I dont like Lets plays even more than I dont like streaming.
Im really in to editing and creative ideas, Kinda like this. So the thought of an unedited 9 hour play through of a video game sends chills up my back. At least in a stream there is a chance of interaction and less of a fake persona put on but lets plays… ugh.
The only let’s play youtuber that I like is RadBrad. If there’s ever a game that I’m thinking about buying I check it out on his channel. He’s chill, not over-the-top and pays attention to his fanbase.
I lost it at “I’m so excited!…. all the time…”. That’s what weird about a lot of ‘Let’s play’ Youtubers. They are so excited for the whole 10 minutes to 1 hour of footage in which they record themselfs play a game. They might even cut a couple of minutes off the raw footage. So who knows how long they push themselfs to seem excited. It must be very exhausting after a short while.
I really wonder what’ll happen 15-20 years from now when all these streamers and youtubers are 40 years old and have no appeal anymore and little to no career prospects. Sure, some of them will be able to move on to new things, but it’s becoming an increasingly large pool of people who are basically self-employed and earning a living on a timer.
I have never seen one of these videos but I heard so…gaddamned many. Literally they all sound like the same video. Everybody is Tay Zonday close to the microphone. Its just
He missed the “so, uuh, what do I do now? (20 minutes of backtrack) OH SHIT GUYS THE WAY TO GO WAS THROUGHT THIS DOOR LIT WITH NEON LIGHTS, WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT” part. I’ll give it a Dunko/10
This has been my favorite video of Jakey since I’ve seen it and was struck how accurate it is. It’s interesting, because it’s very different from the other videos he usually makes.
It’s amazing how easy it is to tell when someone is desperate. He’s imitating it, but think about how much humor on youtube seems desperate. And this didn’t.
anyone else playing too much pubg and feel oddly uncomfortable when the uncharted footage starts? expecting him to crash to dead stop with little stupid umbrella he hits?
I don’t watch a lot of LPers anymore, but when I did, there was usually never face cam. I watched Minecraft (yeah yeah) for the most part so there was Yogscast and davidangel64 (more widely known as X), then later various members of the group Mindcrack (you literally can’t be more chill than Ethoslab). I like nerdcubed as well.
There are LOTS of super chill and intelligent LP/gaming channels out there, but the ones that appeal to kids like Toby, Markiplier, and Pewdiepie get more attention.
You clearly haven’t watched the “Lets Play” channel then. They make good content that doesn’t revolve shenanigans like this because they play off of each other.
He’s not wrong at the level of energy needing to be shown in the video. As well as the type of personality that does get the views did stem from outputting that level of excitement. He’s also not wrong at the core of it, the average streamer or youtuber all they end up doing is reacting. Which honestly is what the average person wants.
Not to mention the average person making let’s play content doesn’t go the extra mile of doing things like in depth research on the game or the development stream because they don’t have the budget or the time to do it. So you just replace it with whatever superficial content you can offer.
Only last thing is knowing your audience. Which this archtype pulls because we now live in a real life jackass/reality show generation. They have grown up with the cult of personality that some would literally want to cause harm to another person because of petty conflict with another youtuber. Children eat this content up because it takes them out of their mundane life knowing someone is living what is actually an artificial dream captured that doesn’t actually show the real mundane life of that youtuber.
Glad this isn’t like the Let’s Play channel I watch. They never ask for likes, subs, or anything like that. They know if you like their content you will subscribe. Also they aren’t super excited about almost all their LPs, since they made a name for themselves playing bad games and making fun or being perplexed by the choices.
The ending is accurate too. Finally the tuber making regular video and making regular keks then they start to tear apart and mixing their own stupid problems and they dissappear. I mean when jontron back to gamegrumps for fuck sake jon you ain’t making videos so be filmed atleast you freak.
*a bird flies by*
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHSHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIUUUUUSEEEEEETHAATSHIIEEETWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Y’all need to watch better let’s plays…
“I have a playlist of all my shittiest content!”
I died lol…

If someone is constantly super excited I just start hating them within the minute.
God that is such a hot boy.
The moment he started taking cocaine my mind went straight to Toby Turner…

“lets get into it” lollllllllll
Never watched a let’s play, Reddit commentators is this actually accurate ? Lol

Pretty good acting too. That was genuinely good.
It’s your boy, GAAME BOOY!

So all of twitch.
Don’t worry. The trend will never change. Nothing will change. It will all stay the same.
Enjoy!
My friend shows me a lot of Markiplier videos and this is how I feel about them…
Jake really is ADHD personified but I’ll be damned if he isn’t hilarious.
It’s amazing how easy it is to tell when someone is desperate. He’s imitating it, but think about how much humor on youtube seems desperate. And this didn’t.
That’s fucking perfect. Exactly why I can’t stomach most streamers.
I have never seen a youtuber like this tbh
Man, Halo 2 story was so much better than all the others
anyone else playing too much pubg and feel oddly uncomfortable when the uncharted footage starts? expecting him to crash to dead stop with little stupid umbrella he hits?
Glorified Babysitters is what I call them. “Mommy can’t handle your shit right now timmy, take my ipad and go watch jackshitinyoureye”
Anyone know of any chill older let’s players (25+)? FightinhCowboy is great.
YouTube is a cesspool of cancerous content.

This dude watches Game Grumps judging from the recommended videos.
Wow this guy is on a JackSepticEye level of obnoxious. 10/10 parody. Upvoted. **CAN WE GO FOR TEN THOUSAND UPVOTES!?**
What I hate the most is the describing of every.godamn.action. Commentary on every litle details like it’s the first time they’ve seen it.
This is by far the best unintentional Andy Samburg impression ive ever heard
One major flaw in this video. He didn’t say “LETS GO!!!” every 4 seconds

Jakey is the man
He’s not wrong at the level of energy needing to be shown in the video. As well as the type of personality that does get the views did stem from outputting that level of excitement. He’s also not wrong at the core of it, the average streamer or youtuber all they end up doing is reacting. Which honestly is what the average person wants.

Not Clickbait. (Emotional)
Im such a hot boy, i cant deny it
I’ve never seen someone so perfectly replicate exactly what markiplier does so well.
I love Jakey, he’s a real creator
You guys laugh now but if you have kids it’s likely that one of these youtube personalities is their “hero”.
NakeyJakey throwing so much needed shade at the fuck lords.

Two Best Friends Play, keep on keeping on.
I want someone to make a parody of people cynically parodying other people on youtube because they don’t like their content.
I never understood why people have problems with Lets players or other channels like that, if someone enjoys it whats the problem?
Odds are your content won’t hit that audience anyway.
I would say this is how I view most streamers and most gamer based youtube channels.
I respect very few channels and only the ones not acting fake… gotta keep it real or it comes off as awkward to me.
The ending is accurate too. Finally the tuber making regular video and making regular keks then they start to tear apart and mixing their own stupid problems and they dissappear. I mean when jontron back to gamegrumps for fuck sake jon you ain’t making videos so be filmed atleast you freak.
This just made me want to play Halo 2 again.
how is there not one of these guys already calling himself gameboy?
That dude looks like he could be FPS Doug’s cousin.
Been a hotboy since almost the beginning. Dog Bless.
I used to watch this skateboarder who started acting exactly like this. I stopped watching.
His name is NakeyJakey
Check out this guy’s channel its absolute gold. His video about dogs in video games brought out the feels heavily.
