A Dose of Buckley is a YouTube channel that can be found here. It is hosted by Adam Buckley, an Everyman, cynic, and web comedian who does weekly rants on YouTube in an attempt to bring "professional, scripted comedy" to the platform. His first rant was "London Transit Strike", published on December 10th, 2009. He also does annual "Ten Worst Songs of the Year" lists. Along with his usual rants, he has several side-series called "Supplements" and periodically releases premium content on Bandcamp. | |

A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: Invoked in "The Five Worst Songs of 1958" and in "The Five Worst Songs of 1964", in which Buckley poses as his grandfather, Arthur, who shares his grandson's sense of humor and makes lists tearing down annoying pop songs. In "The Five Worst Songs of 1996", a teenaged Buckley mentions that his grandfather was fired after a trashing a song his manager was paid to promote. In "The Five Worst Songs of 1971", Buckley instead poses as his uncle, Andrew, who was a DJ for the military during The Vietnam War. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The "Jason's J'opinions" series is designed to demonstrate why most amateur YouTubers are not good, since picking apart actual videos is against YouTube's Terms of Service. Jason's videos are littered with unnecessary annotations, awkward pauses in dialogue, and pandering for likes, subscribes, and comments at the start and end of the video. Buckley's 2015 April Fools video is a parody of a poorly made diss video against him, complete with misspelled words and a complete lack of editing. Buckley "uncovers" a recording from his teenage years where he lists the five worst songs of 1996 as a class assignment, showing off how amateur the recording was. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: His early doses were introduced by his then-girlfriend giving some kind of witty remark to set the tone for his rant. After they broke up, Buckley decided to drop the intro. Many of his early doses were under three minutes; now, it's rare for him to do a dose shorter than five minutes. The first two "Ten Worst Songs" lists used clips from the music videos of the songs in question, and both were shorter than his subsequent lists. Since 2012, Buckley uses the single's cover art and displays the lyrics (most of the time). | |

Disproportionate Retribution: In the "Tourists Raped in India" rant, he believes that Nicki Minaj should receive the death penalty for releasing more than one Pink Friday album. In the "Nostalgia" rant, anyone born in the 1990s who gets nostalgic for anything before 2020 should be automatically enrolled for taser testing. In Nerd Rants: Series 2, Buckley wishes bodily harm on those who pirated his album...even though he admitted to illegally downloading the original GTA as a teenager. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: On "Nintendo Hates Fans and Money", before calling out on the company's Violation of Common Sense businesses practices - the Nintendo Store never gives discounts to first party games, when sales will actually make more people buy those titles; potential perennial best-sellers like the NES\SNES Classic and Super Mario 3D All-Stars are limited deals and thus the money instead goes to scalpers and resellers - he concedes that for all people complain on Nintendo taking down fangames, money is being made off their properties without their permission. | |

Screw the Rules, I Make Them! | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_78c5ce7e | comment |
Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: For his "Ten Worst Songs" series, Buckley keeps a set of rules for what songs are eligible and not eligible for the list; note Generally, any song Buckley can't make a joke about is not eligible for the list. Specifically disqualified songs include any viral novelty song or any song not officially released by an established North American artist, any song not meant for mainstream North American radio (e.g. club songs, TV/movie/game soundtracks, etc.), any instrumental song or songs with minimal/no lyrics, any holiday songs, and any song he covered in "Musical Autopsy". Rule #1 reads "I can break any of my own rules whenever I feel it's necessary"; he invoked this rule in the "Worst Songs of 2012" video for two songs he previously reviewed on "Musical Autopsy": Toby Keith's "Red Solo Cup" and Nicki Minaj's "Stupid Hoe". | |

A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_7abba202 | comment |
The Faceless: Most of his videos are simply slideshows; however, Buckley does get on camera on occasion, most often in his "Jason's J'opinions" videos. In the "So You Want to be a YouTube Commentator" video, he justifies his facelessness by stating that audio quality is more important for him, and describes his production and editing process for his videos is easier with just audio instead of video of himself. The on-camera segments of "Baking with Buckley: Trick or Treat Cake" demonstrate why Buckley typically stays off-camera, with his voice sounding higher pitched than normal. Whenever Buckley shows a photo of himself to make a point, he'll often make a joke about himself. | |

Later-Installment Weirdness | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_7b21ef92 | comment |
Later-Installment Weirdness: The "Worst Songs" lists from 2019 onward deviate from years past, using an "awards show" format rather than a traditional top 10 list. The new format was born from Buckley's 2019 hiatus, and he likes the new format better and mentioned that the order for his past lists was largely arbitrary except for the worst overall song of the year. | |

