It's easy: people watch other people play ball on television instead of playing themselves. Sometimes they watch celebrities play ball, because they suck at it, but it's entertaining. Same thing here with video games, you might watch a pro, you also might watch a great entertainer.

That's the part I don't get.
Also, at least some celebrities are indeed professional entertainers.
But the videos I talk about, I would have thought the people in there were not funnier than my real friends, even at 12 years old. They have nothing special about it.
Maybe that's the key? That they are as average as the viewer?
