I love how the internet tried to make this guy a lolcow but eventually realised that he is the pinnacle of what every man should be and the embodiment of stoicism
they made him a meme, not a lolcow, no one enjoyed it when others fucked with him. he doesn't display any lolcow mannerisms, even if he is a bit odd acting.
You gotta admire the dedication of a young man determined to offer excellent food reviews despite occasionally suffering food poisoning. May the awesomeness continue
He always sounds like he's a 1940s private eye in a noir film. "So this dame walks into my office, long legs all the way up to her chin, hair as platinum as the US Mint...she tosses a bag on my desk and says, 'This McRib....is it good,' and I knew I had my latest client...."
I don't know if Reviewbrah's dad realizes this or not but by shutting down him replying to the negative comments he may have saved his son from becoming a lolcow. Trolls would have immediately started trying to upset him more. I'm so glad it didn't result in John becoming a lolcow. He seems like a genuinely kind person who just wants to share his interests and opinions in a really wholesome way.
Very true. I do not blame John for replying the way he did -- after all, it was the 2000's, lots of such slurs were being thrown around a lot by teenage boys like him, so he "went with the flow". But his parents were definitely upstanding people who knew that this kind of language and such reactions were wrong, and set him on the right path. They did the best thing, and saved their son a lot of embarrassment while also teaching him how to correctly react to such insults. Bravo to them
I adore this young man. He is well-spoken, well-dressed, and he gives really in-depth, thoughtful reviews of fast food. I really appreciate his drama-free, calm content. So glad you chose him to cover! ❤
He's unique and I like that he isn't afraid to just be himself, vintage clothing and all. Our gorls could take some lessons from him. 😂👍 Its a nice change from the lolcows.
This guy is so wholesome. He's just living his best life, showing off his interests and doing what he loves. I can't understand why people have to make fun of others for doing things that are, ultimately, harmless. If anything, I wish I had the confidence to just be myself, like John does. Edit: Also, idk why I'm genuinely so happy to see somebody review water! Water does have a different taste depending on the minerals and purifiers used, as well as what is used to contain it (metal tends to actually make the water taste metallic). There's actually a sort of job called a water sommelier, who's job is to do just that. He's a true food and drink connoisseur!
I think the unsung hero of this whole story is John's dad. It goes to show what a big role proper parenting plays in a persons life. If John went unchecked and continued with the type of responses he posted in the beginning, we would be watching a documentary about another lolcow. John learned a valuable lesson by his dad stepping up, monitoring his son's social media, and properly disciplining him. Through hard work, patience, and politeness John shaped his channel into a way for him to make a good, honest living after learning that lesson. John's dad was a parent and not a best friend. He didn't care about hurting his son's feelings or if his son might be mad at him. He parented. It's hard, it's messy, and it is sorely lacking in today's society. Kudos to John's dad and John for doing the right thing, responding the right way, and being all around good men. I'm a proud new subscriber to Reviewbrah.
Beautifully stated. His story is amazing and it shows a boy grow into the man he is today. I am so glad he lives his life the way he wants. He encourages people to treat others with kindnness, respect and dignity. In this divisive time we can't hear that enough. Thank you John. ❤
"He didn't care about hurting his son's feelings or if his son might be mad at him." Uh, no, any good parent should care about their childs feelings, or whether or not their child loves them as a parent. Because constantly putting your child down emotionally, or making your child hate you, is a reflection of genuine poor parenting. It is not normal for a child to experience severe emotional distress or hatred in response to good discipline. Johns father put his foot down and did what had to be done BECAUSE he cares for his childs emotional wellbeing. You are doing something wrong if discipline is in any way rooted in a lack of care - from personal experience it usually means a parents only intent is to harm their child mentally/emotionally, when it SHOULD be a learning experience. Discipline is not inherent to punishment. The fastest way to create an adult who avoids growth or accountability is to make your child view discipline as a bad thing.
@@puppiekit how are you not able to differentiate between someone saying not caring about a sons feelings and not caring about a sons feelings for that particular action...it amazes me there are people that dont know how to operate at 50% instead of 0% or 100% lol

I definitely also have a crush on reviewbruh and my friends and family sometimes tease me on liking other rather unusual characters, but they are the best in my eyes.

I stan Reviewbrah. He's wholesome, humble, funny, and I love that he pursues his interests and fashion sense with confidence. I aspire to be more like him.
