A Long Rambling Vlog About The Corey Feldman Videos and Such.

Overview

The video is a personal, long-form vlog by Matt Haws (Happy Show) discussing why Corey Feldman has become a frequent target of online commentary and “so bad it’s good” entertainment culture. Haws says he’s not a devoted Corey Feldman fan, though he has liked some of Feldman’s classic work from his youth, and he frames the discussion around what’s been happening online “in the last few weeks.”

Main Points and Argument

• Corey Feldman’s public image has shifted

  • Haws notes that many people now view Feldman as a “sideshow attraction,” largely because his more recent projects don’t have the same prominence as his 1980s stardom and because of his controversial history.

• Criticism exists for reasons, but Feldman escalates it

  • Haws argues that some criticism toward Feldman is fair.
  • However, he believes Feldman responds in a way that “feeds the machine”—instead of letting mockery fade, Feldman’s reactions keep drawing attention and intensifying conflict.

• Online mockery resembles “so bad it’s good” review culture

  • Haws compares Feldman commentary to established entertainment formats where audiences enjoy bad or cheesy media through riffs, reviews, and humorous dissection.
  • He mentions Mystery Science Theater 3000, Redletter Media, Nostalgia Critic, and the broader tradition of “so bad it’s good.”

• Why people keep watching

  • Haws emphasizes that if people truly hated Feldman’s performances completely, they wouldn’t keep watching.
  • He claims the audience often gets ironic enjoyment even when the material is criticized—mocking doesn’t always equal hatred.

• Feldman’s best option would be acceptance or indifference

  • Haws suggests Feldman should either embrace the irony or ignore critics rather than attack them.
  • He argues that engaging with mockery increases its visibility and gives the online audience more to react to.

• Online community dynamics

  • He observes that multiple Corey-focused commentary channels and creators (e.g., those who discuss Feldman frequently) sometimes end up in conflict with each other.
  • He views this as a shame because they’re supposedly “on the same side” as fans of the entertainment-by-ridicule genre.

• Counterpoint: performers using attention

  • Haws suggests that some performers—comparing the approach to Tommy Wiseau—understand how to turn ridicule into something profitable and entertaining rather than a hostile feud.
  • In Feldman’s case, Haws claims even mockery can translate into ticket sales and attention.

Personal Stance and Viewing Habits

• Haws says he watched some Feldman-related shows mainly through clips and commentary rather than full episodes.
• He’s more interested in the comedic musical/bad-film aspects than in Feldman’s seriousness.
• He also says he’s growing bored with making more Corey-focused content.

Overall Conclusion

The vlog concludes that Corey Feldman’s ongoing online controversies are amplified by his reaction style, and that much of the criticism functions as part of an ironic “so bad it’s good” entertainment ecosystem. Haws’ main recommendation is for Feldman to stop taking it personally and stop fueling it—either laugh along or disengage—because the mocking audience often still enjoys his work in some form.
