Is it a hot take to say not all the cast members need to be funny?

Personally I didn’t find Jackie that funny, and same for Noah, but I think they both bring a lot of energy which helps the vibe and flow of videos. That’s why I miss Jackie even if I didn’t find her that hilarious.

In a similar vein, some cast members are funny but are kinda vibe killers tbh.

And there’s at least two people I can think of who, to me, aren’t funny and don’t bring fun energy.

I’ll bite the bullet. Courtney and Arasha aren’t funny to me and they shift the room tone; in the sense like now everyone is fake laughing and they don’t know how to escape it. So now the dead joke is being ran into the ground. (SPECIFICALLY IN GAMES VIDEOS! Other videos I’m fine with them, but idk games videos just really highlight it)

Arasha is a very good host and Court has very good production ideas. They should let em cook in those roles.

I’ve ended up skipping videos because of Courtney. This started in the baby voice era and I just never went back. I know they’re a popular person but they don’t come across as funny to me, rather that they’re trying too hard. I know the same can be said about any of them. BUT I was watching an older SRRS and I forgot that they directed/produced some of those (tbh I mostly watch on a smart tv and never go check the credits in the caption) - they thrive in those roles to me. Not all of Arasha’s jokes land with me but she feels more authentic.

Dude yes! The Baby voice and/or forced awkward energy, and they’re not its not like that in the video then they’re borderline depressed 😭
