The first time I came across his channel I felt similarly, but coupled with the dry humor, passive aggressive offhand comments, and intentionally long pauses waiting for the joke to land, I began to feel like it went with the tone of the content. I wasn’t sure at first, but he seems very self aware.
The whole thing reminds of some 80s PBS and Wes Anderson mashup in the best way.
Yeah, he rides right up to, and sometimes crosses, the line of being a bit too hokey/jokey for me. But the other 95% of the content of his videos are so amazingly good that I can get over the eye-rolly bits. He absolutely deserves his success.

Don't watch Aging Wheels then. Love both of them, but my wife complains when I watch either on the living room TV.
Then you'd really be missing out, because Aging Wheels is awesome
Same!
Thankfully YouTube allows you to 2x the playback. That was the only reason I watched most of this video.
