Edited by Cole Sheerin / @colesheerin9949 Follow my live streams: / quintonreviews Quinton goes into ten video ideas he once considered, and why they fell through.
There IS a Quinton Reviews Fallen Titans. Arguably, it's the cornerstone of the QR "lore" if you want to know about his dad, his first years and what made him start doing videos.
Well, now it's not going to be. He's going to be so mad someone guessed it, that he's gonna spend the next five years trying to come up with a better idea.
even just a video talking about the batshit weirdness of the franchise would be great. It's so bizarre and there was a like half soft reboot that nobody saw and Machete is canon and it links to some Tarantino movies
i’m less than a minute into this video and i can’t stop staring at the jimmy neutron figure crucified on the wall. what happened there? what sins have his fellow nicktoon figures committed that he needed to sacrifice himself to pardon them?
i always interpreted the thesis of fallen titans as being more so a focus on internet history and culture than the specific sensationalism you may have started it with in mind
I'm glad that was the case! I personally was glad to see that they did well in views, but I felt an aversion to watching them because of the titles. I think I came across those videos at a point where I was really trying to move away from watching things that made me angry - It got bad for a bit. Definitely not the kind of thing I wanted in my life.
@@Guruc13 that's so true. i feel like there's a future for the spiritual successor in the analysis of internet history on quintons channel without the fallen titans label.
@@Guruc13looking at it from a current day perspective, I would interpret the title the same way. It sounds like a Sunnyv2 video series and his videos are complete rage bait
I think that this is in part because Quinton consciously shifted the focus in that direction more and more over time, gradually dissecting the assumed conceit, but also because I suspect that on some level he was always more interested than the historical aspect than the sensationalism despite wanting to bridge that gap, as indicated by how he talks about the genesis of the series and where his heart was as a creator from the beginning.
Hearing that Finding Garfield Lost Media was during what you consider the dark ages of your channel has got me stunned. I’m glad you are finding more success, but that project is what brought me here and saw you were doing something special.
... I need that Spy Kids War Crime video. It always so sad to hear Quinton talk about ideas he thinks are dumb when they're usually genuinely interesting and I would love to see but he thinks they'd suck.
you did not fall out of love with the clippy idea, you were smiling so hard throughout describing it! if i could go back in time and revive one of these concepts it would definitely be clippy
I am begging for an entire second channel video about the Hot Daga. I don't need a whole main channel video about Buzzfeed Unsolved, but I am so, SO desperate to hear about your theories on what the conclusion of the Hot Daga would be like.
Honestly I'm just anticipating a Doctor Who video, in whatever form that may be. I've been doing a revisit of the modern series with my partner and seeing you tweet about the show has made me invested in what direction you could take a video of it in.
Not gonna lie, part of me was expecting it to he canceled because of Gilbert Gottfrieds death (he was the official voice of clippy) and the murder subplot would have been in way too poor taste.
27:14 It's a hilarious and interesting idea for a video, but the big problem for me is that you literally made this exact premise for the iCarly i-Crimes segments throughout a span of 3 years. I can see it as an abridged version with a newer and less touched upon franchise. Juni and Carmen ABSOLUTELY need to pay for their crimes.

quinton i need u to know u mentioning the hotdaga made me choke on my drink. i was fucking obsessed with it when i was still actively watching buzzfeed unsolved and u just unlocked all the memories i had of it. i WISH more ppl talked about the hotdaga tbh it feels like such a fever dream
If he makes it he should totally feature the car on Reddit with a faded Bigfoot outline. It was from this year I think, I want that car so much lol. It’s just a shadow of Bigfoot on the engine hood.
Calling it right now, the Clippy video would have been another “Every Ghost Show” situation, where it would flop, then years later everyone calls it the greatest video you ever made
I know the ladders inside joke!! I'm one of those ten people. Been watching your channel since the Fallen Titans era. Incase anyone is reading, Quinton found various ladders (both hidden and obvious) in Disneyland.
A video about Flash would be great. Not even a fallen titans video, but just a proper short form documentary going over the history of the software, why it became prominent, how it influenced the development of animation and game design from a niche to mass cultural scale, what it's impact on the internet and the animation and game industries is, what people are doing to preserve this history. You could collab with the animation RUclipsrs, so you got that brand synergy going on. But most importantly, done in the style of your Dan Schneider video, which is to the point, carefully handled, and thorough. Chef's kiss.
That Clippy video would have been a BANGER, but I understand why it was scrapped. My 2 favorite Quinton Reviews videos are Dreams and The Day Steve Left, and i have seen absolutely zero discourse about those.
i always find it so shocking quinton thinks everyone hates his stuff and thinks his stuff is bad. like, I like musicians who stole their music. I enjoy that video. its one Ive rewatched semi frequently
It’s really interesting to hear 2019-2020 described as “The Dark Ages” of the Quinton Reviews channel, since that’s around when I got into it (I think technically a little before then, since iirc the first vid I ever watched on the channel was the Ready Player One book review) and it might be my favorite era of the channel. The willingness to experiment and just talk about whatever was a lot of fun and gave the channel a good amount of variety; there was something really fun about following a channel where it felt like the next video could truly be about anything, whereas with the “Modern Era,” there was a good period where I kinda got burned out and fell behind because I didn’t want to exclusively hear Quinton talk about Nickelodeon sitcoms for such a long time. Additionally, I liked the collaborations Quinton would do during that era with people like Saltydkdan, LS Mark, Worthikids, etc, who I hadn’t heard of when Quinton collabed with them, and then ended up following later on. The lack of a consistent focus for the channel did have its downsides of course, but I think it’s worth shining a bit of a spotlight on the positive aspects that came with it as well. As for my favorite Quinton Reviews video, if I had to pick one, it probably would have to be the Garfield History one; the narrative elements of it flowed well, the historical elements were fascinating, and it’s just such a uniquely “Quinton” video, both in subject and style. It’s honestly hard to pick a favorite, though. For an honorable mention, I wanna shout-out Requiem For A Themed McDonald’s, cause I haven’t seen anyone in the comments talk about it, but it’s a banger and I still think about it and the companion video with Max Krieger whenever I drive by a McDonald’s that still uses the old 2000s design.
