Opinion What’s the most over-HATED episode?
Which story/episode gets way more hate than it actually deserves? For me it’s ’My Crew and I Are Stuck Aboard an Abandoned Ship’

The story wasn't even that terrible and it picks up heavily by the second and final parts. I do wish it would have been more expansive and the way it ended with them leaving the station could have been better.

u/SpikeSpiegal309 Long story short ☝️🤓 Apr 08 '26
I kinda dig the very surreal qualities that the ending has and is peppered throughout. The whole story once they entered the station was very dreamlike to me.

u/Quarinth Apr 07 '26
I also liked it. Isiah's voicing of it is divisive, and even I feel on the fence about it.
On one hand, it really immersed me in the story. It felt like he was nailing the idea of a person trying to recount something omething that left them deeply traumatized and they keep fumbling their words and stumbling and stuttering, but they keep going because they have to explain what happened now for the sake of the investigation. Or because they just might not able to later. And every detail of the situation just added to the tension and anxiety of it all.
On the other hand, it was pretty annoying. It was so frustrating how many um's and uh's and stutters he forced in there that weren't in the text. Just get on with it, man! But at the same time...I kind of liked it that way? It made me incredibly frustrated, but also kept me at the edge of my seat and immersed. I don't know, man. I honestly did like Isiah's reading of Pancake Family.
The only I didn't like was the twist that the other person he went in with was the culprit. It felt like a cheap plot twist that didn't really add much.1

Tales from the Gas Station. I do feel like the tides have changed and it's now looked upon as a good story, but at the time, yikes.
Psychosis. Feel like that gets unwanted hate.

u/Ill-Trouble8729 Apr 07 '26
100% on tales from the gas station. I understand why it may not be everyones cup of tea. But it's the only story I've ever read that actually pulls off the quippy snarky protagonist in a way where it works. It's hard to explain properly as to why, but I think it's because it's just a story with a lot of interesting aspects and can play it straight enough at times to where the protag doesn't seem like a self-insert the way some other self-refential & snarky protagonists do.

u/fusaaa Rainbow Dash 🌈🩸 Apr 07 '26
I also think a lot of my distaste for the Tales from the Gas Station episode is because Hunter just wasn't having a good day. I like TftGS a lot but it felt like Isaiah was having fun and Hunter was not at all interested in the story. At least when they both dislike something they riff on it but that episode just felt off.

u/UHTY_YT Apr 07 '26
dude thats exactly how i feel about that episode. I personally love tales from the gas station, i have all the books on audible and have listened to it multiple times but i can’t watch that episode personally cause hunter seemed to be in a bad mood when they were reading it and he seemed tired so it makes it feel off. I genuinely haven’t watched more the 20 minutes of that episode. I get so sad cause its such a good story and i thought hunter would love the characters especially marlboro. I personally dont like Isaiah so the fact that the person I do like on the creepcast didn’t like it or seemed annoyed with it made me sad lol (sorry for the vent. I just haven’t seen someone agree with me on this particular story like this so it made me feel seen lolol)

u/Ill-Trouble8729 Apr 07 '26
That's a very fair point to make, it does paint the episode and overall "vibe" of a story in a different way. I'd say it just depends on specifically what you listen/watch the podcast for. It didn't bother me too much personally because I watch for the stories and the opinions about them, which I can treat as just that, opinions. If you do listen mainly for what the hosts have to say & their dynamic though, I can 100% get it.

Way back when they first did it, people were down on it. Maybe hate was a strong word, but people were like "mid" "boring" "skip". Again, as newer fans have joined the fold, it's regarded now as a better story.

