    Honestly when they first launched Channel Super Fun while at the Langley house they really were acting more like a fraternity than like employees at a company sponsored event (and I’ve been to some interesting company-sponsored events with virtually unlimited free alcoholic drinks and none have concerned me as much for the company culture as LTT’s early channel super fun videos)

    They also really harassed Dennis a lot, to the point where he, not yet a citizen of the country he’s on a work visa in, looked close to tears and seemed to not be enjoying it. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen him in any videos for quite a while, so I wonder if he bounced as soon as he got Canadian citizenship…

      Wouldn’t he have got citizenship ages ago? I thought he transitioned to a sponsor-focused role. I know he was in sponsor spots for a while but I block those so don’t know if he still is, but his Twiiter bio lists him as still being LTT sponsor creative lead.

        I was honestly mostly thinking out loud. I can’t remember when I last saw him in a video, and I don’t know how long it takes for a Canadian work visa to translate into citizenship so I was really just guessing based on no evidence.

        And I’m talking about 10+ year old videos that may or may not still be up for when he wasn’t a citizen yet, because that was when they were teasing him for not owning anything yet because he just moved to the country
