Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
For gaming channels, I enjoy Jeremy Parish's videos. Always informative, always level-headed. Been a big fan of his work even before the YT channel. Also I assume everyone appreciates some Classics of Game.
For the "talking head reacts to content while my partner and I sit in voice chat" videos, I watch Danny Gonzalez and Kurtis Conner.
For food crimes, I am often subjected to Roll for Sandwich and Cookshow with Trevor
And for the healthy dose of existential absurdity, I watch Man Carrying Thing skits.
I think those are my main non-3-hour-essay rotations.

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
Jeremy Parish (along with the podcast he hosts Retronauts) has done wonders for my knowledge of video games, especially since in recent years and I would 100% recommend it.
If you like Parish's console dives, Atari Archive is doing the Chrontendo thing for the Atari 2600. Creator Kevin Bunch has since become a regular on Retronauts. The 2600 is an era where it's easy to dismiss the games for being inscrutible or lacking in depth, but Kevin does a great job of showing the appeal, as well as looking into reviews from when the games were new. Plus comparisons to similar games on other consoles, including some really obscure ones like the Fred?
CathodRayDude/GravisLizard is probably well known to anybody here with even the slightest interest in retro tech. He checks out devices that are more interesting than "Computer that runs DOS/Windows". The "Quick Start" series on laptops with fast*-booting* alternative* OSes* to get around Windows Vista-era sluggishness before SSDs were affordable shows some really wild things.
[sub]*dubious[/sub]
Defunctland is another well known one, primarily focused on Disney theme park history, but there are plenty of other videos covering things like the history of the Muppets, as well as various children's TV shows like Bear In The Big Blue House or Under The Umbrella Tree. Really well put together stuff.
Furry Found Footage looks at old obscure cartoons and commercials with furry characters. A lot of it is framed as "My favorite <species> in media", but it's well researched and not just "ha ha look at this weirdly attractive cow that sells cookies in The Netherlands". But at the same time you will find some crush material.
Retro Game Mechanics Explained is exactly that. The creator is also a furry you may have run into here and there. It gets pretty technical, but you don't need to understand assembly to get techniques explained enough to appreciate. I really liked the recent look at how Super Mario Bros. 2 stores its level data.
RetroPals is a VOD archive for Danny and Alex, America's favorite gamers. They play pretty much anything Retro, and have a great sense of humor and knowledge of what they're getting into. Plus ranking mascot platformers! The YouTube channel is I think entirely Twitch VODs, but I usually watch here in bits and pieces rather than trying to commit to a multihour stream while it's live.
The McElroy Family is the channel for those 3 brothers who really had their heyday in the 2010s, but I've yet to stop listening to their comedy advice podcast My Brother My Brother And Me or their tabletop RPG liveplay podcast The Adventure Zone. There's a lot of great stuff in here, from the more well known Monster Factory series where they go to town in various games' character creation systems, to their more recent for-Youtube stuff which includes playing a number of old video games with the three of them sharing a single controller.
There are several 24/7 MST3K livestreams that are good to put on in the background, though all too often I wind up actually watching the bad movie when I don't intend to.
New J Channel is a 24/7 stream that's nothing but songs from 70s/80s era Japan. A lot of neat City Pop songs, some unexpected covers, and a ton of incredible album covers.

