Emily Belz of WORLD wrote on Dec. 26, 2013, Marcus Johns is "popular and inoffensive, though not profound by any stretch. As one of the monarchs of Vine, Johns is also the most accessible to all ages of the Viners I've watched. His Vines have great physical comedy (in many of them he is shirtless), funny voices, and storytelling (see his latest, 'He’s a Keeper (with my Grandpa)' below). In that sense his comedy is 'old school,' like that of Jim Carrey or the Marx Brothers."
