I've played for 6 years and I'm still playing

Alright, I said I'd write a 600 word review after watching one Gura stream, and I went a bit over word count. I'll post it in three posts.

I just want to start by saying I am not a Gura fan, so as much as I tried to be impartial and keep an open mind, there is some bias here. I say that not to come off as harsh, but just to provide context. I hoped to come up with at least a few Gura "jokes" that I enjoy and I have sort of done so, but I'm going to try to analyze a few qualities of her comedy in particular:
>1. Referential, catchphrase, and memetic comedy (people do exaggerate this aspect of her humour, but it's present)
>2. Frenetic dissociation which constantly removes her from context. This is either performative or unintentional. I think this has the most potential for actual comedy, if she works on it a bit
>3. Res ipsa loquitur, i.e. "the thing speaks for itself," which I will explain

First point: Gura is, much to her credit, a person with a good grasp of internet culture. It's second nature for her to speak in meme references. To some extent I think this is unconscious and not even an attempt at comedy for her, so she'll say things like "ooh a computer, I'm gonna go HACKERMAN mode here" offhandedly the way someone in a Discord chatroom might say the same thing. But there are certainly times when she wants to make referential humour the center of attention and is trying to turn it into a comedic bit. An example from this stream was when she made a (kind of amusingly dated) joke about the Pepto Bismol commercial jingle, which I kind of wonder how many people watching were even old enough to recognize. I swear she even had a joke later in the stream where she heard the monster scream and said "yeah buddy, sometimes I feel like that too, before I've had my COFFEE!" Which is the kind of joke my mom would share on Facebook.

I'm lumping "catchphrase" in with this. She didn't do a ton of this, much less than I remember her doing when I watched her before. She acknowledged a name in a list that looked sort of like the word "Shark" but moved on from it pretty quickly. I noticed one time where she said "shar-har-hark!" as a way of laughing, and I remember someone mentioning in /hlgg/ at some point that she was talking about making that into her signature laugh, but I didn't think they were being serious. That felt pretty forced and awkward, almost like she was making fun of herself?

making me understand the japs that say that they wanna be reincarnated as inanimate objects

What's your favorite type of stream, guys?

I'd say for me it's definitely utawaku/karaoke.
No other type of stream gets me so excited when they are announced, I look forward to them many days in advance. They are pretty much always fun.