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
Random Stranger focuses on the Japanese side of retro gaming has a catalog of videos covering the Famicom, Cassette Vision, Super Cassette Vision, and is currently working on the PC Engine. He's also got a number of side videos like covering a whole bunch of train games and bad Japanese books on the 200 Games You Should Play Before You Die.
Basement Brothers is also a channel that focuses on the Japanese side of retro games, but they have two specific niches: The Neo-Geo and Japanese Microcomputers like the PC-88, PC-98, and X68000. The two hosts are actually brothers who live in Japan.
Punchy is a speedrunner who also does a lot of random gaming essays such as beating Resident Evil 2 without walking or What's the lowest ranking you can get in Silent Hill 1
Technology Connections is a Midwestern US tech enthusiast who does a lot of tech based videos on random things.
EXP is a Expert Reacts channel hosted by Dave Jewitt formerly of GameSpot that is probably known for hosting videos in which him and Firearms Expert Jonathon Ferguson go over how guns are depicted in media.
Majuular is another gaming YouTuber who's primary project at the moment is going over the Ultima series, but has gone over things like every RPG on the 3DO, William Shatner's TekWar, and FMV Adventure games.
GuileWinQuote is a fighting game YouTuber who covers a lot of obscure games and always maintains a postive attitude that all fighting games are good, even if they are kusoge.
B. Dylan Hollis does a lot of very good cooking videos and is very gay.

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
Gaming:
Majuular: already been mentioned in this thread but giving him a second mention. Started out as a JRPG reviewer but has since fallen into a rabbit hole of video essays on retro PC games, including reviews of FMV adventure games and his current primary project, a retrospective on the entire Ultima series. Informative, funny, interesting.
MandaloreGaming: reviews of new games, old classics and obscure random things from the late 90s to mid-2000s. Brilliant mixture of humour as well as genuine indepth review and analysis. Particularly excellent during the vague Halloween period (September-ish to November-ish) when he traditionally reviews some real incredible trash: past Halloween highlights include Limbo of the Lost and Mystery of the Druids.
Noah Caldwell-Gervais: what if your charismatically dry university professor did a lecture deep diving into a particular title or series.
(you may have noticed at this point that my preferred type of gaming Youtuber is long-form reviewers who never show their face. There's a bunch more of these types I subscribe to as well...)
Other:
Internet Shaquille: no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point cooking tips and tricks with great and witty presentation and minimal amounts of typical career-Youtuber nonsense. A lot of focus on Mexican food in particular but goes beyond it as well to just everyday handy knowledge for everyday home cooks.
Oddity Archive: videos going through all kinds of random archival media, from salvaged old cassettes to C-tier sitcom pilots and hand-me-down vintage tech. Just fascinating little windows into curiosities that at one point in time had a place in this world and now have been forgotten.
Todd in the Shadows: kind of assuming most people know of him already, but he's one of the few music reviewers I actually subscribe to on YT. Reviews of current chart hits (and analysis of the state of current charts), peppered with special episodes on classic car crash flop albums and looks into the histories of one-hit-wonders.
Amoeba Records: Amoeba is a legendary record store in the California area (well, three record stores to be specific), and their YT channel basically consists of an ongoing series of What's in My Bag where artists pick out albums from the store and talk about what they are, why they picked them and any relevant (or not) anecdotes. The quality of the videos depends a lot on how talkative/interesting the artists are, but at its best it's genuinely enjoyable music geekery.

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
For long-form video essays about games, I have to recommend Jacob Geller. Rather than focusing on individual games, he focuses more on overarching literary and social themes that connect various games, how those games express them, and how video games are another medium for expressing human thought rather than just...games. Very engaging style of writing and very insightful way to consider the medium from angles you otherwise might not.

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
Here's some of my favorite channels that haven't been mentioned yet.
ThorHighHeels
If you want videos about weird and unusual games of the PS3 and 360 era, of the now, of the back then, she's the one to watch. Most of the games she's talked about I've heard of before but they don't get much love. She's my biggest inspiration as an aspiring creator.
grimbeard
grimbeard makes long playthrough and analysis videos of whatever game he seems interested in. He's really insightful, really funny, and also loves rats. He also makes bomb ass goth industrial music.
f4mi
Ambiguously European tech reviewer (I think she's Italian. The info is probably publicly available) f4mi focuses on obscure tech from the early 2000s while also dipping in to some modern stuff. They've covered things like Keitai, HD DVD, early music streaming, and how to fight AI on YouTube. Great stuff.
hazel
Hazel writes video essays about growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s and the things most of us were exposed to then. They always make me feel a certain kind of ennui.
Planet Clue
Clue covers a lot of late 2000s toys and games. He's from a slightly younger group of millennials and tends to focus on things like tamagotchi, iDog, Webkinz, etc. Is that millennial stuff? Is that zoomer stuff? I don't fucking know. Time means nothing.
HPRshredder
HPR primarily covers old famicom games, and when he talks about a game that came out in the west he discusses both versions. His stuff is pretty insightful, and it's all coming from a place of learning, which I find very refreshing.