So many people have done Barbie lore videos where they CLAIM to watch every movie. But they ALWAYS skip the first one! I don't know if it's because it's technically a for-TV movie or what but more people should talk about it. It's about Barbie being an ambassador for world peace in the 80s and then travelling back in time to the 60s, destroying the future timeline, and making sure her brand identity is perpetual from that point on so that she can continue to rule. It's so dystopian if you read between the lines and I want to see more people make videos about it! Not to mention the music slaps.
My favorite video of yours is How I Rewrote the History of Garfield and I love your Garfield videos in general. Second I would say the History Channel trilogy. Third, but also one of the ones I love to rewatch, is Paul is Dead. It was one of the first videos of yours that I watched that was about something I knew nothing about. I liked it so much that I started just trusting that your videos would be enjoyable even if I didn't know anything about the topic.
On "The Spy Kids Commit War Crimes" If you're gonna do that, structure it similar to the icrimes. Like, go over the movies, point out the strangeness of hard lines coming out of A-list actors for something that's bordering on B-movie cheesiness, and at the end tally up the war crimes. Though, if you wanna go all-in, go over the other Rodriguez movies, see what you get out of it. On "Neopets" It seems like this falls under what I call "Total Eclipse of the Brand". Why can't X company or individual do Y thing? Because it doesn't fit the brand. I mostly think of Disney when I say it since there have been multiple times over the years where Disney has tried X thing and it doesn't pan out because it doesn't fit the brand of "Disney".
I always got the sense that he was essentially just his name. Not trying to sound rude about it. I'm sure the videos he made were all well and good enough at least for the time period, but the fact that so many people who recognize the name nowadays still don't fully understand who Kassem G actually was seems to give credence to this theory. "Everyone knows Kassem G, I'll get him to cameo in this video, that would be funny." This is just my reductive speculation, though. I'd also extend this speculation to apply to most of the bigger youtubers in the "vlog" era of ~2008-2011.
To be honest I think a Neopets video could fit right in on the channel - there's a lot of history with the site itself and a lot of in game lore to look at, and personally I always find it so interesting how it seems like despite that the story of not just Neopets but games they directly poked at as competitors like Pokemon what it seems like most people look back on is their own personal story of their beloved pets and not any of the in-game lore and story itself
Easily my top picks were the Spy Kids War Crimes or the Clippy video. My best friend and I watched some iCarly like 8 years ago, and we were counting up the crimes - not as finely as you did, but we still were like "hey, that's not legal, they should get in trouble!" And then years later, one of my friends now, who knows I like (well... used to like) the show was like, "there's a dude on RUclips who made a 5 hour video about the crimes of iCarly" and he was wrong about the overall content of the video, but obviously I watched the entire video the next day while coding at work, and well... here I am today. So the crimes of children's media is an odd genre I'm now kind of in love with entirely thanks to the iCrimes stuff lol The Clippy thing is mostly because I'm a programmer who is too young to have ever experienced Clippy but I've heard the horror stories and Bonzi Buddy killing Clippy is just hilarious to me.
Idk why but I feel like a really good piece of 2nd channel content would just be a walkthrough of your t shirt collection, god knows how many you must have now..
Hey, I want you to know you got me on that toothpaste gag, literally had to minimize video. Very good job on grossing me out on purpose, I hope this dopamine hits well.
iirc Maker Studio game about at the era when it was nearly impossible for individual channels to get monetization, so groups like maker were started as a project to genuinely promote channels to a professional level with sponsorships and such, and then they became almost over night pointless when RUclips launched the partner programs
I got so excited when you brought up the hotdoga! I’ve been a fan of Shane and Ryan since basically the beginning and no one ever mentions it. It was such a long-running bit too and ik it was so dumb but I find it odd bc people will mention Ricky Goldsworth but never random hotdoga lore.
trying to recapture the old thing instead of finding the new thing is something ive been struggling with too and to hear someone else say it out loud was kind of a wake up moment ngl lol
29:18 I’ve watched a video tallying every war crime committed by Fire Emblem protagonists, so I think there absolutely is a demographic that would click on “Did The Spy Kids Commit War Crimes?”
18:18 I’m being 100% honest here, that video is one of my favourite videos you ever made. That one, the paul is dead video and the fallen titans on Sargon of Akkad I’ve probably rewatched at least 3 times each. If you only made these types of videos going forward I wouldn’t even question it. 👍
Quinton, Your a really honest and trustworthy person! Your videos provide me with a great insight of knowledge, laughter and I love how you format your videos,
Ngl, I started watching during the Quinton Dark ages and it's weird because thats the era I'm "nostalgic" for now. They were authentic in a way some of your newer videos weren't (it felt like someone held you at gunpoint to make the victorious video)
Out of all these ideas I'd definitely watch a Bill and Ted video. It's a little far from the movie now but it also means you wouldn't be competing for oxygen with other youtubers talking about it. Plus having a personal connection always makes it more interesting.
