Caddy is the main protagonist from the web series named Caddicarus. He is a game reviewer who always tells jokes.
Why he Rocks[]
- He has a great sense of humour. A lot his jokes are worth a good laugh, and they work tremendously with a good setup and excellent delivery.
- He had more than million memorable quotes that even this article can’t show them all, but here are the most memorable quotes:
- Slaughtered or Salvaged
- Fiddle Dee Dee
- We’re F*****
- Man I love my favourite prime time family friendly YouTube superstar, GUMP!
- Even the line "Maxie, we don’t want any queers in this house!" is very hilarious despite being controversial.
- Besides the million of quotes, he also had some running gags such as he putting stupid names, he reading the back of the boxes, and padoring the beach or other vacation place commercials.
- He is grateful towards his fans and viewers and doesn't take them for granted.
- He despises the whole "It's made for kids" excuse, particularly when talking about games and TV shows that clearly pander to kids. He understands that even children have standards, and thus is not an excuse to make a poor quality product.
- He doesn't talk down to kids either, as seen in his "Kids Explain" videos. He asks two girls in every video on what they thought of a game, show or movie they watched and Caddy would use that as proof for how they perceive things.
- Caddick is particularly harsh against cheap kids' games because of his hatred of the mere existence of the "It's made for kids" excuse.
- His collaborations with Jordan Underneath, Scott The Woz, Brutalmoose, Scarfhulu, GillytheKid, and Somecallmejohnny are pure gold, especially an animated cameo from LS Mark, He works very well with these guys, and the humor lends itself well. His Bubsy 3D review also featured guest appearances from Rerez, Tennings, Somecallmejohnny, and even his own sister.
- Whenever Caddy does a collaboration, his guest often points out his quirky personality.
- He is also an excellent drummer. He has a few drumming videos on his channel in which he does drum covers of various video game music, such as the Croc theme, and the stage music for Hog Wild.
- He is not afraid to give controversial opinions on certain games. An example is his Top-10 video of his most unpopular opinions.
- He's also not afraid to give disclaimers for some parts of his videos like opinions and thoughts of his own.
- His earlier reviews were very clearly inspired by JonTron, but over time he gradually developed his own fun-loving, lighthearted, and goofy style for his future videos.
- Much like JonTron, while he also portrays a wacky, silly, insane, eccentric, somewhat fun-loving & childish persona in the main videos, Jim is actually a very mature, rational, unbiased, frank, and responsible person. Occasionally he makes more serious videos where he raises awareness of real-life issues with most topics in a calm, civilized manner.
- Jim has also made several videos calling out bad parenting habits in any form of media.
- Jim has made some videos from time to time about being aware of producing YouTube content leading to the desired effect with improvement for oneself or even an undesired effect as well in some instances.
- Jim has also made videos about how one can improve and grow as a person no matter how bad some developments or habits one is around after discussing a poorly made video game, movie, or show.
- Videos like "CRINGING IN MY FIRST VIDEO - Caddicarus" and many other videos that were similar to this further discuss how his style of videos has improved over time.
- His way of rationalizing before or after making a goofy joke for the way he thought something was horrendous, mediocre, decent, or great is very well developed and well written.
- Despite his nostalgia towards Crash Team Racing, he was more than happy to call out publisher Activision for adding microtransactions to Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled around a month after the initial launch.
Bad Qualities[]
- While his style of humor is fantastic, energized and hilarious, he can sometimes be hit-or-miss.
- False advertising: He confirms that he is from the United States on his youtube account despite the fact that he is british.
Trivia[]
- His original name was James Caddick, but he recently changed it to Jim because he didn't like the old name.
- His sister, Rosie, has her own channel that goes by the name "Professor Juice." Her style is clearly based on her brother's.
- A while back, Caddy decided to drop the "Slaughtered or Salvaged" rating from his reviews since he felt he needed to evolve past it.
