MatPat's Game Lab

In my opinion the best Youtube Red exclusive I've seen so far, Game Lab is quite a fun mix of edutainment with nerd culture. Matpat is a great host, who is very enthusiastic even when he says something awkward. The general theme of the show is taking gamers out of their comfort zone in a sense, but also relating each episode to a video game. The first episode is themed around Mirror's Edge, so they went to a parkour school and learned some basic techniques. The latest episode takes the group to get trained by an ex-Navy Seal in some basic stealth techniques. This sort of fusion of gamer fantasy with the real life counterpart serves as a fun and educational way of informing the viewer what it takes to do these things in real life.

The main flaw is fairly subjective, but at times the humour is a little too awkward, mainly due to the unscripted nature of the show. This is fine most of the time for me, but can be annoying for some.
