I was introduced to Jason Genova a couple of years ago and he's been an endless source of lols, the wiki dedicated to him is excellent, the cliff notes take a couple hours to read but always cripple me with laughter.

"His self aggrandizing delusions are an exaggerated apex representation of modern society in the social media/selfie generation as a whole (or maybe humans have always been this way but modernity has exposed this fact, I don't know!): Everyone thinks far too highly of themselves. But this is especially pronounced among those who should be least likely to overestimate themselves and have evidence to the contrary staring them in the face. It culminates with Genova, a man with practically zero discernable positive or extraordinary features and a seemingly endless list of negative traints, and yet he believes himself to be a virtuous saint who's excellence has propelled him to celebrity status. It's fascinating watching the cognitive dissonance occur in real time; he's incapable of reconciling obvious external feedback with a hyper-inflated inner perception of his practical godliness.
I fell off with Genova and the misfits for a few months, but I began following again after Janoy said he liked Coath PJ more than Coath Adam and confessed in private when he didn't know he was being filmed that he didn't like Coath Adam very much. This is especially profound because Adam was literally the only one who got Genova measurably closer to the god-like figure he perceives himself to already be. But the stern manner in which Adam acted as a literal father figure and coach demanded that Jason defer and submit somewhat to his authority. This threatened Jason's internal perception and ego; and this No Es Livin La Vida Genova.
You can more or less generalize Genova's behavior and self-perception to most human beings to a MUCH lesser extent and it sometimes offers insightful explanations for their (our?) behavior which are logically and philosophically consistent.
The next time you think you're special in some way or good at something or even above average, remember that Jason Genova thinks he's a good bodybuilder. Maybe you suck." --FitMisc user PublixBagboy
