Literally every time one of Lindsey Ellis' videos gets posted I think "Thank Christ she dropped that Nostalgia chick skit shit. This is some good stuff I would have in no way have seen if I had had to wade through all that bullshit."
And I think the Nostalgia Critic can be OK...except for those fucking skits which are just the worst.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

I could see owning something like that if you were just going to keep it in the cellar to subsist off of vermin
A friend of mine owns a dog that's similar in size to a Chihuahua, but it's a breed called the Prague Ratter, because they were literally bred to hunt rats.
I assume any breed of tiny lunatic berzerk turd dogs were at one point bred to annihilate rodents en masse because Jesus Christ why else would you make something like that

I'm pretty sure they originally got Chihuahuas by getting a Corgi wet after midnight.

I never watched a single one of his videos because his branding is "The Angry Videogame Nerd"
Yeah you're good.
The sad thing is the dude is pretty alright when he drops the bit, but that's rather rare.
"pretty alright if they would just drop the bit" is pretty much the defining factor of the video essay. Like, that Framing Megan Fox video above is fantastic and really interesting so I clicked through to the rest of her videos and there's so much of the smug, cliched "ugh this is so bad" *drinks wine*" stuff that getting to her genuinely insightful points is much harder than it should be. You're really interesting! Stop doing bits!
I appreciate it's just Not For Me though, I'm sure her audience love that. It's the same reason I had to stop watching Folding Ideas, and why I think Kermode is at his worst when he's doing what he's most famous for.
in fairness she drops that gimmick after like... three videos
I think the last time she did it was maybe her video about Schumacher's Phantom of the Opera, which was over a year ago (and still really good)
Hahaha, that's exactly the video that random youtube playlisting got me to. I guess I need to give her newer stuff a chance.
It turns out that I really need to see that movie.
And that also Jim is hilarious. Which I already knew, but with a bigger group he usually tends to drift into the background more. Nice to have him mostly lead the discussion via his enthusiasm.

It's also worth noting that later in the video it becomes clearer that the booze schtick is more meant as a self-burn, as she is also shown eating funyuns and chugging jim beam while proclaiming how she's the one person talented and professional enough to tackle the task of deconstructing Phantom of the Opera

in the battletech fiction mechs are actuated by electrically stimulated artificial muscle fiber bundles actually
"myomer" that was the name they gave it

Yeah but in the real world you need materials and actuators strong enough to move something that heavy without being too large and heavy themselves to be practical. This is getting us closer to semi-realistic artificial limbs, not giant mecha.

??? he was making a video game tech tree joke, not saying you could actually build giant robots out of this in its current form

You approach the joke from Battletech, I approach the joke from what we can do with it in the real world. Two people looking at the same joke from different viewpoints and tying it to different things.

He's a cool dog though.
No no, water only make more corgos.
You gotta feed them after midnight to turn them into chihuahuas.

The Conclusion of the Australia series. STEAK!
that is some cool tech, I wonder what the weight-to-lift-capacity ratio of biological muscle tissue is?

They also seem to get a kick out of provoking speculation regarding their substance abuse problems and/or imminent diabetic comas
So, this is the tech that eventually leads to battlemechs, right?
Just want to make sure we're working on the right tech tree here.

We don't know anything about their lives, just what they present via their videos. Which includes things like these:
Nah, this goes to cybernetic limbs. Battlemechs branch off the Hyperstrong Actuators technology.