The Spy Kids War Crimes thing might work as a side bit in a larger Spy Kids retrospective series, kinda like how you listed the crimes done by the iCarly universe characters in that series. So.... Spy Kids 20 hour retrospective series when?
Honestly I would have liked your take on Barbie. What I think makes the iCarly series stand out from other hours long video essays is that you don't just look at the media itself, but at the cultural context the media was part of, and I think looking at something like barbie through that lenses would not only be an interesting look at her as a character and a product, but also how America's idea of the ideal woman has evolved over time.
Here’s the thing about the creationist tourism idea: I’m an avid Oh No Ross And Carrie listener. I would’ve EATEN THAT UP. I can never get enough of content about weird religious/spiritual movements, pseudoscience, fringe spiritual leaders, cults, and so on. I actively get hype when creators cover stuff like that because it’s fascinating, and I’ll enjoy like 7 different pieces of coverage on Teal Swan or whatever and still gleefully jump on an eighth if I come across it. Yes, of course I’ve heard about a lot of the possible sites in that video, but I wouldn’t mind hearing again (and again and again). I’m so rabid for this stuff that when I got a flyer for a 7th Day Adventist event in the mail, I had to get friends to talk me down from going stealth just for funsies. Not to make my own reporting on it or anything, JUST for the fun of it. … Obviously I realize this is a wildly uncommon stance and that the video probably isn’t a good idea for the channel now, but it doesn’t mean I won’t be longing for the universe where it happened.
u r so real for this, i which i had ur level of enthusiasm bc i get NERVOUS when religious people approach me about jesus on the street 😂 i’ve taken to just saying “oh yup i’m already in whatever religion you’re pitching. oh, my church? uhhh i’m from out of town, you wouldn’t have heard of it”
I honestly feel so validated hearing you talk about the Hot Daga because what's so interesting that if you go back and rewatch the Hot Daga, you can see the bare bones of ideas that Shane reused for the "lore" in Puppet History. Ideas like characters coming back as holograms or time travel and just little stuff like that that I find fascinating. But yeah Buzzfeed Unsolved was GOAT, it;s hard to get into the stuff they do nowadays because it feels like they're a bit of tryhards trying to recapture the old magic. Love Puppet History, but you can only hunt so many ghosts lol.
I had always hoped for a TheWineKone fallen titans. I can't think of another example of a youtuber that just.. slowed down and never seemed stressed about the fact that he just let his channel go from front page to obscurity and just... NEVER leave character.
I love that You can do this kind of video where You talk about tour videos and i can perfectly follow all up cause i been watching You for years and i have never had something like this happen to me with a RUclips creator.
Fuck, we could’ve gotten a video about Ark Encounter?? You’ve gotta circle back to that one someday. Or at least find another excuse to wear those ladder ears
Honest to god, I wish you did//would do the illuminati video. I just really find anything with freemasonry and its adjacent fraternities fascinating, so it'd be pretty rad to see a video on the Illuminati that was coming at it from purely historical perspective.
I totally agree with you about Barbie movie, it was somehow.... empty. There was no Skipper or Stacy or black and white Midge. The Dreamhouse parody show is pretty epic. About 10 years ago I watched some kid channel where they made a whole sitcom with irl barbies lol I have no idea why I watched that but it was actually well written considering it was just kids.
Oh my god finally someone else who was into the hotdaga-- I watched all those damn post mortems, they were absolutely fascinating to me. Kinda wish they'd do something like that again with Watcher, but I can see why they don't.
I LOVE the idea of a video on the lore of Hotdoga nestled in a Buzzfeed Unsolved video; what a throwback that would’ve been! I understand why you scrapped the idea but what a loss
Regarding your "dark era": 2019 was a pretty dark time for me as well. It was the first time I was living by myself, and I was living over 8 hours from my support system growing up. I tend to be very socially awkward, so once I had WiFi in my apartment, I watched a crap ton of RUclips videos, and I think it was around this time that I really began engaging with your content on the regular. To me, it's a very profound realization that the content of yours for which I feel a great deal of nostalgia (because of it helping me through a dark time in my own life) was not a great time mentally for you either. I'm glad you're better, I'm relieved I'm no longer in that place physically and mentally, and I wanted to thank you for your content over the half decade I've been subscribed.
First of all I just wanna say it's comforting in a weird way to hear someone else who had their lowest point in 2019. Just because I see so many people that are like "2019 was so amazing it was the last good year before covid ruined everything" meanwhile 2019 was also an abysmal year for me. I'm also doing much better now so solidarity, Quinton! Secondly the spy kids war crimes video would absolutely be a hit now and would love to see that. I'd also love to see Fallen Titans Clippy but I agree that wouldn't fit now.
I'm at around the 23:20 mark of the video, and your talk about how it's engaging and really fun to go into deep dives about lore for stories that don't deserve it really hits home to me. I'm a fan of a bunch of stories that are either 1) deceptively stupid and yet there's a thread of deep meaning/emotion under the surface level (Homestuck used to be this, the Kirby franchise used to be this before its lore became common knowledge) OR 2) Actually shallow and stupid content that nevertheless had loose threads and pot stuff that fans would latch onto and make far deeper and more emotional than needed (I love RadioTVSolutions stuff)
Honestly the Spy Kids War Crimes idea could fit in as a good transitionary video between the iCarly Era and whatever is coming next, you can even make a joke about "Spy Crimes" and how it sounds familiar, before brushing it off and moving on Honestly seeing a peek into your "quality control" so to say has been pretty enlightening in terms of what does get published. Keep up the great work Quinton!
