A.J. and Big Justice” are a father and son TikTok duo who rate fast food according to a dubious “boom” meter and, as far as I can tell, are not officcially affiliated with Costco.
It’s not my thing but, look, I don’t hate them. TikTok’s creator rewards program pays these guys like a trillion dollars to say “double chonk chonklate cooookie” again and again because it’s like crack cocaine to a certain demographic, it’ll burn out in three months, and the proceeds are going to more than pay for Big Justice and the Rizzler’s future therapy.
But, in parallel to the rise of comparatively harmless TikTok content, trouble is brewing over on the Klan Konvention formerly known as Twitter. Since the election went overwhelminglyin the new owner’s favour, every user to the left of Pinochet has fled to greener pastures such as Bluesky, Threads, or Outside Their House, leaving the trolls with precious few libs to own.
Twitter or X or whatever we’re supposed to call it is now largely just the overflow bucket of Gab where the most compelling content is internet backwash content like Nate Silver trying feebly to get Taylor Lorenz to dox herself for some reason.
But also there’s a bunch of shit streaming over there in stark defiance of Geneva Convention Article 3 like two of the worst Richards in history discussing the Costco Guys in the context of Friedrich Nietzsche’s untermensch, in the Naziest possible interpretation of the concept.
Richard “No longer a Nazi” Hanania joins his former protege, Richard “Heil Trump Heil Victory” Spencer in the only type of discussion left for these people at what truly is their End of History. Try not to beg for death as you watch Hanania cackle like a lithium overdosing dipshit at Spencer’s Double Chomk Chomplcate Chomp Coookie tirade about the degenerate subhumanity of the Rizzler.
As I said, I’ve always been basically neutral about the Costco Guys but if there’s anything that could drag me all the way over to their team it’s feeling my philosophy degree violently fighting its way out of my body as the arguably worst Richard accuses A.J. and Big Justice of being Jews.
Also it seems they somehow pranked this relatively harmless father and son team into reading out a white supremacy coded script for shits and giggles? I have no idea what’s going on here but the Richards are pretty fuckin’ Five Booms giggled about it.
Anyway, if all this seems pretty depressing let me leave you with a palate cleanser. There’s no bandwidth limit here to feel free to watch this video as many times as it takes to bring the happy back.
Did Hanania talk the way he writes, with a crayon? Or was he just eating the crayons instead?
