Really Stupid?

Sorta Stupid is a reaction crew. We watch movies, TV, anime, trailers and games on camera with live commentary from the whole crew, sometimes as first-time watches and sometimes as rewatches and deep dives.

We also make original entertainment projects and stream on Twitch.

The schedule shows what’s releasing this week and what’s already gone up.

Fair warning: the schedule is always subject to change.

Sorta Stupid
PO Box 1649
Manchaca, TX 78652

Please don’t send anything perishable, or anything that’s been sitting in your closet that you’ve been wanting to get rid of. Anything stinky, smelly, funky, or moldy does not get included in the video.

Anyone can browse the fan art wall, and logged-in members can submit right on the page. It posts instantly, with no approval wait.

Every artist gets their own portfolio page, so all your submissions collect in one place under your name. You’ll also see a “Fan art from the Billy Army” carousel on the homepage.

Two tiers on the website. Both can be paid monthly or yearly, and yearly includes one free month.

Gold Billy: $10/month
– Full-length TV show reactions
– Full-length movie reactions
– Bonus episodes
– Gold member role in Discord
– 1 vote per month on what we react to next

Diamond Billy: $20/month
– Everything in Gold
– Earliest access to all content
– Diamond member role in Discord
– 2 votes per month on what we react to next

Every website membership also includes:

• Both cuts of every reaction on one page: the full-length Website Cut and the shorter YouTube Cut, on tabs
• Collectible badges to display on the forum, and a Badge Book to collect them in
• Continue Watching on the homepage, with progress bars that pick up where you left off
• My Watch Later, to save anything you want to get to
• Liked videos
• Comments on videos across the site
• The full schedule, tagged by tier

View the tiers and join.

Full-length, unedited reactions: the complete watch-along, with all the live commentary intact. YouTube only ever gets a shortened version.

You also get the YouTube Cut early, before it goes public.

And everything in the list above (badges, voting, Watch Later, Continue Watching, comments) is website only.

Same reactions. Lower price. Extra perks you can’t get anywhere else.

The Sorta Stupid Membership gives you the exact same viewing experience as Patreon or YouTube, for less money, and more of your support goes to the crew instead of the platform.

Website members also get things Patreon and YouTube members can’t:

• Collectible badges and your Badge Book
• Votes on what we react to next
• Continue Watching, My Watch Later, and comments

This isn’t us holding back. Patreon and YouTube have API limitations that make badges and voting impossible on those platforms. The only way to get them is a website membership.

⏳ The Legacy Badge. Have an active website membership before Sunday, August 23 at 11:59 PM PST and the Legendary-rarity Legacy Badge is yours, a thank you for being with us through the first few months of the new membership system. Patreon and YouTube memberships don’t qualify. Once the deadline passes, it can never be earned again.

If you switch, read the signup steps below. The email you use matters.

New members

1. Go to the memberships page.
2. Choose Gold or Diamond, monthly or yearly, and click Join.
3. Enter your information and payment method.
4. Finish creating your account. You’ll be taken to your Account Dashboard.

Existing Patreon or YouTube members

The steps are the same, with one important detail:

Use the same email address as your current website account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay often have a different email attached, and they’ll submit that one at checkout. When that happens, a second website account is created. Your membership goes on the new account while your watch history, badges and liked videos stay on the original one.

If you’re paying with Apple Pay or Google Pay, check the email on the checkout screen before confirming.

Caption: this is what it looks like. Apple filled in a relay address of its own, not the email on your Sorta Stupid account. Tap Contact to change it before you pay.

Then:

4. Log in to complete registration using your existing sortastupid.net account. If you don’t have a password, use the Login via link button or reset it.
5. Cancel your Patreon or YouTube membership. These don’t cancel automatically, so you’d be paying for both.

If you already have two accounts, there’s a fix page that takes about two minutes.

Click your username in the top right, then My account → Manage Membership Account.

From there you can:
– View and change your subscription
– Download payment receipts
– Update the name, email and password on your membership
– Cancel

Under Manage Membership Account → Subscriptions. Every payment receipt is available to download there.

All subscription payments are final and nonrefundable. You can cancel at any time and keep access through the end of the period you’ve paid for.

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. After that, member videos lock and your Discord role is removed.

Your account stays active. Liked videos, badges, forum posts and order history are all still there if you rejoin.

Yes. Go to Manage Membership Account → Subscriptions and change your plan. Upgrades apply immediately; downgrades take effect at your next renewal.

Click your profile picture in the top right. You’ll get:

• My account: your member details, membership level, and the buttons to manage your membership and connect YouTube or Patreon
• My Watch Later: everything you’ve saved to watch
• Badges: your Badge Book and collection
• Log out

Your level shows next to your name on the button itself.