He's clearly a sweetheart. My sister is autistic and I wish people wouldn't lable everyone as autistic just because their behaviors or mannerisms are a bit out of the norm. He may be on the spectrum, but I don't see why it would really matter so no one needed to give him crap for it. Moderate to high functioning autistic people aren't invalid, they may just need a bit of patience from time to time.
As a vintage subculture lifer in my 50s, I’m gobsmacked that I wasn’t aware of this guy until today- he’s clearly one of the good ones, in a community sadly sprinkled with its share of toxicity. Fantastic piece!
Idk if I'm going to sound sad af, but I used to keep John's videos on when I was up way too late and going through serious depression...like questioning if I should be alive kind of depression. It was a really bleak time in my life and his voice and videos just helped me find a little peace and sleep when I was struggling. I don't even know the guy, but I appreciated his presence even if he was just a guy talking about food at 4 AM on the dim light of my phone screen. He and Good Mythical Morning helped me claw my way through that time and I'm so glad to be on the better side now.
That was not sad at all. It was the opposite! Lovely. I hope the black dog leaves you alone and things are better all around. And if all I had seen was the Starbucks Tower 😂 I would have subbed.

@@tibicenlinnei4014 same. He had a video about what to do when you feel bad or depressed and I watched it over and over again. Made me cry every single time.
I'm so happy when I see how he gradually got some confidence and started being a little silly, a little sassy. His roast on the grandma killed me. I love that he also no longer explains much about why he wears larger suits or why he keeps his nails slightly longer, he just leans into it and dunks on them.
He seems like a sweetheart. I just subbed to his channel. I hope he gets many more subs. Thank you, Snowflake. It's so refreshing to watch a good and kind creator.
As a Floridian I am proud to say he is one of our finest representatives. He is so wholesome and genuine and pure and I do believe he is either a time traveler or a ghost, maybe an alien trying to fit in with humans.
The pinnacle of cool is to be yourself and not give a damn what other people think. Most are terrrified of actually doing what they want for fear of others' judgement, so they hate those who aren't. And the juxtaposition of old fashioned dapper dress and reviews of 21st century junk food is kinda brilliant.
Had never heard of this guy, and was so scared it was all gonna go south. SO glad it didn't and he's doing wonderfully. What a beautiful soul, please continue to make videos like this 🙏🏽 ❤
I think Jhon is everything Amber wants to be. He's funny, geniue, does food reviews, people notice his quirks, is viral and knows how to troll properly. The fact that he hides such a potty mouth makes him so much more precious.
Love Review Brah. The guy is just a breath of fresh air. I don’t even care about his reviews, I’ll never eat any of the food he eats, he’s just great to watch.
That definitely explains his name. I couldn't picture him saying 'brah' in his reviews. Anyway, glad to see he's doing well and didn't let the negativity get to him
His style is impeccable. His narration is professional. His channel is wholesome. His reviews are informative... Truly, for such a 'niche' concept, Reviewbrah is undoubtedly the king. Great documentary! Cheers!
Back in the early 2000's My uncle was big into police scanners as well, he found the code for the Burger King drive-thru I lived a block from and we could listen to people ordering their food. One of my earliest memories of my Uncle.
It goes to show how easy it could be for someone without an actually strong support system become a lolcow type dude. Like, had his parents just not cared at all, he likely wouldn't have ever stopped responding so absurdly to negative comments and never had had the time to reflect on how he was behaving in the first place. Imagine if someone like Amber ever had a figure in her life that actually put their foot down and told her "no".
Its a common thread it seems. Lack of support, immature person with unrestricted access to the internet, feeding the negativity. Its the recipe for a lolcow. Imagine if Krystle's family put their foot down and said stop the YT or get out of our home.
Sad fact most people need a support system. The people who can go it alone and make something of themselves without someone there to help is small. That's why I hate there is really only 2 types of people. "You can't do anything anyone who makes it is lucky" types. Or the "you don't need anyone or anything anything but making it is just an excuse you just didn't try hard enough or want it" we're incredibly complex creatures with a vast variations in how we individually react to the situation around us.
Collecting vintage clothes and accessories is a fun and potentially inexpensive way to be stylish, and connect to history! John definitely wears the suits well 🎩
@@narutofan4545 Buddy ran out of ideas for what to reply with. Usually I hate when people pull the "Jealous?" card out, but I have the feeling you might just be envious of the fact he is content with his life. Maybe get off the internet for some time?
