Ok critic, cannot stand his voice and accent.


Is he trying to sound drunk?
Or Scottish or something?

He should really DROP THE ACT and just speak normally.
And stop sounding so dramatic.

His criticism is often spot on, but his acting is grating, superfluous and distracting.

reply

He is Scottish so I don't think he can change his accent.

As far as the drunk part. I have no idea😃

reply

His icon is him pounding some booze and his name has drinker in it so I assume he is drunk.

reply

He probably likes a drink, if you've ever been to Scotland you'll understand, but he's basically playing a character.

reply

Agreed. and I generally find it amusing.

reply

he sound like he has been holding in a shit for 2 months.

reply

That is quite the accurate description.

reply

yes however good his review are i just cant last long with his voices. horrible!

reply

If you watch his older stuff you'll notice that he actually speaks normally but at some point, he started "performing" with this exaggerated drunken Scotsman/Scottish Mr. Plinkett voice in all of his videos as part of his gimmick. Personally, I never cared or it.

reply

All the more reasons why he should drop the act and speak normally.

reply

He talks normal on his livestreams. It's those scripted videos where he talks in an exaggerated drunk Scottish accent. I can't stand it either and will skip his videos unless it's something I really want to hear about. It's ridiculous and it always seems like he's about to do drunken hiccups at any time.

reply

His critiques are not that good and come from a premise of being politically slanted. Being Anti-Woke makes you a joke, not rich nor successful.

reply

I hate woke or anti woke stances.
His criticism seems fair, not slanted.

How else would you describe the nth show that forces quotas/themes in its story just to check a political agenda?

reply

the real trick is working out if it has been "forced"

reply

Racist.

I haven't listened to him in years. He's like that one Australian crocodile guy Steve Irwin who played up the cartoony Australian for American audiences. Drinker does the same thing. I just can't take his fake exaggerated drunken slurred speech. Drinker's takes aren't even that good.

By the way, isn't that bottle of Jack Daniels that he has to his lips still have the cap on. It's a good example of his fakeness. He probably doesn't even believe in all the stuff he says, too.
