That Guy With the Glasses.

I don't understand why people think that yelling is humor.

This Guy? (Who isn't real... sadly)




I think this is hilarious. I'd recommend the Star Wars prequel reviews.

What, you don't like a good whinge once in awhile.

While I don't hate any youtuber, I really couldn't care less about the more popular youtubers (well... with a few exceptions). I just find their material bland.

HE is annoying on his own, but noone forces me to watch him, so generally its fine. However, you just cant avoid his huge group of Fanboys. Its so annoying if im watching my own pack of LPs, and every now and then some idiot in the comment accuses the player of "Copying" Pewdie by playing a game he played allready.

Or god forbid you mention somewhere that you dont like Pew or his Videos, it will only take minutes for the horde of Troglodytes that is his fanbase to arrive and tear everything apart.

This. I heard mention of how he's got the most popular channel, so I looked into. I was incapable if finding a single redeeming quality about his videos, and I find the way he talks detestable. Walked away from that with nothing but odium towards the people that worship him.

Never heard of him before so I thought I'd see just how bad he could be. I lasted 29 seconds of his Cards Against Humanity video

He actively gaks all over his own fans, he's awful at video games her tries to play and hes a massive hypocrite.

He played WoW for 7 years always complaining it was to easy. The next patch were they ramp up the difficulty? He quits because its to hard.

He's also "Fake" British, he lives in the USA

Ha! Someone else doesn't like him thought i was alone. As i said above i like alot of his videos but have largely stopped watching them recently as the man was starting to infringe on the content. Using the new comments as stealth way to disable them was the last straw for me so i unsubscribed. He shouldn't bite the hand that feeds (fans) so viciously, it's unbecoming and behavior that has repercussions.

I would agree that he's fake British lol, you can tell because he calls 'Computer Games', 'Video Games'. (I'm not saying either is better btw, don't even try).

I'm glad to meet other people who share my views.

Someone that hates mainstream things, generally wear 'retro' stylish clothes (look like a young college professor, or someone that never quite got their clothes dirty enough during the Grunge era), drinks PBR, and 'liked things before they were cool'

Maybe he's a hipster hipster...
He was a hipster before hipsters found it cool...
My god...

Also typically sports the following accessories;
Anything made by Apple
Starbucks coffee cup
Thick rimmed glasses (regardless as to whether they actually need glasses)

I don't understand youtube culture at all. There are millions of people who literally do nothing but watch youtube videos and post inane comments that no one reads. I know a few of these people, and they're insufferable losers who just spout commentaries and youtube "memes" all day.

I guess there are worse things you could be doing with your time though.

Thanks for the definition!

In that case, no I'm not a hipster. Looks like I went a little overboard with the hyperbole again. Let me try this again.
While I don't hate any youtuber, there are some of the more popular youtubers that I never really enjoyed because I found their material kind of bland. Not all of them but several. Sorry for my over exaggeration.

Most people don't garner hatred from me, for example, I don't like Pewds, but I just avoid him and it seems like the fanboys have backed off a little bit.

But DSP, that moron did not understand the first thing about playing MGS3, and criticized the game when it was blindingly obvious what to do. Heck, during the "The End" fight, he got a codex call telling him strategies to fight The End, which he skipped and told the game to "shut the F* up," then proceeded to spend a ridiculous amount of time screwing up during the fight and whining about how the game doesn't tell you what to do in the situation.

It was physically painful to watch, and the main reason I know about it is because some brave soul put together a compilation of DSP screwing up in MGS3. It was hilarious, but sad and painful.

While I hesitate to call it 'hate' I admit I have a growing weariness of personalities such as TotalBiscuit and Spoony.

Now don't get me wrong, I still love most of their content, but what I am tiring of is the personalities themselves. For the most part, ego and dedication to the angry reviewer character has pretty much made all of their communication bloat with those aspects. I'm no longer interested in following them because, more or less, all you can expect out of them is an outpouring of ego, negativity or outright hostility.

