Poll of the Day > I hate Cr1tikal but also like him

(+) Yeah! (+)

He's really funny as a person and a great comedian

But he talks about stupid **** and trends and stuff. Here is a video from him that I think is funny:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dk5FiN5F7k

He's not as consistently funny as he used to be like 5+ years ago but he still makes a lot of good content. I really liked the food and beverage testing ones they've done in the last couple years. Even the one where they smell-tested cigarettes.

i prefer his old content when he was clinically depressed and sounded like he wanted to end it.

he definitely seems a lot happier these days though so good for him.

I'm indifferent because I've never watched his content, but the name reminds me of the multi-colored, alphanumeric names I used to encounter in Multiplayer Quake.

I always thought he was mind-numbingly boring so yes, somewhere between liking and hating. Never watched much but always just found his voice super funny.

Need an option for apathy. It would be most accurate to say I don't really give a shit about him either way.

Cr1tikal is precisely that level of braindead entertainment that is at least a little bit funny but not too engaging. The perfect kind of thing to put on in the background while you waste your life away in an MMO or something.

If we're grading youtubers of this type on a curve, he's on the upper end of that spectrum.

Cr1tikal certainly has a place in the youtubing world and I think it's going to be quite a while before someone else comes along and does that kind of content better. So he's alright/10.

Never heard of him

he just kind of does whatever he wants to do, which i respect

a lot of creators from back around his time now just try and chase the trends way too much, to where they just pigeonhole themselves

he didn't really do that. he'll talk about current events and shit, but he doesn't make chasing the algorithm his entire personality

He's pulling his _____ out!!!!

I don't like or dislike him. I don't watch him except for the occasional video posted on this website. The one in the OP is good.

I hate how every one of his videos has a vague click baity title. But I do general find myself agreeing with him

Sure, he's fine. I don't watch his videos every day, or anything, but occasionally he'll release something good.

I miss his old stuff where it was all making fun of bad video games. Now I mostly pick and choose what I'll watch. I thought it was hilarious when he made himself in one of those NBA games. Also, Beef Testosterone in MMA games are great.

His VR game videos are hilarious.

to add to what i said, he's kind of in the same vein as guys like markiplier for me. i don't really watch his stuff much anymore, but outside of his content he seems like a genuinely decent dude that just gets to do whatever he wants. it's hard for me to dislike a person like that.

adam sandler is another good example for this. dude makes almost nothing but terrible movies but it's always just an excuse to chill with his buddies. that's a good way to be imo.

I used to think he was really funny but I havent watched a new video in probably seven years. I guess I like him though. Dont know a lot about him personally.

I've heard that the people he's worked with have always considered him a great guy.

Every once in a while he makes a movie he wants to make, and they tend to be surprisingly good. He's actually a much better actor than most people realize.

The thing is, if stupid companies were willing to pay me millions of dollars to travel to exotic locales and basically vacation with my friends for a few months, I'd cash those checks too.

It's like with Will Smith, where he's actually a pretty good actor. But 9 times out of 10, the studio is just paying him tens of millions per film to be the Fresh Prince, so he's gonna be the Fresh Prince. Can't really blame him for that.

The dude was right for the wrong reasons on that last one. Bending over like that instead of bending with your knees isn't good for your back.

The funniest part is that "Funny People" basically just satirizes Sandler's most common movie roles.

I liked him better before 90% of his channel was reaction content, but I still watch his videos on occasion.

I used to love him for his comedic style, but now he just makes mostly clickbait drama videos. He's also an extreme fence sitter who will flip his opinion the moment he sees backlash. But most of the time he just hops on a "safe" hatewagon. I have no respect for people who build their career by stepping on others.

Some people really need to be stepped on though.

And some people are willing to pay good money to get stepped on.

His cat is cute

His old videos where he played online virtual chat games were so funny.

I really think he went downhill when he showed his face, his personality as a youtuber changed then.

I was subbed to him literally like 14 years ago when he was making the "fun tactics" videos for mw2 and battlefield, funny how he is so huge now I never would have expected it at the time.

I haven't watched his newer stuff much but the first video I saw of his was the lawnmower simulator and that humor was right up my alley at the time. Still kinda is

Guy with a juvenile sense of humor and milquetoast safe takes on lots of stupid stuff; definitely a poster child for why YouTuber is not a real job

milquetoast safe takes

Why is this bad? Do you think he would be better if he was intentionally controversial?

Cr1tikal is a fairly harmless dude from what I've gathered from random comments/videos I've seen about it.
But the random stuff I have seen has mostly been low-effort re-iterating the same thoughts on news articles and videogames.

I don't blame him, it seems like a fairly solid gig and easier than most jobs.
I also wish that audiences were smarter and just moved to other stuff. I'll also probably keep wishing that forever.

No hate, just not my thing.

I think it shows how low the bar is for YouTube creators that you're considered good if you're not a complete degenerate. I also think if he was truly above some of the stuff he does commentary on, he wouldn't be commenting on it at all. I promise that your life wouldn't be missing anything if there weren't guys like him around to do a takedown on alpha male bootcamps or whatever

I don't know if this guy is really chewy or not, but he certainly has chewy takes.

Why would anyone bother to impersonate someone as uninteresting as chewy

milquetoast

This has been the word of the month, haven't heard it used anywhere in years and now this is like the 10th time I've seen in used in the past few weeks.
