What was the biggest challenge in getting it made?

“Well, Trevor died,” Brown says.

What the fuck even is that question?

They make jokes about it all the time. Trevor would approve, it was their style.

I didn't doubt that for a second. I just think it's a stupid question. Unless, are you suggesting that the question was intentionally stupid?

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Possibly. They may have known how they handle that stuff and asked it that way on purpose.

They poked fun at themselves for it in the article so probably it was a flub

a question that inelegantly ignores the elephant in the room

This is a pretty common production question. It triggers conversation around high and low points. It has been coopted for interviews, which was a terrible idea.

GFYDL and RIP Trevor. I still miss Newsboyz and would have loved to hear his takes on the queen dying, the AI craze... Ugh.

[–] astrsk@kbin.run 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

GFYDL indeed. If Trevor were still here he'd kick his own ass for dying. RIP to a real one.

Can you imagine the hours of genAI boinga reviews? We lost so much comedy. One of the hardest celeb deaths for me and I'm not even sure why really. Watching the stream that night and waking up to the news was just... awful.

RIP local sexpot!

Can't wait to simultaneously laugh my ass off and be sad at the same time while watching this.
