a pack of wolves:
That Valkyria Chronicles one is... pretty terrible actually. Bad enough I can actually be arsed to write about it. Nearly all the jokes are them saying "this is silly. Did you see that bit? It was silly, wasn't it?" Redundant, everyone knows video games are usually silly. Pointing out the obvious isn't a good joke. It's the same mistake Badly Dubbed Porn made, assuming that constantly informing people old porn is silly would be at all amusing.
Since they're compelled to make jokes over the whole thing they end up saying things are silly that actually aren't. "Why is south Bruhl perpendicular to North Bruhl?" They're signposts, roads aren't always straight, the joke fails. "These people are walking slowly." Oh. "The invading army appears to be just this guy." No it doesn't. That could be a joke if they ran with it, but it feels like they haven't even watched the clip before so they don't know how to sustain anything because they have no idea if something will work. This is why Shock Video worked, they'd sustain a single premise for an entire clip. The only time they try is a gag where some fish talk, but they just call someone a perv a couple of times. When that's the highlight you need to stop.
RallyMonkey:
I think a prime example of the lack of quality inherent in these videos is from the Lost Odyssey video near the end, some solemn music starts, and the only thing either of them say for a good 15 seconds is "Saaaad music". Really? That's the best thing you could come up with? Commenting that the music is sad? That's the type of thing you find funny?

These videos on the internet are not as funn as a career comedian, therefore, they are shit.

No, see, you have missed the point entirely (although i do agree that they are indeed shit).
The point was that somebody labelled them as dry, witty humour (which i had already said they were not), and i was using the example of Stephen Wright, a career comedian who has made his trade by being dry, witty and indeed humorous, to show that (while i really do not agree that they are funny in the slightest) they are not dry, witty "jokes" that they are "using".
