THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
...it only took one video for me to never want to see him on Youtube again.[/subjective opinion]
Thanks for agreeing. :) I also hate his constant egg puns, too. Wasn't very funny when he first did them, but now they're really annoying. He is all out of ideas, doing as little as possible to please his fans.
You know what we are missing? A How To Fail channel where someone else tries to purposefully fail at everything, but somehow ends up doing everything correctly. With mixing up his failures so that it doesn't get boring, and stopping after 20 videos or so, so that the joke isn't driven into the ground.
And this is why you don't go on longer than you need to.
I think when he saw how high his subscriber base had become, he felt he needed to keep going, and had to outdo himself. And in an attempt to please his fans, he destroyed what was entertaining about his channel.
Indeed. I just clicked on this channel out of curiosity to see what new lows he has reached. Dear God. "How To Make Mc Donald's Fries" is so disgusting that it makes messy game shows look clean. And as I expected, his fans all act like it's harmless entertainment that's beyond criticism. It's a fetish channel now, because he clearly enjoys covering himself in food. Actually, I think some of his videos are age-restricted, but I think the whole channel should be. It's so vulgar that you could put his newer videos on a porn website and they wouldn't look out of place.
I feel How To Basic is one of those things that has gone on longer than it should. I've admittedly enjoyed him back in his "ditz failing at basic things" phrase but over the course, it has soured on me with the excessive sex jokes.
Eh, still a bigger gift to humanity than Pew Pew Deathwish Pie. But then again, so's rectal cancer.
Bengson26, I agree. He was actually somewhat funny back then. Hell, even his blandest early videos where he does a random thing like turn on a light or click a pen were funnier! In fact, I do not know how he hasn't been banned for breaking YouTube's policies multiple times for including sexual content. Yes, jamming a sausage inside a chicken over and over IS blatant sexual innuendo, as silly as it looks.
I just watched a couple of his videos today. "How to Catch a Pokémon" was just weird, and I wasn't too disturbed by that one.
The McDonalds fries one, on the other hand...let me tell you, I've played through Conker's Bad Fur Day with zero problems, but when I watched that video, not only could I not finish it, but I actually started dry heaving.
It's like...thanks, man, I wasn't planning on eating anything today, why do you ask?

It gets worse... there's also "How To Announce You're Pregnant".
It emerged from hell.
...At least he recycles.

A candidate for the worst YouTube channel ever
How To Basic is a YouTube channel starring a strange Australian man with an unhealthy obsession for eggs and making a mess. His videos deceive You Tubers into believing they're going to get actual how-to videos, but then they are given bizarre and often disgusting displays of deliberate failure instead.
I admit that I found HTB funny for a short while last year. I really think that some of his earlier videos were clever because most of them actually started like legitimate how-to videos, gradually becoming weirder and weirder, thus making the viewer laugh in the process. I never outright loved HTB, but I understood why people found him funny, and occasionally I actually found some of his content amusing, like when he puts an entire block of cheese in a blender when trying to make a cheesecake, or when he "rides" a toy horse and then attaches a rubber glove udder onto it to make it into a cow.
But nowadays, his videos are simply atrocious. HTB has gone from "hopelessly dumb klutz failing at everyday tasks" to "mentally ill food fetishist who desperately wants attention". Now, instead of starting like ordinary how-to videos, his videos instantly show off his deranged personality. And because he has Flanderized his personality, his videos have become far, far more disgusting and disturbing, and now they are simply crass and unfunny. He now pees on food, pretends a sausage is a penis, plays with uncooked meat like it's a toy, rubs food all over himself sexually and inserts images of creepy things into the video for no reason. He's also far more violent and/or messy with the food he's using, and it's so painfully repetitive now that it makes me wonder how this guy isn't bored of what he does.
But if that isn't bad enough, his fans are honestly some of the worst I have ever seen. HTB's fans adore everything he makes regardless of its humour value, and if you dare say his videos are gross or wasteful they'll just mock you sarcastically. To the fans, HTB is as funny as he ever was, but not to me. All I see now as a man making no effort, just acting like a brainless madman in each video because it gets views and likes automatically. He recycles the same foods, situations and crass sexual jokes over and over again, and now I have to say that his channel is one of the worst around today. Sheer tasteless idiocy aimed at YouTube's worst users.
