I rewatched all the way up through season 5 and here are my random thoughts
It’s a time capsule of the early days of YouTube: ignoring how weird it is to see everyone be young, you can see the enthusiasm everyone seems to have with the idea that they can make videos about what they’re passionate about and how a lot of them seemed to do it for the love of the game.
The road trip episodes were the best: Honestly any episode where they hit the road are pretty great. From their first trip to Maggest to what happens in Memphis it felt like the shenanigans that always happened when you went on a road trip with your buds.
Melvor stepping out from behind the camera was one of the best things they did: Since Billy and Jay and Dodongo were all such out their individuals, Melvor was the perfect person to be a foil to their personalities.
The show really starts to hit its stride end of Season 2: Season 1 and most of Season 2 are entertaining but the Vegas trip in Season 2 is where I think they found their footing to make the show what it was.
Season 5 is probably the best: So many great moments from the Memphis trip, to the beer for a PSX guy, Chris getting the Sega CD and scaring Eric in the basement. Lots of great stuff happened in this season.
