Don't get this view of Extra Credits being "pretentious". It's well researched, well expressed opinions that you may or may not agree with it but they're presented well enough to be an enjoyable watch whether you do or don't.
Because they read into things so much that it stops making sense and they like to criticize anyone who doesn't think like them (look at their latest video, the last half of it is nothing but "people who don't agree with us hate change and want the game industry to suck"). And they are obsessed with "originality" to the point that when they decided to respond to viewer questions about what games they actually like, they pretty much said "that's a boring question, instead we'll say what games are really different, even though we admit some might not be good!". I've watched most of their videos and they're not totally awful or anything, but they definitely fit any definition of pretentious you can care to come up with.