I have tuned in for every video of yours that I could since whenever the Thinning came out because I was just soooo intrigued by YT Purge. And then I went back through all the videos you had done before and I've been tuning into everyone since. And that didn't even feel that long ago, but I was so satisfied by the Quinton Lore movie I was like... "Oh wow... I like really love Quinton reviews" And I have been betrayed by tons of creators, but there are creators that will post monthly to yearly that I just get around to... But I move things around when I find out you have a new main channel video. And like... Listening to you talk about your seasons I was once again like "Oh wow... I AM SUCH A FAN!" I would have loved it if all of these videos could have existed, but I'll be so happy for whatever else you make. Keep it up!! _____ (( unrelated but I would just love to know that other people out there also know this song and get the vibe of my feelings: We the Hatchet Rydaz, Ride or Die Get the Fuck Back or Never Live Again!))
Ya tengo como dos años siguiendo tu canal y el contenido de Nick fue lo que me trajo aquí: pero en realidad tienes talento para esto y me da mucha risa como en 2019 te daban por "fallen titan" or some shit like that and yet, you`re still here. Keep it up, ese
If it’s any consolation, that 2019 span of content was when you made the Garfield lost media video and was the first time I had actually sat down and watched something you made and I’ve been watching consistently ever since. I’m just one guy but I have friends who’s first exposure to you was that video too so I’m sure lots of people share this. I’m sorry to hear that year in particular was so bad for you but the stuff you made during that time was still quality and even if maybe you didn’t like it right after posting it, it made a lot of people happy :)
This is such a fascinating point of view as an artist... in art school, im being taught to save all of ur ideas, all ur thumbnails and concepts, cause even if it doesnt work for this assignment, you might use it later. And ive done that! Ive spent hours re-conceptualizing just for a professor to look at an old idea i never finished and tell me "this is it, why didnt you show this to me first?" And as a person in fandom culture, i rewatch videos with the same premise over and over because each person has something different to say! Especially with fanfiction (ik weird comparison sorry) but i remember authors apologizing for rehashing the same "washed up" tropes as everyone else and everyones response is like "no, i came here for this. U are doing the lords work for us thank you" Like... idk. It makes me sad to hear Quinton say how all of these suck and are stupid because they all sound FASCINATING to me (especially clippy killed by bonsai buddy i literally stared at the wall with my mouth dropped when i heard that). I know its hard to manage imposter syndrome as a creative, but like. There are people at ny art school who look at each other like "omg did yoh watch the new quinton video" "dude im gonna listen to it during homework tonight i have a painting due tomorrow and this video is the only thing thats gonna get me through it-" even topics that i dont fully have an interest in i would watch just because i know this silly internet man is funny and itll keep me entertained while i work and make the hours pass by with a little more serotonin. I dont really know what im trying to get at here anymore i just want Quinton to know that his work is valued, even beyond that of just content. There are people who appreciate him and what he does because its HIM, not because its a topic they like. There are people like me who consider themselves fans of his and his work, like they would an artist! And i wanna watch those videos!!! (I also respect that they are products of a past Quinton tho and would not encourage him to take up projects that remind him of darker times. Please be nice to yourself man)

Quinton Reviews final video will be a 12 hour Fallen Titan retrospective on his own content and we'll never hear from him again
he already did that though
I’d cry
There IS a Quinton Reviews Fallen Titans.
Arguably, it's the cornerstone of the QR "lore" if you want to know about his dad, his first years and what made him start doing videos.
@@fluffr_nuttr8032and doubling down on it in a more deranged and subversive way would be the perfect book end
Well, now it's not going to be. He's going to be so mad someone guessed it, that he's gonna spend the next five years trying to come up with a better idea.
That Spy Kids video sounds like it'd slap honestly.
It reminds me a lot of the BDG video about which smash Brothers stage violates the most OSHA regulations. ❤🎉
I'd go for a spy kids lore videos
@@Hamzahasanlse Hell yeah! I wonder if there are any good vids of those right now
even just a video talking about the batshit weirdness of the franchise would be great. It's so bizarre and there was a like half soft reboot that nobody saw and Machete is canon and it links to some Tarantino movies
i’m less than a minute into this video and i can’t stop staring at the jimmy neutron figure crucified on the wall. what happened there? what sins have his fellow nicktoon figures committed that he needed to sacrifice himself to pardon them?
He tried to play God...
Didn't even notice that
He doesn't even look real he looks edited in
He died for Timmy's sins
He doesn't know about the box
The real Quintin's reviews are the friends we made along the way.

Yeah same, I never saw it as hit pieces more like archives. It’s really important content imo. I wish the buzzfeed unsolved one would happen, somehow.
I think that this is in part because Quinton consciously shifted the focus in that direction more and more over time, gradually dissecting the assumed conceit, but also because I suspect that on some level he was always more interested than the historical aspect than the sensationalism despite wanting to bridge that gap, as indicated by how he talks about the genesis of the series and where his heart was as a creator from the beginning.

Same with Arbuckle.
it introduced me to lost media content!
