That's excellent. And so true.

[Ocsimano18]

His “Weather Report” satire was top notch. This one feels a bit sweaty.

[MementoMori_6030]

Actually, that's one of the mere handful of WoWs related YT channels in my subscription list.

"Chopstick ships"?! OMG. Could that guy be more racist?

[Wulf_Ace]

didnt find anything funny, jokes are too simple,racist,bad words which dont implement good on the jokes,putting dashas body "parts" in main picture is really not classy, she doesnt deserve that kind of treatment. I might be wrong but she is just hosstes, she doesnt make the game.

 

Dont get me wrong whole video is a joke, but his jokes could be more funny,smart and to some point, not like a 7 year old made them...

still, it has more effort put in than all wargambling during the last few years ...

Rather childish behaviour, considering he's a former employee too and had no qualms with lying to our faces back then with the rest of them.

so does the current staff ...

It was a bit on edge with the Asian jokes, which was probably more to keep in the same style with the rest of the vid. The part with Dasha was ok. I mean, not as if she wasn't there to look pretty and atractive for what I think I mostly a male community.

 

I am for equal opportunities and treat everyone the same, but as said, Dasha is no dev or something and they got a whole company to do introductory videos to mechanics and patches. So what is Dasha's plus point? Indeed. 

 

And for the rest he said what everyone else was thinking. I myself am looking forward to his Super CV patch intro.

Humour comes in all shapes and sizes. doesn't it? One persons racism is another persons comedy, and vice versa. Heaven help us a 100 years from now if the woke, virtue signalling minority and cancel culture brigade win, no-one will be allowed to say anything, let alone breathe without hurting someones fragile feelings. That said, it should all be in context and there are a few highly questionable references in this vid. I can't help but wonder if a vid like this was inspired by a loathing for WG rather than by honest objectivity?

@iEarlGrey is a has-been, a film of the week. Why is he is still talking or why are we still listening??

[Mad_Dog_Dante]

The jokes are juvenile and cringeworthy. Also no shadenfreude for me: Seeing this game ruined by it's own developer is actually pretty sad to witness.

Current staff didnt troll the community by showing how easy was PR Dockyard with buying stages.

Kinda fits with how the game feels for the last year or so ...

 

I mean the jokes were simplistic and rather rude, but it matches the reality of the gameplay to a degree.

[Yedwy]

Cheap attempt at humor even if some points are valid...

[Miragetank90]

I think critiquing a dev is good. I enjoy satire.

 

As for this though, that's a big yikes from me.

Best WoW video I seen in years! 

[Procrastes]

A mouthful of racist jokes with a light sprinkling of sexism added for extra flavour. The word "undignified" springs to mind. If Wargaming would by any chance seek to discredit iEarlGrey, then they can relax and lean back, since he's doing that job for them.

 

Satire can be a good weapon, but it is a double-edged sword. Swing it about too wildly and you're liable to cut yourself.

[RuruushuVuiBuritania]

Sad but not surprising to see how many people find this horrid drivel hilarious or are actually interested in what a proven liar and sensationalist has to say. But anything to stick it to WG, breaking the company down one stone at a time, right?

[fumtu]

Couple of funny moments but generally a garbage.

[SodaBubbles]

I agree with the criticism that his Asian-related comments suck, but I thought his commentary on Dasha was satirizing WG's use of her. Did I misread that?
