Quinton Reviews / Quinton Kyle Hoover / Q_Review / OttselSpy24 / OttselSpy25 - I KNOW WE HIT THE LIMIT FOR ME TO DO THEM, BUT THOSE THINGS TAKE TIME, NOW SHUT UP AND LET ME TALK ABOUT GARFIELD AND MCDONALDS, WHILE MOCKING OTHER YOUTUBERS!!

[Woke Blue Muttlema]

Something that I find weird about Quinton's relevance (if you can call it that) in hindsight is how he, at one point, got a lot of multiple big Youtubers to cameo in his weird Vidcon video and made it into a pity party that he's the protagonist of.
I wonder if that played a role in others distancing themselves from the idea of working with him again.

Iirc Quinton said he had to ask for all the favors he was owed to inflate the YouTuber count and he still barely managed to get 125k views in a video with ScottTheWoz.

But in what comes to people avoiding/not including him it probably is all the stuff that he has done combined.
Social climber, antagonizes every community he exits, video essayist tryhard that became popular out of 24 hours worth of Nick recaps, owner of a parasocial Discord server, and the new MovieBob. My proposal for the new thread subtitle btw.

In one post I compared him to PhilosophyTube, who funny enough also seems to exist outside of the leftie ecosystem despite being dependent on it.

I like all your analysis on Qimbo but I have to say that I think we are all approaching this from the wrong angle. If you really stop to think about it Q got a very literal monkey paw wish in which he jumped from dead channel to millions of views with the caveat of having to make them increasingly longer, leaving all his passion projects in stand-by and being bullied by his fanbase into making a very specific kind of content image he dreads he isn’t going to overcome. All the money he earns he uses to buy toys. He still is an outsider to the ‘long video making community’. He is still fucking fat and has wasted 2 years of his life in this.

Poor Qimbo is the saddest YouTube success case I have ever seen. I remember how back in 2018 he was getting invited to shit left and right and nowadays it seems he exists in his own island. Is weird how he seems like more of a nobody than he used to.

I was an unironic Quinton stan in like the post-Leafy vid pre-Last Jedi vid days (and not even because I didnt like Last Jedi, I just thought his arguments seemed whiny) because he didnt try to be something he wasnt. he was a wacky internet reviewer with occasional video essays with some decent insight. he reviewed scary godmother, fairly odd christmas, doctor who and manos because he enjoyed those things or had nostalgia for them but now he thinks of himself as more important than he is and reviews stuff he has no nostalgia for

Probably, consistent is not a word I would use to describe Q.

The longman comes for us all one day

So, do you guys, gals and non-binary kiwis remember that April Fool's video Q planned a year in advance? Remember when we all said Q's dad was overall a better presenter than him and we hoped he took over the channel? WE GOT MONKEY PAW'D MOTHERFUCKERS!

I was going to to try and give a summary but I still haven't really checked the streams he did last week.

Far be it from me to tell quinton what to do but doesn't posting actual footage from you April Fools video ruin the fun of April fools? Shouldnt he keep a secret and just stealth release it just to throw everyone off because that is usually the joke? At this point it just feels like he just got his dad to do a very long video. It honestly would make for a better fathers day video.

Also the Waltons seems really irrelevant, I know thats part of the "joke" but still. Like if I were in his position or his content manager, I would do something that's more in the public zeitgeist at the moment. Like for example, hype up a video essay about the Wensday show, upload a video that looks like he's talking about Wensday but then in the video its his dad talking about the Addams Family show from the 60s. The following april fools comes around, he could say "for reals this time I'm talking about wensday" then it's his dad talking about the cartoon from the 90s.

His dad talking about the Waltons just shows how much Quinton lacks creativity and a sense of humor. I see his yes men on discord hyping up the idea saying that people are going to love the joke and eat it all up. Hippie will probably tell his family about it over dinner and then get frustrated they don't get the joke. I'm looking forward to the potential salt

I just find it more confusing as to why he’s still doing reviews surrounding the iCarly universe. His father in those videos mentioned seem far more interesting that dealing with decades old Nickelodeon shows that no one under the age of 17 cares for.

Possibly because the research is easier to do when you already have resources from previous projects? I'm sure he can utilize the same wikis and whatever else from ICarly to help him with researching others from the same production houses/cast/merchandisers. Could also just be his own personal nostalgia, or enjoyment, but that of course is debatable.

Well does he at least talk about all the stuff that happened to the actors in those live action Nick shows? I know Jeanette McCurdy is supposedly having a book in the works talking about all the fucked up stuff that went on. Why doesn't he discuss any of that?

Because he lacks human empathy. These characters that pause mid-sentence for canned laughter are more real to him than the child actors who were traumatized making these shows he's autistic for.

I’ll have to play devil’s advocate here, may Allah forgive me.

Quinton’s plan has always been to talk about the abuse aspect of these shows and as such he has a video exclusively on that planned once he finally finishes Sam & Cat. He also told his audience to check I’m Glad My Mom Died.
So, is not that he lacks empathy. Is that he is ridiculously inept at showing said empathy.

