Steve's last act of scumbaggery

Wait wait wait. Before we turn him into a hero, he didn't sound like that much of an awesome guy, he just sounded like a fairly regular dude who dealt with being the meme better than expected. He did also admit somewhat to actually being that guy when he was younger, when the photo was taken.
Besides, I think the whole point of the scumbag steve type characters is that they are somewhat likeable enough to have around, it's just their annoying douchebag habits that let them down.

The only one calling him a "hero" is you.

"Before we turn him into a hero..." L2Read
22
I call him a "grinder".

He was my hero before the interview.

That little Timmy is a real hero...

He was being a bit sarcastic. woosh

Keep talking. You'll make him an hero.

Real talk.

If he's behaving as he says he does in the interview, I have to say I respect the guy.
21, baby on the way? That's gonna be one hell of a reality check. He's gonna need some help. A lot of help.
Maybe reddit can do something.

Can you imagine what a monster the baby would become if it was brought up by reddit?

Better than by digg..

He's the guy you're friends with through circumstance or connections, but you can always count on him to be a douchebag in some way or another.
1
I thought reddit wanted to exterminate people who didn't type with correct grammar. I don't know why you like this guy after that awful interview.
0
Reddit doesn't want to exterminate people. That's not how we roll.
Correcting people's grammar on the internet is supposed to help them write comments that are more constructive, and easier to understand. We're not trying to hurt anybody.
1
I've seen a LOT of comments supporting forced castration for certain people
1
You've been hanging around r/athiesm to much
That's probably going to get downvoted, but I'm tired and frustrated at the moment, so I don't really give a shit.

Actually reddit wants to exterminate people who double post.

He has ADD, so that probably effected him in school. I'm not going to hate someone because they have a disorder.

You mean affected...

Shiiiiiit, oh well.

Man, thank you for the link. I had no idea what in the hell people were talking about.
59
That is reddit, Make a joke but never explain it. Sometimes you have to "digg" through 1000 posts before a link is posted, so YES, I do thank you also hoswald/.
2
The way his answers are written remind me of the great Jim Anchower.
9
I know it's been a long time since I rapped at ya, but shit's been crazy around here.
1
Aww bless him for saying nice things about reddit at the end there. The guy seems pretty calm considering the IRL phone calls and harassment hes getting. I know Id be much more wound up if someone had made my misses cry all night. Hopefully this meme dies a death now and he can move on.
5
honestly... he might have just graduated from scumbag to douche in my eyes... Douchey Dave?
2
Try go a whole day without saying something bad about someone
3
Why?
1
Yeah people have a pretty low standard for what they consider a "nice guy".
-1
You know, not fitting one's cultural taste is one thing. The way he dresses, liberal use of cuz and shit and brother etc.
Assuming that he steals and defrauds stuff at every turn that presents itself to his limited mind, rapes girls that passed out, has kids that he doesn't support, (insert scumbag steve pic), in short that he has a character of dubious moral quality, is pure speculation. So, considering the standard that the scumbag steve-meme sets, I think it's safe to consider him a nice guy and something we absolutely owe him.
10
Seems like a cool guy to me.
2
reddit is the shit!

He still has that douchey beard.

yeah let's lynch him.

He types like a douche too.

Naw, brother types like a baller. He types clean, cuz mothafucka showers every day.

Thanks. Still unsure as to why he talks like a black person though.
-30
He sounds nothing like Obama...

Theres more then one...
-28
I figured he would have grown up in a black neighborhood until the part he says his school was full of preps and he was the first one to wear a flatbill. I do not understand.
16
Yeah I'm pretty lost myself.
4
This. He's still Scumbag Steve to me. If anything, moreso now. Escpecially after the "BeanTownMafia" shit.
9
Why does the BeanTownMafia part make him more of a scumbag?
1
Piss off with you're judgemental shit. Get out of here.
1
Does he really like beans? Or is the town made of beans?