I'm cursed to be garbage at soulslikes despite on paper liking them and a lot of this guys videos make for an interesting watch with his self imposed challenge runs, but the thing he seems to be doing more of these days is big videos on games that are """"soulslikes"""", either tangentially or close to the definition (or just cool looking stuff) and my steam wishlist has blown up so much from watching all of those

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
Some very good mentions in this thread. I have some additions.
Accursed Farms = the Youtube channel of Ross Scott, champion of StopKillingGames.com . Ross' Game Dungeon has some wonderfully dry and insightful commentary on obscure games. My first exposure to ZTranslate.
Brutalmoose2 = This is a link to their side channel where they post archives of the games they stream, which are mostly puzzle- or adventure games. Brutalmoose has a main channel which sometimes covers games but has strongly diversified into other topics such as lost media and food.
Chips n' Cellos = Chiptune music, usually for NES hardware. Some of you are probably listening to this, right now.
Displaced Gamers = Deep-dives into game hardware, discussing the programming and the hardware that went into older games, often with examples of hacks.
Earlybird = Covers weird or horror games from the sixth-generation era.
GAMECADE by NCS_Artist = Furry animated series about a video arcade at a mall. Relevant to your interests.
How the Beverly Hillbillies Changed Everything = You're welcome.
Mammal Squad = Short animations about twenty-something furries. Mandatory viewing, if you want to stay friends with me.
MarphitiumsBlackimus = Deep-dives into first-person shooters such as Half-Life.
Betsy Lee's "No Evil" series = Long-running animated series about Americana fantasy. Unspoiled by progress.
OboeShoes = Yes, it's another of those 'let's look at vendor trash games' sites, but the presenter does have a sincere love of gaming. Sometimes there's a pleasant surprise, like "Strange Brigade". And sometimes there's the outsider-art fun of someone's personal indie game made with little to no compromise.
OneShortEye = More information on LucasArts and Sierra Adventure games than you require.
Allison Pregler = aka "Movie Nights", reviews of popular culture ephemera, especially fandom-based television shows such as Baywatch, Charmed, and Supernatural.
RainWarrior's Sidechain = The creator of Lizard for NES and of the SNES Shadowrun hack with mouse support. Very ASMR.
SuperGreatFriend = One of the SA OGs, SGF has been streaming for close to two decades now. They specialize in story-telling games, usually puzzle or FMV.

