Million Dollar Extreme
American comedy group
Million Dollar Extreme (MDE) is an American sketch comedy troupe, founded by comedians Sam Hyde, Nick Rochefort, and Charls Carroll in 2009.
The group had an eleven-minute sketch show on the Adult Swim network named Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace, which was cancelled after one season following controversy surrounding Hyde's connections to the alt-right. The group's YouTube channel was permanently banned in 2018 for violating the website's community guidelines. A ban on the group's subreddit on Reddit followed a few months later, as the subreddit was a major outlet for users sharing white supremacist and white nationalist content.
YouTube channel
Million Dollar Extreme started out making sketch comedy videos on their YouTube channel, which David Weigel described as "absurdist" and "transgressive", often centering around themes mocking political correctness. Sam Hyde's monologues, recorded on his iPhone, were also a staple for video content on the channel.
Hyde also performed numerous public pranks that he uploaded to the MDE YouTube channel. In 2013, Hyde delivered a fake TEDx talk titled "2070 Paradigm Shift" at Drexel University.
The troupe had various issues with online terms of service violations due to their content and fanbase. Their first ban from YouTube was in 2013, although the group continued to post online videos on several related YouTube channels after the initial ban.
