If you like Erika Ishii, they're a frequent contributor on Dropout. It costs money, but they encourage password sharing and like 7 different people sre using my subscription. I think paying for independent media like this is the only way forward if advertisers keep ruining the rest of the Internet. These guys don't have advertisers so they don't give a fuck about censoring their content to make them happy.

Dropout is easily a worthwhile subscription for anyone looking for good comedy

It's the streaming service my wife and I use the most.

Gamechanger alone is worth it.

Um Actually and Dimension 20 are extra foundation. Crowd Control is slowly getting up there as a staple.

EDIT: Erika also makes appearances on Make Some Noise which is like the Dropout version of Whose Line.

Dropout and Nebula (well… before I found out they were „discouraging“ people from talking about Palestine on there) make up most of what I’d normally watch on YouTube.

They do profit sharing with their team too, not royalties.

And when the strikes happened, Dropout supported the strikes and was given an exemption from the SAG-AFTRA strike. They are pro-union and happily work with the unions to meet the needs of the employees.

Dropout is a rare gem in a field of streaming garbage.

Okay, but giving Sony money is not the most effective way to express that sentiment.

I mean, what's the reverse of a boycott?

erika gives off insane levels of horny gremlin energy, which is really funny when she's on a show like game changer with a bunch of nerds. i'm assuming the reason she hasn't been on an episode with jess ross is that the studio would collapse into a thirst-singularity.

It's a highly contagious energy.

I’m conflicted. Let’s not forget that Sony/Sucker Punch just fired a longtime trans employee for expressing relief at the loss of a dangerous oppressor. Or that the firing was done while this person was being subjected to a campaign of rightist terror and harassment. That must not be forgotten, it must not be forgiven, and it must not be tolerated.

I was really lucky to see Erika last week in Chicago while she was performing in the 20 sided tavern.

(It’s a D&D game on stage with improv comedians and interaction from the crowd)

It’s really fun, and it was the final performance for her run there. During the adventure the audience effects things by voting on their phones, naming characters and completing challenges for skills checks.

Anyways, the audience chooses Erika to be a himbo barbarian. hilarious.

Later the someone in the crowd is asked for a name for an enemy we came across. The man picked in the audience says “Erika Ishii”. So now the bad guy is named after the actual person playing one of the characters, hilarious.

Later, in the second half we again need to name a character, and a different person on the other side of the theater says “Berkeley Mayor”.

There was a moment of confusion, until Erika shared that her sister is really the Mayor of a Berkeley California. So now the adventure becomes absolutely insane, super meta and one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

There was clever word play by the other cast members about the various characters Erika had voiced. The apex coming when The Himbo Barbaran, played by Erika Ashii, called the “mayor of Berkeley” to drop and air strike on the bad guy “Erika Ashii”. Pretty amazing.

Photos: The Himbo Barbarian and The Mayor and Berkeley meet on the docks.

The entire cast and the evil Erika Ashii in the background.
