What does everyone think about these Youtube channels? - General

I'm curious as to everyone's [B]opinion [/B]on Youtube channels; I see some people who despise what others love around here. By the way, I'm not here to start arguments, I just wonder what this board's general [B]OPINION[/B] is about different youtubers. What do y'all think of Rooster Teeth Pew Die Pie Jacks's Films Freddie W Yogscast Game Grumps Jontron Egoraptor SeaNanners Criken PBG Smosh Vsauce Just some ideas. I know there's going to be obvious ones like Pew Die Pie, but whatever.

Good thread

[U]Rooster Teeth:[/U] I enjoy some of it but not all of it. Although the video they did on Monkey Island annoyed the hell out of me when they basically said it was terrible. That hurt a lot. [U]PewDiePie:[/U] Not a fan personally, but I can understand to an extent why people watch him. He seems like a nice enough guy, I'm just not into his humour. [U]Jack's Films:[/U] Not watched enough to form an opinion. [U]Yogscast:[/U] Eh. Not interested really. They don't entertain me. Again though, I can see there is an appeal. [U]Game Grumps:[/U] Probably the LP channel I watch most. It really passes the time, and there are some great moments. [U]JonTron:[/U] Very much a fan of Jon. His humour style, presentation, writing, it's all just brilliant. He has such a great personality. I could watch Jon for hours on end. [U]Egoraptor:[/U] I've not really watched him a lot, but the Sequelitis stuff is great. Very talented animator, but not always a fan of his humour. I generally like Arin, though. [U]SeaNanners:[/U] There's some good stuff, but it's not good enough for me to subscribe. [U]Criken:[/U] Very entertaining. I love a bit of Criken. [U]PBG:[/U] Pretty much the same as Jon. I love the way he does things. Great guy, and I quite like how child-like he can be at times. It's endearing. [U]Smosh:[/U] Not watched much, no real opinion. [U]Vsauce:[/U] Very interesting stuff. I like this channel quite a lot.

Concerning SeaNanners, I dunno if it's just me but he doesn't seem as "bad" as the other guy who sounds like he's a pony. Even though Nanners is on the same cruise liner as the Swedish pony, I do kinda like watching him play mind games in Source gamemodes like Prop Hunt and The Hidden; there's just something about tricking his playmates and running around as a teacup that appeals to me. All in all I favour the "blowing dolphins" kinda jokes rather than screeching about rape. It might be shlock, but it's a higher standard of shlock; it's the kind of brief "classy" shlock that I'll watch when I have less time on my hands or when guys like TB and Jesse don't have big videos up for me to watch over a big dinner. Concerning the original Grumps, JonTron's pretty neat; even though I don't watch GameGrumps as much now that Danny Sexbang's taken on the mantle of Not-So Grump, he was still pretty neat in that show, but I'm glad he's back to his "comedic review" stuff. Ego's still a classy fellow though; he, Barry and Suzy are the constants in the Grumps brand. Speaking of which the Game Grumps things has kinda become a brand of sorts; there's the main Game Grumps show which is console stuff and retro games, then there's Steam Train with Danny Sexbang and "Goddamnit" Ross O'Donovan that is like Game Grumps but on PC games, and then there's Steam Rolled which is generally 4-player competitive stuff similar to Game Grumps VS, and THEN there's their latest show called Table Flip, in which Barry Kramer and Suzy "The Goose" Hanson dress up in old-timey clothes and play card/board games with guests. So yeah; Game Grumps has come a long way from JonTron and Egoraptor starting a 2BFP-style collab channel. (2BFP being 2 Best Friends Play, a variety of Let's Play that borrows its name from a channel of the same name and involves two gamers playing a game as opposed to going it solo like most LPers) As for Yogscast, I daresay they got me into Minecraft; I did enjoy watching their Shadow of Israphel series, though nowadays I don't watch them as much. Fun fact; the Yogscast's name was derived from Ye Olde Goone Squade, a World of Warcraft guild that Simon Lane and Lewis Brindley first met in. It was primarily comprised of members of the Something Awful forums, who were known as "Goons". Also, turns out Totalbiscuit was once a member of the YOGS guild, assumedly before he quit WoW altogether.

Rooster Teeth - I don't like the Let's Plays, but the rest of their stuff is alright Pew Die Pie - Dear God No Jacks's Films - Was alright in the few videos I saw a while ago Freddie W - Like Yogscast - Doesn't seem like something I'd like Game Grumps - Like, Danny really made the show fresh imo. Jon just was annoying to me after a while. I really like Steam Train. Especially the episodes with Arin and Ross. Jontron - Like Egoraptor - Like SeaNanners - Never seen, the thumbnails give me PDP vibes Criken - Never seen PBG - Like Smosh - Neutral, have only seen once years ago. Vsauce - Like