That video is a lost media treasure and I won't be convinced otherwise
Garfield Lost Media is seriously so good
... I need that Spy Kids War Crime video. It always so sad to hear Quinton talk about ideas he thinks are dumb when they're usually genuinely interesting and I would love to see but he thinks they'd suck.
you did not fall out of love with the clippy idea, you were smiling so hard throughout describing it! if i could go back in time and revive one of these concepts it would definitely be clippy
"I need to brush my teeth" Comes back with a gatorade. Thank you for the unexpected laugh thinking of how that tasted
I am begging for an entire second channel video about the Hot Daga. I don't need a whole main channel video about Buzzfeed Unsolved, but I am so, SO desperate to hear about your theories on what the conclusion of the Hot Daga would be like.
FOR REALLLLL
YESSSS
Dude I LOVE the "Musicians Who Stole Their Music" video. I love learning about that kind of stuff
"I didn't want to back pedal because uh, I have a spine" I love you Quinton 😂
Honestly I'm just anticipating a Doctor Who video, in whatever form that may be. I've been doing a revisit of the modern series with my partner and seeing you tweet about the show has made me invested in what direction you could take a video of it in.
I'll be real, I found Quinton thru his End of Time review. Watched his other DW stuff, then the rest. I'm still fascinated by "Zygon".
That Clippy video honestly sounds amazing. I dont think it fits into the kinda modern era, but it makes a good in-betweener, at least.
It seems so fun, hopefully someone else can pick up on the idea if he doesn't
Seems a little too ahead of its time.
Not gonna lie, part of me was expecting it to he canceled because of Gilbert Gottfrieds death (he was the official voice of clippy) and the murder subplot would have been in way too poor taste.
yeah id 100% watch it, but understandable why it was scrapped
27:14 It's a hilarious and interesting idea for a video, but the big problem for me is that you literally made this exact premise for the iCarly i-Crimes segments throughout a span of 3 years. I can see it as an abridged version with a newer and less touched upon franchise. Juni and Carmen ABSOLUTELY need to pay for their crimes.

quinton i need u to know u mentioning the hotdaga made me choke on my drink. i was fucking obsessed with it when i was still actively watching buzzfeed unsolved and u just unlocked all the memories i had of it. i WISH more ppl talked about the hotdaga tbh it feels like such a fever dream
same. i was sooo invested in the hotdaga at the time and hearing quinton mention it was a shock to my system
I still want that Bigfoot video
If he makes it he should totally feature the car on Reddit with a faded Bigfoot outline. It was from this year I think, I want that car so much lol. It’s just a shadow of Bigfoot on the engine hood.

A video about Flash would be great. Not even a fallen titans video, but just a proper short form documentary going over the history of the software, why it became prominent, how it influenced the development of animation and game design from a niche to mass cultural scale, what it's impact on the internet and the animation and game industries is, what people are doing to preserve this history. You could collab with the animation RUclipsrs, so you got that brand synergy going on. But most importantly, done in the style of your Dan Schneider video, which is to the point, carefully handled, and thorough.
Chef's kiss.
That Clippy video would have been a BANGER, but I understand why it was scrapped. My 2 favorite Quinton Reviews videos are Dreams and The Day Steve Left, and i have seen absolutely zero discourse about those.
The Spy Kids video idea is compelling and kinda fits your newer brand.
i always find it so shocking quinton thinks everyone hates his stuff and thinks his stuff is bad.
like, I like musicians who stole their music. I enjoy that video. its one Ive rewatched semi frequently
just dance video not mentioned, its still on lets fuckin go
Saying "The hotdaga" in unison was an experience thank you quinton
It’s really interesting to hear 2019-2020 described as “The Dark Ages” of the Quinton Reviews channel, since that’s around when I got into it (I think technically a little before then, since iirc the first vid I ever watched on the channel was the Ready Player One book review) and it might be my favorite era of the channel.
The willingness to experiment and just talk about whatever was a lot of fun and gave the channel a good amount of variety; there was something really fun about following a channel where it felt like the next video could truly be about anything, whereas with the “Modern Era,” there was a good period where I kinda got burned out and fell behind because I didn’t want to exclusively hear Quinton talk about Nickelodeon sitcoms for such a long time.
Additionally, I liked the collaborations Quinton would do during that era with people like Saltydkdan, LS Mark, Worthikids, etc, who I hadn’t heard of when Quinton collabed with them, and then ended up following later on.
The lack of a consistent focus for the channel did have its downsides of course, but I think it’s worth shining a bit of a spotlight on the positive aspects that came with it as well.
As for my favorite Quinton Reviews video, if I had to pick one, it probably would have to be the Garfield History one; the narrative elements of it flowed well, the historical elements were fascinating, and it’s just such a uniquely “Quinton” video, both in subject and style. It’s honestly hard to pick a favorite, though.
For an honorable mention, I wanna shout-out Requiem For A Themed McDonald’s, cause I haven’t seen anyone in the comments talk about it, but it’s a banger and I still think about it and the companion video with Max Krieger whenever I drive by a McDonald’s that still uses the old 2000s design.
So many people have done Barbie lore videos where they CLAIM to watch every movie. But they ALWAYS skip the first one! I don't know if it's because it's technically a for-TV movie or what but more people should talk about it. It's about Barbie being an ambassador for world peace in the 80s and then travelling back in time to the 60s, destroying the future timeline, and making sure her brand identity is perpetual from that point on so that she can continue to rule. It's so dystopian if you read between the lines and I want to see more people make videos about it! Not to mention the music slaps.
