Thanks for the explanation, that makes far more sense than 'he's popular', which would be too weird.Mark Goldbridge (real name Brent Di Cesare) is a character. Not in the 1970’s euphemism sense, but he plays a character. If you watch enough of his stuff, you notice his influences. Constant Partridge references for one thing, which I appreciate!
He grew up supporting Nottingham Forest, and is an ex-copper (hence the name change), and his content and image is very carefully cultivated.
An example is him watching a game on a stream. He has the live chat going, which he reads and answers questions (in return for ££). He also uses this to set up “meme” moments. An example is that the chat and updates on goals is faster than the delayed stream he watches.
It’s therefore comedy gold for him to see Brighton have scored in the live chat, and quickly say “These Brighton knob bees are shite, they’re never gonna score, NEVER”. Then watch in mock horror on his stream as we do exactly that 30 seconds later.
This then gets clipped up by his editor and monetised on YouTube as being a hilariously spontaneous moment, where everyone can laugh at his expense.
He does exactly the same things in his FIFA streams. Deliberately “doesn’t notice” stuff (like his centre back is up front, or he has had a player sent off) then acts all shocked and watches the social media engagement happen.
It’s bollocks, but entertaining bollocks.
They are not midfielders of course, but he’s actually spot on in the real point he’s making - that all of the goals are scored by a player arriving late in the box, after running past or away, from a United player who’s failed to stick with them.So Welbeck and Pedro are midfielders. Ok.
I've grown to like him – he's actually pretty complimentary towards Brighton, it's funny when he has a meltdown and is actually normally pretty objective.Jesus, how?! Who would want to listen to such uninformed drivel. Beyond me.
