Someone had to do it.

A Definitive Ranking: Shane Dawson Documentaries
YouTube

Shane Dawson has quickly transformed himself from quirky Youtuber to documentarian, as seen in his drastic shift from splashy challenge videos to feature-length series. As he's about to release his latest doc, "The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star", I took it upon myself to definitively rank each of Shane's series. Because why not? Here it is, ranked from worst to best.

6. The Three-Part Grav3yardGirl Series

Many don't know this, but Shane's dip into the waters of documentary-making actually started with a three-part series on Youtuber grav3yardgirl, who was popular at one point but whose subscriber count drastically dipped. Shane made a series about trying to revamp grav3yardgirl's channel. Although funny at times, this series still has remnants of Shane's older, more cheesy videos, and fails to hit the mark.

5. The Return of Eugenia Cooney

Although I really enjoyed the message of this short documentary (an hour long--relatively short compared to other series' Shane has made), in comparison to every other doc it falls flat.

4. The Secret World of Jeffree Star

This was so interesting to watch purely to see how rich Jeffree Star really is. Other than that, Jeffree's rise to stardom and his controversy are handled well.

3. Investigating Conspiracies With Shane Dawson

A conspiracy video series complete with Chuck-E-Cheese pizza theories, this doc was wild from start to finish.

2. The Mind of Jake Paul

SO many people were secretly interested in Jake Paul behind the scenes. This doc really dug deep into Jake's family life and scandal, so much so that at the end of the series you could see where Jake gets some of his erratic behavior.

1. Tanacon

Ah yes, a classic. The Tanacon series truly started it all, and although many criticized Shane for being too forgiving towards Tana, watching Tanacon come crashing down and throughly analyzed was quite entertaining.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
