Oh boy, we are getting into the REALLY controversial stuff. So, tell me your thoughts on him. Here is his account:

I learned a long time ago simply to take his opinions on anything with a grain of salt once I saw his "Top 10 Hottest Animated Women" video where he says that Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi is his favourite show simply because he found the protagonists attractive.

well, he IS playing a character after all. Besides, he has plenty of other reasons he likes that show.

Aye...I've heard nothing but bad things about this guy.

Yeah, I know right?

I saw a "Top 10 Underrated Cartoons" video he did where I felt that he did all right defending most of his opinions on shows that he felt needed more love. But all his cred went out the window when he used the #1 slot to suck up to Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi for the umpteenth time.

Does he still rant on the same points ad nauseam, and say for the 50 millionth time that he doesn't like Adventure Time because of the What Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made on Drugs? factor?

He actually likes Adventure Time and Regular Show now. Shocking, I know. He also made a sequel to that countdown... where he put Dan Vs. as no. 1. Well, at LEAST Dan Vs.' thread has only 172 posts as of this post compared to Fi M's colassal 393, 527 posts.

Well, I see that there is a lot of negativity here, come on people, I don't wanna see this thread to be locked!

I don't think Ben is as bad as he was before, I believe he's finally got out of his whole nostalgic blindness, and he has seem to improved on his videos.

I agree

So he just made a review on the 1st Family Guy Star Wars special. Brace yourself for fanboys...

Ben has made two new characters for his videos.

I think he only said Ben t Looney is a cartoon character as an excuse to say anything in his videos. The reason Doug Walker can say the Nostalgia Critic is a character is because the Nostalgia Critic IS NOT A TOON! That makes it more entertaining since you are not seeing a cartoon character screaming (as a still image), you are seeing a human screaming. It makes it more realistic and less annoying.

And he seriously turned HIS REAL LIFE SELF INTO A CHARACTER. Turning your Youtube persona into a character may be dumb, but making YOU into a character is plain lazy! You just took a photo of you, put it in Windows Movie Maker, and used your normal voice for it!

And the thing I don't like about his videos the most his the humor. Or should I say, Nostalgia Critic, Rebel Taxi and Pieguyrulz quotes changed a little and passed off as original! Seriously, try and make your own style of humor!

And remember when I mentioned how he said he turned his Youtube persona into a character? Well, Ben T. Looney is a TERRIBLE CHARACTER! Here are his personality traits: Stupid, Sexist, Screams alot, and others I won't mention. Remember these are Ben T. looney's character traits, not Ben Tannehills.

Hope this thread is still alive.

Facepalm. Just...... facepalm. -_-

Not sure who that's directed at...

WRONG THREAD

I targeted it at Big Red Troper.

I do not see what was wrong with my post. I was just making criticism towards Benthelooney. I am pretty sure I made good points.

I thought I-Block was facepalming at Benthelooney, in agreement with Big Red Troper.

You lost all of your credibility when you said that Ben T. Looney was just an excuse to say anything that he wanted. Word of God said that Ben T. Looney was there since the beginning. He just didn't say that he was a character at that time because he thought it was obvious that it was a character. You Tube people thought otherwise.

Also, turning his real life self into a character? That just reeks of stupidity.

Well the fact that he was not using a script until now made it less obvious of Benthelooney being a character.

And P.S., I can not tell if you are agreeing with me or just commenting about Ben making himself into a character.

I do not hate his channel, I just think it can use improvement. Everything needs improvement.

I wasn't really agreeing with you.

PS: What are your favorite Benthelooney videos?

I like the " Mistakes Never Happen" video and the "Craig Mc Cracken Facts video". Those videos were pure randomness, like what I think all his videos should be.

I like those videos too!

Also, I'm not sure if he will follow the direction you want him to go to. His Looney T. Ben videos are also random. It just has a structured story going on in each video. His Family Guy Star Wars specials reviews also have some randomness in them as well. Ben also likes random humor as well, so maybe he can go into the direction you want him to go to. :/

I was only saying that since Ben T. looney is a cartoon, which could allow cartoonish humor.

My LEAST favorite videos are the Neb videos. Neb is not that funny by himself. And he seems to be turning into a 5 year old. I thought he was supposed to be an angry hater, not a whiny 5 year old!
