(Redirected from Sean Reiley)

'Sean Reiley' (born June 15, 1976), better known by his nickname 'Seanbaby', is an American writer best-known for his comedy website. The site began as a personal homepage while he was studying for his Bachelor's of Art degree in Art at the University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho. He continued to expand the page since moving to Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California. Updates had been infrequent in recent years, but as of 2006 he has made considerable new modifications to the website.
According to the March 5, 2007 episode of the EGM Live
★ podcast, the name "Seanbaby" originated when an excitable female acquaintance would refer to him as "Sean, baby!".

Seanbaby's original website houses many reviews of old video games, a substantial section on the old ''Super-Friends'' cartoon, critiques on old DC comics, a collection of Hostess Pie ads (with commentary), sarcastic commentary on Christian fundamentalists and hipsters, poorly translated English, reviews of bad movies and comics, ineffective or overblown self-defense techniques, current events, and a photo gallery of himself with friends. Cynicism and (often profane) ridicule are the norm on the site, but his fans praise what they call a keen, satirical insight.
One of the most famous moments in his website's history occurred when Seanbaby created a section to lampoon letters that appeared in early issues of ''Nintendo Power''. One of the targets was an East Lyme, Connecticut man named 'Mark Discordia' (chosen because, despite being in his mid-30s at the time he wrote to the magazine, appeared to have a child-like appreciation of the Nintendo Entertainment System). A man purporting to be Discordia began a flame war with Seanbaby, which was highlighted by the man's outlandish claims of affluence, promiscuity and illegal drug usage.
Seanbaby is an avid admirer of Mr. T, Gus Ball, Lynda Carter, Rudy Ray Moore, Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Bruce Campbell. He also helped bring James H. Vipond and Miguel of Fat Chicks in Party Hats into the public consciousness, although some have speculated that "Miguel" is just a Seanbaby pseudonym. Seanbaby has claimed that Lowtax from Something Awful mimicked the Fat Chicks in Party Hats concept.
Seanbaby has collaborated on several projects with Erik from Old Man Murray. He is known for the often-changing color of his hair.
