Unbelievably cringey YouTube stuff

It's been 10 years now: time for a cringe-humour revival. Related for my grim fascination for twee, affected vblogger stars of YouTube, I like to watch real self-made videos of people who have no self-awareness, or way too much self-awareness as it seems to them. Part of it is that I'm reminded of my own worst qualities in lots of ways. I have a few videos in this line but i'll start with two I've discovered most recently.

Guy sends a video message to a lucky girl on OK Cupid, showing off his unique, super-cute off-the-wall patter. Incidentally, hee reminds me of inexplicably popular YouTube videogame reviewer "JonTron" although apparently whatever this patter is, JonTron apparently does it right, according to his thousands of fans.

I alone am something like a whole 10% of the viewership for this video so, so as not to potentially cause mental upset for the uploader were he to find this thread, I'll post it without a hyperlink. In it, a grown adult sits on his bed and sets the world right on a philosophical confusion. Guess what he completely lacks? The rest of his videos are just as bizarre and become compulsive viewing, if you have the patience. "Pseudish" doesn't begin to describe where he's coming from.

Inexplicably? Fuck off, he's easily the most entertaining videogame reviewer on the Internet. His most recent video on Takeshi's Challenge is a work of art.

Videogame reviewer and racist, I'll thank you.

The most devastating takedown of "Jerry Sienfeld" you will ever hear.

He's just bad at verbalising his thoughts, so I have some sympathy for him, although it doesn't seem like he did any preparation before turning the camera on.  God knows why he'd be happy with uploading it - I hope for his sake he doesn't become a university lecturer.

Haha. Like I said, with these pseudy videos I feel like I'm looking in a mirror, in some moments. "As Bertrand Russel said... er... ..."

I can't watch that. I like him, but he needs to pull his fucking sheet down at the corners!!

Is this a joke? What he says at 2:45 feels like it has to be a pisstake.

Oops, I fucked up. I wasn't intending to link to that one, as I'm not certain whether the fella in question is Aspergers or not. It does fit the remit of the thread, as it's easily one of the most painful things I've ever sat through,.

I actually meant to link to this comically obnoxious teenager expressing his opinion on Jerry Seinfeld's oeuvre:

What's the verdict on this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNryMWQGZi4

It's very old, but I still can't quite figure it out. Is it a piss-take? Is she really genuinely upset? Is she a little disturbed? Or all three?

EDIT: Watching it again, there's a noticeable little laugh in the background at 2:03, but it's bloody well acted if it's a prank.

Rarely does a day go by when I don't thank the fucking lord that YouTube didn't exist when I was a kid.

I think I've linked this before, but this is in a similar vein of oddballness-

Fucking hell. When he started mentioning "Mein Kampf" I had a horrible feeling it was going to end in a classroom massacre.

All of, "Dr" Steve Rooster's videos, but especially Pussy Eating 101, soundtracked to Celine Dion.

Those statuses are obviously mental, but I don't get the "it's not your personal diary" comment. "Moses, I did not accept you on Facebook so that I could see your thoughts on things that are happening in your life."

That kid is definitely a worry. Someone needs to just ban his Facebook account and get him into some therapy to talk out what's going on and get some control back in, because that many statuses like that aren't healthy.

That said, guys, why don't I have a girlfriend?

The truest thing perhaps ever said on this forum.

I'm essentially just reposting from that bodybuilding forum now, but this is one area where I can get behind their philosophy of open-air bullying. Some people need to get a grip:

(man films thousands of his attempts to "flirt," being extremely, extremely cringey and frightening every woman he meets. If you can stand it, fill your boots.)

"Drawing a picture of 9/11 and Garfield"

I was about to highlight that exact bit.  That and the whole Mein Kampf business makes it seem like a wind up, but then again, there are crazier people on the internet.