A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_808cbaeb | comment |
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In his "Tourists Raped in India" video, he believes that the death penalty should be used for so-called 'lesser crimes', such as rape, child molestation or putting out more than one Pink Friday album. In the "Ebola and Dr. Chris Brown, Conspiracy Theorist" video, Buckley claims that conspiracy theorists believe that the US Government caused 9/11, the Sandy Hook shooting, and Sharknado. | |

Canadian Music | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_8294c9d | comment |
While his "Musical Autopsies" usually stick with hit songs or popular artists on the American Hot 100, he discusses a then-Top 10 Canadian song by Serena Ryder and Canadian content law in one video. In the same video, Buckley says most Canadian entertainment is terrible, arguing that popular Canadian artists such as Justin Bieber, Nickelback, Céline Dion, Bryan Adams, and the Barenaked Ladies are actually the best Canada can do. He also implies that most Canadian music is amateur work produced in someone's backyard shed, and Canadian radio stations (by law) have to play it, since they can't play Rush 6 times an hour. | |

Hipster: Says that he's been into Asian girls since 1989 - a period of time when Asians were thoroughly hated and prejudiced against. Mentions them when he listed the Rej3ct's "Cat Daddy" in his "Worst Songs of 2011" list, asking why, when black culture decided to rip some off from white culture for a changenote after mentioning how white culture stole Rhythm and Blues to make Rock 'n Roll and Rap to make Nu-Metal, they decided to rip off hipsters, of all things, from white culture. His comments on "We Are Young" in his Worst Songs of 2012 video reveal that he has pretty negative views on "indie hipster bullshit." He explains that he was reluctant of putting "Anaconda" by Nicki Minaj on The Ten Worst Songs of 2014, because he's sick of hearing about it, and then says that you can call him a "Hipster of hate." | |

You Keep Using That Word | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_92d7976 | comment |
You Keep Using That Word: Buckley devotes an entire rant to how "mouthbreathers" abuse the word "literally". However, Buckley admits in a subsequent video that as a teenager, he often misused the word "random". Also, he calls the Oxford English Dictionary a "fucking joke", comparing it to Urban Dictionary for including the misused definition of words. Wonders why LMFAO keep talking about 'rocking' and making 'rock' music, when they aren't. Comes up in the first three "Worst of Songs 20xx" videos. In the first two cases, the words in question already have an established slang meaning. In 2010, it was Soulja Boy with "swag"note a window decoration OR free promotional items (e.g. pens, coozies, etc), NOT style. In 2011, it was YC with "racks"note a place to store your hats, spices, or bikes OR cleavage, NOT money. In 2012, it was Juicy J with "bands"note rubber bands, NOT money. Calls out Katy Perry for calling herself a "dark horse" in the song of the same name. Buckley states that she is a "sure thing" with nearly all of her main release singles hitting the Top 40. In his rant about the "Nice Guy Syndrome", Buckley calls out "nice guys" when they act like Entitled Bastards towards attractive women. | |

Scumbags of the Internet #10, where a (supposed) pre-law student plagiarized, nearly verbatim, six main series dosesnote "Etsy: Saving Morons from Themselves Since 2015", "Can't Graduate, Just Sue!", "Fox News vs. The Alternative Media", "Apple and Exclusivity in Music", "Caitlyn Jenner vs. Drake Bell vs. Society", and "Dubstep", two Musical Autopsiesnote Beyonce's "7/11" and Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money", the Things Famous Dead People Said preview, and the One Direction episode of Tweeting Rainbow, posting her "articles", after removing any swearing, shortening the transcript down to 500 words, and ruining most of the jokes made in the videos, around two weeks after Buckley posted his videos. Most egregiously, she plagiarized the "Dubstep" video, Buckley's most viewed video outside of the "Worst Songs" series, three years after Buckley originally posted the video. | |

