YMMV / Seanbaby

• Crosses the Line Twice: Plenty of examples.
  • From "4 Unintentionally Depressing Self-Help Books on Happiness"
  Instant Happy Notes: I think this situation calls for karaoke.
  Seanbaby: If the tiny enslaved children making these knew what they said, they'd know they deserved every second of everything.
  • His running commentary-via-closed-caption on $#!+ My Dad Says is just so twisted it's impossible not to laugh:
    Shatner is reading these lines like they're on a ransom note that didn't get to him until his kidnapped children were already killed.
    Archie Bunker spins in his whites-only graveyard every time William Shatner tries to make a racist joke.
    Everyone is delivering jokes like they're trying to get terminally sick children to stop smiling and accept their fate.
    I've seen better comedy from real doctors when they explain the abortion options to a pregnant Dane Cook groupie.
• Glurge: One article from his old website, "Temptation Beach vs. a Book About Retarded People", features the book Common Sense Not Needed by Corrie ten Boom. The book is about Corrie's experiences preaching Christianity to developmentally disabled people in Nazi-occupied Europe. In true Glurge fashion, those people are portrayed as paragons of wisdom for parroting the doctrine she preaches, including applying Jesus' message of love to the Nazis— the same Nazis known for killing thousands of disabled people just like the ones Corrie was preaching to. Naturally, Seanbaby is quick to point out that dealing with a genocidal dictator is generally not the proper time to trot out Jesus' "turn the other cheek" rhetoric. ^note Note that Corrie ten Boom was a Holocaust survivor and lost much of her family in the camps, so she really should have understood this better than most.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Sean's Alternative Character Interpretation in Super Friends has him portray The Riddler as an annoying jerk who isn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is, refuses to acknowledge that his compulsions always lead to defeat, and is regarded as an annoyance by his fellow villains. Sounds like the Riddler's characterization in the Batman: Arkham Series.
  • One Cracked article addresses the kind of nerd that thrives on smugly correcting people for minor mistakes, and posits that "when they die alone, they go to a hell where their mouth is taped shut for eternity next to people who keep saying that Carl Weathers was in Star Wars." As of The Mandalorian, Carl Weathers now really is in Star Wars.
  • Or Harsher in Hindsight, depending on how dark your sense of humor is. There's an old video clip out there of Seanbaby doing a comical celebrity impression and saying "It's all fun & games... Until somebody gets RAPED!" The celebrity in question was Bill Cosby, who was eventually accused of rape by over fifty different women.
• Moment of Awesome:
  • Seanbaby once scared Uwe Boll out of a boxing match after sending him his physicals and fight experience. Specifically letting Boll know that not only was Seanbaby younger, fitter, and experienced in boxing via Muay Thai, but also practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and that he's 6'3 (and just to egg him on, also adding in at the end "that a bunch of Holocaust survivors got together and agreed that [Boll] was the worst thing to ever come out of Germany."). He wasn't kidding. Possibly more importantly, according to Seanbaby he was multiple weight classes above Boll.^note Believable considering Seanbaby is 6'3 and muscular, while Uwe Boll is 5'8 with a regular build. We're talking a middleweight versus a heavyweight.
  • The main image on his website shows him posing with Mr. T.
  • And Sean's 100th-article retrospective has a shot of him having a beer with Uwe Boll! Seanbaby notes that Boll didn't even try to take a swing at him.
  • Any of his homemade fireworks articles, but especially his last one (to date), which ends by showing an old karate trophy that survived a pyrotechnic extravaganza that reduced everything else in it to smoldering ash:
    Third place my fucking ass.
  • His article on the best and worst things about Grand Theft Auto V frankly does an amazing job of succinctly explaining why the game's "satire" falls so utterly flat and, by extension, nails why so many "hilarious" people aren't nearly as funny as they think they are:
    "GTA attacks with no wit. And when you mock something without wit, you're just a cranky bully."
  • Pretty much anything he writes turns out to be one, with his poetically vulgar one-liners, so much so that he's been compared to William Shakespeare. One of his more notable ones was "I will replace your life with spiders." Yeah.
• Once Original, Now Common:
  • At least a few Cracked.com readers accused Sean of ripping off other writers on the site, even though Seanbaby has been funny on the internet since 1997, and many of those said writers openly cite him as their chief inspiration.
  • In his review of Renegade, he snarked that "there just weren't any other games involving guys walking around and fighting bad guys on the street." Renegade was pretty much the Trope Maker for the belt-scrolling Beat 'em Up, and at the time, there really weren't any other games like that.
• Squick:
  • In his article about living on a farm, he describes milking a cow as feeling like you're "squeezing hot snot out of a fat woman's flaccid penis."
  • One (unfortunately Patreon-only) entry for 1-900-HOTDOG's "Upsetting Day" has him take on the cookbook "Natural Harvest", which is filled with recipes that call for semen as a major ingredient. The article's comments unanimously agree that, no matter which way you might swing, the recipes are simply disgusting.