And this is not some bash on all negative reviews, but it is, at its heart, something more I am wanting as a person. I can only stomach so much ego bloat and lashing out at people online simply because they can. Heaven help you if you respond to a Spoony tweet with anything other than praise, else you'll not only get mocked by him, but no doubt his fans eager to emulate him. Granted, fans are not something I ever blame on a youtuber. But it happens.

It's the reason why I am liking Pewdiepie more and more. Yes, I totally admit that his style is something that, too, can only be taken so much of and that I get if someone doesn't like it. But at least the image he presents is someone who is not so caught up in the anger that online review and play has become. Now it could be a front (I don't know the guy), but at least he comes across as someone with more positive and humble aspirations. In short, going off of the presented personas, I'd much rather want to hang out and get to know Pewdiepie rather than TB or Spoony.

Eh, I don't mind Pewds, he's far from my favourite YouTuber but he's one of the few I still watch semi-regularly. The only series watch him do solo is his Walking Dead series, less of him swearing like all hell (well, only a bit less...) and more feel, plus the Walking Dead games are great to watch.

God forbid his Dark Souls series, watched one episode because I was bored and instantly stopped watching...


However, I can't stand most vlogger YouTubers, like iJustine and all that... I don't hate them, I just find their content boring and annoying.

Hmm... I thought the link was working.

Try looking up happy video game nerd.

Ah yes, I have watched him a but. He's pretty good, though (as with many things) i can only get so much in a sitting.

Right now, the youtubers I enjoy watching are the Rooster Teeth guys, Pewdiepie, Lucahjin and I've lately been nibbling some of Marikiplier, though I've yet to set an opinion on him yet.

I detest anything Pewdiepie makes. It's just plain awefull in my eyes. Somehow his videos still menage to get onto my Youtube frontpage because it thinks Achievement Hunter/Roosterteeth videos and podcast videos are in anyway related to that abomination. I hope he get's kicked off the #1 place of youtube soon, that'll make his awefull fanbase shut it.

Once upon a time I couldn't stand Jesse Cox and Crendor, but over time I've gotten used to their styles. Crendor's most recent video on the Polaris Deadliest Warrior/Chivalry free-for-all was hilarious.

Those are rather large misrepresentations of the truth.

How does that make him 'fake'? He's from Northern England. He is British. Why does where he lives change that at all? Yahtzee is English, and lives in Australia. Jim Stirling is English, and lives in America. Are they "fake" British as well? How does one "fake" being British?

Uhg.... I'm with ya. I've only watched maybe 2 or 3 of his vids and just instantly hated his content. Also, one reviewer, I can't think of his name, but I hate the guy because no matter what, Nintendo is junk and everything they make is even bigger junk.

I'm having an 'old guy' moment as I have no idea who any of these youtubers are.

The second 'old guy' moment is being happy about the first one.

The fat guy that bangs on about issues concerning men in an overly aggressive way . I saw him banging on about some american chat show where some woman laughed at a guy getting his penis cut off. If he could do his videos in a clear factual matter I might give him a listen, all i get now is he had a bad divorce or something.
He is an embarrassment.

That'd be the Amazing Atheist.

As for my least favorite youtuber, Pewdiepie takes the cake. I just don't understand how someone who derives the entirety of their humor from screaming obnoxiously and making rape jokes can be so popular.

Yeah, he seems like a humourless gakker.

Hate is a strong word since I don't have to watch any of them if I don't want to. That being said if I had to pick it'd be Pewdiepie. Not necessarily because of his presentation (loud obnoxious idiots are a dime dozen) but more so the fact that he's so hugely popular just breaks my brain.

Here's a 'Youtuber' i love just to wash away some of the Negativity (some of it on my part) of this thread.

His material covers similar ground to the Nostalgia Critic but he does it without the dumb yelling and has a real knowledge and insight into Film-making. He also adds his own trailers at the beginning of each retrospective which are beautifully edited and actually better than the trailers the studios produced.

His videos aren't really reviews in my opinion but he does cover every aspect of the productions.

It would be a real boost to me if you would watch a few of his videos and leave a couple likes or maybe even subscribe as he is a great guy and defo not in youtube for the money. (Any ads on the vids are not his)
