I don't know if "lolcow" is the right title for this guy, but he's one of many "people of interest" that I've followed off and on for a while and I figure some of you might enjoy his content too. I first came across this person a couple years ago in the robot combat sections of Reddit. Every time a new episode of something aired he'd post a "review" of it and it would be downvoted into oblivion without fail. I dug deeper...
Patrick Rowberry, 2015
Under the name "scorpion1m" Rowberry has submitted a ton of things to various places on Reddit (including a vanity one that nobody reads). For now I'm just going to highlight things from communities pertaining to the sport of robot combat. This is mostly because he seems to be totally ignored in the MLP communities that he also posts content to. I don't know if he's been shadowbanned or what, but honestly I'm impressed that even the brony fandom seems to completely disengage. The only attention he gets is in robotics communities where he seems to be something of a cross between a pet and a nuisance.
Above is a comment chain from a recent Reddit submission. The video in question? "pat reviews: robot wars s9 ep1". That horrifying clay abomination? That's his OC. One of them, at least. Pat's videos are uploaded mere minutes after new episodes of TV shows air, before there's even a digital version to glean screenshots from. Because of this, his videos are full of pictures unrelated to what he's talking about.
His content is so universally disliked that other users openly bash him in the comments and he's completely oblivious to it. In this example, he claims that he rushed a video out the door because of "haters and death threats", an excuse nobody buys. It's a strange mix of funny and sad that on his own submissions Pat's comments are rated so poorly that they are automatically minimized by Reddit.
Some other choice selections of his reception by the robot combat community:
I went with the Robot Wars content as a lead-in because it's really the only stuff Pat's made that has received any feedbac. Honestly he's got tons more brony crap posted to his YouTube channel but in some weird way I feel like the wider :autism: of the brony fandom just drowns out Pat's work. Here he is trying to start a MLP x Robot Wars crossover RP. Literally nothing, not even a downvote because it's still at 1 point.
In this regard we're among the first people to probably even see this stuff.
Try and tell me the video above isn't some kind of incredible outsider art. Go on, I'm waiting. This is a video about how "fillies" are made and it involves a giant boner made out of Knex and Playdoh, ponies wrapped in toilet tissue so they look like jizz rags, and terrible stopmotion. Spike even shows up for some reason, fully aroused. All the props are made from toilet tissue except for the giant Knex dick. This video is fucking insane.
I've seen a lot of bad videos on YouTube, but this has got to be the saddest unboxing video I've ever seen. Like, I'm not even saying that to be mean. This video is genuinely depressing. This is a grown man doing a one-handed unboxing video of something called "MLP Box" (which is $10/mo PLUS shipping) that includes a children's cup, temporary tattoos, one of those rubber bracelets, and a keychain. That's it.
Also, his thumbnail is split and hanging off and I can't look at it without my fucking skin crawling.
His channel is full of all sorts of off the wall shit, most of which I'm linking to below so I don't make an OP that's five pages long.

Some other choice selections of his reception by the robot combat community:
- "Is this video just 10 minutes of lopsided Lego and Knex?"
- "I've got to a point where I can't even be bothered to downvote them."
- "Is this the power of autism?"
- Patrick posts a racist joke, the Robot Wars community doesn't laugh.
- "Your vapid musings are not worth my time or consideration."
- Less than a year ago people tried to be supportive.

Everything Else
His channel is full of all sorts of off the wall shit, most of which I'm linking to below so I don't make an OP that's five pages long.
- A "My Little Improv" "skit" where Pat "does" an "I've fallen and I can't get up" "gag".
- He actually gets something of value in the MLP Box and it's the worst thing ever.
- Another My Little Improv skit that shows off his Robot Wars bedsheets? They make those?
- I have no idea what this "audition" is but it's priceless.
- This is basically a silent video and it's a found footage nightmare.
- MLP / Robot Wars crossover video with "whisper yelling" voiceover.
- He LITERALLY doesn't understand why people draw diaper art.
- "The 12 Days of BattleBots" Christmas song. I can't make it through this one.
- BUM REVIEWS! Mark off the TGWTG space on your bingo cards!
- A Minesweeper "permerdeath" let's play!
