So in this video - youtube.com/watch?v=l-WVEsHebjw
a guy made a decently constructed post on why he doesn't like Pewdiepie D:
Anyway I've made this topic, because I want to post all my response as a comment, and I wouldn't be able to do that normally because of the character limit. So the only reason I made this thread, was so that I could easily post my feedback as a comment so everyone can see my response to the video as a link. Also, if you do read it, tell me what you think about my response.
HERE IS MY RANT:
I am going to make a pretty lengthy reply to each of your
points Brendon.
1. His camera actually doesn't take up much of the screen at
all, and not even near a quarter of the screen. As shown in one of his Bully
videos, he moved the facecam, so we could see the timer. Once the mission was
over, he moved it back to it's original place.
2. His titles and thumbnails make people like me laugh, and
it is actually what got me attracted to the first video I saw of him. I saw the
funny title which made me think, "Hey that sounds funny". I didn't
know about the game, so if the title wasn't obnoxious like it is, I probably
would have just skipped to the next video. If someone didn't know about Bully
at all, they might think "Haha a drunk santa in a video game? Gotta see
what that's about".
3. Pewdiepie uses swearing in a different way then normal,
and this might not appeal to you, but it does to me and his 3 000 000+
subscribers. He uses it to show how frustrated he is, which is hilarious. I do
however agree, that sometimes his swearing is not used correctly and I
partially agree with this point.
4. His yelling is what makes me enjoy his Amnesia videos, it
gets me to laugh every time. If he didn't scream, not as many people would
watch his videos. It contributes a lot to his YouTube personality. People find
it funny to see a grown man start screaming at a video game.
If you want to get sucked in a horror game either play it yourself or watch
another YouTuber. Pewdiepie's videos are not about getting sucked in.
5. If someone likes a type of video you are making, why not
make more of them. If people are asking for more and if people are still
enjoying his 'Let's Play' videos a lot, why should he change it? Tobuscus has
WAAAAY more episodes of Happy Wheels, and people still love him.
6. I understand this, Pewdiepie is made for a certain
audience, and I know it might sound offending but I'm not trying to offend you
at all. Pewdiepie's videos are not made for you. hey are made for the other
people who love his humour. Repetitive humour is hard to get right, but I'm
sure me and many others can agree that he has nearly mastered it. His remarks
like, "Slap my butt", "Twist my nipples and "I DON"T
CAAAARE" make many people laugh every time. I won't bother explaining this
humour, as it simply is enjoyable for certain types of people.
7. I agree, his fans are really annoying, but some of them
are fine, and it's always reassuring to see the fine ones xD
Anyway I'd just like to say Pewdiepie is for a certain
audience, so if he doesn't appeal to you, well then I understand.
It makes sense why you think his humour is stupid and
pointless. But for me and his massive fanbase, he is still one of the funniest
people I've seen.
I mean, he gets people who don't play video games to love
his videos. So if he can do that, he must be doing something right.
Thanks for reading, and well done on the video. It was
very well constructed with good evidence and back up.
