Gary Rogers abuses the fact that young white kids laugh whenever black guys say the n-word with an animated delivery, and that loses its appeal once those white kids grow up and discover black guys who are actually funny. Whoever compared Gary Rogers to Chappelle needs to be euthanized.
mf's like John Hill and them initially came off as some midwest suburban bible study cornballs, and the fact that they've remained cornballs after being exposed to the diverse culture of skateboarding speaks volumes. It seems like he fused that identity with a tinge of vulnerable narcissism that he picked up while living in NY, and his YouTube channel comes off as an internal struggle between being innately lame & not fully understanding what it is that makes him lame. There are valid reasons why the industry didn't accept him through conventional means, and that's saying a lot since we've seen racists/ woman beaters/ sex offenders/ etc. get a pass.
As for the Braille "WE MADE A SKATEBOARD OUT OF _______" videos, those videos only appeal to non-skateboarders. I don't actually consider that to be skateboard related content, it's basically a sideshow for the uninitiated to gawk at while they stuff their faces with fast food and mountain dew.