My account shows:

• Member Details: your username and the email on file, plus a “Wrong email?” link if it needs fixing
• Sorta Stupid Membership Account: your current membership level and the button to manage it
• Connect YouTube Account
• Connect Patreon Account
• Liked videos, recent orders, addresses and payment options

Your membership level is displayed here, which makes this the quickest way to confirm your membership is active.

Go to My account → Account.

You can update your name, email address, password, shipping and billing addresses, and payment options. Save when you’re finished.

Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. You can fix this yourself in about two minutes.

This happens when a membership is purchased under a different email than the one on your original website account, usually because Apple Pay or Google Pay submitted a different address. The result is two accounts: the membership on one, your watch history and badges on the other.

Go to the fix page →

There are two steps:

1. Update your membership email so it matches your original website account.
2. Disconnect the incorrect account. One button logs you out, removes the connection and returns you to the login screen. Sign back in with your original email and the accounts are linked.

Step 2 only appears when you’re logged into the newer account, the one the membership was created on. If you don’t see it, log into that account.

Click Log In, then use Login via link. It emails you a sign-in link, so no password is needed. You can also reset your password normally.

If the email doesn’t arrive, check your spam folder, then try the address your membership is under. It isn’t always the same one.

Use whichever account your membership is on.

• Joined through the website? Click Log In in the upper right, then Log in with Sorta Stupid Membership. Enter the email address on your membership, and your password or the login code we email you.
• Joined through Patreon or YouTube? Use the matching button on the same screen. Steps for both are below.

No password set? Use Login via link and we will email you a sign-in link instead.

Either way you land on your Account Dashboard.

1. Go to Manage Membership Account.
2. Find Discord and click to connect.
3. Approve the permissions Discord requests.

You don’t need to join the server first. Authorizing adds you to the Discord and assigns your Gold or Diamond role at the same time.

If the role doesn’t appear after a few minutes, quit Discord completely and reopen it. Roles usually apply on the next launch.

Twitch roles come through Discord rather than the website.

1. Join our Discord.
2. Click the gear icon (User Settings) at the bottom left.
3. Select Connections.
4. Click the Twitch icon and follow the prompts to link your account.

Give it a few minutes for the role to apply. This same method also works for YouTube members who would rather link through Discord than on the site.

1. Click the Log In icon in the upper right of sortastupid.net.
2. Click Log in with Patreon.
3. Enter your Patreon email and password.
4. When asked whether Sorta Stupid can view your Patreon information and email address, click Allow. We can’t verify your tier without it.

Your Patreon membership needs to be active for the connection to work.

When Patreon bills you depends on when you joined. Most members are charged on the day they joined, then monthly on that same date. If you’ve been with us since before Patreon switched us to subscription billing, you’re still charged on the 1st of each month instead.

Before you start:

• Your YouTube account needs a channel. That’s how we identify your membership. If you don’t have one, click your YouTube avatar and select Create a channel.
• Check every permission box during the Google sign-in. Google splits these across the screen, and a missed one will stop the connection from completing.

If you already have a sortastupid.net account:

1. Log in as usual.
2. On your My account page, click Connect YouTube.
3. Go through the Google sign-in. Google may default to a different account than you expect, so select the YouTube account and channel that holds the membership.
4. Allow all permissions.
5. You’ll return to sortastupid.net with YouTube connected. From then on you can use Login with YouTube.

If you’re new to the site:

1. Go to sortastupid.net and click Login with YouTube.
2. Complete the Google sign-in with the correct channel and all permissions.
3. Your account is created and YouTube is connected.

There are two buttons on your My account page:

• If your membership information is missing, or you’ve changed your YouTube membership level, click Sync Existing YouTube Membership Level.
• If you connected the wrong YouTube account, click Disconnect YouTube, then reconnect using the steps above.

Try these in order:

1. Check you’re logged in. Your username appears in the top right when you are.
2. Check your membership is active. My account shows your level. If it’s blank or wrong, that’s the cause.
3. On YouTube? Click Sync Existing YouTube Membership Level.
4. Two accounts? This is the most common cause. Use the fix page.
5. Hard refresh with Ctrl+Shift+R, or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac.

If none of that works, open a support ticket through Ask Billy, the help bot in the corner of every page, and we’ll take a look.

Votes are the only thing that counts. Website members earn votes for every month of membership: Gold earns 1, Diamond earns 2. You spend them on the Recommend page.

Yearly plans get their votes up front, doubled: 13 across the year on Gold, 26 on Diamond.

Votes stack and roll over, so you can save them up and put as many as you want on a single pick. Tallies are private. Only we see them.

The forum is for discussion, not requests. Posting in the Series or Movie Recommendations boards doesn’t affect what we watch. Those boards exist so you can make your case and convince other members to spend their votes on something you want. That’s their whole purpose.

Recommendation spam in the comments or on the forum isn’t allowed and will get you banned from commenting.

Badges and voting aren’t available to Patreon or YouTube members. Those platforms’ APIs don’t support it.

