Million Dollar Extreme (MDE)

In December 2007, along with its two other members Charles Carroll and Nick Rochefort, Sam co-founded Million Dollar Extreme (MDE), a sketch comedy group.

Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace

On May 7, 2015, it was announced that Million Dollar Extreme will have its own live-action 15-minute sketch comedy show on Adult Swim, an adult-oriented nighttime programming block of the network Cartoon Network. Adult Swim broadcasts nightly from 8 p.m to 6 a.m.

The sketch show, named – Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace, was to be set in a post-apocalyptic nightmare world that satirizes the current political climate.

Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace premiered on August 5, 2016.

Due to MDE’s ties to the alt-right (a right-wing political movement that originated in the US), the sketch comedy show was subject to internal controversy.

After the first season, it was announced that Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace would not be renewed for a 2nd season.

During an interview, Sam declared:

”We got the show based on our heat as independent creators, based on what we were doing on YouTube, and based on Nick very passionately harassing Adult Swim until they cracked.”

Philly Mag’s Andrew Thompson described the show:

“The mission of MDE has always seemed a spin on afflicting the comfortable, except its targets usually aren’t the comfortably powerful.”

YouTube

In December of 2007, Sam and his friends started his MillionDollarExtreme YouTube channel.

Most of the themes used in their YouTube videos were sociological in nature and revolved around ridiculous and stupid behaviors witnessed among different social groups, including:

• politicians;
• parents;
• teachers;
• police officers;
• suburban kids;
• automotive enthusiasts.

MDE’s sketches use anti-comedy and slapstick art devices that were mixed with wild and psychedelic video effects and editing.

In October 2013, their YouTube channel first rose to fame after staging a satirical TEDx talk about the wonders of the future at Drexel University.

When asked about the intent of the prank at Drexel University, Sam disclosed his dislike for TED talks, actually calling them:

“really self-congratulatory.”

On May 4, 2018, the Million Dollar Extreme  YouTube channel was permanently removed from YouTube after a violation of the community guidelines.
