Does anyone actually like Comic Book Men?

Postby Porcelain38 » Fri Mar 16, 2012 11:28 pm

This show is nothing more than just a giant wank-fest. It's atrocious.
This does nothing to defuse the stereotype that comic book fans are nothing more than a bunch of stereotypical losers and weirdos.

Do any comic book fans actually enjoy this show?

I like it. But I still think Kevin Smith is a tool. :smt005

That's because it's a stereotype for a reason.

I enjoy the bartering that goes on during the show, and that doll dude, he's hilarious.

I'm just waiting for Jude to grow a beard.

It's entertaining. But it's a show where four geeks chain their egos to the Kevin Smith gravy train. No one would care what these guys have to say were they not his friends. Except maybe Brian, the beard guy. He's a funny guy.

If I were ever to go to the Stash, I'd have to challenge those guys to some kinda trivia-off.

What's atrocious about it? They talk about comics, and buy comics and sell comics. That's what the show is about, of course it's gonna come across as a wank-fest

Never watched it. Its like watching QVC for their comic book deals, you keep on thinking no way will anyone pay for that, and then calls or in the shows case walks in 'stupid'.

I don't care for it. The only times I've ever watched it were because AMC put special previews for upcoming episodes of Walking Dead in it. But I feel as if I've identified the real life Dante and Randall.

I watch it but it makes me cringe when I see the people walk in thinking that they're going to get alot of money for their stuff, and then they get talked down to a fraction of it because they're desperate for money. I understand the store has to make a profit on the resale, but I just hate seeing collectors giving up their stuff while getting crushed. And I don't like the guy with the beard who takes humor in degrading the customers.

But I like to see the unique things that come in. I'm sure the producers somehow find these people and get them to come in with their stuff in return for being on tv. Like the guy who brought in a replica Adam West Batman cowl, or the guy who came with his television Batmobile (which is my Holy Grail if I ever won the lottery).

I like it. Yeah, it comes off as too staged at times, but otherwise it would just be four guys standing around doing nothing interesting all day.

That would be Brian. He only does that because he knows he's more pathetic than the people he degrades.