I wish submissions were flagged as meme-related so I could more easily filter them out.
1
Uh, you know those macro-images with text? Those are considered memes. Yes, it's a big stretch from the original meaning of the word, but your comment really seems like "Oh, I really wish somebody had warned me that this meme was meme-related."
1
Uh, you know those macro-images with text?
No, should I?
-2
I kind of cringed when I saw that someone pulled up an ultrasound picture of his baby and wished it dead. Stay classy, 5chon.
161
5chon goes way too far sometimes. I mean, I supported them in their fight with Scilontology, but I think taking down Mustercord's website went over the line.
44
So what's 5chon? Is that some sort of upgraded (or downgraded) form of 4chan?
22
Chinese knockoff version.
10
TIL about 5chon. Thanks?
0
Why are people acting like this guy was ever a scumbag to begin with? People are like "Whoa actually he seems like a pretty nice guy!"
"Who wasn't a scumbag at one point in their life? People change!"
You never knew him, how would you know!?
16
You must be thinking of old reddit. We have 1B readers a month now, though. New reddit is the unwashed masses.
1
1B pageviews a month.
It's still the same 10 users with a hundred thousand troll accounts each, we just hit F5 a lot more now.
7
That's preposterous.
1
I am amazed at the number of people who assumed that there was any relationship between the character "Scumbag Steve" and the person in the photo. I just assumed that the photo had the right pose for someone asking for a favor, so people turned it into a meme.
1
That's it, now Bfone is gonna be after you.

I kind of feel like that kid who found the severed hand

No way. Maybe the actual guy isn't a douche, but Scumbag Steve represents a level of douchbaggery that transcends reality. Everyone knows or knew a Scumbag Steve. Far from ruined, this remains my favorite meme.
116
Yeah - Blake Boston is a decent guy, Scumbag Steve is a fucking tool.

As a highschool teacher in a private school in the suburbs of a big city, I teach guys like Steve every day. Most are good kids, some are kids with problems but good at heart and a small percentage are real dicks with real problems.
Lesson: Guys like Steve are mostly nice, smart good kids.
15
I agree. I live in a small town just south of Nashville where, for whatever reason, a bunch of the kids try to act like thugs even though we are surrounded by beautiful hills and not many skyscrapers. I've noticed that it has alot to do with how they are raised and if they are loved. All of the thuggish ruggish assholes I know, personally, are my friends. If you treat them like somebody then they are cool with you. Its as if they are so pleased to have someone outside of their circle shoot the shit with them that they can't help but to enjoy the strangeness of it.
4
Yeah, I'm from fucking Ohio and we have thugs like this. Actually, we have an entire different breed of white thugs. Have you ever heard of Barberton? Combine West Virginia with Watts, and that's what you get. I have a friend that looks almost exactly like Steve, and fits the stereotype perfectly. If you weren't friends with the guy, you'd absolutely hate him. Once getting to know him, he's been one of the better and most loyal friends I've ever had. Also like Steve, he constantly raps and is awful at it. Either way, I'm glad Mr. Boston isn't actually an ass as he's depicted. He's kinda funny.
2
Yea, I feel the same way. It's just sad that shit had to go so far.
As good as the meme is, it's not worth one guy getting harassed over.
Q: On the down side of internet fame, I hear you’ve been getting harassed by Anonymous pranksters left and right. How’s that going? I imagine you’re in a glass case of emotions right now.
A: Sucks man. I guess people can’t separate the meme from the real me in some cases. Like people got my name, my phone, my Facebook, started callin’. Callin’ me all kind of racist shit, callin’ my girl and my family all hours of the night. Some asshole put up an ultrasound picture of my unborn kid and wished it would die. How fucked is that? My girl cried all night. She felt molested by that. Lot of racist shit being said, lot of haters. But truth is man, even with d-bags like that, I have it good really cuz I’ve got my family and my friends who know me. And no one can break that.
He might be different than me and my friends, but, fuck man, he doesn't deserve this shit.
3
I know a Scumbag Steve. His actual name is Steve, too
1
His name was Mike Shady

The search for the real Slim Shady is far from over.

