Ya, I've noticed him, good quality stuff but sometimes I can't be bothered to read subs and he comes across as a wee bit haughty for some strange reason.

can't stand:
tavarish, tj hunt, ed bolian, hoovie, matt maran, shmee, seen through glass, dragtimes, nick murray, straight pipes, raiti's rides, autotrader, new topgear, officially gassed, finding nick, freshkiicks. faves: smoking tire, topher / tedward / autotopNL, any of the british guys (steve sutcliffe, dan prosser, henry catchpole, chris harris). doug is tolerable, i usually skip to the drive to see how the cars road manners are during a normal legal speed drive.

I watch Joe for the amusement factor. He uses cliches more than the average YouTuber (though they all abuse them). Joe describes ventilated disc brakes as "fully ventilated" (apparently as opposed to the elusive "partially ventilated" variety) and other such absurdities. His "ON THROTTLE!" screams as he beats the living dogsh1t out of a brand new car on city streets is cringeworthy yet comedic.

Here's another good one nobody has mentioned yet - Vehicular DIY. The dude is really great. Walks through repairs, mods, maintenance, etc. using timelapse on the boring stuff, narrates really well, great production values, etc. Give him a shot..

Throttle house reminds me of the original Top Gear.
Straight Pipes gives every day usability things you should know. Like the Box Test! Savage Geese is straight up technical knowledge and makes you appreciate the engineering that goes into these things |

raiti is similar to matt maran... they just giggle or go nuts anytime they step on the throttle. so fake. "SmOke eM iF yOu GoT EM"
i have a problem when reviewers just smile the whole time, get fake excited doing a pull, and don't call a car trash out of fear of the automaker not giving them more cars to review. chris harris wrote a famous article about this where is called out ferrari on their antics (ie sending a team of mechanics and multiple cars to a review setup for different tests because technically, you could order the car in different variations for different tasks) --> https://jalopnik.com/how-ferrari-spins-5760248 this is whats great about british journalism for the most part and the old BBC topgear... they didn't have to air commercials or worry about pissing off a manufacturer. they got their money from the tv licensing fee the people paid.

The most annoying for me are:
Doug Demuro Supercar Blondie Shmee Tavarish (was ok when he first stated out but now thinks of himself as a big shot celeb) Hoovies (Again was fine in the beginning but just boring and repetitive) Ed Bolian Cartrek on tavarish's chanel Ratarossa Ones I love: M539 Legit Street Cars Goonzquad Nekkid watchmaker and other watch maker channels Number 27 DK engineering TV

Thanks for the M539 recommendation.
Rich Rebuilds used to be pretty good but now he is just annoying. Vtuned had some great episodes rebuilding that McLaren but lately been kind of boring. Goonsquad always solid content. |

For me Shmeeeeeeee is intolerable, he just grates on me. In a close second and I don't think anyone has mentioned his channel but Archie Hamilton. I cannot for the life of me get what the point is, it's far from car lovers content or is it just me.
Clueless about the products, always plugging undisclosed sponsors and the same old content (new car, wrap it, big wheels keep sayings it's a game changer over and over and over and.....) SavageGeese and Throttle House are some of the best IMO

He seems like a nice enough guy and has access to some "mega" vehicles, but you are right he just repeats the same content...buy car, slap new wheels on it, lower it, wrap it, body kit, sell it.

After seeing several times The Topher on Youtube driving a M4 G82 with a manual transmission and the guys from Throttle House with their comparison between the 2008 M3 E90 and the 2021 M3 G80 I really started thinking about ordering one of the last BMW with an inline-six and a manual transmission. My wife mentioned during the video from Topher that she likes the engine sound, so I took this as an approval and went straight to my BMW dealer.

Throttle House for me is painful for me to watch. The intros are bad, silly b-movie productions that I don't find funny or entertaining. Thomas is ok but James' "dunce" style of humor is what ruins it for me and makes me feel dumber for having watched him speak. I much prefer Straight Pipes for generic car tests, Yuri and Jakub to me are far more likeable and don't make the videos unnecessarily silly.

I find Demuro annoying with his enunciation.
Gotta say I was shocked by his car knowledge when I watched him on the smoking tire podcast with Matt. It was very entertaining and much more enjoyable to listen to him in a normal conversation tone. |

Doug is a car guy through and through. I believe one of his first jobs was working at Porsche headquarters and he's worked his entire career in the car industry with Jalopnik, Autotrader, etc. He wasn't some rich kid that decided he was going to kill time by doing youtube car videos. Whether you like him or not he's far more legit than most youtube car people.

B/c the general public has gotten too dumb, has zero attention span and will watch/buy anything. People still think Trump won the election. Enough said.
