Veritasium is like that for me. No clue why.

    Vsauce is like that for me. Ever since he tricked people into believing they had actually mutilated and killed people with a train for an experiment possibly giving them real ptsd...

    Vsauce for me as well, I like veritasium, because I feel like the questions being asked/answered are legitimately interesting questions/answers. With Vsauce I feel like the whole thing is just about him constructing unnecessarily "out of the box" answers in order to look smart.

    For me it's that he likes to go around asking people physics questions that he knows they will fail to answer correctly, only to smugly explain how they're wrong.

    It's like those videos where they ask Americans to point to countries on a map so we can laugh at how bad they are at geography... if it was made by Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. Thing is I usually know the answers to the questions so I get a kind of second-hand shame because I would totally feel like an arrogant prick if I did people dirty like that.
