Your favorite Youtube channels

[Foo]

So what's the weird and wonderful on your youtube channels list? Before posting, don't forget these say a lot about your social/political leanings and because it is CURRENT YEAR these will all be judged by your fellow xir. Mandatory shitlord gulag summons to follow.

Here's my list of weird:
NEOWAVE
Funhaus - Gaming silliness featuring manchildren and occasionally manchildwomen.
This is Dan Bell. - Abandoned malls, vapourwave, 90s nonsense.
bigclivedotcom - Dismantle electronics and don't die in the process. Strangely hypnotic scotsman.
Survival Russia - Can't look away TBH, dude is chill while also being a bit nuts.
Michael Cusack - GET IN THE FUCKING CAR MORTY. GET IN THE CARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Mudford
Count Dankula - UK socjus criticism and political sature.

Dominant themes:

Post yours, or don't.

Oh great, another lets-post-without-reading-other-peoples'-posts thread

Anyway, my fav's:

44teeth: If you like motorcycles, this is the channel to follow. These guys are on par with early Top Gear work but then on two wheels instead of four. They are very knowledgeable about the subject matter and a bunch of crazy fun loving faffers to boot. Very British.
chaseontwowheels: Started out as a Moto vlogger, not really that interesting, but currently he's doing his second series of "Wrecked Bike Rebuild" where he bought a wrecked motorcycle and is rebuilding it and modding it with all kinds of stuff. He's a total noob though, so he called in the help of Brian (aka Brain) who is like a walking encyclopedia on motorcycle engineering.
FortNine: Another motorcycle channel. Does gear reviews as well as motorcycle reviews. The quality of his content is unrivaled IMO.
Motorcyclist Magazine: Yes, another motorcycle channel. They are a more serious channel but with fun, high quality content. They do reviews, specials, MC Garage (where they explain various things about motorcycle maintenance) and they really do know what they're talking about. Professional level content here.
CaptainDisillusion: He's a VFX wizard that debunks all kinds of videos that went viral and are presented as being real. He shows what errors were made that gives away the fact it's VFX and shows you how it's done. Usually he recreates his own version of the video as well.
SmarterEveryDay: Should be well known by most people. Destin, the guy who runs this channel, just explores and explains many engineering related subjects, mostly fueled by his endless passion and curiosity for engineering. Gotta get smart somehow, huh?
VSauce: Hey, VSauce, Michael here!
Scott Manley: Guy that knows an insane amount about rockets, space and physics. He plays a shitload of Kerbal Space Program and does all kinds of interesting stuff with it. He also uses the game to explain real life physics and rocketry concepts.
Trolden: Gotta love his Hearthstone videos.

My top five:
Applied Science
AVE
Jackfrags

[Foo]

Oh great, another lets-post-without-reading-other-peoples'-posts thread ]

I did tho. Not my fault phpBB a shit

[Foo]

Re: Your favorite Youtube channels.... Sounds reasonable but I need ask a question, it there a quick way to get a list from Youtube?

Copy/paste from the sidebar list down the left (from 'SUBCRIPTIONS' downwards), then delete the numbers where lines have 'new videos' against them. Takes a few seconds.

Primitive Technology

Feels like he's peaked now there's re-hashes of old videos in a new area. Had a longer run than hydrooooolic press channeyl though.

[Transient]

There are only so many things you can make with mud and sticks, I guess.

[phantasmagoria]

Nah I dunno, he bought a new plot of land so he's documenting his new settlement, there'll be some more kiln fired brick houses but then hopefully he'll start iron age forging properly.

Slowmo Guys has to be a top fave but they're getting too worked up with having 4k content rather than high fps content. I hated their Super Slow Show thing too, glad they're back in their backyard.

Hah, I also used to watch ChaseonTwoWheels and I still watch Motorcyclist Magazine. I'll have to check out 44teeth.

I mostly listen to music and watch dirtbike videos, usually from the CROSS TRAINING ENDURO SKILLS channel. He's an aussie that makes some pretty good dirtbike tutorial vids, very helpful stuff and I'll admit I've learned a fair bit from his videos. I also watch videos from Graham Jarvis, super awesome dirtbike rider, honestly, probably the best on the planet.

You guys should also check out First we feast's channel. Sean Evans has these interviews he does over hot wings and they're awesome, his channel is called Hot Ones.

[Eraser]

Watch their Budget Bike Battle videos. Absolutely great stuff.

My subscriptions are Lego in the main and I truly don't remember subscribing at the time so they are years old I'd say. Think I'd better see if they are still active channels I suppose
When I watch YouTube I usually and recently watch those dash camera recordings or snippets of sci-fi movies.

Would be great if people could take some time to explain why a channel is recommended and what kind of content they serve. Just a list of names isn't all that appealing to read or check out. Hence my initial "lets-post-without-reading-other-peoples'-posts" comment.

[PhoeniX]

If you like BigCliveDotCom you should checkout AvE like Whisky and Phants mentioned - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChWv6P ... 6lgGt3MyfA

Colin Furze - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp68_F ... n9QU6phsgw - he invents lots of crazy devices and nearly kills himself with most of them
The Great War - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUcyEs ... 69RRVhRh4A - I haven't watched many but it's worth a mention as the level of detail in the videos is amazing

Casually explained - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr3cBL ... Y0F_OdFWFQ - his level of pesismism and sarcasm almost matches mine

Ozzy man reviews - https://www.youtube.com/user/ozzymanreviews - always worth a mention

To be fair, the thread title is "Your favorite Youtube channels". Not your favorite Youtube channels and why or your recommended Youtube channels. So I can only assume that everyone is simply sharing what they watch. These are not recommendations. If any one of these channel names interest you, you could always type them into Youtube to take a look.

I did and found your Mr. Moon most interesting... Here's the link

https://youtu.be/KygbaN63sLs

And to be fair, I just copied and pasted (thanks Foo) not really caring of the content. It looks like Lego so I better check for those other movies

[seremtan]

Count Dankula - UK socjus criticism and political sature.
...
Jonathan Pie - UK political satire.

these two

currently watching Dankula interviewing Chris-chan. CC is weapons-grade autism personified. like, seriously batshit crazy. s/he claims to be able to create a portal into a world of cartoons in his bedroom

[seremtan]

Primitive Technology

budget Australian Christian Bale

that tile-roofed hut was awesome, made entirely from shit he found in the bush

Dankula interviewing Chris-chan

I need to see this, sounds like a dream mashup. Like that time someone told me Rockstar were gonna make a video game of The Warriors, and I wasn't fuckin dreaming.

[Foo]

where do you nerds find the time??

I subscribe to shit when I'm drunk and end up not keeping up with most.

Funhaus, RedLetterMedia, and FirstWeFeast are the only ones where we've gone through the whole list.

I do worry that Mike will legit top himself some day. He seems pretty deep in the depths of alcoholism and depression. Channel itself is jokes tho.