Judge, Jury, and Executioner | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_a0e51cd2 | comment |
Judge, Jury, and Executioner: Buckley hates YouTube's Content ID system for allowing the owners of copyrighted material to decide whether or not a Content ID claim violates copyright rather than having either YouTube themselves or an impartial third party review the claim objectively. Buckley states that he has no problem with companies enforcing copyright; however, he does have a problem when a company illegitimately flags or blocks a video that should be protected under Fair Use, specifically his own Musical Autopsy videos. Buckley later calls out Warner for abusing the Content ID system as a form of censorship, first blocking a Musical Autopsy of the Black Keys' "Turn Blue", then blocking a parody video from Greenpeace using music and imagery from The LEGO Movie to criticize Lego and its partnership with Shell. In response to the IFPI taking down his Musical Autopsy of "Bitch Better Have My Money", Buckley makes a parody video showing how YouTube's copyright system is broken and skewed towards the giant media corporations. Buckley also notes the site's lack of any real customer service. | |

Karma Houdini: In "Cyberpunk - No Consequences For Failure?" he notes the depressing reality of the refund rate for Cyberpunk 2077 to be, at the highest if you accumulate CDPR and Forbes' own estimates, to be at Two Percent. This is completely counter to the narrative that press and media outlets had, who were claiming the game was refunded en-masse. Buckley then says that these numbers show that gamers are apathetic to the situation, and that games can release in an Early Access-like state, and still sell millions of copies, despite everyone involved knowing the game was broken. | |

"So thanks to today's 'Scumbag of the Internet', [scumbag's name], for making us all feel better by knowing no matter what we do in life, we'll always be better than [he/she/they] [is/are]."

Everyone Has Standards: In "Scumbags of the Internet #10", he claims that he's "too fucking nice for his own good"; despite the subject of the video, a supposed pre-law student, plagiarizing his content, Buckley blurs out her face and surname so his less scrupulous fans don't dox attack and harass her. Buckley states that this is his fight, and his fans should not get involved. In "Scumbags of the Internet #16", Buckley explicitly states that he hates doxxers, calling them the worst scumbags of the Internet. In his Musical Autopsy of "Stupid Hoe", Buckley is appalled by Nicki Minaj (who isn't African) using the N-word. In his video, "Revisiting The Ten Worst Songs of 2012 (in 2022)", he makes fun of several of the artists in the video after looking at what they were doing in the interim. He notably does not make fun of Justin Bieber too much, primarily because he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome (essentially paralysing parts of his face, stopping him from singing), and notes that it's not really how a music career should end for anyone, and that he's not gonna touch that for the sake of a joke; he has standards (His caption read "I'm an asshole, not a fucking asshole!"). | |

In a "post-rant rant", Buckley claims that if Sam and Dan Houser had wished bodily harm on him, he wouldn't blame them. Buckley claims that he hates "self-congratulatory YouTuber bullshit"; however, he'll brag about reaching milestones in his way. | |

Sell-Out | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_c7528117 | comment |
Sell-Out: When Buckley released his first premium album, Nerd Rants: Series 1, and sold a run of t-shirts, some people said he was "selling out". Buckley posted a video explaining that attempting to monetize your hobby is not selling out, but sacrificing your principles in order to do so is. Midway in the video, Buckley does a parody dose where he hypothetically sells out, shilling Burger King, bashing McDonalds and having all of his cursing censored. His "Career Suicide" rant, he calls former One Direction member Zayn Malik a sell-out for staying in the group and making money for five years while claiming that music he made as part of 1D was "generic as fuck" and something he would never listen to. | |

Self-Deprecation: Buckley often makes jokes about himself whenever he shows a picture of himself, such as: As Buckley states in his "Nintendo Fans are Morons" video: "If you can't make fun of the things you love, you don't deserve to make fun of the things you hate." | |

Scare Campaign | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_d207556f | comment |
Scare Campaign: Discussed in the "Canada's Elections" rant, highlighting how political campaign ads during Canadian Parliamentary elections are just as much of a media circus as any US Presidential or Congressional midterm election, highlighting 2015 campaign ads between then-Conservative leader (and also then-incumbent Prime Minister) Stephen Harper and Liberal leader (and now current PM) Justin Trudeau. Buckley even compares an election campaign to YouTube comments. | |

