re: Does anyone else enjoy watching "1st time watching _______" reaction videos on YouTube?

The ones where our urban friends listen to stuff like the Bee Gees, Queen or "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins allegedly for the first time are always amusing.

I went down a rabbit hole a while back watching their reactions to Blazing Saddles. The younger they are, the more shocked and uncomfortable they are with some of the language and that made me

Watch the girl from "Charismatic Voice". It's so over the top obtuse, it's comical.

She’s one of the ones I’ve seen. Can’t stand her. She was doing one on Chris Cornell and seemed like she was actually criticizing him while pretending she never heard of him. Ridiculous.

I first came across reaction videos with this dude named NoLifeShaq (I think), and he was pretty funny. But he got tired to me so I moved on.

There is a group called the Cartier Family and it's a group of young black dudes who go to ULL. I watched a good bit of their stuff because I liked their vibe and they were local. But then they started reacting to more and more political shite and less music so I sort of tuned out.

I currently check out Black Pegasus sometimes, but I've found that I do it more so I can just listen to the music than anything else. I often times don't really care what the reactor has to say about it.

And of course most of the "first time ever!!" reactions are bullshite. There can't be many people alive in the 90s who have never heard Metallica or Phil Collins. Even if you don't like that kind of music, that shite was ubiquitous back then.

So to answer the OP, I do check it out sometimes, but knowing that it's not really their first time and mainly just because I like the music they choose.

I watch a few movie reactors because they're entertaining and it's fun getting new perspectives on movies I've seen before.

I've had this idea to do reviews of actual good B movies and shlock. I don't like the "so bad they're good" type of movies that RLM and a few others do, but there are plenty of great low budget action and horror movies out there that I legitimately enjoy. I don't exactly have a face or personality to be in front of a camera though

I guess in a way he at least seems fairly genuine usually.

But again, I find myself FFWDing through a lot of what he says and think I just more like hearing the music itself most of the time.

---

Pretty much the same. I'm usually there for the music and instead of just listening, get a different perspective on it.

Another channel I've watched is the Lost in Vegas guys. Sometimes the one dude can be a bit off-putting, but overall they seem genuine and don't pretend to be shocked and never heard of any artist type idiocy.

They're all fake. Watch the girl from "Charismatic Voice". It's so over the top obtuse, it's comical.

She at least provides some actual insight from a vocal mechanical perspective. No way she hasnt heard most of these songs but I enjoy her vids. I couldnt believe she did Mayonaise by Smashing Pumpkins which is one of my fav songs

Some folks watch scripted "reality TV", I watch reaction vids. It started way back with sports events - Kick 6, as the all timer, but then evolved to folks discovering "old" stuff on streaming.

I have doubts on many claims of "first time" watching, and some will fess up and admit having seen things years ago, when they were young and didn't really know what they were watching, but there's something for everyone.

Rewatched a few series too. Damn, there's some good stuff back in the day.

I bet you watched Tiger King, huh?

Jersey Shore?

Milf Manor?




Shut up.

Fake reaction video checklist:

Surrender Cobra
Jaw drop
Pause and repeat the words hold up hold up
Make a face that looks like you’re smelling shite which expresses the idea that something is “nasty” in a complementary form

It seems like every video my wife sends me has some split screen random fat person pasted over it and shitty laugh effects or songs dubbed in it

Not a fan