His suits and ties always make my week. Being one of those who has to wear a suit to work, I get the look. After a few years in career, I realized that most new suits are just poorly made and started buying suits at estate sales and getting them cleaned, tailored, etc. I've been wearing those classic suits from the 40s to 60s for about 10 years and almost every day someone asks me how I afford such nice suits...LOL...I just tell them I buy them from estate sales and they can't believe it. Secondary benefit of browsing estate sales has been picking up some great furnishings before antique "dealers" can jack the price up.
It's nice getting feel good documentaries every now and again. This lad reminds me of a guy I went to highschool with who also appreciated older styles and the fancier things, and just doing what he enjoyed. Letting young people be themselves and enjoy what they like (within reason, as all things should be) leads to a kinder life
I absolutely winced when he said he landed on his tailbone on that 12ft drop to concrete - I just cannot imagine the pain, ooof. John is a wonderful human being, so wholesome, so down to earth and not afraid to be himself.
I have never heard of John or his channel before this video. I absolutely adore his individuality, how genuine he truly seems and his sense of humor. Thank you Mr. Snowflake for making this video about John and his channel. It was a nice reprieve and John's has another subscriber.
This is so wholesome and fascinating. Whoever picks on this guy has a boring and miserable life. Who would have thought 100 years later that dressing nicely and speaking proper would be ridiculed like this. This really shows the decline of our society. Being gross is now cool, while being a gentleman is ridiculed.
I wouldn't be caught dead in a suit but I see so many people wearing clothes several sizes too big. Ironic considering he likes baggy suits but they're made with that design in mind while most are wearing clothes meant to fit close enough. I only wear t-shirts and jeans but you bet your ass they fit my frame.
This was very well done, im glad he is finding his own way through the RUclips stuff, sometimes his videos are recommended and they aren't bad to watch. Sometimes you just got to do what you love to do no matter who tries to talk bad about you.
@@justkiddin84 Yeah especially given what Elliot Roger did and how selfish and weird he was. Reviewbrah is just a quirky guy who likes old suits and food reviews I think hes very pleasant to watch.
Omg, a RUclipsr who actually had a parent, be a good parent?! 🤯 He’s so wholesome, I hope he is never involved in any insane mess 🤞 SN: I can’t see him dressing any other way, he was born to dress like that ☺️
I find him so calming and pleasant that sometimes when I have insomnia I put his videos on to help me relax. I don't even eat fast food, I just watch him for his delightful ambiance.
The portraits of him were amazing! I even loved the simple pencil drawing of him on the couch. It must be so hard to try and not be bothered by all the grotty negative people. He's honest, inoffensive and wholesome. Love his accent too
Never knew this guy's story (especially the trials & tribulations) although I did see him on Tosh. I'm actually surprised to hear that he struggled so much woth trolls because he was BY FAR the most self-aware subject of those features when he'd have memes or cows (we didn't have that word then) on to tease them a little but also give them some space to be funny or likeable. Tosh was good at finding where the people were at and would tailor the bit to their strengths or idiosyncrasies. If the person was a disaster, Tosh would play straight. If they were self-aware or at least fancied themselves entertainers, they would. This guy was the best straight man ever on the show. I guess he's really come a long way during his time on the Internet!
Im autistic and love his channel, i dont know if he is or isnt, but i can see why people would think he was, honestly purely because hes just openly himself even if that is unusual to others. I wish it didn't have such a negative connotation to others and to him because even if he was, there's nothing wrong with that! People just see people who are different and say it's autism and use that to be derogatory to that person and to people with autism and it makes me sad, we're not a catch all term for 'people it's okay to make fun of' it's so annoying! Who cares if he is, he's the only one who needs to know that and it doesn't justify people treating him poorly if he is or if he isn't. Its surprising to see his early comments clapping back at people, but he was so young and being attacked so much for such innocent stuff i can hardly blame him, its just unusual to see him not composed. I'm glad he got his channel back and continued. He seems much more comfortable with his audience, he doesnt really interact very much and think thats for the best as there are lots of nice genuine people, but there are so many mean people making weird comments giving weird faux compliments that theyre hoping he'll read and not realise its making fun. He doesnt seem to entertain it these days though. I cant beleive people were going as far as saying he would be the next elliot rogers, just becauee hes a little different. Just because he wears a suit and speaks in a formal manor. Hes really done nothing wrong at all, and people are so cruel to him, hes not even THAT weird, he literally just wears older clothes and had a formal/almost transatlantic accent, thats IT. Thats all he does and people are so cruel about it. It baffles me.
auDHD & also really like his channel 😁 spend so much time in neurodivergent-positive spaces almost forget how some strangely consider the terms to be negative
I mean, he isn't entirely wrong, people, the majority of them at least, don't want to learn anything new, or learn about past stuff like Short Wave. The fact he dropped from 2000 to 300 views is proof of that.
