Ray William Johnson. Yay or Nay?

Ray William Johnson has over 5 million subscribers and over 1.9 billion video views on YouTube. The question is: why? They’re just offensive jokes coming from a 31-yearold with an inability to filter his thoughts. He typically just reviews “funny” videos such as people falling through trampolines or drunkenly singing on glass tables only to go crashing through. He then spits out obnoxious, snide comments.

The jokes Johnson tells are on highly sensitive subjects. Religion, sexuality, race and other touchy topics tend to be the punch lines. Poking fun at them doesn’t actually make a good video. I just don’t get the appeal of watching a man who knows better than to act and talk like a immature teenager. Johnson’s videos are definitely not worth the time people spend watching them.
