History DethroningMoment / ADoseOfBuckley

* tentonaraft: Mine would have to be his rant on Easter. While he doesn't have to like the holiday or celebrate it, I found it offputting how he [[CriticalResearchFailure completely refused to do any research into where Easter eggs or the Easter Bunny came from]]. A quick Google search would have told him that it was Pagan influences, since Easter was the appropriation of a Pagan fertility festival, and made it about Jesus' ressurection. This lack of research that could have been solved with a Google search is a big moment for me.

* Tropers/Yellow-Spider-Kitty: While I really like his Worst of 20XX series, The Dance A$$ segment had him whining about it being a charting song, and even said "Now seriously people, Stop buying this shit". Witch made him look like a douchebag imo, No one has control on what charts or not, and if a song you hate makes it big, then so be it.

* TheRedRipper: Just like a lot of people on this page, I too have had a point where I gave up on his videos. Granted, it was at first his downloadable Nerd Rants, where I had to pay for audio that was basically just a longer version of his rants [[JumpingtheShark that were not really that funny and just came off as whining.]] I eventually came back to his videos a few years later out of curiosity, and then I found my self literally screaming in anger upon seeing his most recent video, Fair Use Falsehoods. This video in a nutshell basically says that anyone who makes lets plays, fan made video games, fan conventions, fan fiction, fan art, and anything else containing copyrighted content(even when the fan made stuff is free) is not protected under fair use. This is despite the fact that fair use covers parody, reviews, and fan made content, [[CriticalResearchFailure something he clearly failed to read into.]] And both letsplys and reaction videos can both be considered reviews, go look at Jim Sterling's Squirty Play series. What angers me the most about this is the fact that his entire channel contains almost nothing but material he has never owned or bought the rights to use. His musical autopsy videos all contain audio that is owned by other companies, making him a hypocrite. If he did happen to get those rights, I would love to see the receipt.

** 8BrickMario: Adding to that, criticizing Sia's private image for being pretentious and annoying. While he may have a point with the peanut butter, Sia's privacy is because she has social anxiety and wouldn't want people recognizing her, so criticizing that seems inconsiderate or like a lack of research at best.

* whunt: Buckley's "Youtube Ads: Not for Everybody?" was probably his worst video. Buckley briefly mentions the heart of the issue being that YouTube is selective with applying their guidelines, but then rants about how ad providers act on the site. Dude, that was never the issue. The issue is that just now, at a time when a certain sect of Youtubers like [=MrEpzion=] and Phillip [=DeFranco=] are popular, they decide to demonetize "harmful opinions" and try to pressure not covering controversial subject matter. Youtube is not censoring of course, but dis-incentivising content creators can be just as bad and limits the voice of the people. And again, the fact that these are just now being selectively applied is the real issue here. The problem is not with how the revenue is distributed--If Youtube wants to make these content policies, they can--but how there is now pressure on Youtubers to act a certain way to make a livelihood on the site. He even plays the "Youtube is Not a Real Job" card simply to condescend to the platform and those who have elected to use it to their advantage. Newsflash: This is a free Internet, Buckley! If people want to pursue a career on Youtube, then they can do so as they please. I likely won't unsubscribe after this, but Buckley's arguments to this issue were one-sided, poorly researched, and very conceited to his own biases on YouTube conduct.

* [=FromtheWordsofBR=]: "Top 10 Worst Songs of 2015" was oddly underwhelming [=IMO=], but the worst part was definitely the Music/{{Sia}} segment. [[HePannedItNowHeSucks Not because I love her music]], moreso the fact that [[FanHater he believes anybody who likes her are hipsters who are "tricked" to like her with her image]]. [[FlatWhat What?]] People do have legitimate reasons for liking someone; painting an entire fanbase in this manner is just selfish.

* fairygirl567 The DMOS would have to be something that I had to pay for, everyone knows how he sells podcast versions of his shows on Bandcamp well I was curious and bought one about Bronies, I was a starting Pegasister at the time and wanted to listen to someone like him and see what his opinion was. I hated every minute of that video. Buckley came off as every other brony hater and it pissed me off so much, he ragged on it for dumb reasons and said he didn't get bronies. He said he didn't get bronies! While at the same time being a nerd himself, he doesn't accept or get bronies! I hate people like that! They think it's okay that they do something odd or weird but a grown man watching a kids show is so bad! Yeah, no it's not! Yes, it's weird. I am not denying that but the way Buckley talked made me doubt being a fan of the show and I kid you not I ended up posting a paragraph-length comment on his message board and I came off as desperate. I actually didn't watch his videos for awhile after that. At least with someone like, I hate everything, it makes since he wouldn't like the show and make fun of bronies, but even for Buckley that video came off as way too mean spirited. This was a waste of money and I'll never watch that video again.

While he may have a point with the peanut butter, Sia's privacy is because she has social anxiety and wouldn't want people recognizing her, so criticizing that seems inconsiderate or like a lack of research at best.