People suck, this kid has done absolutely nothing wrong to anybody, just wanting to be his true self and share that with others. Good for him for pushing through and proving them wrong. Long live Review Brah.
He’s such an old soul and genuine guy- a rare gem on this platform❤. Negative people are such a waste of skin, I hope karma gets each and every one of them.
OmGosh, who is his mom?! He is absolutely a gem! I felt like such a proud momma watching the clips of his first vids! Awww. I've watched a review or two, and I thoroughly enjoyed this vid!
This is the first time I've heard of this man, and he seems like a really sweet guy. I also appreciate that his parents did right by him when he was a bit out of hand. He's sort of got Mr. Rodgers vibes.
Mr S I love all of your films but this one ranks among my faves. What a refreshing change to watch such a lovely young man succeed, despite many setbacks. Thank you for a feel good experience 😘❤️
I've often wondered if he's putting on a character or if he's in on the joke, but the guy always seems so genuine. I think he's aware of the interest around him, and even knows that some people are watching him for the wrong reasons, but he also feels that most of his audience is more interested the content on how it's intended. I think his fans feed him a lot of support which encourages him to keep being himself... which, isn't really a bad thing? I mean we can laugh at how strange the guy can be sometimes, but we all enjoy seeing how pure and interesting he is. Not only that but he seems happy, he's making others happy, so what's the harm in him being a goof ball?
When I first saw this video and that it was an hour and 22 minutes long, I thought it would hold my attention for maybe 10 minutes but I just hit the 50 minute mark and I am fascinated by this young man’s story. I first started watching his videos on occasion maybe 5 or 6 years ago and I’ve always had a lot of questions about him. This video does a fantastic job of showing us what he’s all about. I’m so glad he’s been able to overcome the negative side of internet fame because he deserves all the success he has achieved.
I've watched his videos on and off over the years and always liked them! My husband is a ham radio operator, started almost exactly the same way as John did. It's good to see him continue to do what he enjoys, in his own unique style.

As a Floridian I am proud to say he is one of our finest representatives. He is so wholesome and genuine and pure and I do believe he is either a time traveler or a ghost, maybe an alien trying to fit in with humans.
ReviewBrah? My excitement is immeasurable and my day is all the better for it!
I’ll give your coverage of this icon a 9 out of 10.
The pinnacle of cool is to be yourself and not give a damn what other people think. Most are terrrified of actually doing what they want for fear of others' judgement, so they hate those who aren't. And the juxtaposition of old fashioned dapper dress and reviews of 21st century junk food is kinda brilliant.
Had never heard of this guy, and was so scared it was all gonna go south. SO glad it didn't and he's doing wonderfully. What a beautiful soul, please continue to make videos like this 🙏🏽 ❤
I think Jhon is everything Amber wants to be. He's funny, geniue, does food reviews, people notice his quirks, is viral and knows how to troll properly. The fact that he hides such a potty mouth makes him so much more precious.
Also not 600lbs.
Potty mouth and thoughts like 14:20?
Love Review Brah. The guy is just a breath of fresh air. I don’t even care about his reviews, I’ll never eat any of the food he eats, he’s just great to watch.
John is what we Brits call a good egg
he's not a time traveller, he's a man out of time
That definitely explains his name. I couldn't picture him saying 'brah' in his reviews. Anyway, glad to see he's doing well and didn't let the negativity get to him
John seems like a very big brained guy. He reminds me of my own son, who’s about the same age. This was truly wonderful. ♥️♥️♥️
Same! I watch him occasionally and I’m like, is this dude my kid’s twin!?! Not that I am biased. 😆They would most definitely be friends.
Is your son on the spectrum
@@narutofan4545 Why would that matter either way?
