#SantagatoTV
Joe Santagato is a young adult male who posts videos on his Youtube account on a weekly basis. This videos contain his opinion / advice on how he has dealt / would deal with the various life situations that adolescents are bound to come across, like going to the dentist, or, in the case of this video, what to do on your first date. Sometimes, he even goes off on rants about such topics including how and why he misses the 90s. Since I started watching him, I’ve grown to greatly enjoy his videos. He is very opinionated and “out there.” He is not afraid to speak his mind about such things and even recounts personal anecdotes and shows video coverage of his experiences with such things. Joe is one of few people to still believe in the constitutional right to freedom of speech and actively use it to his liking, as evidenced by his use of colorful language that may otherwise offend the ultra sensitive people that are definitely out there. This video is a particular favorite of mine because he gives advice of what to do on the first date from the point of view of a nervous and awkward guy who would otherwise not know how to behave or what to do with his date. Joe goes above and beyond in his attempts to survey some wisdom to his audience by actively explaining and describing what a potential boyfriend / girlfriend likes and dislikes about his / her date and what they are looking for. As if that weren’t enough, he provides his viewers with a visual medium in the form of video coverage of how his advice applies to real life situations so that awkward adolescent boys will know what to do and what not to do when they are on a date with someone they like. With these kinds of explanations, one would not be surprised to discover that he has helped out many perplexed and clumsy boys who are just trying to get some love and happiness of their own.
One response so far
I am such a huge fan of all of Joe’s videos! I completely agree that he is definitely one of the few people out there not afraid to speak his mind and I think that’s what I love move about his videos. He is 100% relatable to a large majority of the adolescent population both male and female and I think that’s what makes him so popular. He’s basically voices what most people wouldn’t ever dare to say and I love it. The only thing that makes me a little sad about the Santagato phenomena is that recently he started selling t shirts which personally made me a little sad because it almost feels like now he just wants to make a profit of his videos instead of just making them for fun.
