Shane Dawson has been by far my favorite Youtuber since I was about nine years old, and that was eleven years ago. I’ve seen him in his early days of filming all the way up to now and he has never disappointed me. I’ve always wanted to meet him and one day tell him how much he has meant to me. Although I can’t really do that, I can at least make this semi-well written article about my undeniable love for him.

1. He will always make you laugh

Shane Dawson has an…interesting sense of humor, and by interesting I mean completely fucked up, but hey, that’s why we love him! He doesn’t mind joking about taboo topics and he loves to be self-deprecating, as do I so it works.

2. He’s adorable

As much as Shane Dawson tries to convince his viewers that he is a hairy disgusting ball of nasty, he just isn’t. He’s adorable and I smile every time I open one of his videos.

3. He’s real

When shit hits the fan, Shane Dawson will always be real with his fans. He doesn’t like to hide things from us and he doesn’t like to lie, so you always know that what you see is what you get with Shane, which is awesome!

4. His relationships

You can always tell the quality of a person based on his relationships with those around him. He and his mother are very close, sometimes a little “too close”, and his romantic endeavors have been nothing but loving, even if they don’t end up working out.

5. He’s fucking crazy

From microwaving a bag of Doritos to waffle-ironing a Barbie doll, Shane Dawson will always be one of the weirdest people on the internet, but that’s okay because we love him anyway.

6. Dat hair doe

Emo swoopy hair and fuck-boy short-cut, this man knows it all and he works each one so FIERCE.

7. Uno

You used to not be able to have Shane without Miley, then there was no Shane without Corny, now there is no Shane without Uno. Shane Dawson will always be the owner of the cutest dogs in the world.

8. He’s a good person

Although I’ve never met Shane Dawson in person, and I only have seen what he has allowed me to see, I truly believe he is a good person with a good heart. He sincerely wants everyone he knows to be as happy and blessed as possible.

9. His faith

Shane Dawson doesn’t talk about religion or faith a lot, but the times that he has have really resonated with me. As a Catholic who is deeply faith-filled to have someone like Shane to look up to is so wonderful.

10. He makes me feel less fat

I mean, let’s be honest, Shane Dawson eats everything in sight, so I really love just turning on YouTube while eating so I feel less like a huge lard of disgustingness. Yet, he still stays so skinny…how!
