There were a lot of gameplay commentaries in MW2, but I think with the release of Black Ops that number has sky rocketed. I mean, you're getting people on YouTube, posting gameplay with 'commentary' that doesn't even pertain to anything that is related to the game they're playing. I mean given there are some fairly entertaining people who do commentaries, and not all of them are bad. But does this annoy anyone else?  
  
I made a video kinda related to this, I hope it makes you laugh.

I was expecting more out of this...

Good video. 
 
The problem is Theater Mode. You don't even have to worry about FRAPSing during a match anymore, because you can just go on a streak, and then go back and record afterwards. And since you can dip into the past 100 games, you don't even have to actually wait for good matches, because you can just put in bulk games and pick out the good matches. 
 
I actually have a video uploaded myself. It's just an upload of some laggy shit, as a guy and I knifed each other at the same time (so kill-and-die).

It's the twitter/facebook status update syndrome. Everyone now thinks their lives and opinions are fascinating and worth documenting. It's only going to get worse.

Isn't it Ironic?
That you'd make a post about too many video commentaries linking to your video commenting on how there are to many video commentaries on gameplay.
Don't 'cha think?
Just sayin' haha
 
As far as annoyance... no. Not really. That'd be like being annoyed at all the want ads in the penny saver. It's there so people use it.
If you find it annoying just don't watch them. I don't.
 
Also, I think the fireburger guy above me has it spot on.

Yeah, most of them suck, but I really like the one Husky did as a joke. That one was awesome as hell.

People make a living doing this. It's amazing how much power Call of Duty has.

That's exactly my point, people are pretty much getting paid for talking, the only thing thats different is that it's over a piece of game footage.  Maybe annoying isn't the right word, I'm not quite sure how to describe it. I just feel it's wrong to be "content creators" who aren't really even creating content. But, I guess it all comes back to the fact that people watch it. Don't know why, but people do.  "

Because of the way the game is designed, everybody thinks they're some super special snowflake god of gaming.
 
Though I think Call of Duty (post-4) is pretty awful - as is the community, though that's to be expected from pretty much every game nowadays - I've gotta give credit where it's due; Infinity Ward are geniuses.

I like several guys on YouTube who does Black Ops commentaries, but that's because I like them as people and not because of their Black Ops playing. People stop commentating on the actual game itself because it is self explanatory and because it is mostly just "yo so I went with this class because better bullets". When they come out with a new video I treat it as a podcast, or I watch it just to remind myself that Black Ops was a thing. I love it when they do games I haven't seen before or a vlog, but alas they keep doing Black Ops videos because there are apparently people out there that only play online shooters.
