WebVideo God's Languorous Man
Hey, you just learned a new word there, didn't you? Trust me, it'll be your biggest takeaway ever associated with Rebel Taxi.
This won't be my longest review ever, as I aim to reflect the subject's work ethic and level of quality in my own. Anyways, Rebel Taxi is your average pop-culture oriented list creator, who (inconsistently) tries to copy the classic Toonami video jockey aesthetic... for want of any other distinctive characteristic, I guess. This would seem to mark it as a cut-and-dry case of So Okay, It's Average, right? File it and move on to the next one. Time's a-wasting.
Aside from shamelessly piggybacking onto ideas and subject matter covered by more creative and talented souls, the narrator (some sort of diseased anthropomorphic scrotum with a cap or something, I dunno) has the sort of lethargic vocal presence you'd expect from Constantinos Smith on horse tranquilizers ran at half speed underwater. Sure, there are—objectively speaking—jokes and witticisms of varying quality in the scripts, but they never make any sort of an effort in changing their drone-like cadence to accommodate said doomed attempts at humor. What's more, he's one of those guys... you know the kind: a "One-Take Ortolan", in the worst possible way. Concordantly, every five minutes or so there's a mispronounced word left in. And they're not exactly thesaurus-quality words, either.
For all the lack of passion or creativity that this poor excuse for a half-decent web "original" exudes, it wouldn't surprise me if the driver of this not-at-all-rebellious taxi were some highly advanced text-to-speech program (and the content itself being synthesized by some algorithm). At least it's close enough to human speech for that to be a technical achievement worthy of praise.
WebVideo Toonami, if were a review series and a bit funnier.
I love this show. The music kicks major ass and the drawing on Pan himself has gotten better. Every video has the sense of...I can't describe it but the videos are always great.
Rebel Taxi is an incredibly well done show and I wish nothing but the best to Pan-Pizza.
WebVideo A fantastic animation reviewer that is shockingly underappreciated
It's very hard to describe Panpizza Rebeltaxi. Is he an animation reviewer? A top 10 channel? An animation history channel? Edgy comedy? A game channel? How about all of the above. When Mr. Enter's too depressingly political (I kinda like his stuff too) Alpha Jays too nitpicky (same verse same as the first) and Phantom Striders not putting enough comedy Panpizza is here. You want cartoon reviews/top 10s/game reviews. You come here. Pros: His editing is fluid and stylish, the series' humor reminds me of all the raunchy 2000s comedys/Xplay which I loved watching as a kid, the host Panpizza is probably one of the funniest pre-Scott The Jon Tron/Caddicarus gaming personalities with a razor sharp wit and a desire for goth girls, he can talk about things like The Nutshack and Rapsittie Street kids and somehow give insight to find out something good came out of them, (for instance the Nutshacks art was based around vinyl figures created by Jesse Hernandez who was very passionate about vinyl figures as art before funko made it cool) he can shine a light on animation gems that almost no one knows about/remembers, his game reviews are fantastic and even surpass the cartoon videos he made in terms of quality Cons: The era of Powerpuff Girls reboot hate was very noticable when that show happened and poisoned every video it was mentioned in, at some point (he has since left that) he just seemed more depressed and it really affected the videos, the humor is indeed so edgy to the point if you are offended easily this will not be the best animation youtuber to watch (Phantom Strider is pretty clean in that regard), he will probably have a positive opinion on a cartoon you despise if this is a trigger RUN Overall Pan is an inspiration to why I love the medium of animation. I don't think I'd give half a shit about modern animation or the cult classics of the 2000s if it weren't for him and I wouldn't give any of it up. Most of the animation community is pretty good but there's only one Panpizza. 9/10
