Have there been any genuinely good works produced by lolcows? -

"Genuinely good" in this sense means "enjoyable on more than a non-ironic level," or "not total shit."

For me, some of Moleman's rap battles were decent. I especially like his "Animaniacs vs. Ed Edd 'n' Eddy one."

Conner's honestly not that bad of a writer if he would actually write something.

There was a period of time when Andrew Dobson actually showed promise as an artist.

It depends on what you consider "genuinely good" and who you consider a cow, but I can think of plenty of examples.

• Spoony, when he actually does shit, has made lots of legitimately and non-ironically entertaining content. Like his Ultimate Retrospective and Final Fantasy reviews. I even liked his FFXIII review, and that was made well into his cow phase.
• Razörfist makes videos I enjoy to this day, and he's a Trumptard who got caught jacking if on the Internet whose favorite wrestler is Kane. He's also best friends with Vince Russo. @CatParty can fill you in on more there since he spent several years wrestling under the name "Tazz."
• I'm not sure if he's a cow or too much of a cuck to count, but I still like Todd Munson's music reviews. Even though his support for Nyberg is so despicable I wouldn't stop my car if I saw him on the street.

PurpleKecleon's artwork was genuinely very good before it went to magenta furfreak hell.

Anthony Cumia in his prime and when his life wasn't going down the shitter or when politics and race talk didn't consume him was really funny and quick witted on the radio. He had a lot of talent and could do some very funny impressions. Now he's just an angry bitter old man and a lot of the fun and passion is gone.

Not gonna lie, I genuinely enjoy like 95% of what icycalm writes on a cerebral level, and consider some of it to be unparalleled masterpiece tier. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna eviscerate and laugh at him regardless, but I have to tip my hat off to the guy, y'know?

Literally everything the Herkster produces is solid gold.

Sonichu is Pulitzer Prize-worthy material.

Nah, in all seriousness, it's entirely possible for someone to be a complete lolcow and yet produce quality work; remember, the key defining feature of a lolcow is how they react to things, not whether or not they're good at writing/drawing/etc.

 

[Tismo]

Sonichu is a classic masterpiece for the ironic humor connoisseur.

Spoiler: semi-serious and autistic answer

I actually do see Sonichu as a very fascinating tale due to the way it reflects on a troubled autistic author, and his mental state that has been deteriorating due to neglect and hardships from the internet, presenting themselves as the shittiest drawings of an 8 year old posing as a 30 years old man. The way the story changes thorough the many sagas of Chris is rather interesting, if not also morbid

but other than that Sonichu is pretty shit as it stands.

So why don't we have a thread on Frank Miller or, for that matter, John K?

Actually being a genius usually gets you out of the lolcow category even if you're otherwise a total lolcow.

Not to mention earning a meaningful amount of money for your work. Azealia Banks would've had a thread years ago otherwise.

Augustus Sol Invictus is a very skilled writer - The Black Pilgrimage is a surprisingly good read. I have yet to read his acid diaries, but I'm hoping his storytelling skills transfer over.

 

[SpessCaptain]

A few of youtube lolcows have made some hit videos like with "I'm a Banana" with Onionson.
Though I won't say it's a masterpiece.

 

[Overcast]

Didn't the guy who made Ren and Stimpy turn out to be a bit of a nut?

 

[HG 400]

Chloe Sagal and Rani Bakr make decent little indie games.

 

[AssRock]

John Kricfalusi? Yeah, he's a bit of a bitter manchild who thinks he's an animation god. Almost everyone who works with him ends up hating him for his attitude. Billy West is a good example; he used to rant about John K quite a bit back in the day.

People consider thunder_f00t a lolcow and I remember liking his videos.

i'm amazed there isn't a thread for the webcomic artist john campbell, given his rise and dramatic, precipitous fall on the internet, but i still think to this day that "pictures for sad children" is the best-written webcomic i have ever read.

he might be a literal madman, but he has a way of writing that sticks with me in a way that few other things have.
