You guys seem to forgot(or not even know) that The Yogscast isn't just Simon and Lewis. You should check out the other Yogscast channels, like YogscastSjin, YogscastSips, and Yogscastlalna. Sjin and Sips are actually really funny. And Duncan(Yogscastlalna) does a really good Tekkit and Yogbox series.
Simon and Lewis(BlueXephos) are only one channel, check out the other Yogscast channels before completely saying "The Yogscast" sucks.[I doubt anyone will actually do that]
But they are only talking about Simon and Lewis, from what I have read.
So they are talking about how Simon and Lewis are bad, not how the others are bad. So the others are off topic, Ipso facto, your post is off topic.
Ummmmm...right? But, if you read the title, it's "WHY IS THE YOGSCAST SO POPULAR", the Yogscast includes BlueXephos(Simon and Lewis) YogscastSjin, YogscastSips, Yogscastlalna, along with a few other channels. Thus, my post is on topic because it's talking about the Yogscast. If it were "Why Is BlueXephos So Popular" or "Why Are Simon and Lewis So Popular" then yes, my post would be off topic, but neither of those are the title of this thread. What's going on in the thread is generalization, which is generally unfair and ignorant.

I watch it sometimes because I find it funny. Other people may not find it funny, and therefor not watch it.
You don't need to type up some gigantic post about how much it sucks donkey ****. It's existence does not affect you.
When you dislike something. It's best to either destroy it (Not an option here.) or ignore it.
So, instead of typing a longass post about how much you are writhing in anger about a mildly entertaining Let's Play channel, do something productive.
Infact. Why post anything on anything. Go outside and practice bear punching. I don't care if it's late. You're typing **** when you could punch a bear in the face!

He asks WHY they are so popular. He is only looking for others opinions and what they think of them. This topic is only so "long" for the reason of he doesn't get WHY they are so popular. This post isn't particularly long either. He didn't ask for a possible Yogscast fanboy to defend them. He is only asking on what others think of them.
They are entertainers, not gaming news or even let's players, really. If you are looking for somebody to give you an informative overview of a mod or Minecraft update, or a tutorial on a map, then don't watch the Yogscast. Watch CaptainSparklez, or even just Yogscastlalna if Tekkit is what you're after. Whether or not you find it funny, their M.O. is to be bad at things. They can't remember recipes, they can't figure out puzzles, and that is why they got popular in the first place. People enjoy watching them bumble around. It's basically just Minecraft-oriented slapstick, down to them whacking each other with sticks.
And part of their shtick is that it is scripted, from their very first Minecraft LP, they had a story introduced that lead into SoI. Is anyone really that surprised or upset that the Tekkit series went the same way?
Lewis has become increasingly irritating as time goes by, but Simon is still rather funny. No, they aren't fantastic and they've got some annoying fans who won't let Diggy Diggy Hole die, but they've still got some appeal, particularly when you include the larger Yogscast network. Sips and Sjin are the only reason I even watch the Tekkit series - though I must admit I prefer their own videos to Simon and Lewis's - and their best videos from recently were the team games, the Golden Crown and Hunger Games kind of maps.
Besides, they still aren't half as annoying as Tobuscus or UberHaxorNova.
I hear that British humor is different from American humor. Maybe that's why. Since they have an extremely strong British audience but some Americans find them annoying.
this i love them. though yogscast... the're not bad but they clog up my inbox with random stuff i only watch some stuff like planetoids and there first like 5 eps of minecraft before it became soi
i liked this guy called caliform but he stopped making videos (this happened twice) he also played mount and blade which i liked
When I learned Caliform was Dutch I was like WTF U HAVE NO ACCENT!

