Recommend your favorite YouTube channels

[LostCrusader]

I always enjoy finding and sharing new funny videos, so I am hoping that with the diverse crowd here at on the Escapist forums you can recommend some interesting videos. So fellow Escapists, what are some of your favorite YouTube channels/videos?

I'll start us out by recommending a few of my recent favorites to you:

One of my favorite channels is Thew, of Thew's Awesome Transformers reviews. He's alot like Yahtzee, in that he's a fast-talking english dude, except he's usually in a MUCH better mood. He even released a trailer recently that sums up his videos quite nicely:

I stumbled across LazerFrog's channel about a month ago, but he's quickly rocketed to the top of my favorites. His "Run, Play, Think!" videos are amazing. They're simultaneously hilarious and depressing.

Both YouTube, both pretty popular gamers who enjoy playing in untraditional ways.

http://www.youtube.com/user/Niichts Also known as "STAR_", does some hilarious and downright impressive videos, mostly TF2

http://www.youtube.com/user/birgirpall Two Icelandic dudes who enjoy completely breaking apart a game by its core and playing around it. Mostly known for his Battlefield 3 videos, where he throws tons of AT mines on a jet and crashes the jet into tanks or does crazy plays using only defibrillators, then he moved on to current gen games.

And there's http://www.youtube.com/user/ashens who usually takes these novelty or phony devices and messes with them, but everyone knows Ashens.

CinemaSins [http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYUQQgogVeQY8cMQamhHJcg], in which a guy nitpicks movies in a comical fashion.

TheHiveMinded [http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxJjt-2awzHOcZsPg2kIVnw]. Comical MMO reviews that give a decent measure of the game.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Recently I've found myself never able to miss a video from SeaNanners (I'm sure most of you know who he is).

I like his videos because they are crazy stupid fun. And because they are so short, they are oh so sweet.

Basically anything funny and under 15 minutes is ideal. Birgirpall is another good example. His recent Star Trek video gave me a coughing fit from laughing so much.

Well, there goes two of the people I was gonna list. The only one left would happen to be http://youtube.com/user/BrutalMoose. Just funny videos in general, very much in a PeanutButterGamer style.

Off the top of my head, I would recommend ThatOneVideoGamer, also known as the Completionist. I also enjoy the Continue Show.

Completionist 100%s various games and sort of reviews them in his own comical style. His partner, Greg, adds some hilarious commentary to the videos. Together they are a great mix of awesome.

The Continue Show is three friends sitting down and playing about 30 minutes worth of a game. They make funny commentary, mock each other, and crack jokes. In the end, they state whether they would Continue or Game Over based on their first impressions.

Completionist can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ThatOneVideoGamer?feature=watch
Continue Show is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ContinueShow

The continue guys even make some great videos unrelated to their show.

Definitely ffstv

The first episode of their Heavy Rain playthrough made me actually laugh my ass off (I miss my ass...)

 

[neonsword13-ops]

I've got a few.

1. STAR_ - He does TF2 commentary and also does a series called Basically, where he takes the newest games and talks about them in a silly manner. He's very laid back and doesn't take stuff seriously, which I like.

Spoiler

2. Smooth McGroove - Acapella remixes of your favorite video game songs.

Spoiler

3. BroTeamPill - Loud and obnoxious "reviews" with some... creative wording. His shtick is that he takes himself too seriously while making himself sound hardcore, but he goes over-the-top with it. I love it.

Spoiler

4. MatthewPatrick13 - Does a series called Game Theory. He goes in-depth with, well... game theories and tries to solve them using SCIENCE! Really interesting stuff.

[Eddie the head]

Well this first one is a two in one the guy he is talking about is likely my favorite but the guy talking is good as well.

Spoiler: Grappling Ignorance

If you are looking for something a little more funny, or not an atheist, then MrBTongue.

Spoiler: MrBTongue

You might know him if you payed any attntion to the Mass Effect 3 ending controversy.

[a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/DMJared"]ProJared[/a] is amazing. Does great reviews and Let's Plays with [a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/PeanutButterGamer"]Peanut Butter Gamer[/a] and he's hilarious! I found about his YouTube stuff just a bit before he was fired from Screwattack.

[a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/sortedfood"]Sorted Food[/a] is a cooking channel hosted by 4 English guys with 3 being absolutely hopeless in the kitchen and one being a trained cook who teaches them (and everyone else) simple and tasty recipes. The guys are funny and seem like they'd be a lot of fun to hang out with.

I've got a few.

Damn, ninja'd. Smooth McGroove has gotten a lot of attention recently, with Smosh highlighting a lot of his videos. It's kind of like how Eric Caldrone (erock) got on his feet.
Also, Mat Pat! Game Theory is magnificent!

 

[fletch_talon]

There's never enough Yogscast in these threads, and I rarely see anyone mention BarelyPolitical and their (Key of) Awesome song parodies.
Barats and Baretta don't update frequently enough to be a favourite but some of their videos are absolutely hilarious (I found them when someone here posted "Mantage").

Seriously though, the Yogscast: generally fun to watch, always funny not always spectacularly so, but when they hit the right spot, damn do I ever laugh out loud.

 

[ninjapenguin1414]

Two best friends play is probably my favorite on youtube right now always quality stuff from these guys.
http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSw1tcher

Miles923 aka Max is basically the best when it comes to a variety of fighting games and comedy.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Miles923

Necroscope86 has been doing lets plays for quite awhile and I've been watching him for years.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Necroscope86

Snake is a British LP'er that screams a lot at horror games but always brings quality and isn't a one trick pony like a certain other screaming person on YouTube *cough* pewdiepie *cough*.
http://www.youtube.com/user/pyschadelicsnake

ENB is a go to guy for quality vids about the Soul's series and much more.
http://www.youtube.com/user/EpicNameBro

Not many videos but this guy has some really good opinions on the state of gaming.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Alarmhat

Probably the funniest game reviews I've seen on youtube, at least if you like sarcastic humor.
http://www.youtube.com/user/TheGamingBritShow

And I believe thats all I got right now

Its stupid humor, but it gets me every time. Especially Petters on the low

[Dangit2019]

Brian Firenzi's sketches are some of the smartest ones on YouTube. He's part of the 5sf team, and he was the Law in Video Game High School. I recommend his "Brian Firenzi Reviews Movies" sketches.

Aaron is hilarious and you should check out Fallout for pimps.

http://www.youtube.com/user/blamesocietyfilms

Kind of the same folks. I've never laughed as hard as when I'm watching Beer and Board Games. Seriously, check it out, it is just some gold old-fashioned mindless fun.

 

[Nooners]

I'm once again going to promote my own channel.
www.youtube.com/comicstripcritic

I talk about newspaper comics like Calvin & Hobbes, Dilbert, Garfield, and plenty of undiscovered gems.

Am I any good? Well, the creators of Foxtrot, Zits, Baby Blues, Lio, and Retail all wrote me to say how much they liked the show. Hope that counts for something.
