I hate this guy for the sole fact that whenever Cleveland is brought up anywhere on the internet (especially reddit), people have to post the "fun times in Cleveland again" video. Sure his videos are funny to us (the first time we watch them), but they further Cleveland sterotypes and give the rest of America an excuse to shit on us.
It's kinda like Chappelle (NOT THE SAME LEVEL COMEDIAN NOT WHAT I AM SAYING HEAR ME OUT). Chappelle left his show because he realized that some people were laughing for the wrong reason. Instead of laughing about the stereotype, they laughed in a way that reinforced it. I love the Cleveland tourism videos, but I'm bothered when people post it when they aren't from here because they don't actually get it. It's "funny cause it's true" but it isn't meant to trash Cleveland as much as recognize and laugh at our shortcomings. Our city isn't half bad, fuck the haters. The point is we have a sense of humor about it and fuck you if you want to talk shit out of ignorance.
