Leaving the YouTube Bubble

Feb 27, 2020
Hey kid, Lily sings the talk show is bad, the jokes aren't funny, but the way she delivers it makes it even worse. What did the rock say to the flower? Okay, bloomers, skinny jeans, favorite jeans, mom jeans sounds like a genuine dope, zon, the segment seemed half-baked. and are often more confusing than fun. I'm going to read you an old school definition, okay, and a different new school definition of popular slang terms and it's your job to guess the word and write it down as quickly as you can. on the right track of the task, that's right and the entire show is set within the parameters of an outdated format that they haven't tried to modernize, it's a train wreck that I just can't look away from, but it's also What It doesn't surprise me at all, I knew almost immediately that this was going to be bad.

I think it was a girl who was having her own NBC late into the night, that's when I did it because I'd known Lily and had her content for a long time. for a long time and Lilly Singh is not a comedian, let me explain. Lily is hugely successful, has almost 15 million subscribers on YouTube, has been on Forbes' top 10 list, has her own company, wrote a book, and is the first woman of color to host her own late-night network show , which is fantastic, it's great that we're making that kind of progress better late than never. I just wish she was good at it so I didn't have to make this video so yeah I've been following her. the saga as closely as I allowed myself to update them.

More Interesting Facts About,

leaving the youtube bubble...

The September 16 pilot is already a disaster. I'm very confident and proud of our first episode, I mean, of all of that, there were several reasons why Lily was immediately met with backlash. but mostly it was because she seemed determined to try to figure out how many ways she could retell Jo's same monologue about how she's not a white man, a song about how she's not a white man, a skit about how she's not a white man. about how she's not a white man sketch about how she's not oh I'm starting to think Lily might not be, no I understand that as a straight white man it's not really my place to say these things and if I were the unique If someone criticized her like this, then the problem would fall more on me than on Lily.