@@smugandsmarmy that's what I thought
@@narutofan4545 Then why would you ask?
His style is impeccable. His narration is professional. His channel is wholesome. His reviews are informative...
Truly, for such a 'niche' concept, Reviewbrah is undoubtedly the king.
Great documentary!
Cheers!
I just recently started seriously watching Reviewbrah. He's so peaceful and refined.
Back in the early 2000's My uncle was big into police scanners as well, he found the code for the Burger King drive-thru I lived a block from and we could listen to people ordering their food. One of my earliest memories of my Uncle.
How cool 😍
Awwwe🥰 baby Reviewbrah. I had forgotten how young he was when he started. John is such a wholesome young man. I love him to pieces🤗🤗
It goes to show how easy it could be for someone without an actually strong support system become a lolcow type dude. Like, had his parents just not cared at all, he likely wouldn't have ever stopped responding so absurdly to negative comments and never had had the time to reflect on how he was behaving in the first place. Imagine if someone like Amber ever had a figure in her life that actually put their foot down and told her "no".
Well said!🫶
Its a common thread it seems. Lack of support, immature person with unrestricted access to the internet, feeding the negativity. Its the recipe for a lolcow.
Imagine if Krystle's family put their foot down and said stop the YT or get out of our home.
Sad fact most people need a support system. The people who can go it alone and make something of themselves without someone there to help is small. That's why I hate there is really only 2 types of people. "You can't do anything anyone who makes it is lucky" types. Or the "you don't need anyone or anything anything but making it is just an excuse you just didn't try hard enough or want it" we're incredibly complex creatures with a vast variations in how we individually react to the situation around us.
Collecting vintage clothes and accessories is a fun and potentially inexpensive way to be stylish, and connect to history! John definitely wears the suits well 🎩
He looks like a child trying to imitate their father
@@narutofan4545 what’s wrong with that?
@@Tanya_Offscript LOL
@@narutofan4545 Definitely when he was... well, an actual child, but they are more fitting recent years.
@@narutofan4545 Buddy ran out of ideas for what to reply with. Usually I hate when people pull the "Jealous?" card out, but I have the feeling you might just be envious of the fact he is content with his life. Maybe get off the internet for some time?
His suits and ties always make my week. Being one of those who has to wear a suit to work, I get the look. After a few years in career, I realized that most new suits are just poorly made and started buying suits at estate sales and getting them cleaned, tailored, etc. I've been wearing those classic suits from the 40s to 60s for about 10 years and almost every day someone asks me how I afford such nice suits...LOL...I just tell them I buy them from estate sales and they can't believe it. Secondary benefit of browsing estate sales has been picking up some great furnishings before antique "dealers" can jack the price up.
So cool you made this, ❄️ I haven't tuned into The Report Of The Week in a few years. Love the character. I had no idea he'd been harassed 😕
His episode reviewing hateful comments is quite funny.
I’ve never seen someone go into so much detail describing a bagel. That was unique.
Don't care what anyone says, dude is a legend.
It's nice getting feel good documentaries every now and again. This lad reminds me of a guy I went to highschool with who also appreciated older styles and the fancier things, and just doing what he enjoyed. Letting young people be themselves and enjoy what they like (within reason, as all things should be) leads to a kinder life
I've been a subscriber of his for a while. I appreciate his originality. Thank you for this Report of the Week.
I had a friend that looks just like him, he reminds me so much of him. They both are unique individuals with good hearts. I’m smiling watching this.
"It's more likely that your grandma is to stop before I do" oh man 😅
the man who went from bullet ridden to bullet proof armed with nothing but an admirable character
he is a living memory
I’m SO glad this guy didn’t turn out to be a jerk. My faith in humanity is restored.
I absolutely winced when he said he landed on his tailbone on that 12ft drop to concrete - I just cannot imagine the pain, ooof. John is a wonderful human being, so wholesome, so down to earth and not afraid to be himself.
Also, I'm really really hungry now, thanks Mr Cardiflake 😣
I have never heard of John or his channel before this video. I absolutely adore his individuality, how genuine he truly seems and his sense of humor. Thank you Mr. Snowflake for making this video about John and his channel. It was a nice reprieve and John's has another subscriber.
Brilliant 😊
He’s definitely an old soul.
Too dumb for that
@@narutofan4545Why? Why say that?
