Love that professional broadcasters have to say “Cumtown” when listing Stavvy’s credits.

"I'm a movie nerd" - looks up cumtown clip of adam and nick naming movies that he hasn't seen for 30 minutes straight

Stavvy looking like he's about to give me a mission in Grand Theft Auto.

22:44 Love Stav stopping himself from saying "pussy" two times in the span of 10 seconds.

I’m really glad they didn’t cut the disagreement with Jordan. It sucks how it was taken out of context, but I am so grateful that the phrase “austin trans brain” is now part of the cultural lexicon.

Stav going from only watching Disney movies to loving Yorgos Lanthimos is the kind of character arc I strive for

If you told me, listening to cumtown, that one day Stav would meet Emma Stone, let alone be in a movie with her, I would have laughed

I love how Stav is like "I can’t be the Joe Rogan of the left because I'm too stupid and unprincipled to have that level of prestige." Bro, have you ever seen Joe Rogan?

Stavvy is my north star of dirtbag enlightenment. He’s grown without disowning what made him funny in the first place.

Hey this was cool but the ads for TikTok in this can really go die

I'm dying at the accidental Flanders "I'm a complete diddly different guy" at like 15:30

Stavvy really inherited the wisest greek genes. I say he's the Aristotle of our time .

I would RUN to the theater to see Stav in a Big Fat Greek Wedding sequel.

Stav will win an academy award one day. In the category of Best Gay Actor

The more I hear Stavros talk, the more I realize just how thoughtful he is, he looks like a tollbooth attendant, but there's a philosopher behind that facade.