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
I'm not subscribed to that many YouTube channels since I have enough trouble keeping up with my feed, but here's a couple that I like:
TheRealJims focuses on video essays about The Simpsons, including character histories, season retrospective, and episode reviews, all presented in a slideshow format with chill music. But what really sets this channel apart is how it outright rejects the common fandom consensus that the show isn't worth considering beyond its "golden era" and will champion episodes beyond the first fifteen seasons or so. One of the best videos he's done was "Jerkass Homer is Dead", which highlights how Homer's characterisation has actually changed with the times, and that his Jerkass Period only lasted a couple of series (but ended up sticking because this was when lots of fans dropped the show).
Chris Spargo has been filling the void left by Tom Scott by travelling the UK and making interesting videos about obscure British trivia, such as the history of pedestrian crossings and why we have a standardised colour scheme for milk. I remember watching his video about how there's benchmark symbols hidden all over the country, then went for a walk and managed to find three of them near to where I live. (He also made
many decades ago).
Marcel Vos is a Rollercoaster Tycoon expert who has uploaded lots of videos that go into detail about obscure mechanics, such as whether it's worth having janitors mow the grass (it's not) or how guest pathfinding works (it's complicated). He also does self-imposed challenges and has repeatedly set records for the longest possible rollercoaster, including one which will outlast the universe itself.
Errant Signal is my personal favourite of all the Video Game Essay channels on YouTube. He's done some great analysis of games such as Fortnite and Hotline Miami, and isn't afraid to call out the likes of Far Cry and Bioshock Infinite for their cowardice. More recently, he's been slowly working on a series called Children of Doom, which tracks the history of the first-person shooter year-by-year, and recommends obscure indie gems which have something interesting to say.
Corey Beepington started uploading vlogs four months ago about a sentient CRT called Ace that somebody apparently gifted to him. It's very cute and Ace's face is really expressive, but there's also a darker undercurrent with these videos:

There's even some ARG elements with links to fake sponsorship websites with hidden lore. Very curious to see where this channel goes next."Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love."

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
Excited to see a lot of the posts in here! I'm a big Video Essay Dork, so I've got a few I'm keen to share.
To start with, I love the channel PandaMonium, who's going through the arduous task of reviewing every Sega Saturn game ever released in the United States. They've got great production value. a great style of writing and spoken delivery, and most importantly, real, earnest passion behind their work. It's a documentary and a review as much as it is an act of video game preservation. In particular, I adore their video on High Velocity/Touge King, in which they give you the context of not just the devs behind the game, but the times they were made in, the subcultures that would have influenced their decisions in game design, and more. Pandamonium doesn't just show you the game, he shows you the people behind that game, and that's incredible. I'm still working through their channel slowly, but their Touge King video in particular is a real point of inspiration for me.
Another great Video Essay/Review/Preservationist minded youtuber I love is Dungeon Chill, who has a taste for older and more obscure games in the puzzle and dungeon-crawler variety, go figure. He actually helped me find Devil Spire through one of his videos, which is a strong old-school dungeon crawler I would recommend. In particular, I love his Cosmology of Kyoto video, and his LSD Dream EMulator video, in which he specifically credits the dream diary of the woman on the dev team that ended up actually informing so much of the visuals and design of LSD itself, both a different take on LSD and a great way to give credit where it's due for such a unique game. I'm currently playing Graphical Limbo from the LSD Jam 4 myself, which has roots in LSD!
RagnarRox is another great Youtuber who covers games of the JRPG and Horror variety that are often the cult classics, historically important to him in terms of his love for survival horror, and even things like really intensive fan projects including recoding games through software for the purposes of localization to make them more accessible, such as the crazy work in Aconcagua and Baroque. The appreciation for the immense amount of work these fan projects can entail, the attention to detail he sees in the games he plays, and even the flaws of the imperfect but beloved pieces of work these games are to him is always on display, and he uses his own platform as a means to show off other indie games he feels deserve more attention. All around a great guy who makes me love loving video games.
If you're more of a Doom or Boomer Shooter guy, then you'd probably love Civvie 11. His writing is a bit more freeform and crude, but it fits the genre and era of the games he covers well. Humor accents the foundation of what is clearly a lifelong love of the FPS genre, and this guy does his research. If you love jank, the good and the bad kind, then you'd probably get a kick out of Civvie going through it. He also has animated bits in Unreal, which I was told he had taught himself so he could add more to his video productions. As someone trying to learn Godot on top of Blender and DavinciResolve, props. His Daikatana vid is probably one of his more well known vids, though a personal favorite of mine is when he plays Chasm: the Rift for the first time. His mind is blown as the secrets of it's engine reveal itself to him.
Another one I'd really love to share is Maraganger, or just mara. She's got a more freeform but very introspective style of writing, and often will go deep into how she loves seeing the way a developer's ideology will affect how they design their games. She's a big fan of more surreal game devs, like Suda 51, which you can see here in her Killer 7vid, as well as surrealist games like Planet Laika. I love the way her personality comes through, oftentimes it feels like I'm listening to an alternate reality timeline of myself, and her visual editing is a fucking treat, especially if you're a fan of UI design like Killer 7. If memory serves, she also speaks about how her own queer and poc experiences influence her thoughts on her playthroughs of the games, notably in the Planet Laika video.
And last one for now, in keeping with game essayist style vids, I also love Super Bunny Hop. He's got an actual journalism background, having worked in the newspaper, before becoming a youtuber and streamer making his own content. His voice even carries his journalistic background through as he goes into video games, game industry, and sometimes even non game related things in his videos. His video on Umurangi Generation is one of the ones I remember fondly, and if you want some super dork core stuff, he did an entire reading of The Illiad by Homer. I really like how he explains how a cross country bike trip gave him a greater appreciation for the gameplay mechanics of Death Stranding, and exactly what it means to physically transport all that weight with your body alone.
I've definitely got more in me, but for now these are the ones I haven't seen mentioned and wanted to shout out myself. Was very pleased to see Basement Brothers on here, as they're a personal fave, introduced to me by a good friend (She also introduced me to Dungeon Chill and Pandamonium, damn girl!). If you haven't seen their video on Sorcerian, I highly recommend it. Rusty is a banger episode too, and I'm happy to have a glimpse into this world of gaming that existed before I was even born.
There's also this weird fish guy who's trying to make stuff like the people posted above. Maybe he'll get there some day, but he's certainly trying to!
To start with, I love the channel PandaMonium, who's going through the arduous task of reviewing every Sega Saturn game ever released in the United States.

