Adventures on YouTube

So I've been doing my internship for a whole month now and you don't always have things to do. And spending a day 8 to 5 in an office with nothing to do could be some kind of torture.

With an interesting blocked websites list, I don't have access to IMDb (which is my number one favorite website to waste time) but fortunately I have access to YouTube.

So I decided to make some video/channel recommendations on YouTube for those of you in need of mindless distraction.




YouTube is of course known to satisfy every kind of taste and not everyone necessarily supposed to like the same content. However, if you are reading this I'm assuming we have similar tastes. I'm also putting an example for my favorite videos on each channel so that you can have a little taste.

 I begin my daily routine with jacksfilms usually. If you are not familiar with the channel, Jack Douglas is this guy who usually makes videos using the comments under his videos as concept. We may call it  the inception of videos.

My favorite thing about jacksfilms is (was) YGS (Your Grammer Sucks) where Jack takes poorly spelled or comments on YouTube and reads them out loud. I know it sound ridiculous when I say it like this but it actually is very funny. Unfortunately for some reason Jack decided to make the 100th episode of YGS the last one but promised to make it epic. How was that episode? I'll tell you if he ever makes it.

Since there hasn't been any YGS videos coming our way for a while, I try to take simple satisfaction from the daily series YIAY (Yesterday I Asked You) which is again a comment based show where Jack asks something everyday and reads his favorite answers the next day. It passes the time so...




If you're a movies fan like me, I have the perfect channel for you. Two channels actually. Screen Junkies and CinemaSins...

My favorite Screen Junkies show is of course the "Honest Trailer". They basically take your favorite movies and edit them into trailers that reviews them in a very funny way. And CinemaSins take those movies and point out every cliche, mistake or anything that bothers them basically in their "Everything Wrong With" series. Both channels also occasionally offers the same format with video games, TV shows or with famous brands.





For those of you have that random sense of humor, you have ExplosmEntertainment that make one of the most random animations you may find on the internet with their epic "Cyanide & Happiness" shorts.




For those list lovers I'm positive that you are already stalking the YouTube channel of BuzzFeed which has many different channels like BuzzFeedVideo, BuzzFeed Yellow, BuzzFeedViolet and so on and so  on.... It's just one of those channels you follow when you don't want to waste too much energy on brain  work.

A channel I like with a similar content is WatchMojo.com, which makes the top 10 lest about... well about everything actually. To be honest I find the content of WatchMojo a bit more satisfying then BuzzFeed list videos. If you compare them yourself, I'm sure that you're going to realize there is much more thought and research goes to the WatchMojo videos.




If you're looking for a channel that is going to make you laugh your ass off, we have Bad Lip Reading. They take movies,music videos, press conferences, everything and dub them with ridiculous stuff and they are very successful with the lip syncing too. Unfortunately new videos come very rarely to the channel.




A YouTube phenomenon I'm sure most of the people who have access to the internet ran into at least once is PewDiePie.

PewDiePie was (yes was) my favorite channel on YouTube for a very long time. I don't remember laughing that hard on anything. Unfortunately what concerns me is that I can't find the same quality and definitely not the same laughs from it anymore. However, the videos he made playing Scribblenauts will remain some of my favorites forever.




A different kind of entertainment is provided from Fine Brothers Entertainment who are famous with their "React" episodes. They also have these sitcom series but they don't peak my interest that much to be honest. But whenever you want to feel like you are 100 years old, you may watch Kids React to Technology.




Yes, this is how I spend roughly about 9 hours a day everyday. So if you have any suggestions for me, I would love to take a look at them.

As usual, thank you for reading my humble opinion.
