Lost in the Pond. A funny and touching look at ourselves.

Lost in the Pond




And now for something completely different. 

   This channel is not about technology, tools, airplanes, history, or cats. This channel is about being an American. It is a mirror that we can stare at ourselves in and laugh. 
   The creator of this channel is a gentleman from England that moved to the US around 10 years ago with his American wife. He moved not to a big city on the coast but to the midwest. This is about all the things he loves about America and the things he finds really odd. It is a fun look at ourselves through someone else's eyes. 
   If you are not from the United States it is a great way to find out more about the United States. I am sure that many people think that they know all about the US from movies and TV but imagine what we would think of the UK if we based it on Harry Potter, Bennie Hill, and Mr. Bean. 

Scorecard

The Rating uses G, PG, PG-13, and R while the other categories use A for the best that I know of, B for good but others might be better, C is average, D below average, and F is just terrible. 
  • Rating G I have not seen every video but the ones I have seen have been profanity-free with a few beeped out words.  While small children may not get the humor you will not have to turn it off in a hurry if they walk into the room.
  •  Quality B  Production quality is good, It is mostly talking headshot but he is actually a pretty good presenter. I could see him as a good stand up act. 
  • Community B The communities on YouTube Channels are often terrible but this one seems fine. I have not looked a lot into the comments to be honest because it is just pure entertainment to me. 
  • Depth A It is as deep as it needs to be. The creator does research a bit on the subjects that need it. Again this is just a fun channel and not really a how-to or Nerd war channel. It is educational but in a fun way. No test will be given at the end of the videos. 
  • Overall A  It is fun and enlightening all at the same time. Just watch it.