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
When I used to watch more food channels on youtube I realized that most people were just showing recipes from Americas Test Kitchen anyway, and I vastly prefer the more dry PBS style of their videos (which are mostly just sections of the show) rather than more... youtubey presentation. Big seconding Netshaq though, great stuff there.
Something vastly different would be "Sumo Food", the official youtube channel for the Futagoyama sumo stable. Videos are usually some combination of their morning practice, cooking, eating (lots of eating, probably a pass if you don't like that), and just generally insight into what it's like doing professional sumo. If you like that kind of thing, some other stables have similar channels, but Futagoyama was the first to do stuff like this and easily the most well known for it.

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
It probably says a lot about me that a ton of YouTube channels I enjoy are essays or "edutainment" oriented.
Auto Schenanigans has a bloke drive around the UK and sardonically tell you things about roads and petrol. He’s kinda like one of those train YouTubers but for motorways.
Jago Hazzard has a bloke train around London and sardonically tell you things about railway lines and rolling stock. He’s kinda like one of those car YouTubers but for the London Underground.
Benjamin Partridge is an award winning comedian who hosts/cohosts several comedy podcasts, but for some reason his YouTube channel consists almost entirely of Magnum ice cream reviews.
Chain Bear makes video essays about Formula 1 and motorsport, usually to explain some piece of technology or weird application of the rules. They’re pretty calming, and proved quite useful when I was first getting into F1. (Channel is on indefinite hiatus, but it's still a neat reference/backlog.)
Mr V’s Garage makes a heady mix of extremely-over-the-top-elaborate videos, as well as general news and info, about formula racing. Would Formula 1 be better if it used the same points system as Scrabble? He's made a video about that.
Junkball makes short video essays about stupid things from Star Trek and if that doesn’t sell you then there’s probably nothing here for you.
Eddache makes animated video essays about animation. Also sometimes non-animated things.
FUNKe makes cool, animated video essays about video games (and somehow the band Weezer without ever actually making a video about Weezer).
Noodle, like FUNKe, makes hella enjoyable animated video essays about video games (and sometimes other things).