Yogscast is boring, SoI is one of their worst series they have ever done, overrated, unfunny jokes, and I don't like any of the yogscast. I don't like Sjin or Sips or Hannah or Inthelittlewood or anyone.
This really isn't a topic anymore about questioning why Yogscast is so popular, but more like "I hate Yougscast, they suck, yadda yadda", way more of a haters thread really.
People seem to forget it is all about opinion, if you don't like them? Well fine, you don't, that doesn't instantly give you the right to be all hater about it and go along how bad they suck, how massive their ego's are. (apart from a few instances, I really have not seen much ego)
People watch them for a reason, because the Yogscast is, in their opinion, funny.
Now don't go yapping at me that most of the Yogscast fanbase are immature 12 year olds, I personally like the Yogscast and I'm 27, you, the hater, are only really insulting people when you say that the whole fanbase are just underaged teens and people with low IQ,
Are ther idiots in their fanbase? Very much so, but what fanbase does not have idiots? Fans tend to take things far too seriously, insult whatever they are a fan off and they will and insult you like there's no tomorrow. Granted, I'm not saying every fan is like that, but it's a general consensus spread over multiple fanbases (Seriously, just go to a CoD video, tell them it sucks and watch the rage party begin, or another great rage war can be provoked by liking the PS3 over the Xbox 360 and visa versa, people take waaaay too seriously.)
Now, I'm not saying the Yogscast is perfect, they're not, they have their own bad quirks too but so does everyone else really. I like them because in my opinion, they are genuinely funny and you really have to look past just their Minecraft series to see more of how they are. Granted, I also like Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia, who are comediants/entertainers and a lot of people hate them and don't think they're funny, welp, that's their opinion, not mine. It's really no different in this case, it comes down to a matter of taste. Some like them, other's dont, just like one person liking donuts and the other liking bagels instead.
Now I'm pretty sure that, by defending them in a sense, I'll be labeled as yet another fanboy and whatnot, and that my opinion doesn't mean two sh*t, well frankly that is just insulting, cause why would a defending opinion mean less then a hating opinion? Most haters I've seen in this topic have just been downright insulting about the Yogscast, what they do and their fanbase. Don't like them? Fine, but really, don't be an ass about it and respect those who do like them, because in the end it is all a matter of opinion.
I used to like them, but I started to find them boring. Come on people, I came in this page expecting at least a few post about how people can have their own opinions. I guess not.
People have their own opinions, not matter how completely stupid they might seem to you. Why can't you respect those opinions instead of continually bashing them then generalize the audience as 12 year old immature idiots? I understand that some of you are bringing up valid arguments here, but some people just say that they suck and they shouldn't be popular. Why shouldn't they be popular if there are millions of people who like them? I hate sports games, does that mean they should cease to exist?
One person mentioned that they don't like Nova on this page. I like him, he's one of my favorite YouTubers, but you don't see me going on a crusade and starting to completely rant about how his opinion is trash.
The Yogcasts already a pretty popular bunch before people knew what Minecraft was. They were extremely popular already for their World of Warcraft videos, and Minecraft only increased their popularity even more considering they were one of the first people to do it. I was instantly hooked to minecraft the moment their first video of it hit my subscription box.
Generally though, the only time I watch them now is when they are not doing Minecraft vids.

Tobuscus is funny, but doesn't know the game as well as the others. On one episodes he placed bookshelves one block away from the enchantment table and got a Lvl 5 enchant after he beat the Ender Dragon (which he used TMI to spawn arrows because he ran out) and had a lot of exp.
Yogscast is boring, SoI is one of their worst series they have ever done, overrated, unfunny jokes, and I don't like any of the yogscast. I don't like Sjin or Sips or Hannah or Inthelittlewood or anyone.
Inthelittlewood and SoTotallyToby are not that bad, in my opinion. They at least make okay songs.
Duncan/Lalna is the more serious person in the Tekkit series, I think.
Eh, I don't really care too much. I find their videos entertaining, and that's all I need.
If I cared about much anything else, I wouldn't be subscribed to half the people I am.
And I think they don't play Minecraft much anymore because there haven't been many new maps or mods they've been wanting to try.
Also, I think people have been requesting other games.
But they are only talking about Simon and Lewis, from what I have read.
Yeah, and that's why I posted it, to say that "The Yogscast" isn't just Simon and Lewis.

I am ninja'd far too often.
But i HATE sips and Sjin

Anyways, fine, they stage , so what?! If you find it funny, than fine!
No one really seems to complain about Nerd³ , even though some of his stuff could be staged (although I prefer him over Yogscast)
As for personal opinion, they're alright.
Generally though, the only time I watch them now is when they are not doing Minecraft vids.
