mycot posted:If you've already forgotten the dramas of early 2023, there was a temporary gimmick website with a url along the lines of didtheyplaythewizardgame.com that would track if a streamer streamed Hogwarts Legacy (I think by using Twitch categories). Now you can call this melodramatic or virtue signal-y but people acted like this was leftist kiwifarms. The biggest crime on the eyes about this is how this felt the equivalent of that picture of the guy who looked like Daniel Ibbertson but with a propeller beanie holding a copy of Cat With a Hat with a "triggered" expression. Oh great, the people who care the most about this are people who make videos looking like they're about to blow their brains out in the car or in a darkened living room bc a triple A videogame didn't have enough graphics on it, aka, the most boring of people.

Mr E posted:Specifically, I'm begging Patrick to stop because I appreciate his takes but think the skits are some of the worst things I've ever seen. Especially when it became 10+ parts of videos long + a movie. and the scary thing is patrick probably has some of the better video essay skits

Terrible Opinions posted:Initially picking up a game to play sure. Going on a big hissy fit about people told not to play it though? That's just outrage merchant/engagement farming poo poo, no different than react streamers pretending to care about whatever the most recent topic in the drama sphere is. Yeah, the psychology of people who throw tantrums at people judging them for supporting questionable products or creators is wild, mostly because it doesn't have any sort of actual ethical or philosophical justification to support it. I think it partially comes from a particular way of looking at the world I've noticed some people have: A type of moral essentialism where being a "good" or "bad" person is not the result of that person performing "good" or "bad" deeds but is instead the result of some innate good or bad essence of that person. It's a framework that makes it very easy to claim moral superiority without having to actually do anything.

Um...what? I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself, so you need to go back to the beginning and post this picture. Probably so I can send it to him and laugh.

Mr Interweb posted:and the scary thing is patrick probably has some of the better video essay skits It's so, so theater kid, I almost give him a pass. It's obviously done because Patrick loves to do them, not as some kind of tea leaf reading of the algorithm. It doesn't appear to be pandering. I don't enjoy it, and the entire trailer for the holiday special worked to repel me. It seems to me like mostly harmless, if annoying, fun. I appreciate how Erik rolls his skits and sponsored ad reads into one.

When most of a youtuber's videos are less than two minutes long and they play every character on screen, you have found the good skits

the skit that's lodged deepest in my mind is the "kill jester" bit from limmy's adventure call segment. something about it is comedically perfect and i can't explain it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzKo1JPNf4s

to be clear, my criticism on skits is mostly for video essays. if a channel is focused on comedy, that's one thing. but if you're trying to do serious, longform critique/analysis, and then cram in some comedy segment, most of the time it comes off as unfunny and self-indulgent

Skits are bad outside of actual comedy shows and it's weird they didn't die off years ago.

Wishing away all skits on a monkey's paw, but that leads to a dark future timeline where youtubers have to stretch out content by reviewing McDonald's Happy Meal toys between video chapters.
