There are a lot of internet people who provide us with entertainment, and everyone on the internet likes at least one of them.

My personal favorites are those who seamlessly blend wisdom and rage.

As I say with all my topics nowadays, this is not a flame war. You are entitled to your opinions and other internet people are entitled to theirs.

So who provides you with internetworked entertainment, why? and feel free to share the obscures so we can enjoy them as well.

My favorites are the ones bellow

The guy who is releasing a new video in some minutes I think... errr... what's his name? Oh! Yahtzee.

The Angry Video Game Nerd (and more or less all the guys at screwattack)

I haven't found a third, yet!

Coming back from PAX, I've got a few new ones!

- the guys from Penny Arcade. I realize you said "person" but .. well, I've got groups of people that are le awesome from there, and these two definitely fit the bill. While they said they're "too stupid to quit" what they've done in the internet community, creating a community unto itself with PAX, and Child's Play, I definitely look up to them on the interwebs and off of it.

- RoosterTeeth. Those guys are hilarious, creative, and have stupid antics up the whazoo, which are depicted in the office comics. It shows how you can take what was a short 2 minute parody and have it snowball into a five year plus project that's made you a staple on the internet.

- Ken Levine, who gave the keynote speech this year at PAX. While apparently not Wil Wheadon, the man gave a speech that spoke to the inner nerd in all of us, and chronicled his journey from being banished in "nerd siberia" to finally finding his "home" and having a job that embraces his inner nerd. He's a really good storyteller, too. :)

Internet fame is a bit fleeting and all that jazz, but I think that Yahtzee seems to have been fairly popular consistently, although I think the number one slot (hate it or love it) has to go to Newgrounds creator Tom Fulp, how he, slightly inadvertently, turned a personal project into an internet phenomenon with a vast and passionate fanbase (although occasionally clueless), and how he has not only supported and nurtured this community but actively works to exapand and improve this. Couple this with his Dev House Behemoth, and he's a pretty successful fellow. Definitely a contender...

These guys [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/friends/NewClassic], and a few others I haven't added yet such as nilcypher, wilsoncrazybed, Aries_Split, Darth Mobius, PurpleRain and a few others I may've forgotten.

Outside of that, a couple of people on some other forums, Jeffp23 [http://www.youtube.com/user/Jeffp23] on YouTube, obviously Yahtzee, and every article writer on staff at The Onion.

my honors go to a lot of people, and it's almost impossible for me to choose conclusively as my "favorite one" rises to the surface every day, and I'm lawlling at them like mad

but, it's always one of the following:

Stuttering Craig + Handsome Tom (gametrailers.com/screwattack)
James Rolfe (angry video game nerd)
That Guy With the Glasses (everything but Bum Reviews)
Benzaie (The games that you might don't know)
The Spoony One (spoonyexperiment.com)

between those, they're all about tied.
