The Drunken Peasants is a podcast that is uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, and iTunes. On the show, three to four people on webcams play videos from sources such as the news and YouTube to make fun of them by providing commentary and/or responding to them. They upload anywhere between 10 minutes of clips to 4 hour long episodes. The clips they play contain content such as news stories from Fox or CNN, people’s rantings about various topics like feminism, educational material, and other videos that talk about current events. The hosts in the show – Ben, TJ, Scotty, and Paul - also read articles from news sources and break them down by arguing points against them and mocking them. Sometimes they will bring on guests who support their Patreon page (a public funding) or other popular YouTubers/little-known celebrities. Perks are achieved such as exclusive videos, discounts towards items from their shop, and being on their show from certain levels of money donated to them through their Patreon website.
The purpose of their show is to entertain and have a pretty large audience, over 140,000 subscribers on YouTube. They also have their own dedicated website, drunkenpeasants.wiki which is updated by not the hosts of The Drunken Peasants, but by some of their fans. Hangouts to various bars and other places of entertainment with their fans are organized by Ben from the show and posted ahead of time on their Facebook page. Often times at least 100 fans show up to these meetups and videos of them are recorded then posted on YouTube and Facebook. Due to their dark comedic nature of the show, there’s no surprise that controversy is a big factor of the show. Since the hosts have no fear in mocking the common stupidity in human nature, they receive much hate from the people’s videos they cover and fans of those mocked.