If everyone knows someone who transcends reality, then what separates reality from fiction?
0
I think the interview points out something very important. This guy was not joking when he dressed up like that. He seriously chose to dress that way.
Thus the meme is validated.
The guy also claims to be a rapper and says he was a moron in school.
-4
He still seemed a bit ridiculous. But, I'm willing to chalk that up to cultural differences.
102
Or his attempt at cultural appropriation.
51
good one...I like that term.
10
Why do you call it appropriation?
1
Real talk.
10
Are you talking down on him just because he wears a hat? I am not sure what you are referring to. Perhaps you think young people are generally less attractable on the market just because they have a different sense of fashion? This is a very mediocre way of thinking and I sincerely hope you are not a manager yourself.
Also, cultural differences do make a difference in interviews. I don't think you should "chalk" anything like that up - but rather be aware of the fact that you do feel different about cultural differences in society. That way you can make sure there's no interference when you call someone to an interview.
-7
I think he was just making the point that in the interview, his english was still reminiscent of the "I dun give a fuk about werdz, cuz." style that lent him the title of Scumbag Steve in the first place. And then he wrote it off as cultural and dropped it.
It was a valid point.
8
This is exactly what it was. It had nothing to do with his age, and everything to do with him calling people baller.

Thank you so much for clearing that up. English is my secondary language and sometimes I don't succeed in writing coherent comments. It's thanks to people like you I am able to get better without making too much of an ass out of myself.
So in all honesty; thank you. If Reddit had a few more guys like you we Europeans would have mastered English a long time ago. I am also very sorry for just failing my novelty account.
Edit: Spelling. Opps!
12
I don't think his point was to actually critique your English skills, but instead point out that the kid, in his reply, used rather disappointing grammar for a native speaker. Hence why he talked down on him, not because of how he looked, but instead of the personality he showed.

I like you. You can come over to my house and fuck my sister.

Installing RES was the best thing I ever did.
I applaud you.

Oddly, I found it useful too.

I think he is still lame because he is 21, makes shit money, has a baby on the way, talks like an idiot.
His current life situation, ironically, is exactly what you would expect "scumbag steve" to be at this point. A complete mess and failure because he fucked up in high school, and was a fucking douche bag in high school. The only thing that is somewhat positive is he is trying to go back to school.
I read the interview shaking my head at the end. Really pathetic.

The point isn't whether or not he's a nice guy. The point is that his personal information was posted and his privacy was taken away for no other reason than that his picture was on the internet. He may not be a great person, but he never did anything wrong and didn't deserve to have his private life messed with.
87
Let's face it: at the end of the day, half the people here are way more of a scumbag than SS
48
4chan (and even Reddit): where the bullied go to be bullies.
I'm quoting that from BraveSirRobin
37
He seemed like a tool to me.
The meme can continue.
81
Which part? The not taking it too seriously, working and providing for his family, studying or are you really bothered by the way he speaks so much that you can't see him as a normal person who just happens to have become a meme.
I bet if he had used "proper" english, you wouldn't have called him a tool as there is very little that implies he is one.
44
I too thought he seemed like a tool and I've always been annoyed by reddit grammar nazis. WHAT HAVE I BECOME?!!!
5
I'll bite. Yes, I find him to be a tool by the way he speaks.