@@AltClev37 just look at how he walks
@@narutofan4545That’s really not nice to say. He seems like a pretty decent good hearted dude. Who cares how he walks.
@@AltClev37 an old soul would walk and dress properly
This is so wholesome and fascinating. Whoever picks on this guy has a boring and miserable life.
Who would have thought 100 years later that dressing nicely and speaking proper would be ridiculed like this. This really shows the decline of our society. Being gross is now cool, while being a gentleman is ridiculed.
I wouldn't be caught dead in a suit but I see so many people wearing clothes several sizes too big. Ironic considering he likes baggy suits but they're made with that design in mind while most are wearing clothes meant to fit close enough. I only wear t-shirts and jeans but you bet your ass they fit my frame.
Gorlworld better leave him alone. He's a gem.
What is this? A Reviewbrah doc? Yes please! He is a genius and a classy dresser. A national treasure!
Truly the last bastion of hope in these dark internet times. May he never waiver or falter in his truth with the industry.
I like him. He's the bees knees. He would totally understand that reference.
Bad dental work hits home so hard with me. It’s so debilitating. Completely drains you. Poor guy.
This fellow is simply precious. i just wanna hug him. Darling
This was very well done, im glad he is finding his own way through the RUclips stuff, sometimes his videos are recommended and they aren't bad to watch. Sometimes you just got to do what you love to do no matter who tries to talk bad about you.
People who act like that are just pitiful. Imagine saying he was like Elliot Rodger? Cruel and trashy=nothing.
@@justkiddin84 Yeah especially given what Elliot Roger did and how selfish and weird he was. Reviewbrah is just a quirky guy who likes old suits and food reviews I think hes very pleasant to watch.
Palette cleanse content, I enjoy it without feeling some type of way. Pure enjoyment without the side effects.
I've been subbed to him for years. Can you imagine FB taking lessons from him on etiquette 😮 Great job on this video 😊
My 16 year old son dresses the same way. Has always been an individual who is interested in the vintage suits, just like this guy.
Omg, a RUclipsr who actually had a parent, be a good parent?! 🤯 He’s so wholesome, I hope he is never involved in any insane mess 🤞
SN: I can’t see him dressing any other way, he was born to dress like that ☺️
I find him so calming and pleasant that sometimes when I have insomnia I put his videos on to help me relax. I don't even eat fast food, I just watch him for his delightful ambiance.
The world needs more Reviewbrahs (and fewer Foodie Beauties).
And James C’s
And Nikocado.
Now THAT'S an apology & THAT'S a real 100k plaque!
(If you know, you know)
Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Y'know, its nice to see a feature on a genuinely good influencer :)
I love the pivot from Gorl World to Reviewbrah. Such a great dude.
I like his channels/series. John is a little slice of wholesome in the cesspit known as the internet.
Excellent comment! Yes, he is! ❤️
The portraits of him were amazing! I even loved the simple pencil drawing of him on the couch. It must be so hard to try and not be bothered by all the grotty negative people. He's honest, inoffensive and wholesome. Love his accent too
This is so sad. He’s adorable. People can be so cruel.
Never knew this guy's story (especially the trials & tribulations) although I did see him on Tosh. I'm actually surprised to hear that he struggled so much woth trolls because he was BY FAR the most self-aware subject of those features when he'd have memes or cows (we didn't have that word then) on to tease them a little but also give them some space to be funny or likeable. Tosh was good at finding where the people were at and would tailor the bit to their strengths or idiosyncrasies. If the person was a disaster, Tosh would play straight. If they were self-aware or at least fancied themselves entertainers, they would. This guy was the best straight man ever on the show. I guess he's really come a long way during his time on the Internet!
This was so wonderfully done and heartwarming, thank you Mr. Snowflake.
What a sweet young man! Love his old style noir content & NY accent is spot on!! 🎉 Sending all the best to John & his YT channel!! Cheers! 🎉
I’ve never heard of him! Thank you! I’m liking him. His taste is very unusual for someone his age. Very refreshing!
Im autistic and love his channel, i dont know if he is or isnt, but i can see why people would think he was, honestly purely because hes just openly himself even if that is unusual to others. I wish it didn't have such a negative connotation to others and to him because even if he was, there's nothing wrong with that! People just see people who are different and say it's autism and use that to be derogatory to that person and to people with autism and it makes me sad, we're not a catch all term for 'people it's okay to make fun of' it's so annoying! Who cares if he is, he's the only one who needs to know that and it doesn't justify people treating him poorly if he is or if he isn't.