However, this sentiment isn't so much coming from me as it is me echoing what I've seen in the top comments on these women of color videos, so don't take my word for it, take it from them. My point of view is simply from a comedic angle. Using the same joke over and over again shows a lack of creativity. This is the same reason why many people tend not to do it. like Amy Schumer because there's very little variety in her material and it gets stale quickly, luckily the other reason people don't like her is because she's also a notorious joke thief, so as long as Lily doesn't do it, keep going go ahead with the program. rocky start, it seemed like after a while some things started to change, although not necessarily for the better, it seemed like NBC might have chimed in with some notes specifically about how the audience doesn't laugh enough because suddenly, The monologues went from sounding So to this one that sometimes gets stuck in the crack of my butt.
leaving the youtube bubble
I swear it sounds like they were throwing in fake laughs during post-production or started instructing the audience to be louder even if they weren't. justified, this actually leads to one of my many fundamental problems with the show: the audience is so uncomfortable watching any of the studio segments which, by the way, is the majority of the show because the crowd goes crazy for every word that is said. She says because I remember. The first time I told my friends I was vegetarian I was very distracted because there is almost nothing authentic about these reactions. Sometimes they don't even laugh at the jokes, they laugh at the montages of the jokes, but I'm freezing.
You're laughing? She hasn't said the funny part yet. The only vegetable she would eat is maybe a tomato. Okay, if that tomato was crushed and spread on some bread, it might have a little cheese on there. You're just laughing. The whole time she's talking I get why they're probably directing the crowd to amplify it on camera, most of the jokes just aren't that good, so if they're just going to laugh at things that are really funny, it would be uncomfortably quiet most of the time, but also have you ever watched any other talk shows, not just late night shows?
Ellen Jerry Springer dr. Phil, there are hundreds of people in these rooms, for some reason, I'll assume it's budgetary reasons. NBC decided they only needed about 25 people for this show. At that point, you're almost better off not having an audience because then there would be no expectation of audible laughter. but instead they have to compensate for how small the crowd is by instructing them to be abnormally over the top with their reactions and it's very strange nowadays, you just know he's a creep if he's still hanging out and AOL challenges, there are times when the words don't. the crowd and instead the editing team who did a terrible job of trying to sneak fake laughter into the show without it being obvious, take this clip for example where they reuse the same sound twice, an appropriate response would be to laugh or comment haha, something inappropriate. the answer would be to slide into my DMS and comment on something funny it might be more engaging it's such a distinctive laugh how did you think this would go unnoticed? is so atrociously bad, on top of these viewership issues, the show itself is so overwritten that it leaves no room for authenticity, the core of this show should be the celebrity interviews, it should be almost impossible to screw them up and yet, They did it because the questions are so meticulously planned and tightly structured that there is no room for jokes or genuine moments.
Everything Lily says in response to the guests leads so carefully into the next pre-planned question that it's just not fun to walk through. You can see on the faces of the guests that they aren't having a good time, although in Lily's defense this is generally a problem. On most late night talk shows, celebrities are always on these shows to promote something, so it's inevitable that the conversation will go there, but at least with other shows like Conan or Seth Meyers, even Jimmy Fallon, it's feels a little more conversational. maybe they're following vignettes rather than a verbatim script, and the appeal of these late-night talk shows is seeing the celebrities you like in a natural habitat where they're simply themselves telling a story, no matter what they do.
One poorly written bit that her writing stack came up with a perfect example of what I'm talking about was this episode with Jenny Slate and Kathryn Hahn and the interview segment was really great. Jenny Slate is very funny and she was able to tell a story. and Lily didn't interrupt too much, it was fun. I would have liked to see ten more minutes of this, but instead they came back from commercials and made this almost 7 minute long game I guess where they don't talk to each other anymore. it's just Lily holding up pictures and reading some dumb joke from the cue cards and then they're like oh I don't understand why you can't just talk to them for 15 minutes, why can't that be what this show stands for?
They're three comedians, so be funny, talk to each other, be natural, it'll be fun, why does every segment of the show have to rely on a lazily written script? The worst case of an overly scripted segment was this Halloween phone call. with Hassan Minaj, as you can see, she's dressed like him and as you can probably guess she's going to call him, we should call him, yeah, she has no idea, okay, this is all written. Lily Lily, stop, and not only is it all scripted, but The main joke of the script is that she just repeats everything he says, like what a boy does to annoy her brothers.
This is a really awesome joke because I'm NOT one. Wouldn't it have been better if you, I don't know, really surprised him? Wouldn't it have been more entertaining? Why do a segment like this if you know it has to be a pre-recorded video where the punchlines were written for children? Oh hey, a transition. Remember earlier when I said that Lilly Singh likes the comedian. What I'm talking about, as you review her most viewed YouTube videos, you begin to understand why many of the jokes on her show seem to be aimed at children. I think we can make this more relatable with the title because she has always directed her jokes at kids like she used to do skits about parents and school and parents and school, she carved out a niche for herself on YouTube doing edgy humor for kids. , which is fine, I guess doing it on the Internet if that's your thing, but now he's hosting a talk show. that sounds like 1:35 in the morning I just don't understand it, that's why I will never understand why a YouTuber, a successful YouTuber, would want to leave a job where you can basically do whatever you want and you're in debt.
No one can make the type of content you want to make to go from that to network television, the strictest creative medium that exists. Wow, and if you're Lilly, why stray so far from the content you've proven you're capable of? she made you do shallow observational humor for kids and now you're hosting a talk show it just doesn't make sense it seems like she set herself up to fail why did she think she could do this oh I know why it's because YouTubers think they can do anything If I had to choose a job where the people who do the work have the biggest egos in the world, they would undoubtedly be YouTubers and I include myself in that.
I'm guilty of this too. There may be no greater feeling for a YouTuber than uploading a video, seeing that it's doing well, seeing a ton of comments that are mostly positive, maybe even getting a random text from another YouTuber whose opinion you respect saying "great." video". I like it, thanks Wow, and it goes right to your head and you feel like the coolest, funniest, smartest person in the world and it's a great feeling, it really is, but it also blinds you to reality. You are never as good as overly positive comments will make you. You seem and are never as bad as the negative comments make you seem, but it's important not to absorb that and let that influence how you feel about yourself, even if it's good feedback, it's important not to assume that and just have an ego that shoots up I imagine this is probably what Lilly Singh experienced for a long time over several years.
She made videos that were mostly received very positively by many people. She was able to read thousands of comments from child fans she doesn't know. what a comedy it is still, but she could look at them and say wow, I'm so talented and funny, people love me, I could do anything and now she left the comfort of that you to

