Lolcow Guilty Pleasure - feel bad about what you like

[samuraicrack]

So, are there any lolcows on here that you think are bad/cringey people, but still generally like their content or something they've done in the past?

For example, Ken Ashcorp is a gay furry but I still love his music after like 5 years.

Mine is the BLARMS incident.

Although some argue as to whether or not TheMysteriousMrEnter is a lolcow, I watch their content on Youtube that picks apart bad animation. I mean, who doesn't love watching a good dumpster fire?

He's found a pretty good niche in mocking awful cartoons, but man does he need an editor. His videos are rife with technical flaws and editing mistakes that are impossible to miss, and he often talks about inane nonsense or overlooks very obvious details. I'm reminded of when he complained about a King of The Hill episode where Hank Hill was cautious about his new Vietnamese neighbors because he thought the show was being racist, completely overlooking that this was the point of the episode in order to mock xenophobia.

And as a lolcow, he takes offense to people pointing out flaws in his videos so it's highly unlikely it'll improve. Ironically, his negative reaction to criticism rather than what he's being criticized for is often what turns me away from his videos.

Common Filth. Listened to his Radio Show and watch his Video Game Reviews.

I used to like GlitchedPuppet's art. Every now and then, I go through their character designs and take small snippets of inspiration from them - because for the shitty ripoffs they are, some of them are okay. Key word there being "some".

And when I was a wee Paula I used to enjoy Zaush's art.

The Francis Videos Boogie makes used to be really funny, even though now they are utter garbage.

I have a fondness for ContraPoints on YouTube. Most of the Lolcows aren't able to keep it together that well.

Honestly, it's gotta be the Nostalgia Critic or Angry Joe. They're normally too reliant these days on cringeworthy skits but in the past they used to be bearable or even sometimes enjoyable.

I actually used to follow Andrew Dobson and his friends as a teenager Looking back, I have no idea why I liked those comics so much. That was before he tried a reboot and turned himself into a blue bear.

I must admit that I actually enjoy Kevin Logan's Descent of Manosphere series, for the same reasons I enjoy browsing this site.

I don't agree with Logan politically, and I go into the videos expecting Logan to misrepresent people and take things out of context half the time. However, he does actually sift through hours and hours of videos from ridiculous people like Aurini, Warcorpse and CRP and find highlights of them at their absolute worst. I've also learned about a number of new lolcows for the first time through the series, and I have to appreciate him introducing me to them.

His humor is also cringeworthy 90% of the time, but now and then he actually makes a legitimately good joke (e.g. saying that Warcorpse is an appropriate subject for the series because he is both a man and a sphere).

I like watching Game Theory videos sometimes. They can be entertaining, even if I think the premise is stupid or off-base. The interactions between him and his wife can be cute too. I can only do a few at a time though, before MatPat's overly enthusiastic voice starts to seriously grate on my nerves.

 

[Rabbit without a hat]

I actually like listening to moviebob talking about the history of comic books and about obscure movies. You can tell he's got a really passion for it, which makes the rest of her personality and online presence all the more depressing

 

[Black Waltz]

I like nostalgia critic's older videos

I'm subbed to Jason Unruhe and Contrapoints simply because there are not that many radical leftists on Youtube.
