There are less than 300k people named Cody in the US

It's just not a very popular name

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

A disproportionate number of them become NFL quarterbacks. Who then end up playing for the Cleveland Browns, which kills them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

The real name of Youtuber Alternate History hub is Cody, and he is probably in his Thirty's by now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

My uncle's name is Cody, he is 39. Unfortunately no one has strangled him yet. 🤞

[–] [email protected] 19 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

That's because when they grow up it is no longer acceptable to use that nickname and they go by Codward instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

I thought it was Codsworth

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

That's an Irish name and it's pronounced "Doug".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

Cody's Showdy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Damn..the one Cody I knew committed suicide and it was before 34

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

No way a bloke on my street named Cody died in car accident at the ripe age of 33. Conspiracy is real. /s

[–] [email protected] 18 points 15 hours ago

I have a cousin named Cody... that I haven't seen since high school 🤔🤔🤔😯

live news person / world's hairiest seventh grader reaction

[–] [email protected] 14 points 18 hours ago

Turn out the only alive adult Cody is locked away in a room with only fox news and the communist Manifesto as info... For his safety of course

[–] [email protected] 23 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Cody's Showdy gets no respect.

I think it's consistently good occasionally great, and they crank out a lot of content (like besides weekly videos they do podcasts multiple times a week)

e; Oh, the show is called Some More News and the podcast is Even More News btw

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago

I was made aware of his stuff after one of his appearances on the Behind The Bastards podcast. Some More News is good stuff!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It's similar in terms of detail to Last Week Tonight but not as funny.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

It does get a lot more information and nuance though. Last week tonight only runs once a week. I don't know that Last Week Tonight cites all of their sources for each episode like Some More News does.

The few codys I've met all wound up in logistics and/warehousing

Isnt there a youtuber called codyslab? He looks pretty old.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

WhistlinDiesel is in his 20s too. Though portrays himself as having the intelligence of a 7th grader, so maybe that got him alived

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Uh, is that really a "portrayal"? Dude hangs out with Jake Paul.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Dude is a millionaire in his 20s and got there by destroying expensive cars he needs to buy first. He's got at least 2 businesses besides YouTube that he uses his videos to advertise for, because destroying increasingly expensive cars is not sustainable and he knows it.

I can't stand some of his recent videos either, but to call him stupid is definitely an overstatement. Not saying he's a genius, but he must have at least average intelligence to have gotten to where he is.

To the best of my knowledge, he didn't exactly grow up with money either. He was pretty poor when he started making videos

I had a friend named Cody who was a straight A student, changed schools in 7th grade, fell in with a bad group of kids, got into a car accident, fell into a coma, lost site in one eye, and now coaches snowboarding. Not dead, though

[–] [email protected] 14 points 22 hours ago

Not dead, though

Yes dead inside doesn’t count

[–] chrisbtoo 19 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

That's because Cody is short for Come On Die Young.

Wait what about Doctor Mister Cody?

[–] hperrin 12 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Warmbo is actually his bodyguard, and the corn cream is actually antidote.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago

Now we know why. It all makes sense. It's all a ploy to get his bodyguard paid in plain sight.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

Thought you were talking to me for a second

[–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

No no you are Mister doctor Cody

[–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago

omg I’m so embarrassed you’re right

I managed a Cody whom I called Codeine because he was a such a dope. 30ish, sold himself as a technician. In a car shop, pulled a ceiling mounted air hose over the left front fender to fill the rear tire, scratched the paint badly from the gritty hose. Left the bosses rolling stool under the alignment lift and heard plywood cracking as he lowered it, didn’t bother stopping until it was flat. Found out a week later he left the tierod nuts loose after adjustment. Left a flathead screwdriver in his back pocket and popped a hole in the customer seat. Worked one full day, sent home at lunch the next day with a full days pay, worth the price to get rid of him.

I was thinking that was dude's first month from the way you were describing it. One day?! He's like a walking condom advertisement!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 22 hours ago

Got a nickname like that in a day and a half.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

I knew a Cody grade but I don't have any memories of him after that. Theory checks out..m

[–] [email protected] 11 points 21 hours ago

Or switches to their middle name to avoid the shame of being "Cody."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

They usually change it back to Cod Liver Oil when they become adults

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

What about the tuna booze oil?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, Cody teaches jujitsu at my kids’ afterschool program and looks to be in his early 30’s.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

So you're going to need a replacement soon?
