He invites his landlord to comment, his parents, he gives random strangers ukelele lessons to be petty, teaches his gf to play beverly hills (adorbs), dunkin donuts placement on point and to top it all off hes got a cousin named Mike. I would also wager a guess to say this man has ADHD from the way he makes his arguments, but his tangents always come to a cogent point if you give him time.

[@EvolveProgress]

Somehow Pat has managed to create a music oriented channel in 2021 that feels fresh and original. Bravo. The musically-themed personality-driven comical self-aware-but-not-pretentious indie-sketch vibe is great. It's entertaining, endearing and leaks nostalgia all over the place.....its, like, we're friends now....aren't we, Pat _??_ *????*

[@youngmike8645]

I thought that I was the only one annoyed by the stupid looks on peoples thumbnails. I like Beato, used to really enjoy his channel but my interest has since Weaned. For whatever reason Rhet Shaul’s existence alone annoys me. Tried to give him a chance (first found out about him from Beatos’ channel) but something about him and his pleasure that he finds in the aroma of his own Flatulence annoys and rubs me the wrong way. Also the KZbin guitarists that strum a chord and swirl around the headstock in circular attempts of over portrayal of emotions. So exaggerated and it doesn’t feel genuine. I’m burned out on on guitar channels with the exception of my man Pat making me laugh and bring up sound points on why songs he selects stink. Love the mockery of all the big KZbinrs that I have grown tired of. Thank you Pat for helping to pull me out of this rut, been dark but I think I see a candle in the distance.

The Dani California video was my intro to this channel. I watched the Stink episodes in order and after laughing my ass off for three episodes I finally subscribed during the Beverly Hills vid. This channel is next level hilarious.

I had to play "Marry Me" during a wedding ceremony 10 years ago and from having had to learn it, it holds a special place in my heart as one of the worst songs ever.

I loaded this video just to tell you, that my 5 month old son was in the car screaming his head off, and Hot Stepper came on my playlist and he shut up dry. So hot stepper gets my son to stop crying. Thanks.

[@coda1587]

Dear Mr Finnerty, I appreciate your guerrilla styled work ethic in making these videos. 9 minutes in and youve provided so much interesting content without even talking about one of the worst songs ever. I’m impressed and inspired by your positive, humorous and strangely informative videos. My favorite bit you’ve done is the three blind mice kinda rips. Keep up the great content! Respectfully, Wyatt.

[@stankmedia]

Hey Soul Sister represents everything shitty about life on this planet. It is the soundtrack to going to the dentist, talking to the receptionist at a car dealership, nervously waiting before your job interview at Target. The song combines uninspired instrumentals with rage inducingly stupid lyrics. Cultural appropriation, self fellating lyrics, ukelele, it's all there. A masterclass in cynicism. Great video.

[@LoveProWrestling]

Had not heard it before this video. My luck definitely ran out.

Shout out to Mutt Dog for inspiring Pat to make this the most tangential nonsequiter filled refusing to get to the main point video he's made so far, I feel like this video would have been only half the length without Mutt Dog's advice and we would've missed out on so much quality nonsense, God Bless bro 🤘

[@josephmiller997]

I found myself annoyed at this. It was only much later that I realized it was probably the whole point of the video, and just an extension of the entire musician’s fuck you world view that makes him want to dismember Train to begin with. It’s kind of an inside joke.

Saw you open for Dr. Dog, I think it was Birmingham, and then hung out in the parking lot, you played guitar and sang tons of songs including the entire side 2 of Abbey Road, then Eric Slick got the guitar and played covers. Great show and great memories, these vids are priceless.

[@philmstud2k]

Seeing as Pat kept mentioning "And Your Bird Can Sing" throughout the video, I'm sure the comment was ironic, but for anyone wondering, Revolver was The Beatles' seventh album.

Even though I knew that, it has taken on much more significance after hearing the douchebag from Train saying “NOBODY else, on their seventh album is making their best album”.
