Logan Paul’s proven time and again that not only can he take a nutshot (or 10), but that he’s stupid enough to do just about anything, whether that be blatantly disrespecting an entire culture or giddily filming the time he stumbled upon a suicide victim while wearing a Yoda hat. Despite making a documentary that will…
Welcome to Development Hell, the fiery pit into which we fling recent developments in casting, distribution, and everything else that’s new and mildly interesting in the Boschian phantasmagoria of the entertainment industry.
The Paul brothers, YouTube stars Jake and Logan, have been among the worst people on the internet for some time now. There are, however, lots of awful people on the internet, from burger chains to honest-to-god Nazis to Mike Huckabee to the president. How, in the face of such Darwinian competition, can the Pauls stay…
As with any social media platform that sticks around for too long, the content on YouTube has become more and more homogenous over the years. Not only does it seem like the same kinds of videos dominate the trending list week-to-week, but, now, even the thumbnails advertising those videos have become creepily…
In a cautionary display of the ripple effects of schadenfreude, Logan Paul, the YouTube personality whose risible behavior has made him an honest-to-goodness celebrity, is making headlines again. Perhaps that’s a good thing, as parents should probably be aware of the content of the YouTube videos their kids obsess…
Every year on Earth is a miracle. The days grow short in autumn, plants and animals retreating from the freeze of winter. The spring and summer bring renewed life, but only for a few short months before the process begins again. It’s routine, but wondrous—the circle of life played out in macro scale.
After releasing a uniquely tasteless “moment in YouTube history” in which he glibly uncovered a suicide victim in a country beset by high rates of suicide, unremarkable but, sadly, famous bro Logan Paul has now fashioned himself a suicide prevention advocate. Sure, this might have something to do with the ensuing…
From a certain point of view, Jake and Logan Paul are the embodiment of everything wrong with the “internet generation.” They’re obsessed with their own celebrity, they seem to lack empathy for their fellow human beings, and despite these facts, or maybe because of them, they’re incredibly rich. It’s no wonder the…
After a week of debating whether to break things off with Logan Paul, one of its most popular professional ball-smackers/content providers, YouTube announced today that it’s formally cutting ties with the popular vlogger and former Vine star. The news comes not long after Paul brought the ire of the internet down on…
One of the more distressing things about the rise of YouTube star Logan Paul—who recently brought international ire down on himself with a video showing him and his buddies bro-ing around with what appears to be an actual human corpse—is that there’s functionally two of him. Beyond his own brand of “maverick”…
YouTube star Logan Paul pushed his “no such thing as bad publicity” policy to its breaking point this week, facing widespread condemnation for failing to understand that viewers might not enjoy his efforts to apply his usual brand of Jackass-lite viral nonsense to a real-world site known for traditionally high…
Lending new weight to the term “ugly American,” popular vlogger Logan Paul recently posted video of an apparent suicide victim in Japan’s Aokigahara forest to his YouTube channel. It was part of a travelogue series he seems to be doing while in Japan, where he’s also played Pokémon Go and pretended to be kicked out of…
