Talk:The Great Satan at Large ("Israel666" Episode)/@comment-44673378-20191216180235

There are so many misconceptions about this show. No it's not lost, it took me about two minutes of searching to find the entire thing, and I have it downloaded for safe keeping. Second, this is not creepypasta material, nor is it even remotely "creepy" in the horror sense. I'd even go as far to say as with a few things removed it would be pretty acceptable by todays standards. The only thing off putting about the show was the sexualization and exploitation of a woman who was paraded around and groped, but she was clearly not uncomfortable and would laugh along with the other characters. That and the strong racist, homophobic and transphobic slurs. It's honestly not easy to tell if there was ever a single moment of the program that was meant to be taken seriously, I got the impression that the entire show was tounge-in-cheek.

And this whole "possibly snuff films" line is silly. It's irritating that every single thing that isn't a generic family friendly stock image has to be interpreted as some creepy mystery for a lot of people. I know that some of the clips were from old films and videos from an obscure director named "Richard Kern". I've even heard that there was nude footage of underage women featured. I paid close attention to the clips in the background, and I don't claim to know the age of every single woman but I don't think this is true either. As far as "Israel666" (which some old obscure sources I found spelled it "666Israel") that's a whole other thing I don't know much about, it seems to all be hearsay.

Overall, I thought it was pretty funny and chill, apart from a few moments which haven't aged well. It's unfortunate this had to happen when it did. If this had just been streamed online much later, I think it could have gained a cult following.