My favorite video of yours is How I Rewrote the History of Garfield and I love your Garfield videos in general. Second I would say the History Channel trilogy. Third, but also one of the ones I love to rewatch, is Paul is Dead. It was one of the first videos of yours that I watched that was about something I knew nothing about. I liked it so much that I started just trusting that your videos would be enjoyable even if I didn't know anything about the topic.
The murder of clippy mystery mockumentary definitely sounds funny :D
On "The Spy Kids Commit War Crimes"
If you're gonna do that, structure it similar to the icrimes. Like, go over the movies, point out the strangeness of hard lines coming out of A-list actors for something that's bordering on B-movie cheesiness, and at the end tally up the war crimes.
Though, if you wanna go all-in, go over the other Rodriguez movies, see what you get out of it.
On "Neopets"
It seems like this falls under what I call "Total Eclipse of the Brand". Why can't X company or individual do Y thing? Because it doesn't fit the brand. I mostly think of Disney when I say it since there have been multiple times over the years where Disney has tried X thing and it doesn't pan out because it doesn't fit the brand of "Disney".
Kassem G is so baffiling, idk what he was big for but he was everywhere. from shay carl to now being on streams with former funhaus guys
He sat elbow to elbow with NORM MACDONALD.
I always got the sense that he was essentially just his name. Not trying to sound rude about it. I'm sure the videos he made were all well and good enough at least for the time period, but the fact that so many people who recognize the name nowadays still don't fully understand who Kassem G actually was seems to give credence to this theory. "Everyone knows Kassem G, I'll get him to cameo in this video, that would be funny." This is just my reductive speculation, though. I'd also extend this speculation to apply to most of the bigger youtubers in the "vlog" era of ~2008-2011.
Well that same thing applies to a huge percent of "famous" people these days.
To be honest I think a Neopets video could fit right in on the channel - there's a lot of history with the site itself and a lot of in game lore to look at, and personally I always find it so interesting how it seems like despite that the story of not just Neopets but games they directly poked at as competitors like Pokemon what it seems like most people look back on is their own personal story of their beloved pets and not any of the in-game lore and story itself
At least Extra History/Credit already made an Illuminati history lesson, demystifying it away from conspiracies
rip high school musical video you will be remembered
Easily my top picks were the Spy Kids War Crimes or the Clippy video. My best friend and I watched some iCarly like 8 years ago, and we were counting up the crimes - not as finely as you did, but we still were like "hey, that's not legal, they should get in trouble!" And then years later, one of my friends now, who knows I like (well... used to like) the show was like, "there's a dude on RUclips who made a 5 hour video about the crimes of iCarly" and he was wrong about the overall content of the video, but obviously I watched the entire video the next day while coding at work, and well... here I am today. So the crimes of children's media is an odd genre I'm now kind of in love with entirely thanks to the iCrimes stuff lol
The Clippy thing is mostly because I'm a programmer who is too young to have ever experienced Clippy but I've heard the horror stories and Bonzi Buddy killing Clippy is just hilarious to me.
I’d like to see the What Happen to Clippy? video and the Neopets thing.
Idk why but I feel like a really good piece of 2nd channel content would just be a walkthrough of your t shirt collection, god knows how many you must have now..
seconding this!!
Hey, I want you to know you got me on that toothpaste gag, literally had to minimize video. Very good job on grossing me out on purpose, I hope this dopamine hits well.
As someone who watched you pre 2020. The spy kids idea would have been amazing lol
as someone who has seen every one of your videos the "seasons" vibe def came thru for me altho i think of it more like eras lol. keep it up nice vids!
iirc Maker Studio game about at the era when it was nearly impossible for individual channels to get monetization, so groups like maker were started as a project to genuinely promote channels to a professional level with sponsorships and such, and then they became almost over night pointless when RUclips launched the partner programs
Brian David Gilbert made that war crime video but about Mario on the Polygon channel
I got so excited when you brought up the hotdoga! I’ve been a fan of Shane and Ryan since basically the beginning and no one ever mentions it. It was such a long-running bit too and ik it was so dumb but I find it odd bc people will mention Ricky Goldsworth but never random hotdoga lore.
Just started the video. I’m hoping he mentions fallen titans homestuck
Watch my previous video
@@QuintonRe2s I will
trying to recapture the old thing instead of finding the new thing is something ive been struggling with too and to hear someone else say it out loud was kind of a wake up moment ngl lol
At this point, you've built up enough good will with me that I'll at least start watching any video you put out.
The spy kids videos seem like a fun idea, tbh.
Just started, holding out hope he'll bring up something already covered in his previous video
Spy Kids w*r crimes would be so freaking edgy rn lol
29:18 I’ve watched a video tallying every war crime committed by Fire Emblem protagonists, so I think there absolutely is a demographic that would click on “Did The Spy Kids Commit War Crimes?”
18:18 I’m being 100% honest here, that video is one of my favourite videos you ever made. That one, the paul is dead video and the fallen titans on Sargon of Akkad I’ve probably rewatched at least 3 times each. If you only made these types of videos going forward I wouldn’t even question it. 👍
I'm so happy to meet another Paul is Dead enjoyer.
Quinton, Your a really honest and trustworthy person! Your videos provide me with a great insight of knowledge, laughter and I love how you format your videos,
Ngl, I started watching during the Quinton Dark ages and it's weird because thats the era I'm "nostalgic" for now. They were authentic in a way some of your newer videos weren't (it felt like someone held you at gunpoint to make the victorious video)
Out of all these ideas I'd definitely watch a Bill and Ted video. It's a little far from the movie now but it also means you wouldn't be competing for oxygen with other youtubers talking about it. Plus having a personal connection always makes it more interesting.