Canada, Eh? | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_d429d0f6 | comment |
Canada, Eh?: Buckley often mentions that he is from Canada, which he claims is essentially the same country as the US. However, some of his videos deal with strictly Canadian topics (e.g. any video concerning his hometown of London, Ontario, the 2011 and 2015 Canadian Federal Elections, the 2011 Canada Post strike, Canadian marriage fraud, Verizon's attempt to enter the Canadian cellular market, Target's failure in Canada, etc). Buckley often says that Canadians are a bunch of pussies, especially in sports other than hockey. In his "Tim Hortons' Cup Sizes" video, Buckley claims that he is not very Canadian. He doesn't follow hockey, hates winter, thinks The Tragically Hip sucks, and doesn't drink Tim Hortons coffee, all of which, particularly the first and last, he claims may be acts of high treason against Canada. While his "Musical Autopsies" usually stick with hit songs or popular artists on the American Hot 100, he discusses a then-Top 10 Canadian song by Serena Ryder and Canadian content law in one video. In the same video, Buckley says most Canadian entertainment is terrible, arguing that popular Canadian artists such as Justin Bieber, Nickelback, Céline Dion, Bryan Adams, and the Barenaked Ladies are actually the best Canada can do. He also implies that most Canadian music is amateur work produced in someone's backyard shed, and Canadian radio stations (by law) have to play it, since they can't play Rush 6 times an hour. In the "CRTC vs Porn" rant, he claims that the CRTCnote Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission preserves Canadian heritage one shitty show and song at a time by acting as the last line of defence against America's vastly superior and more well produced entertainment. In the "Buzzfeed Canada vs. White Males" rant, Buckley puts on an exaggerated Canadian accent when Buzzfeed is looking for Canadian writers. | |

Hypocrite | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Buckley often targets hypocritical people in his rants. In the "Nice Guy Syndrome" video, where he calls out supposed "nice guys" who rant about how attractive women go for "douchebags", especially when said "nice guys" act like Entitled Bastards. Calls out Rae Sremmurd for "flexing" in their song "No Flex Zone". At the start of the "Caitlyn Jenner vs. Drake Bell vs. Society" rant, he outright states that's he going to be a hypocrite. He claims it's unavoidable while he talks about why people shouldn't care about a former Olympian turned reality show star's transgender status. Makes note of how WWE felt that firing Hulk Hogan for off-record racist remarks was fine, despite they themselves having a long record of wrestlers with at best questionable gimmicks,note citing Flash Funk (a stereotypical pimp), Papa Shango and The Godfather (a voodoo doctor and a mobster), Kamala (an African savage stereotype), and The Nation of Domination's feud with the Hart Foundation...which had the former's locker vandalized by the latter with somewhat racist graffiti as well as Vince McMahon himself using the N-word. | |

Even Nerds Have Standards: In the Nerd Rants series, Buckley admits that he's into a lot of geeky shit; however, Buckley doesn't get why adults, particularly college-aged (18 to 24) males, like My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic unironicallynote however, he is more understanding of why boys in the intended demographic age (6 to 11) might watch and enjoy the show and why anyone likes zombies. | |

Gold Digger: In "Advice No One Asked For #43", he reads a letter from a woman who complains that her new husband (who is over 20 years older than her, and has a total of five adult children from two previous marriages) refuses to make her an equal partner in the family finances despite having no income of her own. Buckley points out that: a. With two failed marriages behind him, the man's refusal to give her unrestricted access to his money is most likely him learning from experience, and b. If it's money she's after, she should have married someone with no kids to share her future inheritance with. | |

Running Gag | |
A Dose of Buckley (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Each question in "Advice No One Asked For" gets a unique and humorous salutation, often alluding to the fact that the letter was never intended for Buckley to answer (e.g. "Dear someone not Buckley", "Dear... oh fuck, it's Buckley isn't it", etc.). Also, each letter is signed with Added Alliterative Appeal (e.g. "Introverted in Iowa", "Stressed Out in Sacramento", etc.). During "The Worst Songs" produced of that year, his honourable mentions are always after the #1 pick, and he always ends the video with by playing out the top worst song. "AND NOW... FOR A PRE/MID/POST-RANT RANT!" Larry the Legal Eagle shows up whenever Buckley is talking about law. The fake tweet in the title card for "Buckley Reads Tweets From Rappers" is deliberately misspelled. If Buckley analyzes song lyrics in any non-"Musical Autopsy" video, it will be called "NOT a Musical Autopsy". Buckley doing a facetious "Prrroblematic!". Prior to some offensive comments, he'll put in a "Tumblr Trigger Warning" slide complete with a crying baby. Anytime something written has ellipses in them, especially in any tweet Buckley perceives as asinine, he'll read off each period as "dot" for however many periods are present up to an extent. | |

Shown Their Work: Though he has some research failures, Buckley researches his topic each week and cites his sources for news articles or statistics. For instance, some viewers said he should've filled the worst songs of 2011 list up with Justin Bieber songs. In his "Worst Songs of 2012", Buckley pointed out that Bieber only had put out one song that year, and was disqualified by being a Christmas song. | |