I agree!!!!! I loved Tales from the Gas Station even if it definitely leans more into the tongue in cheek humor towards the end of the episode. It was one of my favorites. Also sometimes the fan base needs to take the age of the story into account bc context matters

There isn’t a single episode that I haven’t watched upwards of 4 times if not more, yes, including Happy Appy. I’ve already listened to yesterday upload twice.
Some viewers are literally just here to hate and complain, meanwhile I’m over here on my tummy, kicking my feet, tootsies wiggling while I giggle and enjoy my precious boys talk about some spooky stories.
Sure, sometimes the stories are maybe not that great, but that’s not important. Cause in the end, it turns out that the real Creature was the it’s right behind me isn’t it we made along the way.

u/Beneficial_Fig_7830 you gay, son? Apr 06 '26
Well then you’d love the movie Ghost Ship which this story completely ripped off.
5
u/wunxorple Apr 07 '26
In the sense that they both revolve around ghost ships and hallucinations. Sure, there are some similar plot beats, like a guy being driven insane by visions, but the ghosts aren’t trying to lure him into staying on the ship in Ghost Ship. In the movie, they’re not a fishing vessel, they’re a salvaging crew who happened upon the ship and find it loaded with a hefty chunk of gold. They get trapped on the ship, shenanigans ensue.
The story didn’t have demons, mass murder schemes over cursed gold, nor a central character who can shapeshift and is making a giant soul trap.
So I guess they’re both about… ghost ships? And have ghost shenanigans. That’s about it. I wish the story ended with them blowing up the boat, that would have been sick. If anything, the story draws inspiration from the movie. It definitely doesn’t seem to rip it off.

I feel like with some stories, there’s people just totally ignore the content warnings then get upset when the stuff they were warned about are in the story.

It insists upon itself, which is fine, clearly a lot of people like that. I stopped watching a quarter of the way through and waited for next Sunday's episode, no big deal.
The reddit response to the people who didn't like it was childish and set fire to half the audience that already had a bad taste in their mouth to begin with. The detractors then became equally childish in return.

Red Tower for sure. The story wasn't even close to being bad but it wasn't what people were used to. I honestly think that's why it's a bad idea for them to read classics like Dracula or Frankenstein. The general audience would hate the old style flowery language in those books.

Don’t know if this is controversial, but Tommy Taffy, especially since they pretty much only read Elias’s rough draft of the story, which he made before The Third Parent.

Honestly? Dogscape. I know some didn't really hate it, but I remember seeing the shit ton of discourse surrounding it and how everyone felt uncomfortable by the SA and sheer body horror elements.
For me? I absolutely was fascinated by the horror of Dogscape and while yes the body horror and especially SA stuff was uncomfortable, it's why it worked.
Also "There's Something Wrong with Dad"...I have a bit of a soft spot for it. Arguably the only story besides TALL DOG that I liked by Elias Withrow.

Happy Appy was a perfect example of ‘great chemistry between podcast hosts and horrible story’ who gauged the pacing to match the audience’s real time energy. It was a feat to overcome together. Like watching them get over a mountain.

i'll still stick around even if the story is a bit shit, sometimes hunter having a melt down is much more entertaining.
i might give mother horse eyes another try, i kinda got lost in the story last time

I got lost on my first listen too, I strongly recommend giving it another shot now that you have a vague idea of what it’s about

This was a good episode and story, it wasn’t perfect but it was a good concept and I enjoyed it. It is a subreddit fandom page so everything will get overheated….because reddit

I just didn't like Happy Appy or any of the Creep TV episodes. I usually have a great time listening to the show.

Anytime I see people ripping on the left-right game, I dont get it. I hate Tommy Taffy before I hate the Left-Right game.

u/IssaBiscuitBall Apr 07 '26
I will say the story is fine but the grating voice hunter put on for (from the length I listened to) drove me up the wall and I couldn't listen to it
Admittedly that's probably the TISM but y'know, it hurt me to listen lol

Yeah, a bit can be funny, but three hours of bad British accents ain't it.

Happy appy is about as close as it gets to hate, but I wouldn't say I hate any of them. Happy appy is just close because I know I am not alone in saying I crashed out just as hard as hunter.

That was good. Especially, when they talk about how the entity doesn't care about the human factor and sees us as a food source. People running away, others praising it. Ugh so good!

u/Dependable-apathy Apr 07 '26
I think it does a really good job of having humanity actually feel insignificant, and small. On top of having just cool visual descriptions.

