I like Eli but…
(this is typed on mobile. sorry if it looks weird!)
Him consistently being casted with Angela cannot make me form an actual opinion on him. Unlike Emily, Guchi, and Courtney T. Who’ve all showed their potential comedy to the channels and to other cast members in varying ways.
I like his humor, it definitely vibes with me. He’s funny, he’s quick witted, and can be on the nose with his jokes. Although, I want to see his humor be explored more with other cast members.
It doesn’t actually help me associate him as the one of the new cast members when all I could is see him as Angela’s friend. And this is no hate to Angela at all! I just want to see his humor and dynamics with other people.
He does bounce off well with Angela, but it feels too safe sometimes because of their already established friendship. Like him and Chanse should be in more videos, maybe him and the other newer members. He seems on the calmer side of loud humor, he could bounce off with Emily too if that’s possible.
This might not be the case for long, once the new friends get confirmed as cast. It’s just not the strongest first impression for me when it came to him in his first batch of videos.
All in all, he’s great. I really enjoy him, along with the others.
(and if this sounds parasocial, i’m sorry if it did! not my intention!)