The barbie spy game was so good I miss it every day. That and the Barbie Rapunzel game were two of my favorite games ever
The Spy Kids War Crimes thing might work as a side bit in a larger Spy Kids retrospective series, kinda like how you listed the crimes done by the iCarly universe characters in that series.
So.... Spy Kids 20 hour retrospective series when?
Honestly I would have liked your take on Barbie. What I think makes the iCarly series stand out from other hours long video essays is that you don't just look at the media itself, but at the cultural context the media was part of, and I think looking at something like barbie through that lenses would not only be an interesting look at her as a character and a product, but also how America's idea of the ideal woman has evolved over time.
Here’s the thing about the creationist tourism idea: I’m an avid Oh No Ross And Carrie listener. I would’ve EATEN THAT UP. I can never get enough of content about weird religious/spiritual movements, pseudoscience, fringe spiritual leaders, cults, and so on. I actively get hype when creators cover stuff like that because it’s fascinating, and I’ll enjoy like 7 different pieces of coverage on Teal Swan or whatever and still gleefully jump on an eighth if I come across it. Yes, of course I’ve heard about a lot of the possible sites in that video, but I wouldn’t mind hearing again (and again and again). I’m so rabid for this stuff that when I got a flyer for a 7th Day Adventist event in the mail, I had to get friends to talk me down from going stealth just for funsies. Not to make my own reporting on it or anything, JUST for the fun of it.
… Obviously I realize this is a wildly uncommon stance and that the video probably isn’t a good idea for the channel now, but it doesn’t mean I won’t be longing for the universe where it happened.
u r so real for this, i which i had ur level of enthusiasm bc i get NERVOUS when religious people approach me about jesus on the street 😂 i’ve taken to just saying “oh yup i’m already in whatever religion you’re pitching. oh, my church? uhhh i’m from out of town, you wouldn’t have heard of it”
Yoooo secret agent barbie for PC was my shit when I was a kid
I honestly feel so validated hearing you talk about the Hot Daga because what's so interesting that if you go back and rewatch the Hot Daga, you can see the bare bones of ideas that Shane reused for the "lore" in Puppet History. Ideas like characters coming back as holograms or time travel and just little stuff like that that I find fascinating. But yeah Buzzfeed Unsolved was GOAT, it;s hard to get into the stuff they do nowadays because it feels like they're a bit of tryhards trying to recapture the old magic. Love Puppet History, but you can only hunt so many ghosts lol.
I had always hoped for a TheWineKone fallen titans. I can't think of another example of a youtuber that just.. slowed down and never seemed stressed about the fact that he just let his channel go from front page to obscurity and just... NEVER leave character.
I feel like the Neopets video could end up in some real sinister rabbit hole of shell companies and missing persons
I love that You can do this kind of video where You talk about tour videos and i can perfectly follow all up cause i been watching You for years and i have never had something like this happen to me with a RUclips creator.
Fuck, we could’ve gotten a video about Ark Encounter?? You’ve gotta circle back to that one someday. Or at least find another excuse to wear those ladder ears
Honest to god, I wish you did//would do the illuminati video. I just really find anything with freemasonry and its adjacent fraternities fascinating, so it'd be pretty rad to see a video on the Illuminati that was coming at it from purely historical perspective.
I totally agree with you about Barbie movie, it was somehow.... empty. There was no Skipper or Stacy or black and white Midge. The Dreamhouse parody show is pretty epic. About 10 years ago I watched some kid channel where they made a whole sitcom with irl barbies lol I have no idea why I watched that but it was actually well written considering it was just kids.
I’ve only just started watching but I just have to say this sounds like an amazing video concept and I’m so hyped to see the Top 10 Cancelled Videos™️
The hot daga was amazing i think about it constantly I’m glad to just hear someone bring it up I completely get not making a video about it
Oh my god finally someone else who was into the hotdaga-- I watched all those damn post mortems, they were absolutely fascinating to me. Kinda wish they'd do something like that again with Watcher, but I can see why they don't.
The Clippy video idea is so funny to me, I love the idea of doing a murder mystery take on old defunct media/webtools.
I LOVE the idea of a video on the lore of Hotdoga nestled in a Buzzfeed Unsolved video; what a throwback that would’ve been! I understand why you scrapped the idea but what a loss
15:50 When you need to brush your teeth mid video and leave the footage in. #Relatable
“Did the Spy Kids commit war crimes” is a Leo Vader ass video title
Regarding your "dark era":
2019 was a pretty dark time for me as well. It was the first time I was living by myself, and I was living over 8 hours from my support system growing up. I tend to be very socially awkward, so once I had WiFi in my apartment, I watched a crap ton of RUclips videos, and I think it was around this time that I really began engaging with your content on the regular.
To me, it's a very profound realization that the content of yours for which I feel a great deal of nostalgia (because of it helping me through a dark time in my own life) was not a great time mentally for you either. I'm glad you're better, I'm relieved I'm no longer in that place physically and mentally, and I wanted to thank you for your content over the half decade I've been subscribed.
First of all I just wanna say it's comforting in a weird way to hear someone else who had their lowest point in 2019. Just because I see so many people that are like "2019 was so amazing it was the last good year before covid ruined everything" meanwhile 2019 was also an abysmal year for me. I'm also doing much better now so solidarity, Quinton!
Secondly the spy kids war crimes video would absolutely be a hit now and would love to see that. I'd also love to see Fallen Titans Clippy but I agree that wouldn't fit now.