There are four tiers across all our platforms: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond.

Gold and Diamond are only offered on the website, because we can price them lower here than other platforms allow.

What each tier gets:

• Diamond: everything, at the earliest release. Movies and episodes.
• Gold: everything Diamond gets, movies and episodes, just later.
• Silver: episodes only, released at the same time Gold receives them. No movie access.
• Bronze: first episodes only, a week after they release to Silver.

After that, the shortened YouTube cut goes public.

Every item on the schedule is tagged with the tier that can watch it.

Copyright. A full watch-along gets removed or has its revenue claimed by the studio, so the video effectively disappears.

YouTube gets the shortened version, and members get the complete one.

If a video suddenly disappears from YouTube, it most likely got hit with a copyright claim. When that happens we either keep it on the website only, or we’re working on getting it cleared.

Every reaction post has two versions, on tabs under the player.

• Website Cut is the full-length reaction, complete and uncut. This is the one you came for.
• YouTube Cut is the shorter public edit.

Members can watch either, and get the YouTube Cut before it goes public.

Submit a bug report through Ask Billy, the help bot in the corner of every page. Include the name of the post and what you’re watching on: browser, phone or TV app.

The forum has boards for most of what we’ve covered, and we’re adding and adjusting them all the time.

The main areas:

• Announcements: the important stuff. Every announcement pings your notification bell, and the big ones go out by email
• Sorta Stupid News: weekly schedules and discussion
• Reaction Requests & Voting: discussion boards where you make your case for what others should vote on
• Anime & Manga, Series, Movies, Gaming: per-show boards for episode discussion
• Boards for our other projects: Billy Ends The World, Half Baked Takes, Macabre Meditation
• General Chat, Introductions, Memes & Media

If you’re new, Introductions is a good place to start.

Most of our community discussion ends up in Discord. It’s also where announcements and updates land first.

Worth joining even if you never post. Plenty of people are there just to keep up.

Members get a Gold or Diamond role that unlocks member-only channels. Here’s how to link it.

Badges are collectibles for website members, and they’re a new addition.

How you earn them

• Forum badges, earned by taking part in the forum. This is a new set, and it’s the one you can work on right now no matter how long you’ve been a member
• A new set unlocks for every month you’ve been subscribed, starting with the Ice Cream Crew, then The Ducks
• Watching milestones, for videos and hours watched
• Completionist badges for finishing whole seasons
• Explorer badges for checking out our side channels

Showing them on the forum

Pick any 4 from your collection and they’ll display next to your name on every post you make. You can swap which 4 are showing whenever you want.

Your Badge Book

Everything you collect lives in your Badge Book, laid out set by set so you can flip through the whole collection. Find it under your profile menu → Badges, or at sortastupid.net/badges.

Badges are in beta. The system will go through changes while we work out a badge and trading system that fits the community, so expect things to shift. We’re watching your feedback closely.

At sortastupid.net/shop.

In stock right now: stickers, and Billy Ends the World comic issues, currently on sale while stock lasts.

Apparel is between drops, so the store is a little under construction while we build the next line. Sign up there for notifications and you’ll know the moment it goes live.

Up to a 2-week production time, depending on how much is in your order.

We’re a very small team and everything is made in house, so please be patient with us. Timing can shift with order volume, recent launches, holidays, illness and everything else that comes with a small operation.

Every order includes a tracking number.

US shipping is free on orders over $100. Below that, shipping is calculated at checkout based on size and destination.

We ship worldwide. International delivery times depend on your country’s postal service once the package leaves the US.

Fill out a support ticket with your order number, the name on the order, and the email used on the order. Photos help.

Fill out a support ticket with your order number, the name on the order, and the email used on the order.

For a wrong address, get the ticket in before the order ships and we can usually correct it. Once it’s with the carrier, rerouting isn’t possible.

• Sorta Stupid: the main channel. Movies, binges and hype releases.
• Sorta Stupid 2: the YouTube cuts, released in the same order they go up on the website. Everything that isn’t a movie, binge or hype release lands here.
• Sorta Stupid Games: full playthroughs, first-time runs and group party games.

• Half Baked Takes: video essays on animation and pop culture.
• Macabre Meditation: horror movies, creepypastas, unsolved cases, and the weird internet rabbit holes.

The whole crew streams regularly on their own channels:

• twitch.tv/sortastupidbree
• twitch.tv/sortastupiderik
• twitch.tv/sortastupidruff
• twitch.tv/sortastupidsean

twitch.tv/sortastupidcrew is now just for group events.

You can also watch every stream at once on the site’s Live tab, switching between streams and chats however you want.

Ask Ask Billy, the help bot in the corner of every page. It answers instantly, covers anything not listed here, and it’s where you open support tickets and bug reports.

When you open a ticket, it helps to include the email address on your membership (which may not be the one you’re writing from), what you were trying to do, and what happened instead.