*** Flippy: but people already know what she looks like,hell she showed her face on previous album covers; so she is being pretentious suddenly trying to hide herself

* [=FromtheWordsofBR=]: I love ''A Dose of Buckley'' to the point where I didn't mind his bashing of "Ain't It Fun" by Music/{{Paramore}} (which is one of my most favorite songs and is from one of my most favorite albums). However, his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXHmOpj1KoU Musical Autopsy of]] Music/OneDirection left a bitter taste in my mouth. At first it starts out fine, but it goes downhill completely when Buckley says that if you hate One Direction, then you would've hated Music/TheBeatles back when they were at the peak of their popularity because they both were British(-Irish) boy bands who sang pop songs about love. I don't mean to sound like a copycat ([[StealthPun lul]]) of [=youngbloodfantasy91=]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRmVTeKtkS8 great commentary on this video]], but this is a very terrible comparison for a number of reasons including:
## The Beatles managed to start a new revolution in the sound of pop music--they started the British Invasion, which led to many other great bands like The Animals, [[Music/VanMorrison Them]], Music/TheKinks, Music/TheYardbirds, and so much more, and also had many innovative elements to their melodic sound (like changing the viewpoint in "She Loves You") that stood out from other pop artists. One Direction only sparked newer boy bands that sound barely dissimilar to each other (looking at you, 5 Seconds of Summer).
## The Beatles' lyrics may be simple, but they managed to create melodies so timeless it doesn't really matter. Not to mention, many other bands in the British Invasion used simple lyrics too (and also made melodies just as timeless).
## The Beatles and many other beat groups wrote their own lyrics by themselves and had 1 or 2 producers. One Direction may have a couple songs where they sort of wrote their own lyrics in conjunction with others, but you can count those songs with your hands--and those same simple lyrics [=1D=] were written by tons of other people rather than only themselves. Oh, and they also use a dozen producers to make their music.
## The Beatles grew their sound to include elements of art rock, psychedelia, and even proto-metal (as seen on "Helter Skelter"). One Direction only included folk elements in their music overtime. That's it. Sure, Buckley acknowledges this, but basically pushes this aside to continue with this bad comparison.
## At the very end, Buckley says to keep in mind that if you dislike a modern boy band for making SillyLoveSongs, one of the most beloved acts of all-time did it too. As well as many other British Invasion groups who capitalized on the Beatles' success, actually sounded good, and expanded their sound as well. I have never heard a full Beatles album, but even then, with all these points in mind this video becomes incredibly myopic and biased.

* TT454: I used to really like Buckley's videos, and he still respect him as a comedian as many of his jokes have made me laugh. However, after a recent run of many videos that are, in my opinion, [[JumpingtheShark boring, whiny and forgettable]], I've decided to quit watching his content. I've become really sick of his arrogance, his voice, his increasingly mean-spirited tone and his over-reliance on sexual humour. This is why I have decided to choose the video "Apologies For Comedy" as his Dethroning Moment. This video isn't part of his recent bad run of videos, but I've never liked this one and always avoided viewing it. It's a video where he argues that comedians shouldn't have to apologise for comedy, no matter how offensive or hateful their jokes are, and it, to me, exemplifies everything wrong with most of Buckley's newer videos (late 2014-present). The problem with the video is simple: it's extremely hypocritical. In the video, Buckley makes fun of offended people for being "selfish babies" who consider things poor taste, and yet much of Buckley's success has come from being blatantly offended by various matters and ranting angrily about it! In other words, he's a hypocrite, and this video foreshadowed his decline. In many of his newer videos, he's become just as whiny as the people he shames in that video. So he's allowed to rant and complain as much as he likes, but no-one else is?

* TT454: Although ''WebVideo/ADoseOfBuckley'' is my all-time favourite YouTube channel and I've watched his videos many times (I'm just as cynical about society as he is), I don't agree with all of his opinions. To me, his worst moment is in his video "Facebook Memes, Viral Marketing And Gullible Idiots" where he claims that no decent rock music has been released since the 1990s. This declaration is beyond ignorant and completely contradicts his two anti-nostalgia videos, where he makes fun of people who dismiss everything new. I can accept other's opinions, but not generalizations as hypocritical and as extreme as this.

* venicerenzetti: I'm always aware that any favorite web star of mine is gonna have opposing and sometimes unpopular opinions. Buckley has said some things that I've strongly disagreed with—namely his video regarding celebrity overdoses (generalized every junkie as a piece of shit and said he doesn't have to respect the Monteith family since Cory didn't respect his by overdosing on heroin) and his video about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (said that ALS isn't a disease worth really raising awareness for since there aren't a lot of cases of it and many years of research hasn't done much)—but in one of his slides in his "Jian Ghomeshi: The Only Bad Person in Canada" video, he featured the thumbnails of some of his videos and added the caption "Videos that some people (babies) found controversial". The way he generalized anyone who doesn't agree with his opinion as "babies" just left a bad taste in my mouth, as if to say anyone that disagrees with him is like that no matter what their rebuttal is. Doesn't this guy generally target people who can't take criticism?