Not gonna lie, for a moment there I thought Kassem G was Casey Neistat.
In current year 2024, I had the wrong definition of cancelled when I clicked on this.
I'm at around the 23:20 mark of the video, and your talk about how it's engaging and really fun to go into deep dives about lore for stories that don't deserve it really hits home to me.
I'm a fan of a bunch of stories that are either 1) deceptively stupid and yet there's a thread of deep meaning/emotion under the surface level (Homestuck used to be this, the Kirby franchise used to be this before its lore became common knowledge) OR 2) Actually shallow and stupid content that nevertheless had loose threads and pot stuff that fans would latch onto and make far deeper and more emotional than needed (I love RadioTVSolutions stuff)
The Spy Kids, Buzzfeed Unsolved, and Clippy videos honestly sound phenomenal.
I know it will never happen now since Quinton has talked about it, but that Clippy Fallen Titans episode is something I really wish came to fruition.
The Spy Kids video sounds incredible. I would watch it over and over
Love being able to peek behind the curtain and listen to your process of creating content.Its been great seeing you grow as a creator/person
The chippy idea is amazing and you should totally still do that one. Just wait, like, two years and spring it on us unexpectedly
The Spy Kids one sounded like a lot of fun. Not gonna lie.
Honestly the Spy Kids War Crimes idea could fit in as a good transitionary video between the iCarly Era and whatever is coming next, you can even make a joke about "Spy Crimes" and how it sounds familiar, before brushing it off and moving on
Honestly seeing a peek into your "quality control" so to say has been pretty enlightening in terms of what does get published.
Keep up the great work Quinton!
Ladders 🪜
So happy to be one of the 10 people who gets the ladders joke
I have tuned in for every video of yours that I could since whenever the Thinning came out because I was just soooo intrigued by YT Purge. And then I went back through all the videos you had done before and I've been tuning into everyone since.
And that didn't even feel that long ago, but I was so satisfied by the Quinton Lore movie I was like... "Oh wow... I like really love Quinton reviews"
And I have been betrayed by tons of creators, but there are creators that will post monthly to yearly that I just get around to... But I move things around when I find out you have a new main channel video.
And like... Listening to you talk about your seasons I was once again like "Oh wow... I AM SUCH A FAN!"
I would have loved it if all of these videos could have existed, but I'll be so happy for whatever else you make.
Keep it up!!

(( unrelated but I would just love to know that other people out there also know this song and get the vibe of my feelings:
We the Hatchet Rydaz, Ride or Die
Get the Fuck Back or
Never Live Again!))
Ya tengo como dos años siguiendo tu canal y el contenido de Nick fue lo que me trajo aquí: pero en realidad tienes talento para esto y me da mucha risa como en 2019 te daban por "fallen titan" or some shit like that and yet, you`re still here. Keep it up, ese
God I completely forgot about the Hotdaga. Thank you for reminding me of it bc I loved that thing to pieces.
speaking of your fans going back and watching your old videos, by far one of my favorite videos you've made is "Every Ghost Show" its so good
I vividly remember the Kassem G era of youtube and would've loved a doc on him and Maker Studios!
I
've been subscribed to your for yeas Quintin, and this year's April Fools video was genuinely one of our favorites
If it’s any consolation, that 2019 span of content was when you made the Garfield lost media video and was the first time I had actually sat down and watched something you made and I’ve been watching consistently ever since. I’m just one guy but I have friends who’s first exposure to you was that video too so I’m sure lots of people share this. I’m sorry to hear that year in particular was so bad for you but the stuff you made during that time was still quality and even if maybe you didn’t like it right after posting it, it made a lot of people happy :)
This is such a fascinating point of view as an artist... in art school, im being taught to save all of ur ideas, all ur thumbnails and concepts, cause even if it doesnt work for this assignment, you might use it later. And ive done that! Ive spent hours re-conceptualizing just for a professor to look at an old idea i never finished and tell me "this is it, why didnt you show this to me first?"
And as a person in fandom culture, i rewatch videos with the same premise over and over because each person has something different to say! Especially with fanfiction (ik weird comparison sorry) but i remember authors apologizing for rehashing the same "washed up" tropes as everyone else and everyones response is like "no, i came here for this. U are doing the lords work for us thank you"
Like... idk. It makes me sad to hear Quinton say how all of these suck and are stupid because they all sound FASCINATING to me (especially clippy killed by bonsai buddy i literally stared at the wall with my mouth dropped when i heard that). I know its hard to manage imposter syndrome as a creative, but like. There are people at ny art school who look at each other like "omg did yoh watch the new quinton video" "dude im gonna listen to it during homework tonight i have a painting due tomorrow and this video is the only thing thats gonna get me through it-" even topics that i dont fully have an interest in i would watch just because i know this silly internet man is funny and itll keep me entertained while i work and make the hours pass by with a little more serotonin.
I dont really know what im trying to get at here anymore i just want Quinton to know that his work is valued, even beyond that of just content. There are people who appreciate him and what he does because its HIM, not because its a topic they like. There are people like me who consider themselves fans of his and his work, like they would an artist! And i wanna watch those videos!!!
(I also respect that they are products of a past Quinton tho and would not encourage him to take up projects that remind him of darker times. Please be nice to yourself man)
alt title: Quinton talks about his imposter syndrome for an hour
Spykids concept sounds like a Polygon Unraveled
SEASON 8 BABY A MILLION SEASONS OF QUINTON REVIEWS BABY. I really love the distinct season vibes of it all tho
