A Dose of Buckley is intended to be a place for Buckley to say exactly what he feels. His videos tend to talk about subjects with Brutal Honesty. His opinions are generally fair and only go off-base whenever he is being sarcastic. Unlike many other YouTube ranters, his videos are pictures and video instead of a person in front of a camera. This gives him more leeway with his humor, with the ability for more natural visual puns and extra commentary that would sound weird said aloud. He works in radio and so occasionally reviews music, mostly with a focus on Top 40 hits. He is also known for doing top ten worst hit song videos annually, and some commercial parodies. He seems to enjoy employing dark humor. He hates stupidity and hypocrisy in all forms, and seems to want people to smarten up in general. A seeker of truth, if you will.
On one hand, it can be quite refreshing to see someone abandon all pretense and polite decorum to sum up a situation exactly the way it is. He intends to tell the truth in all cases. He attempts to see situations logically and seems to enjoy pointing out hypocrisy and double-standards. While his loathing of Top 40 music could be assumed to just be bias due to his day job, the criticisms he brings are generally fair for the song in question, and Musical Autopsy has even had good songs where he only picked at small bits or weak spots to be funny, and gave praise where it was due.
On the other hand, some of his subject matter outside of music can be dark and depressing at times. He says things like they are, but has shown and admitted that his videos cannot stop the tide of stupid. This can leave the laughs feeling somewhat hollow, and his bitter attitude can make some hate him no matter what he says. His opinion on pop music can swing into bias territory, especially in the Musical Autopsy of "Last Friday Night" by Katy Perry (I hated that song as well, but he did the review a bit of an injustice). He intends for people to see comedy in what he says, but not every video is a hit for the effort that must go into voicing and constructing a video.
Angry, sarcastic, mean, but fair.

Overall, I recommend giving him a look.
