5 Car YouTubers I Don't LIke
We all have our favorite car YouTubers, I’m not shy to admit it. Evan Shanks, David Patterson (thatdudeinblue) & Alejandro Salomon (Salomondrin) are mine for many different reasons. I won’t get to them now, but what I will get to, is the other end of the spectrum - it’s five car YouTubers/vloggers that really take the piss outta me.
There’s a reason why when it comes to car YouTubers/vloggers, those three are all I watch. Because to me, most car YouTubers/vloggers, they’re either really douchey or really boring. Or, at least that’s how I find most of them. As the great Theo Thomas (BlackPanthaa) once said, “you come for the content, but stay for the person.” That phrase stayed with me throughout my time watching/making YouTube videos. And, when it comes to these guys, the latter totally doesn’t apply. So, without further ado, here are my top 5 least favorite car YouTubers/Vloggers.
(WARNING: Prepare to be triggered if some of these are your favorites. Especially for #5 & #1.)
#5 - Adam LZ
I don’t know why, I just don’t know. Why people love this guy is so beyond me. I just think that his vlogs are so generic and dull - like something one of those basic bros would do. Granted, he’s not douchey, and I’m sure he might be a nice person once you get to meet him. But as a YouTuber, the only reason he’s stupid popular in my eyes is just because of the cars he’s involved with. I feel like people just come to him for the cars and not the person. And to me, that’s just not how it should be. I can’t relate to him as a person at all because I think he’s the same as pretty much any other basic JDM car bro out there, with all the drifting shenanigans. I can already feel the amount of triggered peeps in here sending me death threats, but still, could be worse.
#4 - Paul Wallace (SupercarsOfLondon)
Here’s what happens when you blend Shmee and one of those generic FIFA YouTubers. An overly obnoxious tool of whom I cringe at the sight of one of his videos being at nearly the top spot of any search results. I can’t stand him, I can’t stand his content, I can’t stand his titles, I can’t stand his fans, I can’t stand the fact that he’s famous for the same reason most supercar spotters (of which there are many that I despise) are famous, and so on. I know he’s friends with pretty much all of the main guys in this site, so probably writing this might get my account taken down. But hey, there’s always DRIVETRIBE.
#3 - Mo Vlogs
No need for words. Just watch his dang content, and tell me how in the hell did this spoiled toolbag ever got famous with his interchangeable & generic “vlogs.” Call me jealous, but just watch him (at least, the first two minutes, if you can hang with it.), and y’all will get it.
#2 - Tanner Fox
16 year-old spoiled tool who knows little to nothing about cars and makes videos with titles that are way more Clickbait-y than ProGamerJay or Morgz who drives an obnoxiously wrapped GT-R bought by mommy. Need I say more?
Honorable Mentions:
Before I unveil my #1 pick (I can already feel them triggered folks coming), here are some (dis)honorable mentions:
- Shmee150
- SeenThroughGlass
- Seb Delanney
- Vehicle Virgins
- Streetspeed717 (Don’t know why I used to like him, TBH.)
- Gaskings (By popular demand & I too really don’t like him.)
#1 - TJ Hunt (TRIGGER WARNING)
Why this person is famous and so loved is still beyond me. I legit cannot stand him. Typical JDM douche bro right there who’s all about the ego and trying desperately hard to stay relevant. So he got himself a fake Rocket Bunny kit for his BRZ (or in his terms, Miley), and other acts in between. I am so glad that there are people within the car world that are starting to call him out on it, and I think there should be more. Because for someone as big as this toolbag, he should know better. His vlogs are every bit as lame as those by guys like Roman Atwood, I can’t stand him as a person, he’s desperate for attention and pretty much most of his fans are total AIDS. People like to put him in a pedestal and look up to him like he’s some sort of holy figure whilst overlooking his flaws. Like I said, I don’t get why he’s so loved at all. I tried liking him, but I just can’t and I won’t try anymore. To me, he is the epitome of every stereotype JDM douche bro you see at car meets. Matter of fact, scratch that, I think he’s the Roman Atwood/FouseyTube of car YouTubers/Vloggers, really. Attention-seeking toolbag who’s famous for little to no reason at all, that’s why he’s #1 right here. Bring on the hate comments, fellas.
And, that’s about it for my list right there. Feel free to voice your displeasures down below. Death threats are definitely welcome. But I wonder if there’s anyone who agrees with me on this. I can’t be the only one, that’s for dang sure, right? Sometimes, some things just need to be said because most just can’t voice their thoughts and feelings since they’re afraid of getting attacked by fanboys and such. Okay, rant over.
P.S. I do welcome civil discussions as to why I may be wrong about these people. Feel free to do that, too.
Comments
I cant stand that bushy eye browed tw*t either. I cannot express how bad his content is. Plus his comments are full of 12 year olds arguing bout how gtr’s are the best.
Thank goodness.
Just to point something out Dan, Tanner wasn’t driving the S14 when it crashed. I believed it was a friend’s car and said friend crashed it while Tanner was in the car.
Oh, shoot, sorry about that. Imma change that real quick rn.
You obviously are unable to understand emotion, TJ hunt is one of the most humble and down to earth guys on YouTube, watching a few videos of a young lad with some nice cars and making the assumption that he’s egotistical is beyond me. Watch his videos for a while and then you will understand his personality
Maybe I need to meet him in person, I guess, and yes, I was a subscriber before, but his recent videos just aren’t doing it for me at all. I personally don’t find him relatable, not one bit. But that’s just me. I knew that there would be people saying such things, so I’m not surprised.
Tj hunt isn’t that bad. I don’t care much for his content, but I certainly would not go as far as to call him an attention seeking douchebag.
I just find his use of clickbait-y titles & thumbnails and the fact that he went out and bought a fake Rocket Bunny kit for his BRZ instead of actually saving up for one totally scummy, and I’m just not a fan of his personality at all.
While Vehicle Virgins does have it’s moments, for the most part they are a bit overrated.
Used to watch StreetSpeed, now I watch his friend GuitarmagedeanZL1. Seems as if StreetSpeed modifies his cars for views and he has more money than modifying knowledge. Guitarmagedean I like better.
No doubt about it. I think Parker just sounds like a whiny 12 year-old. And yeah, GuitarmageddonZL1 seems like a really cool person. Probably the reason why I’m not subscribed is that his ZL1’s an auto haha
I live in the U.K. So unfortunately not. So I guess he could be fake in real life, but I massively doubt it. He has an unreal amount of support at car meets ext. if he was fake I doubt anyone would give him the time of day at the many meets he attends
That’s the point, don’t ever pass judgment on someone until you’ve met them in real life. When I met David (thatdudeinblue, as you can probably tell from my profile pic), I didn’t really come in with a lot of expectations, but he’s one of the many reasons why I actually started doing YouTube again, and trust me, he’s every bit as nice and genuine as he his in his videos. I can totally confirm that now. I haven’t met Alejandro (Salomondrin) or Evan yet, but judging from their vids, they seem really genuine. Plus, I really enjoy their stuff.
I’m the least likely person to get wrapped up with youtubers but TJ, salomondrin ext. really do strike a chord with me
I freakin’ love Alejandro. He’s awesome.
Yeah, but remember opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one. You may think TJ is fake ext. and will be in real life, but is he? It’s all subjective, what you find compelling, I may not ?
Maybe, but until then…
Ive met him IRL and doesnt seem fake. Seems like he genuinely loves making videos about what hes doing.
Totally agree
<3333
Shmee150 aint so bad
That’s why he’s in ‘Honorable Mentions’.
