I mean the content is decent and the other guys are fine but is this the Buzzfeed of Car Channels?

He’s a bit... energetic... but otherwise I have no issue with those videos.

Yeah, I’m not a fan. He knows how to grow a channel though so, um, he’s got that going for him.

Never heard of him before

If you go see his videos 6 months back he’s very mellow. Guess you gotta put on a show to capture the attention of Gen Y Z whatever

Up and coming channel that’s really blown up in the last 8 months or so. Other guys in the channel are fine. Some of their videos are very informative.

Haha just watched that Stinger one yesterday, the guy’s alright, his goofiness is funny.

I watched 8 seconds and... I’m done.

I watched his Stinger review as well and my irritation level was making a Sine wave pattern

That’s CarThrottle.

It’s true. Jump cuts for no reason and a near manic personality or the little ones tune out

I’m torn, he’s annoying as fuck, but when he did the MR2 video and it got posted 50 thousand times on the MR2OC facebook page I got tired of seeing it real quick.
but it was accurate and without the same tired tropes that most videos on the MR2 tread. (e.g omglolsnapoversteer #mostdangerouscarever)

It’s all about churning that content

He’s ok but for some stories he skips a lot of details in the sake of time, and his pronunciation is off which drives me mad.
As a presenter I like the guy from FI better.

Pumphrey’s alright in my book. Yeah he overdoes it a little, but I still enjoy the Donut videos a lot. Derek D had a tendency to overdo it too, at least when Fast Lane Daily was still a thing. I miss that show.
Vehicle Virgins and Car throttle, on the other hand... I just can’t get into their presentation style. They’re slightly more tolerable than Scotty Kilmer.

At least he isn’t a total asshat, and is a relatively cool dude.

I don’t like his face in the preview so I’ve never watched one.
I have to say though. Just quietly. I like Tav and the Lambo thing is a goldmine. But something about those vids does irk me a little

I’m just not in the target demographic for this kind of behavior. I much prefer stuff like TFL Car:

The info is ok, but his goofiness is a little too much 90% of the time.
I feel like if Harry Metcalf did them I would really really like them!

I dig it, the content on the type r, m3, wrx, etc. has been informative yet also hilarious. The other videos Donut media runs are some boring dude voicing over static images...

Some videos are informative no doubt. I guess the Over the Top presentation mostly works in this day and age for a younger demographic because their channel is blowing up.

Him and his channel are pretty bad. There is some good info there but it’s covered up by the stupid bro life. It’s like you can tell they all drive Subaru’s and vape. It gets old really quick.
Also they have no clue what a sleepers are

When it comes to just straight up reviews Alex on Autos, SavageGeese, StraightPipes, Everyday Driver,Redline for me. I watch TFL every now and then.

The anecdotes (clearly does his homework) and playful narrative (it flows, not a textbook) work for me. I am not sure what the target demographic is, but it is likely younger than me.
I find most automotive video content to be overly long, full of flowery often useless narrative or chalk full of music instead of car noises. It’s hard to trust that people are not just reiterating what they heard/read elsewhere even if it may be false. Truth be told the content I enjoy most is the writing of Chris Harris, Jack Baruth, Sam Smith, Matt Farah and the like.

I can’t stand this kind of shit. It might as well be called Mountain Dew Supreme Performance Car Hour and just not hide the fact it’s for manic ADHD kids whose blood is 25% caffeine.

LOL that’s an apt name