Hello there. I was waiting for you.
I never said I didn't see him as a normal person. Lots of normal people are tools. I'm not required to think Blake Boston is some fantastic guy because he seems to have a sense of humor about a meme based on an old picture of him or because he has a family. But, I don't know him. I've never had a beer with him. I've never had a conversation with him. I don't know what he feels about life and love and coffee and theology and giraffes. All I know about the man is from that interview, so when I say "seems", that indicates that I am commenting on my perception of the man explicitly, implying a level of uncertainty as to the application of my appraisal of the man himself. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have taken the time to type the word "seems".
I know this may be shocking, but yes, the way you communicate affects how people perceive you. Oh, cruel world! And you had just convinced yourself that your high school English classes were useless.
Is he really a tool? How the fuck would I know? How would you? I'm a random asshole on the Internet. So are you. Hell, the whole Scumbag Steve thing isn't even an appraisal of Blake Boston, except in the shallow sense of how he looked in the picture, if you want to take it that way. I don't feel the least bit of guilt about the meme, probably because I never considered it to be tied to an actual individual, and I still don't. I guess that's probably why my pendulum didn't swing in this case.
TL;DR: He's a random asshole, I'm a random asshole, you're a random asshole. Chill. Weigh our words accordingly.
EDIT: formatting fail.
EDIT: copy/paste phone fail. Fucking words, how do they work?
-9
I'm not sure why you are being downvoted, i thought you provided an honest, intelligent & cogent reply. That is all. Carry on.
1
Ironically, after that bit about how you communicate affecting perceptions, I had some nasty formatting errors due to my phone's browser and my own inattentiveness. That probably didn't help matters from the beginning. Plus, the post is pretty confrontational :P. I was being a bit of an ass with the tone.
1
[deleted]
-1
Thanks? There was a... phone browser copy/paste mishap. I fix... with my pliers.
1
And lots of douchebags claim the same shit. Just an abstract of how what he said reads to me...
working
At the gas-station.
providing for his family
Buys bread with food-stamps.
studying
Quit CC after first quarter; still claims to be in school.
-13
Yeah and being a judgmental asshole doesn't make you superior you know.
5
Did I claim to be superior? I don't think I did.
Thanks for sharing.
-5
Which of those examples are bad things? I've got friends who work in gas stations, are they not working or somehow deserving of less respect than you or I? I also know plenty of people on food stamps because it's still hard as hell to get a job where I live. Also, where does he say that he quit community college? I never read that.

Using slang or words like "grind" apparently classifies them as a tool. People grow up around different cultures. Also, look at the internet and all the shit we use daily that would be considered "tool-like". Since he seems somewhat new to the net he didn't know meme....lulz...pretty sure he woud WTF "troll" and the likes...
TL;DR People grow up differently, don't be scared of different cultures.
3
I didn't say it made him a tool. I said it made him seem like one. I have no idea if he is a tool or not. I'm just a random asshole on the internet.
2
Can I get some context, I have no idea what is going on and the picture made no sense to me.
1
I agree and I thought I'd see more quotes of the interview over his image compounding the meme but I seem to have seen the interview in a completely different light to others.
To me he just seemed to come off as even more of a douche.
-1
What parts specifically made him seem like more of a douche? I think he sounded like a normal, adjusted, contributing member of society.
11
"I’m tryin’ to get on my grind cuz I have a baby boy on the way."
"And I’m a clean mothafucka, cuz I shower everyday."
etc.
10
I can agree that the way he speaks (or types, as it would be) is immature and unbecoming of an adult, but people are different in many ways. If using the word "cuz" and referring to working as "getting his grind on" are his worst crimes against humanity, than I think he is alright.
21
Thinking someone is a douche for doing the right thing but not liking the particular language they use to describe it is pretty superficial.

Nice and superficial judgement of character. I like it.

I hate that you're judging someone based on how they choose to speak. But I'm glad that at least 4 people called you out on it.

"She thought she would do me a solid by makin’ that shit."

and many more...
who speaks like this? he sounds like a total douche...
-3
Your response is basically the same as prencey's.
People come from different backgrounds, acquire different tastes, and use different language. You using the word "douche" as an insult would seem just as ignorant or "douchey" to an Ivy league professor or Wall Street executive as Blake's choice of language sounds to you.

Yeah, his IMDB pages is something to behold. I think he did like 56 movies in one year or something. He's all over the place.
1
- 1983 - War Games
He was one of the two guys who "failed" the psychological test at the beginning of the movie (the test that led to the DoD decision to install WOPR). Interestingly enough, the other guy was John Spencer, better known as Chief of Staff Leo McGarry on The West Wing.
1
He also had a small cameo in War Games 2.
Nah, just kidding; there was absolutely nothing descent in the sequel.

Michael Madsen is not a nice guy.

He supposedly had a tough time doing the "ear scene" when the cop ad libbed in some lines about how he's a father.

I haven't seen Reservoir Dogs, can you equate this to Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds?

I’ve seen the website White People Rapping Poorly. And that shit kinda bugs me. Seriously. …Take a kid that wants to try and learn the violin. If the kid kinda sucks [at playing violin] do we tell him to stop? No, I hope not. we tell him to do it if he loves it, no matter if it isn’t the greatest. I think rappers should keep doin’ what they love, whether they suck or not.
Is it possible I like Scumbag Steve!?

Naw. You like Blake, man.

No Top 40s Rap Album + Ghetto Speech = SCUMBAG ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

I felt obligated to correct your grammar, but I am struggling to figure out what you meant. I guess the only option is to do all viable corrections.

FTFY
No Top 40 Rap Albums + Ghetto Speech = SCUMBAG ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
FTFY? I don't know if that makes any sense

No, these corrections are all wrong. The original is correct. He's saying that the Scumbag Achievement was unlocked because he has ghetto speech without first obtaining a Top-40's rap album. Amirite?
18
So is the new rule that ghetto speech to get rich is ok, but not ghetto speech for everyday use unless you are already rich from ghetto speech?
3
I believe that's the idea, yes.
1
THIS is correct
3
No Top 40s Rap Album + Ghetto Speech = 99.99% of all Ghetto Speech users.
2
Well-put. Too bad the douchebags that use it don't realize that it makes them look like... well, douchebags!
They treat it like it's some sort of accent, and that's bullshit. TEXANS have an accent. BOSTONIANS have an accent. GEORGIANS have an accent.
Ghetto is NOT an accent - it's BULLSHIT, so STOP FUCKING SPEAKING IT!

I dunno he did match the stereotype. He's a decent guy but does seem like he's that high school douche.

I think his mom. She made him a myspace page and put pictures of him up there. He didn't care for myspace so never paid attention to it. She could have uploaded it not knowing people were going to use it to attack him.

The problem with megasites is that there's literally millions of people riling each other up. Even if 99% are decent and just making a harmless joke, there is this chance that one of them is an actual, genuine psychopath. That's what always scares me.
How can someone find that funny? What's going on in your mind doing this?

It was probably posted by a member his familly on the internet via myspace, facebook etc... to show to other familly members and some douchebag got a hold of it.

Again, he has a girlfriend and a kid on the way (I'm hoping that means he has a job too), and he's worried about what the internet thinks?

So Reddit, lets do what we do best. I like the fact that in the Q&A he played along and laughed, but the one that got me, the one that stepped way over the line was the one about his unborn kid (Here Is The Q&A)....Reddit, we need to apologize, and if not to him, then his family.

Reddit is not the internet. It can't apologize for the internet.

Reddit can still apologize for what they have done.

The internet means never having to say you're sorry.

Reddit is also not /b/, while most of /b/ is on Reddit, that personality was left there

Sure it is, but again, there are crazy people on the internet. You can't stop that.
The fact that he has a wife and kid, and yet he's still thinking about what people on the internet think, will only lead to more problems.

i think its pretty fucked up that people said things about his kid. Making fun of a picture is funny, he even agreed with that. But griefing someone in real-life over a picture is taking it way past the boundaries of common decency.
Yeah that's fucked up. I wasn't really aware that people were actually giving him shit IRL... That picture of Blake's just an effigy, I didn't think people were stupid enough to take it as some sort of thumbs up for unwarranted harassment.

Yeah. See, his picture for me is just a place holder; generic douche. The real person behind the picture is not a douche and whoever actually got angry at the real 'steve' has the dumb.
you know what we must do to correct such an injustice...start a new comic series:
Helpful Steve
He seemed to handle it pretty well, but I feel bad for the girl whose picture is used as musically oblivious 8th grader.
Never heard of that one, but I just made my own.
awesome
This is actually the best one I've seen! Nice!
She agreed to be the face of that meme.
Source?
At least she's not that poor unfortunate girl who looked like she - gasp had a hairy arm in that one photo.
Woah. Pic please?
you shouldn't. this was her fate. soon she will have her own show on mtv just because she was a meme
What about butthurt dweller
It's funny how the more you really know about someone, the more you tend to care about them.
With a lot of people, the more I know about them, the more I hate their fucking guts and all my suspicions about their inadequacies are confirmed
Yay for cynicism!
Lol, you should watch Greenburg. It's about a guy who hates everyone, but he actually just hates himself.

Check his username, he's already given us the slip.
This* [very modestly famous] dialogue is audible at the end of a live recording of the early 80's lineup of the band 'Flipper' performing the song "Ever" at Target Video, sometime before 1983. It was also, not coincidentally, the end of the show, as someone was actually getting beaten up. Will Shatter's final lyrics before the end of the song — "All right, let's have a fight / Beat on his ass with a piece of broken glass / Bust his fucking skull, he's void and null; kill him! kill him!" were improvised. The track appeared on the [multi-band] 1983 compilation 'Eastern Front', and later on the Flipper compilation album, 'Sex Bomb Baby', which is probably the one Flipper album anyone has if they have only one Flipper album.
*the word 'griefing' was substituted for 'beating'
It's not very redditor like.
I agree. It is somewhat funny, but only because its not one of us...
Might sound dumb, but I get upset even over someone's negative comment on a post or comment of my own. I can't imagine the grief of the entirety of redditors calling me a douche every day :-(

Thanks yardglass, I derp'd.
That's what she? That's what she what?
that's derp!
Maybe I'm just dumb, but a bunch of the content near the dead center of this seems extremely, extremely irrelevant. I read this before and tried to decipher it, but that middle section just throws me off 100% and because of that I get all of the other characters confused with each other.
Aaaaaaaaaaand we're back at the beginning.
you know how I know you are british? because you call the pakistani characters asian :)
She got pregnant young, and she separated with the father. That's why she resents her daughter.

I dont think that at the end he's supposed to be an alcoholic because of what happens at the start, its just about how people change.
It's pretty obviously a connected chain, but are all those middle pieces really necessary to tell the story and get the point across? I don't think so. I think the author just enjoyed drawing goofy characters and kept going with it.
Thanks man. :)
It's just about how you don't know what anyone has been through or will be through and that overall, people are complex, and that you should reserve judgment.
happy reddit birthday :)
Can I have some cake?
Irrelevant to what? The beauty of the strip is that it's just snippets of the people's lives. There's no story arc.
On I think there is very much a story arc, every single character is related to another by some interaction at some point in their life, bringing it all back to the original youth as a scummy man later in life facing his fate. That is a story arc for the ages.
Confusing.
I think it's supposed to be an answer to the question it poses at the start. This is what's the matter with some people.

What a twist.
Cheapened the whole comment. B-, would not view again.
and then it was Hilarious!
Trolled ourselves? Sweet!
That isn't what trolling is.
It's pronounced "ShamalamaDINGDONG"
Actually, it's pronounced sh y ah m uh l uh n. Give the guy a little credit for not changing his name like so many other celebrities. According to Wikipedia, he actually did consider changing his name to Twisty Magee.
The greatest trick steve ever committed was convincing us he wasn't a scumbag.
And then Steve was the demons.
Steve was a tree.
He was actually a broom.
To be honest with you, bizwon, I'm surprised.

And he can smell crime before it happens.
Actually - I think it's pronounced "Shamalamadingdong."
Did you get from Stephen Merchant or is it out there in the public domain? I know if from the goggle-eyed freak.
To be honest with you, it's just what I hear my dad call M. Night. He loves British comedy so he probably picked it up from Merchant.
What a twist!
I could have told you reddit has a bunch of scumbags on it. I mean, a lot of diggers migrated here.
