When YouTube themselves seem indecisive about cultivating the kind of content they want on their website yet also seemingly promote utter rubbish whilst high quality videos get barely any attention at all, you need someone to deal with the tripe and bring some order. There are many channels and YouTube personalities that are working in this genre, but few are quite as clever or as particular as iDubbbz.
Content Cop is a masterstroke in the world of the YouTube Review genre in that it has consistently called out people's actions with masterful savagery and exceptional success every time. At the same time, it's packaged into an entertaining and well made show that benefits from the clever sketches and skits that iDubbbz does to expand the episodes and all held together with his charming and ever-so-slightly cynical personality.
Not only has he been able to critically breakdown people's videos in almost effortless manner, but iDubbbz has managed to pull off the act of actually predicting how his targets will respond, a talent few others possess.
That could be down to the fact that said targets are usually fairly incompetent, but that is part of this series' genius; the people he targets fall right into his trap and prove all the arguments he makes in his video in their responses (for the most part). It's a brilliant weapon.
There are hundreds of channels that, arguably, deserve to be called out for their rubbish, but Content Cop's are reserved for the ones that require special treatment. It's what you need when the site hosting all this doesn't seem to care about particular members of its own community other than how much revenue they can bring in.
Yet, Content Cop is also very clever in that it's never quite malicious or offensive. It has consistently been harsh and critical, but never to the extent that it just descends into personal insults. It has always been foremost a breakdown of the videos a channel makes or the way a person acts on the website, and by doing that, it gives the series a high moral platform, even if said morals are rather unconventional.
Few people are in such a position as iDubbbz is to make these criticisms of other channels, but he has certainly seized upon this and created a series that is both relevant and necessary whilst also being incredibly entertaining and well made. It's the peak of critical entertainment and stands as one of the most well designed, well made and well delivered series on YouTube of all time.
