I really can't believe how anyone (!) can take Owen Cook aka. Tyler aka. TylerDurden from RSD aka. Real Social Dynamics seriously. Here are some highlights from the video I mentioned recently. This guy is so absurd that he deserves a prize for being the creepiest guy on the Internet.
I know, my mom told me to not mock fun at people but, honestly, in the case of Owen Cook probably even Gandhi, Mother Theresa, and Jesus himself would have made an exception.
Look at him in all his glory:
Tyler knows Kung Fu.
He can even fight while holding his phone.
Simulating how you would penetrate your phone with your fingers.
I think he is talking about 9/11.
Greeting some one from very far.
Making the "wanker" gesture,
Everything is easy, Tyler.
That's him in a club. Too bad nobody told him that grabbing a girl by the shoulder is just odd.
Jeepers! The police is coming after him.
Fondling imaginary breasts.
Yeah, got it!
Seriously, WTF!? This must be the "claw" Ozzie always talks about.
Toodledo!
Watch out!
Staring at some girl's cleavage.
Come closer, baby!
Shoot! He got slapped.
But that's fine. Tyler can laugh about everything. Probably even himself.
Aw, now he has cr*pped his pants.
...which really pisses him off. Mommy!!
F*ck! She's in Canada and I'm in LA. What do I do now!?
I know, I act as if I am an 80 year old senile, which makes it perfectly fine!
See, no problemo!
Hahaha, I'm so smart!
See, I'm even smarter and better looking than Golum.
If this isn't blue screen then I don't know what is! Everything is sharp except Tyler (no pun intended; oh, wait...).
Praising himself.
Just look at the way he is touching her. That's totally creepy.
"Yeah, Sleazy, maybe you are right and I am a dork."
"But please don't tell anyone. Promise?"
"Really, Sleazy, from now on I'll try to be 'normal'".
"What, you don't believe me? Sleazy, you are really starting to p*ss me off!!!"
"Sh*t, I've lost the plot again."
Honestly, Tyler reminds me of a certain vicar I used to know.
OK, glasses, receding hairline, double chin, superman cape, what else do you need to pick up girls!?
Uncle Tyler wants you to join RSDNation!
Or else!!
Or else!!!!!!
No, don't worry about him.
"Hahahahaha!"
Sh*t, he's hit himself.
Sucks to be you, Tyler.
Yeah, I know, but I can't change it.
Again, blue screen or I'll eat my hat.
It looks funnier this way, though.
Tyler mimicking a 12 year old girl.
Don't be pissed at me, Tyler. I'm just playing.
Now where are the cakes to throw at him?
Hahahaha! (holding camera)
Conducting an orchestra with his left hand while texting.
Sucking some imaginary c*ck.
Yeah, we got you, Tyler. You're da man!
I don't worry about Real Social Dynamics anymore. Once they go out of business, Tyler will storm the stages of Las Vegas. This guy is a first rate comedian. Too bad he's working in the wrong industry.
I’ve been very busy recently, and have hardly kept up with the nonsense in the pickup scene. I believe that the market is shrinking and that the fad will be over in a few years, but this shouldn’t stop us to have some more cheap laughs at those guys.
Among the emails I have recently received was one by JuiceTerry in mid-September (yes, I have been really busy). He wrote:
The first ever infield footage of Tyler Durden emerged last week. As you can imagine, it's not exactly overwhelming or awe-inspiring.
Needless to say, this piqued my intrigue quite a bit, and I couldn’t resist watching the clip. Voilá!
It certainly wasn’t impressed nor entertained, but it was one of the most bizarre videos I have watched in quite a while. Here’s a short “laundry list of ridicule”, as RSD’s Tim would probably call it:
0) Is it just me or does the video look like blue screen, i.e. he only got copied into a street scene? 1) Tyler’s intonation 2) “Ha!” 3) Hair loss 4) No clue of style 5) Haggard frame (What happened to “I’m-gonna-be-buff-4-life-Tyler”?) 6) “Hahahaha!” 7) “The shy girl. Ha!” 8) “Hahahaha.” 9) By 1:18 I was already annoyed beyond belief.
…and the actual in-field video has not even started. Oh, and by the way, even 16 year-old girls make fun of Real Social Dynamics nowadays:
…and they are getting more views than Tyler too.
Some people still don't get it, though. For instance, one comment to the Tyler video on Youtube was:
"tyler durden and mystery are people we should all look up to! both got their shit down, if this was taught in class, crime rate would be 50% lower, eeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssssillly yyy."
And another:
IMO he was faking AFC body language by nervously fiddling with objects in order to make himself seem more accessible
Recently blog reader "neparlepas" made me aware of two new videos by OGFurious, whom I have mentioned in my post Putting the Fun back into Pickup. The first one is just more comedy gold, but it'll not comment on it. Just watch it and laugh, or tell me that I'm childish if I find this stuff funny.
The second one strikes a much more serious tone and beautifully describes the problems with "technique-driven game". It's not news to anyone who has followed my blog or other writings, but it's a nice summary regardless:
