TWiT Teams up with Scrotum Shaving Sponsor “Manscaped”

“Manscaped is fantathtic!” Louis Maresca, TWiET Emperor and aspiring Manscaped spokesman

As many of you have reported, TWiT has continued their advertising ascent, this time landing the much-coveted pubic hair and scrotum shaving company “Manscaped”.

“I am unbelievable as always, but when I’m not I use The Lawn Mover 3.0. Thank you for suhscribing!” – Ant Pruitt, TWiT.tv

This seems to be in line with previous sponsors such as Roman, the erectile dysfunction company, and current mattress sponsor Casper. So now you can ejaculate on your mattress in style with a raging boner and “manscaped” genitals.

“Before I used this product I often got a jarring reaction when I removed my black robe, but now I get no complaints!” Fr. Robert R. Ballecer SJ

Many of us had hoped TWiT’s very own fake priest Fr. Robert R. Ballecer SJ, would be the one to grace us with these ad reads, because he is hands down the most qualified to speak on the subject. But we got stuck with Leo Laporte, who often appeared unable to find the right words.

“As a registered anti-anxiety therapist in the Province of Quebec, I can assure you this product will not only reduce your stress but also fix your hideous looking balls you pathetic incel!” – Georgia Dow, Psychotherapist

We dispatched our crack research team and asked them to comb the internet for reviews of this ball trimmer. They found multiple videos suggesting “Manscaped” isn’t the best choice for shaving your pubes, but if we are to believe Artisanal Agency’s statement on how they vet their clients, we might just be wrong on this one.

In the end, the reaction from the chatroom was priceless. Many expressed dismay it had come to this, while others simply made inappropriate jokes (trolls!). There were still some obsessed arse-lickers who tried to defend this choice of sponsor, but they were clearly in the minority.

  1. Honestly, I’m more surprised that TWIT is on Manscape’s radar. They have advertised on the Linus Tech Tips channel, which has around a million subscribers on YouTube so I don’t know why they would even bother with TWIT.

    With that said, I think advertising pubes trimmers on tech shows is just odd for both channels. It is like running boner pill ads on the cartoon network.

    1. I didn’t realize…LTT actually has about 11 million subscribers. TWIT has 207K. But what really tells the story is views. Day old TWIT video has 1300 views….Day old LTT video has 952,000 views!

  2. Wow. This is the advertising equivalent of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Manscaped, on the network that brings you, “Netcasts you love, from geriatrics you trust.”

    This is so sad, and one of the many signs that the end is near. I wonder how the female employees/guests feel? Is Leo or some other TWiT stooge going to do a demo? My god…

          1. Joel Osteen: So creative.

            I wasn’t being creative. I was invalidating your shitty argument by showing you it makes no sense.

            You replied to me even though you had nothing positive to say.

            You invalidated nothing… saying something is “sexist” or “racist” or some other “ist” word does not invalidate anything. It’s meant to shut down convo that you don’t like.

  3. Futurist Amy Webb made an appearance on TWiT #768 to say some (many) words about something about something or rather. She models things and uses the word ‘so’ quite a lot which makes her really good at being a futurist. I hope that helps.

      Yes! All thoughts today must start with “So’, so it seems. Such as, “So………they put the iphoto stream on the air and someone noticed he had two dick picks. How embarrassing. Who takes photos of your thing?” Or, “So……the show was good when John Dvorak was on it but like now he’s kicking ass with Adam.” Is this so thing a Millennial thing?

  4. As others have said, Manscaped has been advertising for a long time on much bigger podcast/video platforms than TWiT.

    I’m all for shitting on TWiT, but this is a non story.

    1. I agree. This is actually a step above doing ED pill commercials.

      Once he started doing ads for other limp-dick geriatrics who still wanted to bust a nut, it was basically hitting rock bottom. I can’t think of anything worse, even pube trimmers and underwear pales in comparison.

      1. You called out Joel and Thurrot for sexist comments and YOU go off on your typical ageist bigoted hate. You will be cursed as an old man, I can assure you.

          » Quote comment

    2. The main reason this became a story is the hypocrisy that TWiT vets each and every client, and only supports companies they personally use and believe in, both of which are completely false.

      But thanks for your comment.

  5. Actually probably a good catch for Twit. Surprised Manscape is bothering with a two bit podcast like this one.

    Never bothered with them myself. Anyone can do internet research on beard/body trimmers. Always assumed Manscape was cheap crap with A big ad budget. Appears to be so.

    I hope these people aren’t using a trimmer directly on their berries skin. That’s a recipe for serious bleeding. At least use a spacer. Better to use a safety razor.

      It’s the other way around. Considering all the exposure and star power of Leo’s genitalia, an endorsement from him is a big get for those guys.

  6. I hear “Woman-scaping” is the current fashion and is surely a bigger market. Leo is missing out there. From what I remember Leo accidently leaked a pussy pic of Lisa and she wasn’t shaven!

    1. The hater trolls have this wrong… I was at the table. It was a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Leo was laughing: oh well, they’ll lap that one up.

      She is now… Lisa tested it first on her furry mound and discovered her set of nuts . She then passed the sample razor over to hubs( no not snubs, she was shitcanned ages ago) and LEO discovered after ‘scaping his furry bush , his nuts were missing… exciting news has spewn forth from the TWiT roadhouse: LEO is now a she/her/ them and Lisa is a bull dike.

      1. Mr. Pixel B. Core: Joe Bloggs = Andy Ihnatko

        If that was Andy it would be at least a dozen paragraphs including a digression of Diana Damrau as Violetta in La Traviata. And then a dozen more paragraphs about Mexican Coca-Cola.

        1. Andy Ihnatko — slowly I turned. This blowhard haa an inability to be succinct to an extreme. He’s the worst writer, ever and one of the most boring commentators to address a microphone. You have to wonder how he views himself. Does he look in the mirror and see those idiotic Asimov mutton-chops and say to himself, “Girls, here I come?” or what? Does Leo even pay him?

  7. This whole thing was stressing me out. Twit goes and Jeff Jarvis goes. You may also know him as America’s Public Intellectual aka Buzz Machine aka Count CUNY aka Professor What Would Google Do (ha ha, do you get it, do you get the joke?)

    Anyhow, Tom Merritt, his brother John and I have started a fake Kickstarter – we are really using the money to start a new podcast which can receive the better cut of TWIT refugees such as PIJJ. I know many of you love Jeff’s wisdom, antics (who can forget that genuine and non attention seeking return of the phone to Verizon) and blasphemy.

  8. All you youngin’s who weren’t around for TechTV, here’s all you need to know: Leo’s first metoo was a live on air comment to Kate Botello. Patrick Norton couldn’t make it in anti-virus now could he? So he sold it to the guy on the box with the glasses. Cat Schwartz showed her wambos while at Tech TV and was sailed off to TechTV byebye town. You can still find the photo with a search. In elementary school the most heard phrase was, “Hey Andy Anotko, you bring your lunch money? Good. GIVE IT TO ME.” Which brings us to present day. Now you’re all caught up kids.

  10. When did Twit become such a junky looking site? Look at their homepage.

    YouTube channel’s like Bot created crap clips… they don’t get it.

    Re-chewed 5 times content. Joke.

  11. Word from the inside is that Leo is about to do a major advertising deal with the good folks at Fleshlight AND apparently Lisa is going to have a model molded for her.

    STAY TUNED!!

  12. Dear Mr. Laporte,

    While our company appreciates your enthusiasm, your personal before-and-after photo testimonial with our product is not required as part of our advertising agreement. Please refrain from sending further photographs.

  14. It’s safer to use Harry’s. I haven’t listened to Twit in years because I always felt the need to shower (not in a good way) after an episode, but I’m a bit surprised at this new advertiser. Lisa has really destroyed this network.

  15. I got to give it up for Leo. I turn TWiT on maybe 3 times a year. I turned on twit with Andy Ihnakto, Owen who is African American and Georgia Dow. Anyway, I barely made it through the intro before Andy started repeating CNN about awful Republican governors and Coronavirus.

    Leo was quick to point out that Democrat-led California is also on the rise in cases. Part of me thinks he pointed it out as a rebuff to Andy and sees through the BS. Or because he gets a lot of complaints about how left wing he is. Of course, it could be that he lives in Cali so that’s why he pointed it out.

    Is Dr Jarvis still on the google show? Would love to hear him lobbying against free speech. Of all the joke human beings on this planet of ours, he is the worst.

      1. I haven’t listened to TWiT in so long, but I know who you’re talking about. Although, I will say my favourite TTG screener/board op was Louis? Not sure how you spell his name but he was Brazilian. Going back many years there, but it was when TWiT was bearable.

  17. You’re my post angel.

    Hmm. Doesn’t seem so bad to me.

    You could argue no one would complain if Leo was a female saying this kind of thing. So it goes both ways.

    Kinda like some people can burn down buildings and be praised. Others would go to jail and be called criminals. It often depends who and what you are for some reason I don’t understand.

  18. Such a drag Leo, parroting every one else’s work. I saw dear leader Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ was on your main show, is this his site?

  19. High drama at the Twit studio that came out of nowhere. Someone cut a fart last week that is literally sticking to the studio walls. The smell is just hanging there and is especially bad when they open in the morning. Surprising thing is that a woman dealt it. Just another annoyance to pile on all the others there but it’s real and everyone comes in and complains that it’s strong as ever. Someone blew some beef in their trunks last week and it’s just omnipresent. Appealing no?

  20. OMG is that what that stink is? What did that person eat, Petaluma Taco Bell? I was at TWIT for 2 hours and I didn’t get acclimated to it. It’s nasty. This was a fart from last week???

  22. Wanna report the fart smell is still there at TWIT. The woman who cracked a rat in the Twit studio near the far wall (a guest) will not be forgotten. What is it? Like 4 weeks now and it’s almost like a chemical canister of fart spray was painted into the wall. I got so affected today I hear “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies” in my head with those little bells, while picturing Andy Ahnotko dancing in a tutu, that hat and the sideburns. TWIT will have to pay a major cleaning fee to have it scrubbed when they finish their lease.
