Jason McBasonUnrealistic male body standards have caused men to think women are all attracted to hyper-masculine guys with big muscles.

Soft boys, or pretty boys, are attractive to women despite being more "feminine" in their personas. This video explores female attraction, the female gaze, and misconceptions some men have about what girls want, starting with the Olly Murs poll on Twitter.

Amazon books have been flooded with AI generated slop and it's destroying the publishing industry.Cheating Is Romantic! (in movies and TV shows)Jason McBason2025-02-19 | Something Borrowed, The Office, and You've Got Mail. They're all about cheaters. It bothers me that cheating and infidelity are romanticized in movies and TV shows, whether it's an emotional cheating or a full blown affair. Sometimes it's lighter like the Love Actually guy with the cards, the Enchanted characters falling for each other, or more extreme affairs like in The Notebook and Titanic. This commentary video explores this trope in media.

Whether it's the bean soup theory, bird theory, or red string theory. Some of them are psychology theories, some are relationship theories, and some are just bad theories. It has gotten out of hand how on social media, everything is a theory. This commentary explores this topic.People Who Dont Have Any HobbiesJason McBason2025-01-05 | People say no one has hobbies anymore. Is that a problem? Is it boring to not have any hobbies? Does having no hobbies mean you have no personality? Does media consumption count as a hobby? Do people with no hobbies need to get hobbies in order to be interesting to other people?

The depravity of r/NiceGuys is horrible. It's a subreddit showing cringe entitled "Nice Guys" who can't stop terrorizing women online. Are Nice Guys worse than ever? Thanks to Reddit we can all see endless examples of men and incels expecting romance from women and girls just because they are nice, and complaining that they're in the friend zone.

The overconsumption and consumption-core have become a crisis taking over TikTok. Hyperconsumerism is causing influencers to promote unnecessary purchases and useless items leading to waste. Restocking kitchen, guest room restocks, guest bathroom restocks, Stanley tumblers... Will the consumerism ever stop? Maybe it's time to say I refuse to buy it.CoffeeTok Is the New WaterTokJason McBason2024-10-20 | CoffeeTok is getting ridiculous. Coffee Tok is a diabolical TikTok community transformed by the liquid sugar craze, much like the strange Watertok community. On one side are insane coffee orders from Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks with barely any coffee in them and massive amounts of sugar and calories, and on the other side are people engaging in overconsumption and wasting coffee and food for clout.BookTok Has Shocked Me to the CoreJason McBason2024-10-10 | Go to buyraycon.com/mcbason for 20-50% off sitewide!

Booktok is still disturbing and terrifying, and probably getting worse. This commentary looks at how the freaky world of Booktok and dark romance has taken over the TikTok book community.

Driving sucks. Car culture sucks. Needing a car, being car-poor, traffic, driving in general. It's all bad And bad driving has become normalized. This commentary is a rant about car-dependence, car culture, and how annoying it is to need a car rather than being car-free. Car-centric places are dangerous and stressful. But it is possible to have walkable cities with mass transit designed for pedestrians, cyclists who want to bike, and public transportation.

So this video is an appreciation of cats.Deformed Dog Breeds That Should Go ExtinctJason McBason2024-03-03 | Dog breed deformities and how humans ruined dogs through selective breeding. Has it gone so far that it should be illegal? It's clear that dog breeders have gone too far and need to stop, and especially Instagram dog breeders need to stop, as we look at dog breeds then and now. Whether it be the exotic bully's scariness, the pug's hideous appearance and health issues, the chihuahua's anger and general evilness, or the bulldog's everything, it's clear that humans have gone too far with dog breeding. Purebreds or pedigree dogs... whatever you want to call it.The Most Controversial Arthur Episode - Did D.W. Deserve to Be Punched?Jason McBason2024-02-05 | Commentary on Arthur's Big Hit, the controversial punch episode where Arthur punches DW, his sister. How did PBS Kids air this episode? Are Arthur's parents just the worst? Did DW deserve to be hit? Many memes (Arthur's fist) have been made from this cartoon, and being one of Arthur's darkest episodes, it's also caused much controversy and debate.
Was Arthur right to do it? Are his parents at fault? Were Binky's actions necessary?

The movie stars Mario Lopez, Joey Diaz, Dean Cain, and Gary Valentine who is Not Kevin James. It's about a dog named Zeus who defends his new family's house from two burglars. This is my reaction to this bad, low-budget Christmas movie.

Watch me react to and debunk (sort of) fake ghost videos from both TikTok and YouTube that include poltergeists throwing objects around, cabinets and drawers opening on their own, doors opening on their own, creepy sounds, and more. A great video for the Halloween season!
#commentaryWhy Grimace Is the Worst Food MascotJason McBason2023-08-22 | Commentary on whether Grimace is the worst food mascot character of all time. I also explore cereal mascots like Lucky the leprechaun from Lucky Charms, and how he's the most messed up cereal mascot because he's an Irish immigrant being chased by kids who steal his belongings. There are plenty of mascots to consider, including the other McDonald's characters like the Hamburglar, Birdie, and Ronald McDonald. I also take a trip back to the 90s to reminisce about Cool Spot. These are just some of the food and drink mascots that I measure against my patented 5 Dimensions of Badness rating system.

All of that in more in this newest edition of Talkin' Topics'

It's about Princess Lena and her pet dolphin Vink.The Hunchback of Notre Dame has the WORST endingJason McBason2023-04-07 | Reaction/commentary on the Disney Hunchback of Notre Dame film, which seems to have a terrible unintentional message hidden inside its narrative. Quasimodo suffers a terrible life with a terrible deformity and raised by the villain Frollo, until he falls in love with the beautiful Esmeralda, but Esmeralda is in love with a handsome knight named Phoebus. Esmeralda, rather than realizing that true beauty is on the inside, simply continues to be in love with Phoebus and Quasimodo is supposed to just deal with it.
