Someone had to do it.

A Definitive Ranking: Shane Dawson Documentaries

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
