This is a recently started video series by IM John Bartholomew doing pretty much exactly what you are requesting. There are several other videos in the series released now, too. I have put a link to the first one.
Here's another series that I think was finished by NM Dalton Perrine. This link is to the first video of the series. Again, this is pretty much exactly what you are requesting.

This was perfect! I've watched about 20 minutes so far and it's very educational and insightful. I love how Bartholomew comments on his thought process and speculates about his opponents moves too. His analysis of what's going on and highlights of weaknesses and how to exploit them - short or long-term - is perfect for what I was looking for. I just wish there were more!
I feel like every opening has like it's own set of exploitable weaknesses that opponents can make from not-so-hot moves. But I'm just not always aware of how to exploit them.
These videos, however, are a fantastic start and have already given me lots of ideas!!!
Thanks a bunch!
If you would consider books as well as videos, Max Euwe's _Chess Master Versus. Chess Amateur_ is what you are asking for. The openings are a little dated but the principles are still true. I found it a very helpful book when I was around 1500 rating.
He says in his introduction that it is good for amateurs to study amateur games because there are moves GMs never make, but we need to know how to deal with them.

If you want to be entertained by the spectacle of a grandmaster massacring a series of regular players, go to youtube and search for "Banter Blitz" You will find plenty of examples of GMs Joel Benjamin, Max Dlugy. and Jan Gustaffson playing blitz against amateurs, whle carrying on humorous and instructive banter
I've seen Banter Blitz with Jan Gustaffson and Peter Svidler, but they play 2000-2400 types usually. I don't think I've seen either play a person lower than 1900-ish. If Benjamin, Dlugy, and others play lower rated guys, then I might be interested in checking them out.
Chess24, by the way, is a nice YouTube channel. I agree with you that those guys can be very funny!

Good recommendation and, yes, I agree we need to know how to deal with "goofy" moves even though the GMs never play them. I shall look around to see if I can get a free or cheap version of that book. Thanks too!! YOu guys are great!

Quoting myself from earlier.
I just wanted to give a quadruple thumbs up to IM Bartholomew's video series, "Climbing the Ladder."
I've been going through it and it's simply amazing!!!
You can also have a look at this channel on youtube: Remote Chess Academy

After finishing IM Bartholomew's series, I plunged into FM Perrine's series and it's just as good, if not better!!!
Both have their own strengths and I love how they both see the game and share their thinking processes. Perrine's series is a bit longer, so I've probably gotten a bit more from his. But Bartholomew's fundamentals series was a very nice complement to the climing the ladder stuff he did.
Everyone should check them out!
For those of us wanting to learn how to beat games under 1600 or so, it would be awesome to have a video series, tutorial, or article of some sort showing how an awesome player (let's say 2300 and above) would go about beating very weak players (let's say 1600 and below roughly).
Do any such resources exist? I want to learn how to punish bad play better. Thanks.
