    It's a product of the modern culture of liberal idiots whose only desire in life is to be entertained by childish babble muttered by a homosexual.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,949 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    He was funnier when he wasn't trying so hard. Love his early videos!

    Being called gay is a compliment in modern liberal culture as homosexuals are praised and treated like royalty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    its the road to celebrity these days, granted not everyone who blogs or puts up youtube videos will gain success from it but if someone can pull it off then fair play.

    except Justin Bieber, cos fcuk him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 335 ✭✭johnnycnandy


    Fair f*cks to him. He capitalised on a new form of media, produced something that became hugely popular, and used it to make bloody great wads of cash.

    Sadly, you're very much mistaken. The forbidden group posses absolute control over the internet. Whatever becomes popular is whatever dumbs down the masses to suit their agenda. And before you say it, Alex Jones and other 'conspiracy gurus' are all shills.

    Lies. See my above post.

    What are you doing tonight? ;););)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,759 ✭✭✭✭dlofnep


    I say fair play to him. Irish begrudgery is so annoying. The guy is harmless, and is just having a bit of fun. If we could all make 5 million doing what he does, we'd do it too.

    I know I'll Google him!!!!!

    Saves on links.
    added a link for you,

    he doesn't do anything special or anything that hasn't been done before, but i was shocked to see he was worth so much for doing such a basic thing, goes to show if you have the means to do something it could pay off big time, even if its been done before

    that guy is funny (not the youtube lad)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,050 ✭✭✭✭cena


    He said on one of his videos that that article wasn't true at all. He can be quite funny at times. The cartoon vids are quite good. http://www.raywj.com/2011/06/15/tig-ol-bitties/

    But I find this better at times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHw39YX46Fc&feature=g-user-u&context=G2d56fd7UCGXQYbcTJ33aUXlYkKCVUzQ43SUmPdI6CAc43XnNZZAI

    I don't know why people expect him to be funny, likeable or produce content that they would find funny considering you're not a tween to young teen which this is aimed at,
    I subbed to him when I see a video pop up of his I click onto it, pause it, scroll into the description and just watch the three original videos without his commentary. I don't see those kind of strange or stupid videos that are being talked about because of Google/Youtube search being useless for browsing or coming across videos as everything is altered as recommended videos which are the videos that YT thinks will makes the most money based on your previous searches.

    I don't dislike him or the fact he's made money, I dislike the fact that YT spend so much effort into promoting the same bunch of youtubers during its growth that there is such a small bland pool of popular youtubers, if it was easier to find genuinely entertaining content not from promoted channels it would be so much better, ah yt tries to control what their viewers watch to follow growth projections.

    watched him for the first 3 years but when it got over profesional and just a little bit after he moved to LA I stopped watching his videos, his song are rude terrible and not funny! (I'm not one to say anyting's rude) I now watch Philip Defranco, who makes great videos and doesnt make the same jokes in every show! also all his fans are 13 years old and dont understand the interwebs!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭scamalert


    just started,you must been in a coma for couple years op.And telling the truth i dont watch him anymore,as its to scripted and fake,and LA **** is just a disgrace to look at them getting pissed and acting ejjit,same u can see every Saturday on every club here.But well at least he made it to the top and is no.1 now :]

    What?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 618 ✭✭✭Carter P Fly


    He earned it through hard work and buisness savvy. credit where credit is due.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,799 ✭✭✭gerrycollins


    which is it? is he worth 5mil or has he 5mil in the bank. big difference


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,883 ✭✭✭frozenfrozen


    His videos are well edited for the purpose they serve. He does find entertaining videos to 'review'. He knows how to treat his audience and makes sure people keep coming back.

    But damn he is annoying.

    no i haven't been in a coma Ive known about him for a year or two myself, i just never thought you could become a millionaire from making you tube videos about videos on you tube,

    every show like this is scripted, anyone who thinks they arent are a bit naive, its just some people try and make it looks less professional to give the view they are the lowly underdog, weather it looks good or bad you still need to pay someone to edit the video, its up to you how good you want it to look, or how unsimilar you want it to look from someone elses videos for fear of people thinking you copied someone else,

    the vast majority are copycats, they just have different wrappings,

    i just thought it was an interesting way to become a millionaire:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭WolfForager


    Heh, if he's worth 5mil, I wonder how much Philip DeFranco is worth....
