Didn't see a thread about this but I thought it was eerily accurate especially the part lampooning Trvia Videos:

[Crownjo]

Wow it's just like the real thing!

 

[Komo]

Perfect. lmao

 

[SJRB]

It's kind of accurate I suppose, but the irony of the "LIKE & SUBSCRIBE" at the end is the true joke of this video.

 

[Discotheque]

collegehumor is pretty good at this

needed more annoying voices though.

 

[maquiladora]

Thought it was alex navarro for half a second...

 

[lazygecko]

That's pretty spot on.

 

[bryanee]

Never seen a genuine Youtube gamer video like that. But then again I only stick to a few lets players such as Super Best Friends, Video Games Awesome and a couple of others and they're nothing like what's described in this video.

Oh man you beat me to it hahahaha.

I only stick to good channels that differentiate themselves as well, but if you ever glimpse in the related/recommended video tabs you get from those, you're bound to run intot tons of channels exactly like this.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

That's Alex Navarro.

Yeah, it is ironic.

 

[Bulbasaur]

And that's why I don't watch YouTube gamers. At all.

basically what I was going to say, except those names you mentioned

 

[May16]

Even though the game is Zelda, people don't realize the character is actually named Link.

 

[Seanspeed]

Pretty accurate.

The guy's voice was entirely bearable, though.

And he wasn't trying to crack a joke every 3.5 seconds.

So I'd say this guy is actually far more tolerable than most still(some really aren't that bad at all, even with a 'persona' going on).

 

[Sami+]

He needed more bad jokes.

 

[Coin Return]

Holy shit, that was spot on.

 

[Corpekata]

Seemed to be more of an every retro gamer thing going on but still pretty funny. Not going to be accurate without some over the top screaming at every little thing in a horror game.

 

[plainr_]

He forgot the reactions.

 

[Rymuth]

It's kind of accurate I suppose, but the irony of the "LIKE & SUBSCRIBE" at the end is the true joke of this video.

Game Sack is my favorite and it doesn't fall to a single trope in this video.

The other 122 shows I watch regularly do. But I still watch.

 

[K.Sabot]

There was a video similar to this where the person made fun of the fact that youtube reviewers try to shoehorn in a grandiose subplot spanning over all their videos and I wish I could find it again.

 

[Matush]

It's kind of accurate I suppose, but the irony of the "LIKE & SUBSCRIBE" at the end is the true joke of this video.

So much this.

 

[KnockOneOff]

Hahaha he was spot on with the "I get paid to do this" bit

 

[Usobuko]

He forgot the reactions.

I was expecting a lot of high-pitched screams, angry rants and meltdowns.

Or people who talk in a weird juvenile manner riddled with Internet lingoes.

Game Sack has the occasional flat joke or awkward skit. But, when they're actually talking about the games, they're at their best.

yea i lamo hard at that part

Oh yeah for sure. The knowledge is real though and man they capture good footage.

 

[Iriscomeback]

Spot on for a lot of them out there...

The 'trivia' cracked me up

 

[maus]

he forgot doki doki panic

 

[ZhugeEX]

I don't find this funny at all...

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Thought it was alex navarro for half a second...

 

[Camwi]

Funny video.

Also, I approve of this Youtube comment:

 

[……forgetit]

It's kind of accurate I suppose, but the irony of the "LIKE & SUBSCRIBE" at the end is the true joke of this video.

I mean that's how they make their money. Can you blame them for saying it at the end?

 

[liliththepale]

I don't find this funny at all...

Agreed. I think it's an accurate representation of a certain contingent of YouTube gamers, but being self-aware rarely turns a bad joke good, and this failed in that regard. This was as cringe-inducing as the material it parodied, if not more so.

 

[delSai]

That's perfect lol

 

[CaptainGyro]

if anybody posts examples of guys like this i will pay them $100*. just wanna see what they are like







*haha i said doolhairs not dollars sucker

 

[StoppedInTracks]

So damn true.

 

[Ramenman]

It's pretty good but I'm sad it's missing the most obvious and annoying things :

- reactions to trailers (please kill them with fire)
- overplayed jumpscares vids of games no one would care about if they didn't have a chance of making you easy ad money on youtube

 

[JJDinomite]

These guys have obviously never seen Dunkey. Though this stereotype is sadly true for most YouTubers.

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

I saw this the other day and remembered why I never got into these kinds of channels.

 

[InfiniteNine]

These guys have obviously never seen Dunkey. Though this stereotype is sadly true for most YouTubers.

His Ultimate Mario 64 play-through was pro skills.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

He forgot the reactions.

And those really terrible video thumbnails.

 

[Jarrod38]

He also forgot to say this is your boy followed by 6 different names he goes by.

 

[NewGame]

I'm looking into a mirror.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Hm, never watch those kinda video game channels, the closest one to that is "Did You Know Gaming".

 

[Derpcrawler]

I started posting random shit on my channel, from Destiny to Hotline Miami, no YouTube playthrough series, but just random gameplay videos. From achievement guide in MGS5 to random crap like Bloodborne PvP. And somehow I went from 10-15 views on average to 600-1000 views per video. Not planning to make money, but I still think you can make money as YouTuber and don't be obnoxious with facecam and constant commentary. My videos are just random gameplay, I might post link here and other forum, but that's it. No commentary, no facecam, just pure gameplay and in-game buffoonery.

I mean I like many YouTubers because both their personality and their gaming skills - i.e. jackfrags and Robbaz, but some people I would just want to shut up and play the game more.

 

[Hans.Gruber]

This was crazy good.

 

[cacildo]

He should call himself "Angry Every Youtube Gamer Ever"

 

[Spiritwalker]

That's quite accurate. I also thought of Alex Navarro lol.
