YouTube is possibly the internet's second most well-known website to us all, with the first being Google. With that being said, I think it's only fair that I give credit to some of my personal favorite YouTubers that I love to watch and hopefully you will too. This is my own list and as such my top 10 will obviously differ from yours. But I hope you give some of these people a watch and find some of your own new favorites. let's get to it!
HONORABLE MENTION
Witless Reviews
I cannot count how many times I watched VH1 where a band would count down their favorite bands, only to put themselves at #1. oh the arrogance. So I'll put myself in the honorable mention section and make a genuine Top 10 list with WR not on it.
10) DigitalRev TV
If you're like me and you love your photography then I can't think of a better Channel to Subscribe to than DigitalRev TV. Videos generally vary in length and but are always worth watching thanks to the charming and funny hosts. informative and interesting, DR is a must for photography enthusiasts
CHANNEL HIGHLIGHT: Giving professional photographers cheap cameras to test their skills
9) Planet Dolan
I've been watching Planet Dolan since he hosted the channel simply as Danger Dolan and was hooked on his videos thanks to Dolan's dry sense of humor, the weird and often morbid countdown lists and - since his collaborating with fellow YouTubers - his fairly high upload rate.
CHANNEL HIGHLIGHT: Learning about the creepiest things you could ever want
8) batinthesun
When your fights are better than portrayed in the movies, you know you're doing alright, and batinthesun is surely doing alright in my books. Watching your favorite heroes and villains fighting characters they'd never normally meet is a treat for the eyes and I love it. I'll admit that I only watch the fight videos and none of their other ones because that's all I really want to see. but those videos alone were enough to keep me hooked.
CHANNEL HIGHLIGHT: The original Green/White Ranger Jason David Frank is excellent as always
7) HarshlyCritical
John from HarshlyCritical makes you feel like you've invited your friend to come round and play video games with you. Covering games from triple A titles like Until Dawn, to classic games like the King's Quest series. HarshlyCritical uploads regularly and isn't annoying like many other YouTube Gamer channels.
CHANNEL HIGHLIGHT: Watching Cult-hit games like Call Of Cthulhu and King's Quest V.
6) TheReviewSpot
Spot from TheReviewSpot is one of two YouTubers that made me want to start recording YouTube videos. So he had to make this list somewhere. I've been subscribed to Spot since his early days and have still yet to watch all of his videos. He's an uploading machine lol. With a family-friendly theme and content from monthly boxes of snacks, all the way to cult horror video game figure, TheReviewSpot covers all Toy enthusiast areas.
CHANNEL HIGHLIGHT: Generally mid-length videos with an inviting, friendly host.
5) JonTronShow
The second YouTuber that made me want to create content is JonTron. I struggled to decide which should get the #5 spot, so basically consider numbers 5 and 6 to be interchangeable.
JonTron is without a doubt the funniest Gaming reviewer on the internet, and yes I know about AngryJoe, Spoony, AVGN, Boogie, and many many more, and still JonTron is the funniest on that list. With a mixed modern sense of humor that mixes pop-culture with Cult hit jokes and surreal jokes such as his references to 2001 A space odyssey, Jon's videos are a sure hit and clearly others agreed as JonTron has only grown more popular in his fairly short time as a YouTuber.
CHANNEL HIGHLIGHT: Jon's Nightshade video showcases everything best about his channel
4) PeanutButterGamer
If there's one thing I love, it's Zelda. if there's another thing I love, It's surreal humor. if there's one more thing i love it's old games and T.V Shows. combine them all and you've got PeanutButterGamer. PBG's videos are always funny and the content feels like it was made just for me (It wasn't lol) I already said that JonTron is the funniest, but I think PBG is a close second.
CHANNEL HIGHLIGHT: Ghost Ride The Whip
3) ashens
Stuart Ashen's dry wit and cynical nature is played out perfectly in his videos and his content just happens to be comedy gold, from Engrish instructions to vomit-inducing century eggs. It's hard not to find something funny about Ashens. It's also nice to have a fellow brit who has done so well on YouTube and his Movie, Quest For The Gamechild was well-made and genuinely fun to watch.
CHANNEL HIGHLIGHT: Tasting some of the most disgusting foods I've ever seen
2) DidYouKnowGaming?
DYKGaming has been going for a little while and has what I believe to be the kind of formula that could make for a television or Netflix series. Filled with facts that are genuinely not-known by the public and even to some of the more hardcore gamers, DYKGaming features all the most popular games and even some of the lesser known ones' deep dark secrets.
CHANNEL HIGHLIGHT: Guest hosts that you already follow teaching you about your favorite games.
1) Cinemassacre
If DidYouKnowGaming would make for a great series. then Cinemassacre would make for an entire great T.V Channel. From AVGN, James and Mike Mondays, to my personal favorite, Monster Madness. Cinemassacre has taken leaps and bounds on the internet and has endured for years thanks to James Rolfe's genuine love for old games/movies and culture. It's also only fair to give Mike Matei credit for all his hard work on AVGN and many other Cinemassacre-related projects.
Cinemassacre's content is so all-encompassing that it really could fill an entire TV channel and deserves the #1 spot on this and many other lists.
CHANNEL HIGHLIGHT: Monster Madness and Board James.
I hope you've enjoyed my latest blog post, please give the above YouTubers a try and see if they're your sort of thing. You wont regret it.
Have a great rest of day.
WR.
