I dont find Speed funny at all, but him being popular makes sense. Growing up with the Internet, the 4 C.H.A.N/forum/meme humor, and adult swim has made the youts extremely irreverent. Nothing is to be taken seriously, up to and including social mores. No matter how obvious it is that their fav youtube personalities are acting for the camera, the fact that they are subverting a expected behavior is where the humor comes in.
In a weird way this is the logical evolution of surrealist humor like Eric Andre and Tim and Eric, except without the dry humor and subtle element of satire/parody.
Its why comedy movies are a dying breed. Millenials and Gen X are far too fractured in beliefs and Zoomers dont find setups, punchlines, observational humor, romcom/brocom hybrids (apatow movies) and biting satire very funny.
