YouTube Video-Channels You / I Watch (like it's television)
Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2009 2:46 pm
I really wanted to bring up a few YouTube Video-makers, but the "Post YouTube Videos You've Found" isn't really for that kind of thing. YouTube has really become this thing where you watch it like it were television. I've stopped watching almost all television stations altogether because some of these Vloggers and Comedians featured on YouTube are endlessly more entertaining and more personable, and a lot of what they say is smarter than the awful writing on today's scripted dramas and "sitcoms." It's basically like a new form of Reality Television!
For instance...
If you love the humor of E!'s The Soup, which I do, you may love:
1.
Cute with Chris. Who is not actually an Entertainment-news commentator, but a comedian who hosts this kind of parody on what would probably be a family-oriented Pets Show were it to ever air on actual television, and show on some station like PBS. This guy is downright brilliant. His dry humor is hilarious and there are frequent "die-laughing" moments in almost all of his videos. Which he counts as actual Episodes of a program. Here's a good one!
Another Channel I really fell in love with when I first discovered it:
2.
The VLog Brothers. These guys are basically a microcosm duo of all those computer geeks (no offense) who blog and download all the time, and have incorporated Internet-Speak into the speech of their daily lives.
Another Channel that is a really good example of a person becoming a wonderful personality you grow to like watching:
3.
Tyler Oakley. Immediately I liked this guy because he reminded me of one of my best friends in High School. He's kind of a nerd. When I think of him, one of the first images that pops into my head is him saying "Pokemon" a lot. The other one is him saying, "shoot, girl!," because he's also a member of another, fairly revolutionary YouTube Channel:

5 Awesome Gays. This one is addictive like peanut butter and Coca Cola! Each one of the guys talk about their favorite things, least favorite things, traveling, what they're doing in their lives, and how they have been able to meet YouTubers offline.
That's also a channel where you learn what YouTube was probably meant to be in the first place - not just a place to post videos of things the users have recorded and edited themselves, but a kind of convention where it's a major hobby for these people to go around meeting each other and make new friends, etc.
Edit: For 5 Awesome Gays, the old Monday has left the channel and has been replaced. The new replacement is the 5th picture in the lineup.
Edit 2: For 5 Awesome Gays, the old Wednesday has left the channel and has been replaced. The new replacement is the 6th picture in the lineup.
