[@rinaldus4512]

These are by far the most positive comments we will ever see for an episode of Man Ups.

[@Richie_Godsil]

Nothing but beauty bois down here!

[@timytimeerased]

This always saddened me how they had both negative comments and pretty low views on youtube in the GT days. This show is just the funniest and probably smartest show on the videogame industry news I've ever seen. But the jokes would probably fly over someone who doesn't follow videogame news and personnalities : )

[@DarshUK1]

Damn straight, I expect this is because there were a bunch of viewers that liked this content but never commented (some just don’t engage in the comment section which is fine) so you only hear from the people who passionately disliked it. But now it’s back, all the fans who didn’t comment originally are like “oh snap I loved this before”. It’s important to remember the comments section is like 10-20% of all viewers The other 80% could be made up of fans who don’t see the point of writing “brilliant content!” On each video, because they assume their ‘viewing the video’ indicates they liked it.

[@KerstinMamma]

So this is how addicts feel when they get a good fix after years away.

Wow.. Mandatory Update was what got me onto GT and seeing this blew my mind. My eyes finally teared up when I heard the final "Turtledoves". I remember when ManUp got dislikes from people with too many sticks up their bumbums and seeing now that Easy Update is one of the most popular segments on the show it's an amazing redemption for Ian, especially seeing how people are recognizing his talent. Great job and always keep up the great work.
