They have a little more substance than say the Straightpipes who have also done pretty well for themselves.

I don't have a schtick.
Yes, I fataing hate these guys. If you're not funny, don't try to add cutesy/funny things to
every video. Also, the Canadian guy just doesn't seem like a good driver to me. Almost like Yuri of The Straight Pipes - I like watching Jakob and Yuri because it has been neat watching Yuri become more of a car enthusiast versus when they started and he was more interested in the tech behind producing YouTube videos than the cars themselves. Jakob knows the tech aspects of the cars and communicates them well.
Back to Throttle House, though, here is a perfect example (of many from which to choose) of why it's reasonable to hate these monkeys:
I mean, to get through the first 1:10 of that video is truly impossible. These guys are not funny. They're embarrassing to watch. Just total tits. And the Canadian guy is a doosh on top of it. Starting from 5 minutes through 9:30 when they're talking about the styling, they offer nothing. No comparison to other vehicles in real time. Just pointing out things anybody could just see. It's of no value.
If you like silly, contrast that pathetic planet of the apes thing with this video from The Straight Pipes, which is their silliest one, but it's actually entertaining because they're not nauseating to watch.
Savage Geese blows Throttle House out of the water, too. You actually learn something every time you watch that show.
