Videos for people is great.

1: I wasn't saying I was going to win automatically, I just figured I probably would win if you kept posting those dinky little four line paragraphs. Don't worry, though, your new argument looks real long and engaging, so you have a good chance of coming out victorious. Finally, I have a competent opponent! 2: Correct, my statement is biased. You have to oppose my biased statement. 3: He is completely unique. Think about it. Go through everything else in your mind. Does anybody, ANYBODY, use little MS paint stick figures to enact their sketches? I don't think so. And, certainly, he's unique for choosing not to feature any dialogue or motion. It may look worse, but what he loses in quality, he makes up for in hilarity. True, many of his sketches could be done by someone else, but they would not be the same video, because the format would be different. The format is what matters. I'll rebut your arguments for the 5 videos I posted, and then we'll be done talking about them. At the end of this round, I'll introduce a new argument about the channel in general, which you will argue with in the next round. OK? I want to cover a lot here. Also, I just realized that half of your supposed massive argument is just my quotes, and the other half is your criticism of my quotes. Please, do your own argument a little more, instead of just repeating what I say. 4: In his video about bacteria, he does show a good deal of knowledge on bacteria. He knows that Strep is a type of bacteria. Some people might say it's a virus. His metaphor about the Nazis is pretty good too. I don't think this video has anything to do with the butterfly effect. I don't think you understand the message behind the humor portrayed here. He's not being serious about saving the bacteria. He's actually POINTING OUT that it's stupid to try to save everything. You've got to learn to interpret his humor. 5: I know he is referring to man's greatest follies. However, the launching of the Voyager spacecraft is one of mankind's greatest achievements, because it carries everything that alien life might need to know about who we were as a people. Again, you fail to miss a crucial bit and misinterpret the whole thing. He is saying that we should be honest with the aliens, and he is correct in this respect, because if we were to send out a record with the failures of mankind on it, we should do it soon. Outer space is huge, and Voyager won't reach the nearest solar system for a few thousand years, so by the time aliens discover it, we will be long gone. It's not a radio satellite, it's a literal spaceship with everything about humanity on it. His point is valid and NASA should do something about it. We shouldn't be embarrassed of our failures, we should recognize them as crucial for aliens to know about. We can't send out the good version, wait for aliens to discover it, and then send a bad one. We need to pop that baby out now. Here, we see his talent for social activism, which I think is pretty darn important. 6: I agree, existential crises are an incredibly played out theme. But doesn't he make it unique in the way he portrays such an event? You can tell it's not just your run of the mill type parody, it has some serious stuff in it. For one, I like the way in which he introduces us to the video game, and the title card of the video game shows how he can create semi-believable fictional works of media. There is no game in which "squares fight," but the layout of the video game makes you wonder if you've seen it before. The bizarre topic of squares fighting also brings up the question of just how stupid video games are. The computer screen shot, evidently, is meant to look like the ling string of text seen right before a Windows PC turns on, and he makes a very good mockery. However, aside from this, hidden with the garbled computer text are a few funny little hidden messages, placed for people with astute eyes. The best part of this video, though, is the contrast between when he first enters the black void and after. Before he enters, the video game seems like a simplistic mockery. After he comes out of the black void, the fantasy is left behind and we discover that, within this universe of squares, there are real things, like religion, and jobs, and romance, and death. There's a great comment on fiction. I see no similarity to Deadpool. Also, at three minutes, this is on the long end of the spectrum. He put a lot of time and effort into this. 7: I don't think he tries to annoy anybody with this video, he is simply trying to remind us that the mention of race is not enough to qualify as racism, as some people are prone to believe. Aside from that, racism isn't even the central issue, he's just talking about something which he thinks is important, as always. The two genres of film he points to can be confusing, and, like always, he pushes for social change. Very nice video. 8: Making something non-controversial controversial is an engaging form of comedy. It makes us think outside the box, not only about what controversy is, but also about why he would talk about things we don't care about. It's bizarre, but bizarre things are often better than normal things. In fact, the way in which he refers to an ordinary substance as some kind of potent drug is used pretty often by funny people. You can find lots of examples of this, in all kinds of media. This video also makes people wonder what lemon juice tastes like. 9: The videos are not average, they are fantastic philosophical works of art that go beyond the sort of garbage entertainment usually shown on YouTube. I think that, perhaps, they should be sent into space in a spaceship, so aliens would know what good humor REALLY is. His humor has nothing to do with being old, or young. People can be funny at any time in life they want to. 10: He is highly underappreciated and deserves far more recognition than he receives. He does not have few supporters because his work is bad, as some have thought, but because other channels are more popular but LESS entertaining. Very few people choose to look at underappreciated channels, and so he gets very little exposure and very few views. He thinks differently, so people tend to reject him. Nothing is wrong with his sketches, though. They don't have real people, or dialogue, or movement. But they're still just as good as anything else. Nobody else would do a video about the Wright Brothers. Nobody would talk about Anthrax as if it's a prescription. Those are his ideas, and his ideas alone. Now that we've finished up those five videos, I'll bring up something else about his stuff and you can rebut it. There are a few things which I haven't gone over, which I think could be worth mentioning. 1. Codes. In some of his videos, at the end, a split second before the screen goes black, a little string of text pops up. It seems like complete gibberish, but it's not. It's actually a code which he cleverly inserts there, and since we see it for only a moment, we become curious and try to pause on it, and, thus, we figure it out. The codes are never odd when solved, just little thoughts. He never mentions them as a feature of his channel. I've solved about two, but I won't spoil them. It's a very inventive way to get people to pay attention. 2. References. Throughout his videos, there are loads and loads of references to pop culture. In the episode "Ralph Finally Loses It," a blatant parody of The Honeymooners, Ralph reads a newspaper which reads, "Cubs lose again". Not an obscure reference, sure, but some people might miss it. Also, in "The Guys who Made That Sappy Gay Cartoon," evidently a reference to the 2017 short animated film "In a Heartbeat," He creates very inventive usernames for fictional YouTube accounts. Not exactly a reference, but still, an accurate representation. Finally, in "Christmas Nativity," Joseph makes a prophetic reference to the Virgin of Guadalupe, an event which Videos covers more fully in a later video, "Spanish Class". Maybe he's trying to make it appear as if all his videos take place in the same universe. 3. The new Christmas special. During the last round, he hadn't put it out yet, but this one is a big parody of Home Alone, which stands at a whopping six minutes, one of the longest videos he's ever done, so a lot of effort must have been put into it. Very nice for the holiday season. 4. rock and ROOOLLLLLLL guy. This is undoubtedly the best part of his channel. He's made 13 at this point, all little 11-second clips of a stick figure playing a guitar in front of a colorful background. It's almost a tradition at this point. He's also made a few other rock and ROOOLLLLLLL guy videos, one where he talks about his life as a rock star and one where he fights aliens. These gems could be a comment on the undeserved popularity of rock stars, and perhaps even a reference to Videos for People's own undeserved underratedness. Please, rebut the points above.
