The fact that How To Basic has 2.5 million subscribers says a lot about people.
Weteachuhow2 is way better
the constant cycle from loving to hating that YouTube videos posted here get is hilarious

They're mindless and stupid.

It was funny for a few weeks, maybe.
But now it's just incredibly stale and repetitive.
Literally 3 days ago, a HowToBasic was posted and everybody loved it. A day before that, everybody hated it. I swear, with facepunch, if the humidity isn't right, the entire mood changes

Also, this is a perfect example of "If I don't like it, no one else can"

no. the difference is one of the videos was just "eggs smash lol" and the other one actually had thought put into it, was disturbing, and different from the others.
I just pretend he died any never made any videos with jump cuts or that shit, his old stuff was decent
[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;43202822]Something about the senseless smashing of eggs on misleading videos is incredibly appealing to me.[/QUOTE]How? There's literally nothing to them, you've seen one you've seen them all, no doubt his subscriber base is made up of a bunch of little kids who find his videos appealing because there's nothing to think about, nothing to pay attention to, it's just random mindless chaos in the form of a 1 minute video yet almost every single one of them has 1,000,000+ views.
Do you learn anything from his videos? No. Is there any thought put into them? Not really. Does he deserve to get paid for making these videos? Fuck no he doesn't. All he does is make a mess with food and then smash an egg at the end. Wow such creativity! Totally wasn't expecting that egg at the end.
Do I sound like an angry, bitter, or jealous? Maybe, but sorry if I like my YouTube videos with a bit more substance, effort and thought put into them, not just mindless drivel in order to cash in on stupid people (which he does very well I might add whilst at the same time obviously not giving a shit about his userbase, he's just using them for easy and quick cash because he knows no matter what's in the video, people will watch it, even though they're all the same shit).
Not to mention the fact that when people like [url=https://twitter.com/CharityCr1TiKaL]Cr1TiKaL[/url] can donate all the money he makes from YouTube to charity in addition to dealing with bullshit legal issues AND in addition to having not even a million subscribers, it begs the question, why can't this guy do the same?
Maybe instead of complaining you should do the same thing, at least you'll get revenue from shitty videos.
[QUOTE=Grindigo;43203228]Maybe instead of complaining you should do the same thing, at least you'll get revenue from shitty videos.[/QUOTE]Impossible when any video that's even slightly similar will be flagged by his legion of subscribers for copying him. Also someone on here [url=http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=351204]already tried that[/url] and it hasn't worked at all for him.

I think he's the most subscribed person in Australia or something

In this case it's kinda justified, though. I mean, the whole humor of the situation is that you don't expect him to throw eggs at stuff, especially with the first few seconds making it look like it's some kind of amateur video due to the leg shot and so on.
It's only natural it's funny the first time, but gets repetitive real fast. It's like watching the same thing every time.

The videos have gotten bit more predictable, and usually get straight to the egg smashing instead of having build up.
If you want to see a rapid mood change, post doge in LMAO Pics. They will either shower it in funnies, or scream for the rest of the page that it was never funny.
WeTeachUHow2 is still the best parody how to channel in my opinion.

Facepunch is not a person.
If you guys are infuriated by shit like this I suggest checking out [URL="http://www.youtube.com/user/alantutorial"]AlanTutorial[/URL]. It teaches you how to really do things right.

That's because everyone here is picky. If it's not unique or creative in some way, if one small detail seems repetitive, it's instantly terrible, boring or unfunny. Oh well, doesn't matter whether I or someone else thinks it's funny or not, everyone has different opinions(just don't be a dick about it, you don't like it, big fucking deal, go do something else then).

How to basic was funny the first, and maybe the second time. But after the 400th time its like wow, you've managed to destroy half the planets population of eggs. Congratulations, you're as bad as Hitler, and have simultaneously figured out how to run something into the ground before it even started.
why has no one mentione edatlin yet

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, it sometimes seems that facepunch randomly starts to hate something because of a "spark" in the form of someone being the first person to say something is bad in a vulnerable moment.
I'm just saying that in this case the complaints do in fact make sense.
[QUOTE=igamiwarr;43204358]Facepunch is not a person.[/QUOTE]
No, but it's filled with people that have similar characteristics, as seen when someone has a different opinion and they get covered in boxes
H2B's videos are pretty routine and redundant, but he's got a few good ones here and there.

What I do find really funny is how you took your time to write a 7 line comment about how your taste in videos is superior than his own and how he shouldn't enjoy what he does enjoy.

This guys seems mad.
I love these videos because even if i agree with them, it's hilarious to see someone care so fucking much over something so stupid.
