Well, then, I can't imagine how godawful other YouTube original series were to make it "a good series". Johnny Has a Little Smallpox? We'll All Be Dead By 30? Why does Everyone Smell Like Poo?

And "Gaylord Steambath"? Really? That name sucks to beyond high heavens and probably so does the villain, too. At least Dark Goose was a meme.(an awful, garbage excuse for a meme at that, sure, but still a meme.) Did the villains of the shows I described above make him seem "good"? First of all, ever heard of never judging a book by it's cover?

Second of all, the name is ironic. It's supposed to be commentary on how ridiculously some people name themselves in their game personas. The whole concept of the show is to be commentary on aspects of the playerbase of multiplayer servers.

For example, there's this old man stereotype that "trains" the main characters (since they're noobs, gives them the basis of the game) whos' fucking 6 or something. And his voice shows it. This is purposeful clashing between characteristics, since you don't need to be particularly old or wise to be really good at playing a game. 1. That's an expression, and it's practically worthless at this point, since all books say they are good, so the person picks them up and reads them no matter which one.

2. By that logic. the Emoji Movie's good because it's supposed to be commentary on how you need to "believe in yourself". And no, you do, since children brains are too underdeveloped to be really good at a game. Maybe when they're teenagers or adults or have played it a lot. Oh, and their increasing responsibilities, too.
