I typed this up Sept. 17
Youtube (and Blog TV) have become increasingly popular over the past half a year. Several Celebrities have joined Youtube, like Miley Cyrus, and have instantly gone to the top of the list for the most subscribed Youtube Channels of all time. I really don't like Miley Cyrus. She can't sing (her voice is horrible), she can't act, she definitely can't dance, she definitely ain't funny and she's a Disney Slut. Half naked pics of her started surfacing on the internet just months after she turned 15. Those 'scandalous' pics only got worse as the year (this year) went on. The whole 'Vanity Fair' thing caused a lot of controversy. She posed half naked for the magazine and just blamed it on someone else; she also released a statement saying she's sorry to her fans. Yeah right! She didn't expect people to react the way they did to the pics; the pics clearly hurt her image and that's why she apologized and decided to blame someone else. And she's still causing quite the controversy, this time by hanging out and possibly dating boys who are at least 5 years older than her. And yet people still like this bitch and give her the time of day. Her Youtube Channel is currently the #7 most subscribed of all time on Youtube and she just joined Youtube in February. It took some of these Youtubers years to break the top 10 for most subscribed of all time on Youtube and this bitch did it within a few months just because she's the hottest Teen artist in America right now. She shares the Youtube Channel with a 22 yr. old chick named Mandy Jiroux (who's probably not a good influence on Miley; just look at the age difference). They have their own webcast series called “The Miley and Mandy Show”. The webcast series is on the same level as iCarly (a show on Nickelodeon). iCarly is aimed at kids and The Miley and Mandy show is aimed at basically anyone but both webcast series are completely stupid with a bunch of idiots hosting the show who do nothing but rant about crap people don't care about.
Anyway, on to more Youtubers. 2 popular Youtubers are NigaHiga and KevJumba. I started watching their vids months ago, at the beginning of the year. Their vids are hilarious! But as the year went on, they both started releasing other Comedy vids that just didn't live up to my expectations. Their newer vids just weren't as funny as their older ones. I don't know what happened but they're not funny at all anymore. NigaHiga has kind of dumbed down while KevJumba just doesn't do anything except talk about crap like Celebrities while adding in his own Comedy skit. And NigaHiga is actually gonna be in a movie. I really want to know how that happened. He's not as funny as he used to be. His vids are stupid now.
Then there's Youtubers like Michael Buckley and Venetian Princess. I found out about Michael Buckley and Venetian Princess around the same time I found out about NigaHiga and KevJumba. Michael Buckley has his own webcast series called “What The Buck” and it's completely hilarious! In every episode, he rants about Celebrities and Hollywood but he is just so funny the way he goes about doing that. He talks fast and he adds in Internet Acronyms like “LOL” and “WTF” and he also makes smart remarks about some of these Celebrities that may be rude (but not really) but it's his own opinion and it's so funny! That's real comedy for you! Some of these popular Yotuubers that shouldn't be popular at all could learn a thing or 2 from Michael Buckley. Venetian Princess is funny too. She makes a lot of Celebrity Parodies. They're kind of funny and I enjoy them (I like her older Celebrity parodies better). But they're definitely not stupid like NigaHiga and KevJumba's recent vids. She also makes her own Fantasy vids; she did a spin off of Tomb Raider called “Tube Raider” where she saves several Yotubers or something. It was cool. She also has her own green screen so she does all the special effects herself. She also has done short webcast series such as “The Princess Chronicles” which is kind of like The Chronicles of Narnia and The Wizard of Oz. She plays all the characters too. But my problem is that she doesn't follow up with the next episode. There's no second episode to Tube Raider. I really wanted to know if she was gonna save the Youtubers.
Then there's Lonely Girl 15 (LG15) and Lisa Nova. LG15 is really popular and I have no idea why. I tried watching one episode of the webcast series (I could only watch part of an episode), omg, it's absolutely horrible! It's poorly made like the cast and crew of the webcast series just threw shit together and didn't really give it any thought. The camera is all over the place (the camera angles go everywhere), there's no storyline (it's supposed to be a mystery I guess but I couldn't tell because the scenes just jumped all over the place and it was very confusing), the cast didn't really look like they knew what they were doing (there was hardly any dialogue among the characters and when there was you could hardly hear what they were saying) and they tried to be interactive which was a turn off (in the middle of a scene they're like “Go to LG15.com and help us solve the case”. I'm like What Case??? What is this Shit???). I have never watched a vid by Lisa Nova. Her vids look like they're complete bullshit. Just from the profile pic that comes with a Youtube vid, I can already tell that this bitch isn't funny at all and that she's a Whore and Slut who's vids are completely worthless.
Next there's Happy Slip. I never thought she was funny at all. From my perspective, it seems as though her vids are Asian Comedy because she's Asian. I watched a couple of her vids and I'm like This Shit is not funny! She plays 2 different characters in one of her vids that I started watching but never finished because of complete boredom. She plays herself (I think) and apparently she also plays her Mom or her Teacher (something like that) and she starts talking about random crap. People who find that shit to be funny needs to be slapped. I do like Asian Comedy (mostly Japanese Game Shows; they're completely hilarious!) but Happy Slip's vids are just bland. I'm sure a lot of different people watch her vids and not just Asians. But I just find her vids to be very boring.
Lastly, there's Smosh. I watched a couple of their vids and they weren't funny at all. One of their vids is “Food Battle 2008” in which 2 boys (Smosh is a duo) pick a particular food and do stupid things with it like trying to use it as a tool to fix something and seeing whose food worked better in that area. It is quite funny but towards the end of the vid it just gets stupid and boring. Smosh is the #1 most subscribed of all time on Youtube (NigaHiga might pass them soon; he's only about 3,000 subscribers short of taking the #1 spot). I like the fact that Smosh and some of these other Youtubers have worked for a while to get to where they are now with subscribers (unlike Miley Cyrus who received instant popularity on Youtube and is now whoring herself out on Youtube as well as Myspace), but their vids are just stupid and complete bullshit! They really have to step their game up to keep some of their audience (and to be honest, with their crappy vids, I have no idea how they managed to keep their audience).
