Anyone else here watch Some Jerk With A Camera? I have to say, I've watched so many reviews online that I'm a bit ashamed to admit that, but of everyone that I've watched, his videos tend to be of higher caliber than any others. He's got such an amazing style and such a unique gimmick that it's hard not to love it.

For those who are unaware, Some Jerk With a Camera is a show created by Tony Goldmarknote  in which he reviews theme parks. Yes, theme parksnote . Specifically, he mostly focuses on Disney's theme parks, being a huge Disney buff, actually going to the parks (at least, the ones in California, since that's where he lives) and filming on location there. His videos tend to be like mini-documentaries about their subjects, with little (and sometimes not-so-little) jabs at what he's discussing here and there, though the tone is generally very positive. He has a very refreshingly irreverent sense of humor, too.

Anyway, he just finished up a series of retrospectives on episodes of ABC sitcoms in which the characters travel to the Disney. He's soon going to start a third season with a series of videos about Universal Studios attractions.

Is he that guy who has made cameos in few TGWTG producer videos while on theme parks?

I always did wonder whats up with that guy

I only saw him in two of Mike J's videos, was he in any others?

But yeah, that's him. He's also in a TV Trash video.

Fun fact: He managed to get Weird Al Yankovic—yes, the Weird Al Yankovicto appear briefly in two of his videos. Camaraderie among parody musicians, I suppose?

I do remember him talking about Weird Al in those cameos...

I might be wrong, but I think he might have also made cameo in one of Hagan's videos... Might be wrong, but Hagans videos do sometimes have cameos from obscure reviewers so its possible.

I believe Hagan cameoed in a couple of Jerk's videos, so I can see that.

That just reminded me, apparently he and Oancitizen have a collaboration they're working on. It's probably going to be a review of Escape From Tomorrow.

His videos are incredible. His new album is great. This has been the most generic comment ever.

I like Kevin Smith, Shirley Bassey, Futurama, and long walks on the beach. I'm also a Leo, the dullest of all zodiacs.

[1] Tony just got accepted into That Guy With The Glasses! I LOVE his work, so hopefully this'll give him some more recognition!

I babble on about Disney and old film.

Dude's one of the funniest guys on the Internet. He deserves more fame.

[up] Absolutely, out of all new producers who joined Channel Awesome in 2014, he's probably the best. I was shocked when I found out that The Country Bears review had been his debut video, as it seemed to be made by someone who had at least five years of experience.

He did have experience doing comedy and videos prior, just not reviews.

I did not know he had a thread! Now I know. His, Wire's, and Luke's review of ''Finding Dory is what convinced me to see the film.

Three jerks, a riff, a day in '55 '56, and a surprise cameo.

WAIT, WHAT, THERE'S A NEW EPISODE THEN? HOLY CRAP I NEED TO WATCH RIGHT N—

In the first episode of the new vlog series Some Jerk Visits

...oh. I'm disappointed. Still will watch, but I feel like he could still do a proper episode on Knott's Berry Farm.

[up] From what Tony has been saying, we'll have to wait for the new season until 2018.

EDIT: Also, he might do an episode on those rides at some point but feels that's more of Doggans' territory.

Tony tells us about a... strange YT comment about Mary Poppins. It's long but trust me, it's worth the read.

The video's comments got disabled already, so I'm going all over that Twitter feed to find the ones that got screencapped. grin

Bumping this up to say I'm enjoying his "Escape from Vault Disney" podcasts where he and some friends talk about random shows on Disney+. The most recent was everyone's favorite Nightmare Fuel, Return to Oz.

One thing they didn't mention — for at least one TV showing, I guess the runtime was too short so they added some bumper segments featuring Bill Cosby as the wizard in a balloon watching over what was going on.

Ha, I should have looked it up. I was actually remembering Filmation's Journey Back to Oz, so never mind. Cosby hosted two TV airings, but was replaced by Milton Berle in subsequent airings. So never mind.
