I found the 1970s equivalent to those pictures of guys with their answers to OKCupid (?) profile questions superimposed over them.

Some of these are amusing, some of them are cringy, some of them are Oliver Reed and at least one of them turned out to be a paedophile.

Probably not a joke.
100% of all these "enlightened gentlemen" are complete idiots.
They think that putting on a cheap suit and hat and consuming obscure media makes them intellectually superior.

It's seldom that obscure, though, is it? It's usually fairly mainstream stuff, but they resent its mainstream status because it means they have to share it with WOMEN and BLACK PEOPLE and YOUNG CHILDREN, isn't it?

Does anyone have that image of this guy in his 30s whinging about how annoyed he was about the nine-year olds in the cinema when he went to see Avengers because they couldn't appreciate it on as many levels as he did?

You're absolutely right.
In my experience it's media that is one notch away from broad mainstream.
Like one of these ding dongs thinking they are enlightened because they have seen Cowboy Beebop or FLCL; media that is old hat for the rest of us.

If their beliefs were true then I would be president because I bought a VHS copy of Armitage for $40 before you could get it in the US.

If it isn't some not-quite-mainstream anime thing, it's some cartoon for small children that's been hijacked.

Now that you mention it I'm not sure he was even drinking. Maybe. I tuned a lot of it out. One thing I didn't tune out was he liked to show Land Before Time and Rugrats porn to people though.

Would you say it's a fair assessment that he'd be an insufferably "stand back or you'll cut yourself on all my edges" smuglord even if he wasn't a far-right white supremacist headcase?

I've seen this one before and another one where it's a guy wearing a gigantic giraffe head mounted on a bicycle helmet. It looks incredibly uncomfortable; probably wrecks your back.

Does anybody remember the one where a guy had set up a lair with about eight computer monitors stacked on top of one another in his basement with all these wires and cables hanging off the back, and then there was this big pool of water immediately behind it? That one was pretty precarious.

There was a movie adaptation of Macbeth with Michael Fassbender a few years ago. Matt Berry wrote a review of it in character as Stephen Toast. This reminds me of that.

The guy has a bunch of other videos where he moans about his sister's "vegan agenda" etc. (after I watched it, his other videos kept showing up in my "Recommended for you" list every time I opened YouTube) which are just annoying. Not enough bragging about how his raw, masculine strength is so immense he can crush M&M's between his thumb and forefinger, you see.

I'm sure there are lots of videos by people who just don't think The Last Jedi is very good (I'm not interested in debating it here because it's been six months and it's tedious at this point), but the only ones that ever seem to get recommended (i.e. when I watch some "Star Wars rumours" video that's probably bullshit - I have no idea how bullshit that Mike Zeroh guy is, but I reckon he's bullshit) are all variations on "THE FEMINIST MISANDRY OF KATHLEEN KENNEDY" or "THE SJW DISEASE OF KATHLEEN KENNEDY". Why is it that those ones always seem to bubble to the top instead of the ones that have actual criticism in them?

As far as AUG things seen in public go, I've seen some but the one that's always stuck with me was a woman I saw directing her son to just piss in the street against a wall when I was parked outside a fish and chip shop. The reason I remember this is because even if it wasn't exactly bustling, there were still people walking about who could potentially see it happening.

Hey, while we're talking about gross and poop let me tell you about a couple other poopers. Luckily, one I only ever witnessed while walking down the hall and never had the kid in class. I'm walking down the hall during prep when I hear this kid yelling at one of our special ed teachers when all of a sudden he starts waving one of his legs around and poo poo starts going everywhere out the bottom of his pant leg.

One low-key kind of awkward stuff I enjoy is the music video for "Black Betty" by Ram Jam because they all look like the most 1970s stoner hillbilly guys ever.

I wonder whether that guy in the back who's just clapping the whole time was part of the band or if he was just a guy who happened to be around when they shot the video.