Its surprising to see his early comments clapping back at people, but he was so young and being attacked so much for such innocent stuff i can hardly blame him, its just unusual to see him not composed.
I'm glad he got his channel back and continued. He seems much more comfortable with his audience, he doesnt really interact very much and think thats for the best as there are lots of nice genuine people, but there are so many mean people making weird comments giving weird faux compliments that theyre hoping he'll read and not realise its making fun. He doesnt seem to entertain it these days though.
I cant beleive people were going as far as saying he would be the next elliot rogers, just becauee hes a little different. Just because he wears a suit and speaks in a formal manor.
Hes really done nothing wrong at all, and people are so cruel to him, hes not even THAT weird, he literally just wears older clothes and had a formal/almost transatlantic accent, thats IT. Thats all he does and people are so cruel about it. It baffles me.
auDHD & also really like his channel 😁 spend so much time in neurodivergent-positive spaces almost forget how some strangely consider the terms to be negative
Poor thing, they couldn't just leave him alone. He was having fun, maybe not everyone's kind of fun, but his fun, and that's all that matters.
Wait what happened?! What'd they do?? 😭
He needs help
Yes being stalked…so horrible!!
@@narutofan4545who needs help??? Not John (reviewBrah) his stalkers need help
@@CherrrrBear no man should act like that. He will never have a wife
I mean, he isn't entirely wrong, people, the majority of them at least, don't want to learn anything new, or learn about past stuff like Short Wave. The fact he dropped from 2000 to 300 views is proof of that.
People suck, this kid has done absolutely nothing wrong to anybody, just wanting to be his true self and share that with others. Good for him for pushing through and proving them wrong. Long live Review Brah.
I remember when he first showed up on misc and he was a sensation lol. Then he came on the forum and started posting himself. Legend!
He’s such an old soul and genuine guy- a rare gem on this platform❤. Negative people are such a waste of skin, I hope karma gets each and every one of them.
He's getting his karma that's why his existence is so mediocre
I really love how in earlier episodes John had the New York attitude and accent. I for one get a lot of joy from this guy and wish him the best.
OmGosh, who is his mom?! He is absolutely a gem! I felt like such a proud momma watching the clips of his first vids! Awww. I've watched a review or two, and I thoroughly enjoyed this vid!
I love Review Brah! There's something about the way he starts his videos and greets his audience that I find very comforting.
1:01:43 😆 black cravat
This is my favorite video of yours so far. I hope he reacts. You’ve made him a proper documentary
That would be amazing
It would be lovely!
This is the first time I've heard of this man, and he seems like a really sweet guy. I also appreciate that his parents did right by him when he was a bit out of hand. He's sort of got Mr. Rodgers vibes.
Mr S I love all of your films but this one ranks among my faves. What a refreshing change to watch such a lovely young man succeed, despite many setbacks. Thank you for a feel good experience 😘❤️
If I was his dad I would smile every time I saw him out of pure pride 😂
I've often wondered if he's putting on a character or if he's in on the joke, but the guy always seems so genuine. I think he's aware of the interest around him, and even knows that some people are watching him for the wrong reasons, but he also feels that most of his audience is more interested the content on how it's intended. I think his fans feed him a lot of support which encourages him to keep being himself... which, isn't really a bad thing? I mean we can laugh at how strange the guy can be sometimes, but we all enjoy seeing how pure and interesting he is. Not only that but he seems happy, he's making others happy, so what's the harm in him being a goof ball?
The ALR audio being sampled in at opportune moments was amazing. 🤣🤣🤣
When I first saw this video and that it was an hour and 22 minutes long, I thought it would hold my attention for maybe 10 minutes but I just hit the 50 minute mark and I am fascinated by this young man’s story. I first started watching his videos on occasion maybe 5 or 6 years ago and I’ve always had a lot of questions about him. This video does a fantastic job of showing us what he’s all about. I’m so glad he’s been able to overcome the negative side of internet fame because he deserves all the success he has achieved.
he's just a time traveler from the 1920s making educational videos for his fellow man who decide to follow him into the unknown.
This man is a national treasure
I've watched his videos on and off over the years and always liked them! My husband is a ham radio operator, started almost exactly the same way as John did. It's good to see him continue to do what he enjoys, in his own unique style.