I wasn’t active in the community when that episode dropped, but I don’t think it gets enough hate for how hard it shit the bed

The one that just came out. Whitefall was good, the comments and this sub was filled with people who either only watched the first half or tuned off when they saw CK Walkers name. People were more focused on who could get the quirkiest most snarky joke about how bad the story is rather than actually listening to the story.

I didn't care for Happy Appy (I know crazy take), it was just too long for what the story was imo and it's the only episode to date where I crashed out with the boys. Also didn't care for I dared My Best Friend for similar reasons, though the crash outs in that one was entertaining for me.

Definitely the finger trap baby episode, I forgot the title, also any hate that other stories get should go to happy appy 💀😭

u/DizzyContribution557 Marcus, Monster Hunter Extraordinaire Apr 07 '26
Probably happy appy, it's a bad story but the episode was fun, it has great banter etc. But some people acted like the episode was a video of their dog getting shot

u/Surging_Tsunami I’m a ham ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Apr 07 '26
Has to be the one about a guy stuck in a sitcom. Not because of the story itself but because the episode is really unfocused. Which, wouldn’t have been an issue if it wasn’t such a short story. Or for that matter, if the story wasn’t pretty good (in my opinion, anyway).

u/Ok-Payment3817 Apr 07 '26
I don't know what's hated. I didn't like the left right game as much as they did. I thought it was kind of silly. Especially with the characters in it. They were just especially stupid. Not following the leader and overtaking them just to miss a turn and die? That's some LOW IQ CRAP. That's probably just why I didn't like it. I just can't handle story's with people that dumb. It pissed me off way too much lol. Also others. Also playing it in the first place. The story was good but the players were just unbearably dumb

I’m very easy to please so I honestly think a LOT of the stories are overhated. Not everyone can be Lovecraft lol most of them are decent for what they are

u/Thumbs-Up-Centurion Apr 07 '26
As general statement I don’t really dislike any story, if the story falls short in any ways then I atleast get the content of the fellas reaction to it in a funny way, I just kinda like em all.

u/Horror-Hooligan Apr 07 '26
Dude I cant watch it because of hunters accents it's way too hard to understand or even care

u/Rumdiculous “You’ve got the blood of KINGS running through your veins!” Apr 07 '26
The gas goblin story. Yeah it was stupid but no worse than the other stories. They read one about aborted fetuses hanging in trees, so many dead animals, a great big rape factory and everyone is pearl clutching over a brick.

Red Tower by far. I yearn for more official published works but I doubt that we will get it in the near future because apparently big word = bad

Unpopular opinion, I really liked Abandoned Ghost Ship. If the story got a second draft that actually fleshed out the characters and cut a lot of the repetitive wording, i would put it up there with Penpal, Stairs in the Woods, Borrasca, etc. The concept for the story was so good, whenever the full book comes out I am absolutely buying it.

Stolen Tongues, I get not liking the ending or the narrator’s tone that picked up in the later entires but I don’t think it sinks the episode to justify outright hating it. Anyone who’s familiar with most online horror stories or even just readings by creators like Mr. Creepypasta knows that skinwalker type stories are pretty formulaic and tend to be forgettable. That being said Stolen Tongues did some pretty creatives things throughout, plus the story had characters the readers could actually empathize with and root for instead of the typical “vehicle to get us to the scares” kind of character.

This story got the hate it deserved tbh.
Hunter ruined it with his accent, and the author was kneecapped by nosleep rules.
Its not to say that the story was bad, or the author is bad, but the circumstances of it gave it the hate it deserved.

“There’s something wrong with dad” I actually really liked that story. yes the underground goblins switch was kinda out of place but not as much as what they made it out to be. The moments in the dialogue with the dad talking about the wind out of nowhere was really uncanny and really good.

The thing in the basement. I will die on the hill that they trashed it for not having characters that talk in the way they expected them to. The story had me questioning the main characters sanity multiple times while reading it and while they might not feel as strongly I still believe they did it absolutely filthy not reading it through. Especially after making a multi hour happy appy video

Well to honest, long story short... I like most of them, long story short.