and threw herself to the wolves and I think maybe by the The first time it suddenly hits her, oh my God, maybe I'm not as funny as she thought her entire career. Millions of people have told her, Lilly, you're so funny, you're perfect, and I think there's a chance that that drove her.
Confidence a little too much I think ego management is something that many YouTubers struggle with. It's an important part of the job. Filter out large amounts of overly positive comments without letting it go to your head. I know it's a bit complicated for me. cycle like, generally, my best creative efforts happen when I'm a little down on myself, like maybe my last video didn't do very well or I'm just not feeling very funny right now, so I suddenly have the urge to Show people that you know. I'm fun, so I work even harder. It inspires me to stay up all night editing something and often that extra effort leads to a video that is well received and I get all those great positive comments again and I start buying it and I feel really good about myself and then all of a sudden, I lose the desire to work so hard and just play video games for four days straight until I feel good about myself again and the cycle continues, this is how my ego usually manifests itself and I think for many

rs something similar happens to them, when in the peak of their ego they are at their worst and at the same time they feel invincible, that's why Logan Paul during the peak of his relevance probably thought he would never be able to lift me up and then he did and it was like a big surprise for him.
I think there was no way YouTube was going to prepare Lilly for the storm of hate she's been receiving and now she's in self-defense mode. Lilly strikes me as the type of person who, when her abilities are questioned, resorts to bragging. about her achievements to validate herself against her detractors, don't believe me, here is a compilation of that. I always thought that at 30 she would be married, she would have some kids and live in a mansion, don't you think getting a mansion would be the easiest? thing on that list, in fact I justchanging my Instagram account to act like Lilly, that's how I'm famous.
Maya is invite-only, meaning everyone in it is a celebrity or incredibly beautiful person. They invited me and in the last decade. I have gained around 15 million subscribers. I have written a book and you have also written many. I have written a book. I know it's hard to write a book. It is very difficult. He can leave his family and come live with me in my house. I have a lot of money, no other talk show host or comedian would even think of talking like that because he sounds so pompous that he turns people against you. Can you imagine Conan going out and doing a monologue like the boys tonight?
I just want to talk a little. a little bit about how rich I am and I'm better than you and I'm very tall and I'm rich I'll be crying when I take him away from his parents' house in my test well, no one wants Listening to people brag about how much money they make is not funny at all nor relatable, but Lilly is facing more backlash right now than ever, so her instinct is to combat that by saying things like guys, I'm actually pretty successful and it really shows. Some good shows have 100% new ratings from critics Kenny, I don't know if you saw it, but Emily, you know Emily on cosmopolitan, she said this show is actually pretty good, so I don't know why you don't like it, I mean .
We all know that ten critic ratings are more important than more than a thousand user ratings that say the opposite. There is another myth here too. Lanius complains about his program. She has a segment called gift baskets where she basically takes some people who have made a mistake. somehow and she fills them with a basket with a bunch of bad jokes and it's a really good idea for a segment, but after watching them all I realized how often the punchline is just a small penis, the Golden Snitch is of a game in Harry. Potter and are the smallest balls in the game.
I got the travel size because I can't imagine your little penis needs more than that. You have a team of professional writers and this is the best they could find. with or here's another joke I really enjoyed about producer Todd Phillips, she spitefully points out that the first movie he directed has a bad rotten tomatoes score. I found this especially ironic given that the movie she's criticizing has a higher ratings than her. own show now, that's funny, I will say a part of me empathizes with her, she's obviously trying really hard to make this work. I think she is lost.
She recently blogged about a day in the life of her as a talk show host. and oh my god I got stressed just watching it, those are the details of a standard like 2pm or a work day where you are filming two shows going through constant makeup and wardrobe changes, you are filming other parts for the show , she's managing a large staff of people who are all looking to her for direction and it's clearly starting to wear her down a lot of this if I'm a little with you all if this is a lot it's like a lot to learn I'm always tired of everything what I experienced previously in I feel like my life has increased tenfold, you know, before there were three people making videos about me online, now there are a hundred people making videos about me online that are bad.
I feel like at this point maybe she's not in denial anymore. the program and she knows it's not very good but she's also stuck in it, we're going to do this, we're committed to this, this program needs big radical changes to improve, but there's no time to do it because they're already in the middle of making some 90 episodes, so if what they need is new writers or a bigger studio, they can't stop and do anything about it right now because they're too busy drowning themselves trying to do it. The best thing about what they have is also a case where they have shows that air in December in January that they filmed in August, so even if they are trying to adapt this show, they can't retroactively change something that has already been written . in movies, except adding more laughs, which is why patience is so important when it comes to late night talk shows.
