When most people think about YouTube, they think about viral videos, those one-hit wonder videos that have you belly laughing for hours. Granted that's what YouTube is for, it's also so so much more than that. Thousands of people of all different ages, sexes, with different ideas and humor gather around this media hub to make people laugh, to have you go along with them in their daily vlogs, to educate you, to fill you in on the news, all in one place.
I think I log onto Youtube four (it might be more don't judge me, this is my version of spending hours on tumblr, people) times a day, with my other social media in the morning and before bed, and maybe once or twice between that on a usual, not busy day. So, I think I can honestly say I have a vast variety knowledge on YouTubers. Here are ten (of my favorite/the most interesting) channels to subscribe to and follow, if you don't already. It is a wide variety, so hopefully something for everyone...
1. Vsauce3
All of the Vsauce channels make videos that pose scientific questions, and then try to breakdown and answer said questions- like what would happen if you were hit by Captain America's shield, or what if you were a giant? My favorite of the three channels is Vsauce3 (and I'm probably not the first to admit it might be because Jake is really cute).
2. Simply Nailogical
Ahhh, Simply Nailogical is not your average nail tutorial channel (Where all my holosexuals at!). Christine is a nail artist in her spare time and goes far beyond showing you how to do your nails. Ever hear of the 100 Coats challenge? This is the channel that started that.
Her honesty and sarcasm tied together with her attempts to show people how to do the nails she does makes me laugh every time watch.
3. Threadbanger
Threadbanger has been on Youtube for years, I''m pretty sure I've binged all of their videos...(guilty as charged). In their mini series such as Man Versus Pin, or Corinne Versus Pin, Rob and Corinne tackle Pinterest crafts in effort to find out if they actually work or not. The two are funny, witty, sarcastic and sassy as hell, all making for videos that really get down to the bottom of Pinterest hacks (WAY cooler than any description I could write).
4. Good Mythical Morning
Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning are currently in their eleventh season of the show, so they must be doing something right. The two have known each other since kindergarten, and have been partners in crime ever since (and it shows). My favorite (and I think the funniest) mini-series they do is "Will it...?", where they find out if ordinary foods will successfully turn into burritos, smoothies, or even pickles, among a large slew of other series. A guaranteed laugh from this show, I highly recommend it.
5. Jenna Marbles
How could I write an article about Youtube and not mention the Youtube queen herself, Jenna Marbles. I shouldn't even have to explain this one, just go watch.
6. Philip DeFranco
Philiy D is the man. He's got all the recent news events ready to talk about everyday with a real opinion about things. He's going to be honest and keep it real, and also make you laugh at the same time.
7. Glam & Gore
The perfect combination of sassy, sweet, and badass, this SFX channel will teach you how to do glam makeup and turn it into gore makeup (heh, get the name now?). Mykie breaks everything you'd ever need to know down thoroughly, so you'd know how to do it yourself, but I promise she keeps it interesting. I would definitely recommend now that Halloween is rolling around soon!
8. How To Cake It
Ridiculously beautiful over the top cakes. Need I say more?
9. Grav3yardgirl
Bunny, aka Grav3yardgirl, keeps it real in everything she does. Her series "Does this thing really work" and first impression Friday videos give you an honest look into things you might be curious about, but not want to buy, and her editing will make you laugh, I promise.
10. Manny MUA
Manny is a beauty GURU people. He's funny, honest, and brilliant at what he does (plus he's super cute and always makes me laugh). His makeup tutorials are easy to follow and beautiful!