Quinton meant to release his Sam & Cat recap before IGMMD dropped and his plan (no joke) was that he was going to request his fans to preorder it in-masse just so Jeannette McCurdy would be surprised by the massive support attached to his videos. When he failed to meet that deadline, he had to be convinced by his Discord support group that IGMMD was fresh enough in people’s minds to aid in the virality of his video. He then had the gall to name it “The Scandal of Sam & Cat” without a single mention of said book beyond “buy it”, which rightfully earned him some negative attention. All of this you can find in this thread.

There’s also the fact he has recognized most of the actors attached to these shows not named Markie Reid are probably weirded out by his videos and personally offended by some of the jokes he makes. If you can give Q point is for self-awareness. He knows even Jim Davis probably hates his guts for his archival prowess.

Hell, just he trying to come to grips with a video about the personal horrors of these people is darkly funny. He discussed he wanted to name it “We Don’t Talk About Dan Schneider” as a nod to Big Joel but realized some might make the tasteless connection that it sounds like an Encanto song. He revealed all of this while also discussing he makes clickbaity titles in an anime convention. To his defence, he said he doesn’t plan on monetizing it but he probably will spam Patreon and YouTube sun requests in the video anyway.

TL; DR: Quinton isn’t a bad person. He just is bad at being a person.

Nah. He is bad at being a person AND he is a bad person. I don't give a fuck if he feels "bad" about all the shitty things he does or he somehow doesn't understand how what he does is shitty until after he does them, it hasn't stopped him from continuing to do shitty things and actions speak louder than words.

He isn't the biggest self-loathing narcissist out there, but he is definitely a self-loathing narcissist at the end of the day. He has stabbed every person he has worked with or tried to suck up to in the back for attention and his videos are monotonous overly long lazy piles of clickbait garbage made almost entirely so he can show the world how much he is a self loathing narcissist.

Quinton could have been both successful AND happy years ago without all the baggage and poor reputation he has accrued if he could have gotten over himself. He is too far down that rabbit hole though and there is very little chance of him ever climbing out.

Moar content and mercifully short at that.

 

[X-avier cuck]

I'll give to him, Q if nothing else has spread the idea of analyzing children's media from the late 90s to early 2000s from a left-leaning lens ( even if it was already a thing prior).

I saw somebody upload a like 4-Hour video essay about Wizards of Waverly Place, so there's that.

All that aside, I do appreciate when media can get unpacked and seen as being ahead of its time but none of that can really be said about the vast majority of these Nickelodeon shows or even their Disney Channel counterparts.

There's not a lot of thought that went into their creation and they were basically just insurance policies that were there to make money based on trends, so when you try to add sociopolitical commentary to them it ends up coming off as stuffy at best and pretentious at worst.

 

[Chilson]

That's why its perfect for Quinton. Not a lot of thought goes into his long, boring, meandering, tangent riddled and mostly wrong "analysis" of these shows.

 

[White-Kettle Shufflepunk]

Are we sure this genre of video isn't just a honeypot for a roving eugenics squad to mark out victims?

It's part of a larger trend with Youtube video essays currently that can basically be summed up as "You know that thing you watched growing up you have nostalgia for? Well let me tell you how great it definitely was and not all at all mediocre" while at the same time people look for meanings in things that don't exist because this is television meant for adolescents. Sure some shows may of had some deep commentary interwoven in the writing but that is the exception not the rule.

In fact for something specific to Quinton, I bet a show like iCarly has more instances of Dan Schneider's grossness displayed then any real intentional sociopolitical themes.

 

[White-Kettle Shufflepunk]

It's like Hesoid's Ages of Man for the internet. In the beginning, you had video essays about stuff that at least had some genuine cultural relevance. Now we have a generation that grew up on Nickolodean shitcoms, so that's all they can talk about. In five years when Quinton's dead of internet old age or trooned out, we'll have some poor bastard making week long videos about, I don't know, TikTok stars or something.

I think what's so infuriating is that there is a way that you could do this, but he and many others go for the low-hanging fruit where little to no thought went into whatever show they're covering.

Nickelodeon is older than every one of its contemporaries with a vast history, but he goes for mindless tween shows that are largely forgotten about outside of Zoomer memes.

Pop Arena is very much a lefty like Quinton, but at least gives a genuine reflection on Nickelodeon history without his bias is getting in the way too much

 

[Dirk Dinkum]

Almost a whole month after the fact (I know) but irl shit kept me from doing a play-by-play, not from archiving last month's streams in glorious potato quality. Despite being known for making long ass videos because algorithm, Quentin is unable to surpass normal streamer thresholds in terms of streaming time with the state of the art station composed of his gamer laptop and the chair in front of his fridge.
These two vids were two separate streams that happened back to back because Quentin not only looks like he is 40, he has the tech literacy of a 40 year old cat guy and had to stop the stream halfway.

Worry not kiwi netizen. I'll upload past streams I recapped to the thread once I can downsize them. But these ones I'll have to check properly later.

This is what frustrates me about Quinten; mediocre media is extremely fascinating in retrospect and he refuses to address it on those terms. It’s the same reason that ChrisChan fascinates me. There are these things created that are essentially only ever background noise in their time. Looking at them is very interesting to learn about how mass culture changes over time. It’s interesting explicitly because it wasn’t intended to stand out other than for a half hour on a weekday afternoon. Looking back on it can tell us something about what the dominant cultural forces at the time deemed to be normal. A standout show or movie or product wouldn’t tell us the same thing because it was created to stand out