My own opinion on the channels, not sure how similar my views are to the other members of the forum.[B] Rooster Teeth[/B] - I think they can be hit or miss. Some stuff I really like, some I can't stand to watch. [B]PewDiePie[/B] - The humor he employs is not for me at all. Used to watch his really, really old stuff but I can't really stomach it anymore. [B]Jacks's Films[/B] - I think I've seen some of his stuff, can't really recall to give a good opinion. [B]Freddie W[/B] - Pretty good VFX artist. Some of his talent goes to 'waste' on silly action videos he has done over and over with guns and explosions. Some of his stuff is really good, however. [B]Yogscast[/B] - Used to watch a bit of there stuff around 2011 or so when I got into Minecraft. Can't say much about them now. [B]Game Grumps[/B] - About the only LP channel I watch. I usually watch their stuff while eating. They do sometimes annoy me when they fail to progress through games when they don't pay attention. Not too big of a deal though. [B]Jontron[/B] - Really, really like his humor, and how he presents it. One of my favorite YouTubers. [B]Egoraptor[/B] - Really good animator and artist. His Sequelitis stuff is my favorite. [B]SeaNanners[/B] - I like his videos, some are pretty funny. They're edited to include the funniest bits. Sometimes his humor can be childish, but for the most part its okay. He plays a lot of older Source mods and brings a playerbase back to them, which is a plus. [B]Criken[/B] - I've seen a few of his videos, namely the L4D2 ones. Can't remember enough to form a good opinion. [B]PBG[/B] - Never watched. [B]Smosh[/B] - Used to like them more when I was younger, but I find that they're too over the top and childish for me. [B]Vsauce[/B] - One of my favorite YouTube channels. The format and editing is top notch and the videos are really interesting with varying scientific subjects. Even their spin off channels are good. Really recommend watching their stuff.

PBG's alright too; kinda like JonTron only with a bit less energy and with a fair slice of goofy charm. Makes sense, since both of them co-founded that Normalboots.com site

[QUOTE=Darth_Toast;43466483]Rooster Teeth - never watched it Pew Die Pie - literally hitler Jacks's Films - never watched it Freddie W - used to like it now it's meh Yogscast - the minecraft series was good for a while, then too much shit started happening Game Grumps - it was good, but it's not the same anymore Jontron - i want to make love to him in a non-gay way. he should make more videos though Egoraptor - same as jontron SeaNanners - idk Criken - idk PBG -idk Smosh - has funny moments but i don't watch them regularly, some of the humor feels really forced Vsauce - <3 [/QUOTE]

Rooster Teeth - Watched original RvB, don't really watch them too much anymore. I get links to their stuff, but I've found they've branched out too far for me. Pew Die Pie - I've seen him interviewed, and honestly looks like a cool dude, his YT isn't very interesting to me however, don't like the community too much either Jacks's Films - Never seen! Freddie W - Love FreddyW. Great shorts, despite VGHS being a bit cringy at times, i still really enjoyed it. Yogscast - Friends love it, talk about it all the time. I don't watch it, but I think my friends have good taste so I'll take their word for it. Game Grumps - Only really watched it for Jon, stopped watching it when he left. Jontron - Best videogame youtube channel, no questions asked. Reviews are sincere and funny. Egoraptor - I really loved his older stuff, but I've been finding ego to be less funny now a days. MGA was awesome. SeaNanners - don't watch Criken- don't watch PBG - Saw a video, was cool, but I don't really watched Smosh - Loved it when I was younger, don't watch it too much now, Anthony and Ian are still pretty funny guys though, I'd like to see them go to TV as writers or actors or something. SNL? Vsauce - educational! some interesting stuff.

Rooster Teeth - Haven't seen them much, so I can't really say much about them. Pew Die Pie - He's a nice guy, but his fanbase... ugh. Jacks's Films - Don't watch him much either, but from what I've seen like YGS, I guess he's fine. Freddie W - I'd say he's one of the best out there; him and his friends really put effort into their videos. Yogscast - Similarly to PewDiePie, they're okay, but their fanbase can get annoying at times, although I'm not implying that all of their fanbase are annoying though, just the majority. Game Grumps - Good guys, good vids. Jontron - Good and funny videos. And the videos about how things should've been with video games are pretty agreeable. Egoraptor - Similarly to JonTron, I like him and his vids, although I haven't seem him do much recently. SeaNanners - I don't watch too much, but he seems like a good guy to me. Criken - Great and funny videos. PBG - Haven't seen him much, again. Smosh - I'd say they're fine, not the best tho. Vsauce - Interesting videos, they really make me think more about science.

Rooster Teeth: They're ok. Pew Die Pie: He honestly doesn't seem THAT bad of a guy off camera. His fanbase however is a toxic pit. Jacks's Films: Never heard of it Freddie W: Nice effects Yogscast: They seem alright Game Grumps: Love it Jontron: The best thing on the internet ever. So glad I discovered him. Egoraptor: He has is down moments but still a prominent figure in both comedy, and animation. SeaNanners: Never heard of him Criken: Charming guy, wish he did more videos, but I like him. PBG: Also a pretty cool guy. Smosh: Used to be ok with them, but then they got pretty ehh Vsauce: I like his personality and the way he segways into different topics.
