I was like "so wait we don't have thread for this" since I figured out to ask something, but then realized I had to make one myself for the premiere sarcastic "here is what to not do" video essay series :p

But yeah, I'm kinda surprised I feel like this channel is still going strong. Like I'd have thought you'd run out of stuff to comment on eventually but nah there are so many ways to write different things in terrible manner that seems like material never runs out :'D I guess there is bigger risk of humor becoming stale than running out of stuff being commented on, so pretty glad it still holds up well for now at least.

I don't frequently watch his channel, but I think he puts out neat videos. My favorite probably would be the one about Deconstructions. I think it's rife with really good stuff.

[up][up] His videos are really good and make you think a lot about tropes and how they can be and are used. Also would recommend not judging this book by it's cover.

Why waste time when you can see the last sunset last?

Ya, my favorite segment is when he sarcastically lists good or rarely used ideas/writing prompts that you could use to write something fresh instead of the doing the most cliched way of using topic he is talking about x'D
