This bit from the latest video was hilarious. Gary seems disconcerted someone would imagine he was on a date with a man

I hate this dynamic they're trying to create like Danny is a stupid child and Gary is The Adult who rolls his eyes and corrects him or indulges him

Funniest part of the latest video, is, him banging on about that table
(he’s not copying Danny and he’s going to use them) and , anyway,Danny says it’s fine

I was reading comments on YT and he’s saying about those chops.. Think the camera man is in the comments saying they were stinking. .. take them straight back and say they smell off.. Don’t eat some! But he did apparently get food poisoning, and a great “shocker” of a title, so was worth it for the views eh 🫠

I used to like Gary and his videos and still do enjoy the odd couple, back when they were simple, light hearted, checking out some of the good food this country has to offer in both well known and hidden gem establishments (for those I could let the odd fast food chain slide as theyre not somewhere i go anymore so it can be interesting to see current trends). But the descent into rage bait slop is disgusting, manifesting into half the comments on that latest potential food poisoning curry takeaway being racist shit (at the time of writing this they hadn't been removed). The misleading titles and not to mention the stupid shocked or deep in thought thumbnails that've been out of trend for, in social content terms, an age. The pop up table also has to be one of the dumbest gimmicks I've seen in quite some time yet he and danny seem to think its the most original and hilarious bit in decades. It definitely feels like that group who seem to have gravitated together (though Harrison seems to have managed to be intelligent enough to steer clear of what i'll be generous and call bad content decisions) are feeding off eachother and using one anothers ideas in a race to the bottom.

And I know its clearly a winning formulae views wise for him but jesus christ is he going for the Guinness book of records achievement for most fish and chip shops reviewed?! How can you not be bored making the same thing over and over let alone being a viewer. Going back to my point of unoriginality with every single one apparently being either the best or worst in history if the titles are to be believed

Finally, as someone who actually works in the restaurant industry and not someone who as far as I think we've been informed didn't just grow up with parents who owned a pub? (feel free to correct me if more info has been given in a video I've missed) some parts are outright (I think intentionally) dishonest. Specifically when referring to things as 'not worth the money' or 'overpriced' etc (I grant you in some cases eg Salt Bae restaurant this is fair and true). I say intentionally dishonest because in some videos he acknowledges costs of rent, running, wages, quality of produce etc but in others its ignored entirely i presume to get the reaction of a lot of people who don't think about those things with the 'oh i could make that at home for half the money' mindsets. A recent example that comes to mind would be where he's reviewing i believe a hotel cafe that serves 'the most expensive pastries in the country' then comparing it to Greggs, without any consideration of location, atmosphere, the experience of a highly trained brigade of patissiers, the high quality ingredients vs takeaway, made by a machine, frozen, with the cheapest ingredients possible to keep margins high, Greggs. The industry especially now needs much better ambassadors, not people/wannabe influencers slagging it off.

Without too much stretch of the imagination in Garry's very formulaic shtick: 'has he got too big for his boots? I'll let you decide. Buh bye' *walks off muttering to myself into the distance while trying to dodge people and/or traffic*

This just reminded me he's done it a few times now and its so cringey. Peoples struggles are not your content. Good for you if you're in a position to help and do so but you definitely dont need to show off your saviourism and as has been mentioned a few times 'ambush' people

He's probably joined the same agency as Hannah Ricketts.
She's also gone down the same rage bait route with the hotel reviews.
It might explain those strange London vlogs where they all met up.
It pays well until he gets bopped.

I did wonder if it was an agency behind it but beyond me what good reason he'd have for joining one, cant imagine they'd do much for him than he already does, potentially how he got the book deal? Hannah however I can see being the sort of person to think its the done thing and going down that route

He has some weird superiority complex that's becoming more and more evident. They way he talked to his son was the starter.

Once a YouTuber get 1000 subscribers, they can monetise their channel. So he has probably been earning money for ages.
