[small]OK, so this is basically a plea for sources of entertainment...[/small]

My laptop's currently unusable and I'm waiting to buy a PC, so my entertainment options are largely limited to my android tablet. This means I can't game or watch DVDs or anything requiring Flash player, but I have been able to rediscover YouTube.

Which leads me to my question: what are your favourite YouTube channels? Gaming, geekiness, animation, rants, original series, whatever... What do you think I (and everyone else) should be subscribed to?

Personally, I just worked my way through Marble Hornets and, while far from perfect, I thought it was pretty awesome.

One of my favourite Youtube channels is a user called vash12349. He does gaming walkthroughs and I find them informative and he is really funny, especially when he plays co-op with friends or family.

I like Tetra Ninja's LPs. Since I will never be getting a Wii U it seems like the best way to enjoy the Mario/Pokemon games.

You should be following Ninja Sex Party.


Funny guys, and their music is genuinely good. Seriously, listened to this track like 150 times in the last three days XD

Agreed.

I know Game Grumps is really well known but if they're your thing they can provide quite a bit of entertainment.

I've recently been watching a lot of Helloween4545. He mostly does horror game LPs, but his commentary makes them pretty easy to watch, despite me being terrible with horror games.

BotanicSage is really good for Slam Jam mashups.

SupaGoGoMan is an old favorite, but I haven't watched much of his stuff in a while. I recommend his Shenmue LP.

A lot of my favorite channels are just fairly popular in general so I dunno about posting them here.

I really like the videos done by this Iranian guy, now living in Canada, named Mehdi Sadaghdar [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ0-OtVpF0wOKEqT2Z1HEtA]. He often hurts himself (slightly) in his videos and it's fairly cringeworthy, but it's worth it because they're mostly sciency. I think he's pretty funny. Only 25 videos though.

Thankfully, Look Around You [https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=look+around+you] is on YouTube as well, but that's cheating I guess. Isn't it on the air over in the UK?

In terms of videos made solely for YouTube, there's Did You Know Gaming [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyS4xQE6DK4_p3qXQwJQAyA] for trivia, and InbedwithJoan [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0PQi_rpWuiEApzQxRQbiRA], hosted by the indestructible Joan Rivers, in a bed. Literally. And there's the perennial favorite 5 Second Films [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG9lNhVqk9luFLxBKDzuO9g].

And of course, even though I don't touch the stuff, there's always Getting Doug With High [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGPq9AxIEXqjwjurJDdK2JQ]. My favorite episode of that is still the one with Aubrey Plaza and Alia Shawkat [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCRD7ZddPZo&list=PLTtM96PSK0tvDxputjpqs61ORQZSBNNED].

I'm personal a big fan of Inside Gaming. They have two types of videos, their full one hour streams on machinma live and the edited ones that are usually 5-15 minutes. They're comedy can be a little offensive at times, but if you can get past that they have some great comedy. It helps that the who usually plays the games is pretty bad.

(...) EDIT: OK, so that link fucked up and I can't for the life of me work out why. Apologies.
It's the spaces in the code. This one should work: Marble Hornets [http://www.youtube.com/user/MarbleHornets].

Spike and Barley [https://www.youtube.com/user/NewfZ] seem to have a pretty good chemistry. Same with Dopefish [https://www.youtube.com/user/Dopelives] and his mates when they play Mario Party games. SeaNanners [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq54nlcoX-0pLcN5RhxHyug] and those wacky folks over at RedLetterMedia [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrTNhL_yO3tPTdQ5XgmmWjA] still put out videos that make me laugh, the former doing so more regularly. Apart from them, you get the occasional upload from users like JonTron [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdJdEguB1F1CiYe7OEi3SBg] and DasBoSchitt [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCilz3PTMR4URfxq6UeRRL9Q], resulting in a pretty entertaining day.

I don't follow many channels, but I really like Meine Meinung known as moonbowmusic on youtube. They're a Japanese band that composes original songs and occasionally post covers of video game or anime tunes. They also do live broadcasts.

If you're looking for fun Let's Players tofollow, I recommend Chuggaconroy or Cryaotic, they're always fun to watch.

I also recommend any of Team Four Star's channels, because they are quite entertaining.

If you liked Marble Hornets, you should check out EverymanHYBRID [https://www.youtube.com/user/EverymanHYBRID] and TribeTwelve [https://www.youtube.com/user/TribeTwelve]. Sadly I've fallen off the Slender Man wagon and haven't kept up with any of these channels.

I know most people watch Spoony on his website, but he also puts all his videos up on youtube.
He's one of my favourite internet entertainers.

Try TheRPGMinx. Think PewDiePie, except female and actually funny and without the screaming.

Or, if you feel vindictive towards bad LPers, watch stuff from Retsupurae. It's Slowbeef and Diabeetus from SA making fun of bad LPs and Kickstarters with absolutely no mercy.

Yahtzee has a youtube channel as well if you like him. I am surprised no one has mentioned that yet.

Also Total Biscuit is pretty awesome. As in Yogscast.

I'm gonna put in a plug for RageSelect.
I like them because they are a bit different from the other lets players out there. If only because they are a bit older and they can be buddy, buddy. Though expect the healthy amount of dick jokes.
Their videos also tend to be long and have they new content everyday, so it's perfect if you were say drawing and wanted something to listen to.

I recommend PPG too, though his humor might not be for everyone. He makes me laugh most of the time, even more so than his collages.

Edit: Oh! And Jim Serling's YouTube Channel is very, very funny. He also has a weird sense of humor. He covers more obscure games on Steam, which sets him apart a bit.

And if you want more serious entertainment I like Errant Signal and Super BunnyHop. They are more analytical than hilarious, but I felt I learned a lot about gaming because of them.

I don't actually watch a lot ofnYT... But, hey... I like to think I'll be producing entertaining content.

Currently doing X-com, but keep your eyes open, "How to Survive" and a few other bits of shenanigans will pop up at random.

Capticha: "I'm cold. brr." Really? It's like, 30 fucking degrees BEFORE full-blown summer.

Figured I would add my 2 cents here.

Dead Gentleman Productions have most of their work up on youtube and I think anyone with a passing interest in table top gaming should check it out. Gamers 2 Dorkness Rising is probably their best work, but I would also recommend Journey Quest as well. That might kill a day or so.

Hey those guys are great!
I mean they play a game, create a horrid character, and most of the community love him.


The loveable ... uh, c-word.

Sure without the screaming, but she can be pretty loud.
Almost made me fall off my chair once.

... I'm not saying it is bad, because that part was darn funny.

OT:

Apart from those guys, I am obliged to say my number one homeboy.
Chilled Chaos!
[sub][sub][sub]... this totally not because I'm the number one fan/commenter[/sub][/sub][/sub]
He is the usual lets play guy, plays with Seananners, TheRPGMinx, and a whole cabinet of Youtubers. Also his good points are that he is Italian, awkward, and diabolical!

Other than him, I have a few others.
Cryaotic, Angry Joe, JonTron, and TheSw1tcher (Two/Super best Friends)
