The first time I came across his channel I felt similarly, but coupled with the dry humor, passive aggressive offhand comments, and intentionally long pauses waiting for the joke to land, I began to feel like it went with the tone of the content. I wasn’t sure at first, but he seems very self aware.

The whole thing reminds of some 80s PBS and Wes Anderson mashup in the best way.

Yeah, he rides right up to, and sometimes crosses, the line of being a bit too hokey/jokey for me. But the other 95% of the content of his videos are so amazingly good that I can get over the eye-rolly bits. He absolutely deserves his success.