Marcel Vos explains and breaks the RollerCoaster Tycoon games of my youth.
The Infinite Review seeks to post a video review about everything in the universe ever. It might take a while.
Linus Boman makes videos about design and typography, ranging from history lessons to conceptual redesigns. Videos don’t come often, but they’re always exceptionally well produced and presented.
Squirrels at the Window. It has squirrels. We like squirrels.
This is just a copy-paste of a list I already keep on my website, which intentionally focuses on smaller less-known channels. I still watch and love some big ones though, especially big-in-the-2010s channels like NerdCubed, TomSka (and friends), The Yogscast, and Hat Films.
I also mentioned watching The Proper People in the longform YouTube content thread, for their ASMR-like urbex videos.

Clue is also on my list! There may have been a familiar name in the Patreon credits for his videos for quite a few years now.SlushieCat wrote: Tue Jul 15, 2025 9:29 am Planet Clue
Clue covers a lot of late 2000s toys and games. He's from a slightly younger group of millennials and tends to focus on things like tamagotchi, iDog, Webkinz, etc. Is that millennial stuff? Is that zoomer stuff? I don't fucking know. Time means nothing.

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
The channel of Matt J. Wilson is a treasure trove of good stuff.
More recently they've been doing some really great review videos, touching on the topics of animation and/or indie games. They've done a few huge indie game roundup videos that break down upcoming titles, and I adore those videos because they alert me to titles I would never know existed otherwise. I've found more than a few new favorites from their suggestions! They also do in-depth looks at individual games, movies, or anime series which dive a little deeper into each, and I've liked how straightforward and earnest their analysis is, regardless of topic. It's pretty easy to tell if your tastes align with theirs, and they're pretty up front with "X isn't for me, but if you like Y it'll probably be up your alley".
However, beyond reviewing media, Matt is also a really talented animator. Their channel also hosts a LOT of their original animation. They have a number of different series on their channel if you dig back far enough - Most notably Deadly Space Action! and Puzzle Hunters (among many others!)
If you're of a certain age, and spent a lot of time watching webtoons back in the mid-2000s, Matt's name may be familiar for a VERY specific reason. They're the creator and animator of the cult classic webtoon Bonus Stage. And incidentally, not too long ago, they released a 20th anniversary special

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
a lot come to mind but my go to rare legendary pull youtube series when people suggest we watch a youtube video is the "pretty good" series by jon bois. its labeled as just "a series of stories that are pretty good..." thats all! so naturally it covers a range of topics, and is notable for getting me a non sports fan to give a fuck about sports. my favorite episode is the first i saw the one about poker. this episode contains a lot of the essense of why im obsessed with competitive games especially card games.
some other favorite youtubers are hbomberguy, jacob geller, noah caldwell gervais, fd signifier, fredrick knudsen, brutalmoose, sarah z and nakey jakey... i consider everyone listed above to be THE GOATS as a zoomer who watches too much youtube :3

Secret Base in general is probably the only channel I will watch regarding sports content (that is not batters getting beaned). Specifically their Weird Rules series is also very good.Araphel wrote: Fri Aug 01, 2025 3:27 am a lot come to mind but my go to rare legendary pull youtube series when people suggest we watch a youtube video is the "pretty good" series by jon bois. its labeled as just "a series of stories that are pretty good..." thats all! so naturally it covers a range of topics, and is notable for getting me a non sports fan to give a fuck about sports. my favorite episode is the first i saw the one about poker. this episode contains a lot of the essense of why im obsessed with competitive games especially card games.

Re: Favorite YouTube Channels
We generally dislike youtube videos, but other than some mentioned we have one channel we just hop into sometimes.
Manly Badass Hero will thoroughly play every single indie horror game, dryly comment through it, say 'yeah I liked this part, didn't like this part so much' be extremely relaxed the entire time despite the name. Indie horror is a fascinating pool of brilliance and garbage so we just get hyperfocused on seeing what bullshit is out there periodically and this is our fave way.
