Chapter 1: Who are the hosts of Reddit Stories?
Welcome to Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today we are reading some of the wildest stories from the year 2024. These are stories that we have not read on this show, but they're some of our favorites, some of the wildest ones from this year. And I am joined by two wild cast members here at Smosh, Courtney and Angela.
Mm-hmm.
I can't wait for this one. Yeah! I really can't wait for this one. We're amped. Yeah. Crazy year.
Yeah, absolutely crazy year. Some crazy stories here. Got a lot of updates.
Just how I like it. That's my favorite recipe.
And we might have a little surprise for you guys later.
Okay, I love that recipe. What does that mean?
I don't know. Like a present? Were you looking around at the ceiling? No.
Like the ceiling was gonna fall. I thought like New Year's Eve.

Chapter 2: What was the crazy story about a PowerPoint presentation?
I heard this comedian, Anthony Jeselnik, who says really offensive jokes. That's his whole bit. But he was talking about how he thinks of the Andy Warhol quote, where it's like, art is getting away with it. He's like, that's comedy. If you don't give your joke and it goes off, then you didn't do it well. You didn't do it well enough. If people are offended, you didn't. You didn't land the joke.
You can't pass something off as comedy once it's already failed. That means it wasn't comedy. It means it didn't work, didn't do it. So you now need to apologize and be like, I offended you.
Yeah, no, it certainly wasn't comedy rooted in friendship.
He just sounds like a baby. He just truly sounds like a little baby. A baby with a computer.
Yeah, and to be funny, being funny requires intelligence, and I just don't think he was very much thinking this through, thus not being very funny.
Also, if you're gonna roast someone, you have to respect that person. You have to show respect for that person in your roast, and what he tried to do is he tried to just roast his partner fully, and it just was not respectful at all. There was no fun in it.
It was like, okay, you're trying to make her laugh, but all you're doing is saying you suck at this thing that you do for me that I don't contribute back to at all.
No, and it's just like, he's making this thing that she works hard to do a joke. He's not taking her cooking anything seriously.
There was a comment here. Your post was good enough that at least two people ripped it off within 24 hours of it being posted.

Chapter 3: Why did the boyfriend receive criticism for his cooking critique?
When I, an 18 year old woman, was in fifth grade, ages 10 to 11 for any non-Americans, there were these new twins who moved from the other side of the country to join my class. For some reason, these two kids did everything they could to make my life miserable. I think it's because I was socially unaware and a bit odd as a child, but I'm not sure.
The boy twin was this very big kid who would regularly beat me up and the girl twin would humiliate and spread rumors about me. Of course, the teachers never did anything about it. Luckily, these two went to different middle and high schools, so I wasn't bullied and I had a pleasant time in school after that.
Most kids were not happy about going to middle school, but I was excited for them to stop torturing me. However, last month I got a job at a new grocery store in my neighborhood. However, last week the girl who bullied me got a job at the same grocery store. At first I thought, it's been seven years, she probably changed.
But just now, a few coworkers asked me, did you really have sex with the manager so you could get hired here? I shouted at them, no, and asked them where they heard that. And they said, the new girl told us. I don't want to go through this again. I am genuinely considering switching jobs to get away from her. I feel so lost and helpless.
Ugh.
What the fuck? That's really fucked up.
Just like, first week, it's just like, oh, yeah, I'm back.
Should we go, yeah, so you're gonna just trust this new person who just started to... First week. Yeah. You're a slut. You slept with our boss. That's gotta be grounds for, like, reporting as sexual harassment. You're spreading rumors about... I think it is. That's very, very damaging.
Yeah.
