Are there any LPers who *make fun* of horror games?

A thing that broke me recently:

I was playing this game called Never Again, which I got because it was steeply discounted. I played for about an hour then got stuck and watched other people's Lets Plays.

Here's the thing. Midway thru, there's a monster I call "the rubber chicken witch" who when I saw her, I broke down laughing at how stupid she looked.

Every Lets Play I saw was treating this same monster as if she was the scariest shit ever. I couldn't tell if they were hamming it up or if they were all just pussies.

I've said in the past that I miss Retsupurae, and one reason is because they would've made fun of this shit. Hell I could imagine them using the "rubber chicken witch" line themselves if they had played this garbage.

Basically, I'm wondering if there's any LPers who are more jokey and not scared of the horror games. I know that some like Markiplier (who I do genuinely like) CAN be humorous, especially if the game annoys them, but I'm looking for someone for whom "I laugh at the scary game" is their main shtick.

Do you know anyone like that?

Thanks in advance.

Only person off the top of my head that could apply to this is this fella I came across recently named Randumb

He does teardown videos of some bad horror Doom WADs, although that doesn't seem the be the main focus of his content from a cursory glance. Just anything doom related from what I can see.

The Retsupurae guys come to mind, they've done a bunch of cheesy horror games:

Ever since pewdiepie became the biggest YouTube's ever from screaming at horror games, there are many many imitators.

For every Markiplier, CoryxKenshin and Jacksepticeye there are like 10,000 other people who just imitate them and scream constantly. You can find them if you see who self-promotes their content in the comment sections of the most popular horror games on itch.io.

John Wolfe is the one I like and have watched a lot in the past years. He was HarshlyCritical but changed to his real name. I find him quite funny and he makes fun of horror games and how dumb they can be. There's a few tropes he calls out: 'Red means scary yah'll' and he doesn't pull punches on criticism of games.

Did you ever see this topic, by the way?

I think I saw that thread when you first posted it. We've got an active discussion of a lot of the old Retsupurae people in the Let's Players from Something Awful thread:


Slowbeef and Diabetus occasionally do streams together and Slowbeef has a playlist on his Youtube channel for their past streams:


At the moment it's probably the closest thing to old Retsupurae we're going to get. Hopefully they go back to actually making Retsupurae again in the near future.
 
There's a channel called Let's Game it Out where the guy breaks tycoon games, but before that it was a channel where he and his buddy played games together. Look through the backlog and there's a lot of indie horror games that they laugh at.

Speaking of Retsupurae, I have this weird sort of.... blessing?

Okay, so earlier I learned there was a remake of an obscure horror game called White Day: A Labyrinth Named School.

I go looking up reviews, and guess whose one of the first names that comes up?


Who of course, I know because of....

Seriously, it seems like half my time online, I'm experiencing a "degrees of separation" relating to either Spoony or Retsupurae, and thus reminding me of when the internet was at its best.

I know I'm late but I feel the need to comment, I don't know how anyone can find those kind of people funny or entertaining. They are the cancer of the internet and pander to the lowest common denominator.

I hope with AI there will soon be a way to put a little head in the corner of my computer screen that screams at whatever I'm looking at all the time.
