I really like Ryan's videos. Funny and entertaining. Why can't movies and shows have writers … never mind. Because they SUCK. That's why.

I know man. This dude is killing it.
I see people in his comments section saying stuff like "how are you not famous" all the time.
But I think he is famous. Mainstream fame doesn't seem to be doing too well these days. I don't see Ryan making any pathetic "look at me" videos or singing imagine with no makeup on, is all I'm sayin'.
It's impossible to pick a favorite video of the ones he's made. None of them are bad.
I really like this one.

These are the vids I figured he'd make, but haven't seen yet. I must have seen dozens of his Pitch Meeting vids, so it's clear he's got crazy talent.
And it's clear talent attracts talent, so that explains the girl. Excellent.

Are you sure that's not Ryan just wearing a lot of makeup?

What a break from character that video was.
Oh, shit...

Digging the Ryan vids, but back to the threads topic for a sec...
Mr. H shows why it's worse than mere retconning. The creatives are just too damn LAZY!!!
Gender swapping, over writing and now just flat out STEALING ( or paying 1$ store rates for STOCK FUCKING FOOTAGE!!! ) SCREW CBS AA BALLS DEEP!

The way I screw them is by never watching it and instead watching RedLetterMedia do their reviews of it instead.
Much more entertaining, IMO.
Pretty sad, given that it's only two guys sitting in chairs across from one another drinking beer. I'd be lying if I said they had zero production budget though, because they really have some nice cameras and microphones.

A thread about what makes a good YouTuber is probably due. I watch way too much, having subscribed to 30-40 channels. Now, I don't watch most of those on a weekly basis, maybe just 6-8, but most of them I'll check in on and a few are almost entirely ' support 'subscriptions. I may check in on them once every month or two.
I'd say most of the appeal for me is whether the person can communicate clearly and distinctly, is their content interesting or informative, and production value. If they're filming w/ a potato and speaking through a Dixie cup and a piece of string, that's not gonna work for me.
Most of us can carry on a coherent conversation well enough but to publicly speak into a mic and cam, with the presence of mind to keep it interesting while having a sense of the technical aspects of things - not getting too close or far away from the mic, proper lighting, background and surroundings... mostly prep stuff that goes unnoticed - that's what separates the better ones from the weekend Bettys.

Not a bad idea about the thread.
I'm not sure if you watch RedLetterMedia or not, but they certainly don't fall into the "weekend Betty" description, although I might have just made it sound like they do.
The Picard and STD reviews they do are part of one of their segments where they're sitting in a room (that one of the guys constructed, and I assume is only used for these segments) and they just talk, sometimes for an hour, about a TV show or a movie. It's usually filmed by more than one person and has different camera angles just to break it up a bit.
That's by far their most "basic" prentations, with "Re: View" coming in a close second and being basically the same style except it's commentary on old movies or TV shows rather than stuff just airing now.
Their production value can go quite high in other segments that they do. I believe they were the first people to have McCauly Culkien on their show (if you haven't noticed him popping up from channel to channel now for the last 2 or so years). It looks like they became pretty close friends with him because he's always dropping in every few months to do another show with them, some of them requiring him to sit in a basement with 5 or 6 other people for a full day watching some of the shittiest movies ever put on film and doing a round table discussion of them after the fact.
They're OG YouTubers too. Their really old videos even pre-date the oldest videos on their channel and can be seen uploaded from time to time by other accounts.
Their F*CK YOU it's January are probably among my favorite skits, and I wish they did one every year.

Virtue signaling for absolutely no reason, what so ever. Personal fav Karen Gillan is rumored to be in a ' reboot ? ' Pirates of the Caribbean with OUT Johnny Depp.
Depp may not be a boy scout, but he certainly got royally screwed by Amber Herd and the fake claims of abuse. The very reason his name has been trashed is because of her hideous lies about him abusing her, when it was the exact opposite! Eff that skank.
So now Depp still has the stench of being abusive towards women, is silently ghosted by Disney, and it's on to better things now, huh?
If Disney were smart ( of course they aren't ) they'd try to do something like meet in the middle, have the next PotC movie work in a REASONABLE plot with Karen Gillan as the lead, and then at the end, bring back Depp. Leave it open , so he could return to the franchise, or even say farewell, as he goes off to other things, hands the keys over to Karen and then gets a proper send off for all the bank he's made Disney over the course of the franchise.
Not a fan of Disney anymore, but just offering some free advice. Knowing full well it'll be ignored, because Disney is rotten to the core.
