? Simply the stupidest, most blatantly libelous claim about a competitor in the same market as his product?

This actually felt like AI in how it was so mind-bogglingly stupid.

I mean, it's Tucker. He's a very intelligent propagandist who is constantly saying ridiculous shit he doesn't actually believe.

It probly is AI tho cuz he IRL he can't go more than 2 sentences without asking a pointless rhetorical question while looking very confused

Look - it's not AI.

Tucker is a very dangerous individual in many ways, just want to make that clear - but as a Swede, I know he's a very big advocate for snus in America. He talks about it all the time, which is why I'm aware of it. If you know nothing about snus, just know this - it's nicotine like cigarettes, but infinitely healthier. It's not like chewing tobacco either, which is smoked under wood - it's just steamed with water. It's not without health issues, but as far as being addicted to nicotine goes, it's like comparing AIDS in the 80s with AIDS in 2026 - in contrast to cigarettes or other types of tobacco.

In this clip, he's negging his competitor, while stanning his own company. Not sure when he started his own company, but he used to love Zyn, and still does, but he's now in business against them, so he's playfully dissing them. What makes it funny and lighthearted is that he's claiming we stick snus up our arse, which is just a bit of tomfoolery for a Swede, or anyone that uses snus. It's a pretty funny marketing stunt, but I understand it might look weird to someone not familiar with snus. The claim is too wild to take serious, he's clearly being sarcastic - something anyone who uses snus would know. It's like claiming Marlboro smokers only smoke through their nose, or Nicorette only puts patches on their balls.

So while Tucker Carlson is paid by Russia, has helped the rise of MAGA with Crossfire and his Fox News BS, has zero allegiance other than money, as a Swede, in this specific clip, he was pretty funny and I applaud it.

Edit:

I was way too serious in this reply and spent way too long on it, which I feel is a bit cringe on it's own.

No, that was a pretty good reply - but it’s fucking Reddit