Very rarely are they a finished product overnight. I remember when Seth Meyers started his show, he did what all the other late night hosts did. and he came out and gave a monologue and it was kind of weird because everyone knew him from this and now he's doing this and he just wasn't very good at this and you know what they did, they stopped doing it and they adapted the show, they put it back behind a desktop, they used graphics to enhance their punchlines and now it's much more comfortable to watch because they tailored the show to fit the host's strengths and this is what desperately needs to happen a little late with Lilly.
Singh is currently just doing a condensed version of all the other late night shows, so don't change the format, make it your own. Monologues are not her strong points, which makes sense because she has no experience in stand-up, so it's not inconceivable that she wouldn't be a natural in this environment, but if that's the case, then don't do a traditional monologue, such Maybe the interviews could be longer and a little more relaxed so it doesn't seem like Mindy Kaling is being held hostage. Also, while I respect his decision not to talk politics on his show, avoiding all current events makes the show useless, like whether or not you agree with the politics of someone like Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert, there's still a reason for people to watch these shows because they cover topics that are relevant to millions of people.
Lilly Singh is doing five-minute monologues about how her hair is long. How do you expect people to tune in and care about that? I mean, they clearly don't care. no one is watching the show. One of the only times I saw her trying to do something topical was when they referenced the OK Boomer meme, but the entire segment was literally just puns, what did the guy say about her questionable medical test results? team of professional tumor writers, two and a half minutes of punning, and to make matters even worse, it didn't even work well. Keep in mind we're talking about someone who has 15 million subscribers on YouTube and most of the clips on our show channel don't even have a hundred thousand views Universally beloved actor Nick Offerman has a secret talent Fourteen thousand views Nick Offerman ago two weeks on the most popular a YouTube show 4 million views It's almost as if you don't need to be on a television network to produce something high. quality content that many people will see and YouTube is a totally valid platform where you can build a loyal audience of followers who support you instead of being exposed to the inevitable criticism from a wide general audience.
It's almost like that because that's how it originally was. I'm going to end the video there, but there's one more thing I want to talk about that I think does a good job of summarizing the points I was trying to make with this video, the most frustrating thing about Lilly and what I think will ultimately lead to to the Downfall of her show is that she can't take criticism since she started her show, there have been a ton of people providing rational criticism, constructive criticism that she just ignores as there are dozens of YouTube videos criticizing her show and they explain not only what's wrong with it but also how it can be improved and their response is imagine posting bad videos on YouTube reviews doesn't mean doesn't mean hello.
I think you could be better if you did this. That's useful. That's how you get better. Yes, many of the comments she receives are not. useful at all, there are people who just say you know women aren't funny, they say they're racist and it's okay to ignore all that because those people are wrong, but you're lumping those kinds of comments in with useful criticism and just ignoring it all. What I've done here is I've collected some positive comments, the reviews are from places like CNN's Deadline Cosmopolitan, decisive, of the Atlantic variety, whereas before there were negative reviews from angry virgins, yes, that's right, if you you dare not like the great Lilly Singh then "You're just an angry edge, the 3000 or so ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB were written by people who have never had sex before and that's why they're so angry, look Lily, I understand It doesn't feel good to receive negative comments, obviously.
You'd rather people tell you that you're great and fun and everything is perfect if it's true, but if there are areas where you can improve and you're not going to be honest enough with yourself to recognize that at least you need people to tell you. around you be honest and tell you how you can improve, otherwise you want to and it's worrying because in that same vlog you said this, everyone is too nice to want to say that they never want to criticize me for anything, it's okay, it's one thing. ignore the comments on the internet, that's fair, but even your staff, your writers, your producers, none of them are criticizing you for anything.
Well, that's a recipe for disaster. Sure, maybe that helps protect your feelings in the short term, but that's how it will be in the long term. the reason your show fails is because you're too stubborn to adapt Lily thinks that because she used to be successful on YouTube I'll remind you by making kids content that she knows better than everyone else and won't value your opinion unless you You're saying something nice about her, weird, why does it sound so familiar? Oh, that's right, well, good luck with your program. Lily, sorry for being mean. I want to say a big thank you to today's sponsor, Ray Khan, for sponsoring this video.
