Does this justify their actions? Depends on how you feel about the outcome. (This, of course, does not apply to the actual Patrick Willems).

to:

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: [[invoked]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voxRYbqrrzg He feels this way]] about Film/TheViewAskewniverse. While he still thinks that Creator/KevinSmith in his prime was a good screenwriter, and his portrayal of people with nerdy interests as cool was downright revolutionary, his direction was flat to the point where it detracted from the story (with the exception of ''Film/{{Clerks}}'', whose documentary style gave it a "hangout" feel and which he thinks is the only movie in the series that's still good). He also laments Smith's refusal to grow as a filmmaker, especially after being burned by the failure of ''Film/JerseyGirl'', a film that Patrick thinks is severely underrated and is in fact Smith's best film. He refers to Smith as a "gateway director", a filmmaker who people discover in high school and get interested in filmmaking as a result, and believes that Creator/JuddApatow and Creator/EdgarWright made Smith redundant by taking what worked about his writing and adding actual directorial chops to go with it.

* FunWithSubtitles: In [[https://youtu.be/4mwOj4IWdt8 "What Happened to Francis Ford Coppola?"]], when Jake goes to Patrick's apartment, both are wearing facemasks (because of the pandemic), which makes their voices muffled, which means subtitles are used.

The channel started back in 2011, but it really took off due to two videos: [[https://youtu.be/UngE0qn3VRY "What if Wes Anderson Directed X-Men?"]] and [[https://youtu.be/hpWYtXtmEFQ "Why Do Marvel's Movies Look Kind of Ugly?"]], a video about the color grading in MCU films. Since then, his channel has mainly been focused on creating two kinds of videos: video essays that talk about some aspect of filmmaking and Hollywood (like [[https://youtu.be/tdR_GU3Hi9U "Robin Hood, King Arthur, and Hollywood's Problem with Public Domain Properties"]]) and the "Patrick Explains" series, which started with [[https://youtu.be/MolWjT2eDuc "Patrick Explains THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS (and Why It's Great)"]], where Patrick sits down with his parents and tells them about a movie[=/=]franchise[=/=]show and why it's great. During the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, while Patrick was stuck at his parents house, he also shifted the format to make a "Quarantine Talk Show." Both the video essays and "Patrick Explains" have a slow, long-running MythArc that is coming to a head in 2021.

'''Patrick (H) Willems''' is a [=YouTube=] channel run by, well, Patrick H. Willems. Willems is a filmmaker who uses the channel to post short films (or "narrative shorts"), video essays where he tries to "put his degree in Cinema Studies to use analyzing and deconstructing movies," and videos where he just talks about filmmaking or various aspects thereof.

The channel started back in 2011, but it really took off due to two videos: [[https://youtu.be/UngE0qn3VRY "What if Wes Anderson Directed X-Men?"]] and [[https://youtu.be/hpWYtXtmEFQ "Why Do Marvel's Movies Look Kind of Ugly?"]], a video about the color grading in MCU films. Since then, his color has mainly been focused on creating two kinds of videos: video essays that talk about some aspect of filmmaking and Hollywood (like [[https://youtu.be/tdR_GU3Hi9U "Robin Hood, King Arthur, and Hollywood's Problem with Public Domain Properties"]]) and the "Patrick Explains" series, which started with [[https://youtu.be/MolWjT2eDuc "Patrick Explains THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS (and Why It's Great)"]], where Patrick sits down with his parents and tells them about a movie[=/=]show and why it's great. During the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, while Patrick was stuck at his parents house, he also shifted the format to make a "Quarantine Talk Show." Both the video essays and "Patrick Explains" have a slow, long-running MythArc that is coming to a head in 2021.

Patrick's show (which, aside from "Patrick Explains," is just called [[CharacterTitle "Patrick (H) Willems"]]) also involves Patrick's crew, who both help Patrick make the videos and star in them, so let's [[https://youtu.be/B6SuC_Wl9nQ meet the team]]: Matt and Jake Torpey, Mike Curran (working remotely from Philadelphia), Chloe Holgate, Kendra James (who usually works behind the scenes in costuming[=/=]producing), and Scott Thomas. Oh and [[MythArc Charl]]. [[ArcWords Charl is the reason for their success.]]

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF1fG3gT44nGTPU2sVLoFWg Link to the channel]]. Patrick also has another channel, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMAwBUlaxyqZY-2hVac8qgg Patrick Willems Presents]], mainly for commentaries and Q & [=As=].

-----
!Tropes in ''Patrick (H) Willems'':

* AlternateContinuity: The main videos and the "Patrick Explains" videos take place in two different continuities. [[spoiler:Well, they ''did'' until [[https://youtu.be/ZWqnT147OAE "Patrick Explains BATMAN: THE MOVIE (And Why It's Great)"]], which ends with the "Patrick Explains" Patrick and Charl jumping dimensions and crossing over into the main universe. Except, as we've seen in the main videos, this event took place a few ''years ago'' for them.]]
* AsHimself: Every person is playing a version of themselves, with some exceptions (like Patrick's agent).
* BeardOfSorrow: During the Quarantine Talk Show, Patrick's beard gradually gets bigger and bigger as he gets more and more isolated. He finally cuts it off before going back to the city.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGod[=/=]JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In-Universe Patrick. He's obsessive, often to the point of ignoring other people's interests or feelings, but he's also ''really'' excited about movies, television, and comics. Does this justify his actions? Depends on how you feel about the outcome. (This, of course, does not apply to the actual Patrick Willems.)
* MysteriousStranger: A mysterious stranger with high-tech gadgets seems to be tailing Patrick and his friends in an attempt to stop Charl. In [[https://youtu.be/_V-I1_fVV-M "Dick Tracy: The Most Bonkers Comic Book Movie Ever"]], it's revealed that they are [[spoiler:an alternate version of Chloe.]]
* MythArc: For several years now, there has been a slow building story arc involving Charl the Coconut. Patrick seems to believe he's alive [[spoiler:and he ''is'', revealing to Chloe that he can talk and that he has ''big'' plans for the channel]].
* ParentsAsPeople: Patrick's parents are also characters and generally try to get Patrick to do better...with not good results. But they do ''try''. After Patrick is arrested for tax evasion and escapes prison, Patrick's father even tells him to run and that he'll take care of the [=YouTube=] channel while he's gone.
* SeriesMascot: Charl the Coconut.
