My First youtube video

[CBlake]

PD's right. You, as in your YouTube character, need to remain the butt of your own joke. Milking the awkward moments is where it counts, so it's a matter of delivery.

For example, think of yourself as trolling. You know that you're in on the joke, but making that known is beside the point. The point is to convince others that you don't know--or at the very least, they should wonder: 'don't know if trolling or just stupid.' Inserting some other character or scene--as PD mentions--allows the audience to tune into that desired moment for them to laugh. They connect with that, but your YT character must dissociate itself with that role; otherwise, the joke isn't as good.

Some people don't like doing this because they dislike it when others perceive them in some unfavorable manner. "Gee, that guy really is an douche." If you can't Deal with it.jpg, then good luck with that. If you want to make a funnier YT video, then incorporate PD's advice.

You guys realize that was 10 seconds of a 3 minute video right? I get what you are both saying but that part is so insignificant and has nothing to do with the actual video, I was honestly looking for critique on other things

Now you've gone from being defensive to making irrelevant excuses. Perhaps you're getting it?

No, I'm going more in the direction of "just drop it.. I get what you are saying and it has been noted, however as far as that part is concerned we are not on the same page"

Good luck with that.

griffin, they are offering you positive criticism, you should gladly take it.

so difficult to get that in life, normally when you are looking for criticism you get it in a mean form, have to have to balls to separate the valuable criticism from the unnecessary mean part.

are you bothered by the fact that someone saw a weak point in your vid? or because you liked that part too much? or because you are too lazy to edit that part out? these are valuable questions you should ask yourself, but the fact that i have to mention them and that i might be terribly wrong will make me look awfully conceited and you will dislike me for it. i don't care tho, i hate basketball

No I am not even upset in the slightest, I guess that Can't be conveyed through writing though. I realize what they are both saying however this does not mean I have to think it is the way to do it.
