Sam Hyde

Sam Hyde is a cult-comedy figure associated with the comedy sketch troupe Million Dollar Extreme (MDE) [1], he is known for his unconventional comedy skits that often rely on awkwardness, discomfort, and embarrassment, and his involvement in the internet celebrity boxing scene.

Comedy

He has performed in or been related to a number of public pranks, in 2013 he hosted a TEDx talk titled 2070 Paradigm Shift[2] in which he claimed that in 2070 an explosion in births would lead to a milk shortage meaning a future earth government would require men and women to be genetically modified to lactate and be milked monthly and that the problem of the elderly and disabled will have been solved because they will all be killed.

He and the rest of MDE briefly had a show on the American comedy programming block Adult Swim, entitled Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace which ran for a single season before being mired in controversy after it was alleged that "the Adult Swim standards department repeatedly found coded racist messages in the show, including swastikas within the show," as well as its popularity within Alt-Right circles.[3] As a result of the controversy, Adult Swim did not renew the show for a second season.

Broadly his brand of comedy would be considered anti-humor, in that it often lacks traditional punchlines and sometimes derives comic value by presenting scenarios that are played straight within a premise that is absurd or subverts normal values, such as MDE's "Knife School" video [4] which subverts the premise of a self-defense instructional by encouraging viewers to adopt the role of an armed violent attacker, highlighting the advantage and utility provided by attacking someone with a knife.

Controversial Stances

While Hyde is undoubtedly funny, he is most likely an Anti-Semite.[5] Hyde attended a book burning of "Jewish Propaganda" and gave a speech to fellow book-burners.[6][7] He has also retweeted vaccine-skeptic/COVID-skeptic/Anti-Healthcare sentiment on numerous occasions.[8][9][10][11][12][13] He has endorsed January 6 and 2020 Election conspiracy theories.[14][15][16]

During the 2020 election night, he was on call with Nick Fuentes and signed off of the call with "Save Evrope, and, fuck it, MAGA."[17] He has also been seen doing the Nazi Salute with White-Nationalist hacktivist Weev.[18][19]

Hyde has also expressed support for the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory.[20]

Unfortunately, with figures like Sam Hyde, he is buried in thousands of layers of irony, and will always have a way to plausibly deny his true beliefs, as he can deflect infinitely to him being a comedian. As the poster this section of the article this was stolen from pointed out, videos like these are placed in a much different context when you stop to consider: what if this isn't entirely ironic or all a joke?

Boxing

He has a keen interest in Boxing, helping to train Harley Morenstein of Epic Meal Time for his participation and victory in the Creator Clash event organised by iDubbbz despite being banned from participation himself because iDubbbz dislikes him[21], he also trained FroggyFresh for the second Creator Clash event, however FroggyFresh was excluded from the event by iDubbbz over his association with Hyde, who in the year between events had publicly disrespected and insulted iDubbbz's wife.[22]

Eventually Hyde was signed by Happy Punch Productions, a boxing promotions company founded by youtubers KEEMSTAR and FouseyTUBE, who facilitated a match with Australian influencer iamthmpsn. Hyde adopted a heavily accented Irish persona named 'The Candyman' for his match, following his victory Hyde called out Hasan Piker, saying he wanted to kill him and wear his makeup.[23]
