Every YouTube Gamer Ever

[Kenbo Slice]

CollegeHumor released this little video the other day:
It is absolutely hilarious and totally fucking accurate. Especially the part about the facts.

What do you guys think?

 

[Seishisha]

Gota say questionable humor aside, this video is actualy kinda inaccurate, although there are many examples of the type of channel being lampooned, there is easily an equal amount of youtube gamer's that don't cover old games/hardware and trivia.

I know this is just a joke about a prominent part of youtube but still there is way more vareity than what is actualy being shown. Not to mention plenty of channels are run in whole or part by women aswell as men, some of them don't even have beards as hard as that may be to believe.

I guess I didn't find it funny because I'm not in college anymore. I also think I'm watching the wrong gamer channels on YT...

 

[Risingblade]

All I can say is yay for game grumps.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

Can confirm that I am still in college and did not find this video very humorous. I mean, whatever floats your boat, I guess. There are plenty of Youtubers that aren't that friggin' obnoxious. Maybe I'm just not watching the right people for this to be more hilarious.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Not terribly funny but I have to agree with the portrayal of (most) YT gamers as accurate.

 

[Zhukov]

Huh.

Apparently I am watching the wrong gaming-related channels on Youtube.

The people I watch just play a game while talking.

I don't think I've ever seen what this fellow is making fun of. Although I have no trouble believing they exist.

 

[lechat]

Don't watch any YT video game people because seriously why would I? but that is 100% what i assume they are all like.

 

[RedDeadFred]

I feel like they didn't go far enough with this. It certainly should have had him playing some random horror game while fake screaming.

 

[DoPo]

Huh.

Uh, thanks.

Yeah, what my spokes person above said.

It seems we failed to coordinate - I was going to say that but apparently somebody decided to go ahead and type it instead of me and made me feel obsolete. I'm not saying any names, Zhukov, but I think we all know who is that.

Spoiler

It's you, you did it!

 

[Casual Shinji]

Very accurate though the humor escapes me.

But then this just seems like most youtube personalities in general, not just the gaming type.

Thank God for Super Best Friends Play and MatthewMatosis.

This is Normal Boots in a nutshell... I still love the Normal Boots guys though (except Caddicarus. He sucks).

Yup, pretty much.

They forgot the part where Jesus Shigero Miyamoto descends down from Nintendo-Valhalla when they talk about Ocarina of Time.

 

[Eddie the head]

That wasn't funny. It just looks like they're just doing what those gaming channels are doing. It's not parody if you're just copying people.

 

[Elfgore]

The only guys I watch that do this are Angry Video Game Nerd and Jontron. I can't even think of anyone else who does this, maybe Markiplier?

Glad I'm a big fan of funhaus, they're a bunch of thirty year old men and not young'uns.

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

I dunno. He didn't fake scream at an obvious jump-scare. So points off for that.
Also, where's his token girl? How am I supposed to believe girls play videogames if I don't see one quoting from Fallout and Firefly every third sentence?! Points off!
And where where was the 10/10 review for a game most gamers consider mediocre at best?! POINTS! ALWAYS POINTS!

So 5/10. Too much water.

 

[happyninja42]

Interesting, never seen anyone on youtube that does this. Looks like I'm doing something right because this was obnoxious.

Yeah, a lot of this character seems to be based off Jontron (facial hair, focusing on retro games and having random crazy overreaction cuts and talking games)

I wouldn't describe it as "every youtube gamer", but it does point out some stupid things that a lot do (it's still entertaining to watch them do this though, and that's why it works.)

This is Normal Boots in a nutshell... I still love the Normal Boots guys though (except Caddicarus. He sucks).

Yeah gotta agree with this. It was Normal Boots condensed. Though I only regularly indulge in PGGamer...his humor clicks with me.

The video didn't cover:
People who play scary games almost exclusively ah la Marikplier
People who talk over gameplay like RageSelect or Jim Sterling
People who analyze games in a very serious manner like Errant Signal and Super Bunnyhop

Can't say I found the video very funny either.

 

[Roboshi]

I'm just hit with the irony when they end their video with a youtube plead for subscriptions and likes in a parody of other youtube videos, when a pleading for subs and likes is the hallmark of every youtuber out there.
