Have you seen any really cringe-worthy gaming channels?

I always laugh when DSP blames everything on his viewers, his hypocrisy, and his patreon begging.

I remember him talking shit about E-Begging, and then you have him begging the viewers to support him on Patreon.

Yes. Many. I immediately forget about them, though, so I can't name any. But there are lots out there. Most of them are pretty bad, imo.
 
Someone on GAF pointed this out which I thought was very telling. I'm sure this rings true for most popular youtubers, but he mentioned this guy called Jacksepticeye (millions of subs obviously). He is your typical scream in your face guy, nothing special of course, but if you watch his older videos, it's funny/sad to see the difference in presentation; very normal speaker at first and then completely over the top screaming in his more popular videos.

That is very sad. He's a clown now.

He's like 2 different people!!!O_o
 
Me too.
Though I think the lack of them is due to the Irate Gamer becoming a parody of himself. A lot of the parody videos were bashing classic games using his dumb complaints and terrible jokes, but now that's all he does. Bashing DuckTales, Kid Icarus, Punch-Out, and some others. It's like he doesn't understand the point of "angry negative reviews"
Well, that's alongside his Skylanders shilling (do any Skylanders fans consider him a serious authority?) and his bizarre ghost hunting career (same question here, any paranormal fans consider him serious?)

I think Irate Gamer parodies are done because he's pretty much irrelevant now and the people who legitimately hated him have grown up and realized how foolish everything was.

I dont really follow him but as far as he goes I think he's actually doing what he wants to do now. Back in the day I think people were bitter YouTube pushed him instead of AVGN and time has really made that into a non issue. I don't know, that's my take on it at least.
 
I'm going to put a spin on the thread a bit and actually mention a real TV channel here in the UK called Ginx TV. It's the most cringeworthy shit I have ever seen, and that includes some of the replies in this thread. They have a programme called the First Hour, which is exactly what you think it is, with the 2 most obnoxious, unfunny presenters on the planet.
 
Most of the super loud ones fall into this category. If you're screaming about everything then that's just really annoying.
 
There's one in Brazil but I wont't post here because no one will understand anything obviously.

He basically calls himself the biggest gamerscore in Brazil (that's even in the channel's name) even though he's banned from True Achievements for being considered a cheater and has never explained the situation there or proved otherwise.

Just by that you can imagine how the videos are, he's a joke here to anyone that understands a little bit about gaming, but the uninformed masses follow him blindly like he's some kind of small celebrity.
 
Madcatz just sent DSP a free copy of Rockband 4. But DSP will only play Rockband 4 if his Patreon Goal for October is reached. He won't actually play the game until November or December where he'll have a day marathon of it.

Constantly says there won't be a paywall. Has a paywall right there. He wants you to pay him $1250 so he could play Rockband 4.
 
most of them, even game explain can be a little cringey sometimes, but LPers in general are super cringey when they try to be "funny", unless it's multiple people and it happens organically, that's what i liked of jon tron/arin era game grumps, their banter was funny because it was just 2 bros talking, not forced jokes and gimmicks, just natural dialogue, in contrast Jon-Tron's actual solo show is the anti thesis of funny.
