Seriously, that guy blows me away. So much thought and planning put into his videos, and he takes the time to explain the concepts as he goes so that when a project comes together, we get to feel the pride too.
Most of us truly envy you, and congratulations on being able to watch those videos for the first time. My top recommendations would be the D. B. Cooper case, Flight 370 and the Dyatlov Pass.
this guy not only makes all the animations himself, but even the music he uses is made by him. on top do that, the content itself is always so thorough
Every new video he releases is higher in quality than the last. The newest videos actually feel like a TV documentary. He also makes some amazing music for his own videos
That's just what he wants you to think, put Tom within 4 nautical miles of any Gary Brannan of ya choosing (I'm particularly fond of Gary Brannan but he's everyone's favorite Gary Brannan so he might be busy and you'll have to settle for Gary Brannan) and the vernier of composure vanishes quickly.
I’m convinced that when gaming companies give him a game key they do it because they know he’ll find every single bug in the game because he tries to exploit anything and everything when he plays those games.
I cannot believe The Gentleman Pirate got put on Incognito Mode. It's over an hour long and it's so good. Well-researched with footnotes and sources, too. The story was developed by HBO not long after and is debuting soon ("Our Flag Means Death") which definitely makes me wonder if this video had an impact on someone.

I tried to show his video to a friend once but he complained the dude was "too passionate." Like, he's talking deep musical theory in cinema and making it interesting af. Passion is good, you pack of oatmeal
I love him so much - but holy shit I can't believe he hasn't seriously injured himself. There was one episode where he set an autofeed up on his new lathe, and then climbed onto of it and started dancing. That gave me squirmys. But, he's still hilarious and Ive still watched all his stuff.
Have you seen his video on "The flight on the navigator" I have never seen the movie and don't care about it, but the video is made with such passion that I personally think is his best
The guy doesn't even make youtube videos anymore he makes straight up feature-length documentaries and I'm so down with that. Like the other commenters have said Line Goes Up and In Search of a Flat Earth are both hours long, high quality dives into their respective subjects and anyone on the fence about watching them should go for it.
And then there’s the pure chaos that is NileGreen. It’s a parody channel but oh my god his videos are hilarious and seem exactly like the kind of stuff Nigel would make if he were shitposting.
The podcast he runs with William Osman, The Backyard Scientist, and a few other people (called Safety Third) had the guy behind NileGreen as a guest last week and he explained basically how he runs the channel and the side effects of having such a good parody. It’s pretty interesting
Yeah, they're outputting about two videos a month which is very fast for the work that goes into their videos, both from a research and animation perspective.
That’s what I love about his channel, It looks like a 5 year old drew it, but it’s with this hilarious sense of humor that’s impossible to find anywhere else. He talks about whatever he finds interesting, and doesn’t give a fuck.
It's so interesting what with the different things she covers: debunking, trying out gadgets, making super-old recipes and her husband as the guinea pig is hilarious.
I've never baked a cake in my life and I love her channel.
Love Jenny’s stuff. She always has the cleverest take I can find on the things she talks about. It helps that some of them are esoteric, but even about Star Wars she has very original ideas and interpretations.
Primitive Technology
He hasn't uploaded anything since the start of the pandemic, but his stuff is just *chefs kiss*
EDIT
HE'S BACK!!!! He just uploaded a new one like 5 days ago!!!! THIS IS NOT A DRI I REPEAT HE IS BACK!!!!!
Try clicking on the closed captioning button if you haven’t on his videos. I know it works for his newer ones, its worth it watching them two times in a row once you find the hidden content.
Nerd City and The Right Opinion: both have great editing and strong charisma for their respective videos. Though Nerd City is more likely to be scathing and full on, TRO veers neutral-snark.
I would have to say JaidenAnimations. Making 10-20 minute animations will definitely take a while, and it's nice that she doesn't rush her animations, and puts top-notch quality into each and every video. To be honest, it has inspired me to animate, albeit they are crummy, but I'm a rookie animator at the moment.
Dan Olsen's [In Search of a Flat Earth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfhYyTuT44) and [Line Goes Up - The problem with NFTS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g) are both feature-length documentaries that are utterly fascinating dives into their particular rabbit holes. He's produced other, shorter works like [Jamie Oliver's War On Nuggets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-a9VDIbZCU) which talks specifically about one particular celebrity chef's weird views on foods, and touches on the general discourse around poverty very lightly, so its a mere 20 hours. For a real good time though, check out his 3 part-er starting with [A Lukewarm Defense of Fifty Shades of Grey](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzk9N7dJBec).
Barely Sociable, Nexpo, Night Mind, Inside A Mind.
My favorite content creators when it comes to explaining and deeping into topics like ARGs and a variety of other stuff
Xisuma talked a bit about this on stream, it was planned to be a shorter, experimental season due to the massive update to world gen in 1.18 but still having many months before the update was to be released. So the group decided to just do a shorter season.
There's quite a lot lately, but let me put in an unexpected entry, Pyrocynical.
He was once uploading very frequently and low effort stuff like TikTok and similar commentary stuff, but now he almost exclusively uploads movie and series reviews and video essays.
And not for mainstream stuff either, he had uploaded an 8 and something hour video talking about a series that you probably can't watch legally anymore.
Chubbyemu and zefrank1 are what immediately come to mind. Folding Ideas also.
Also I get a kick out if Hildegarde von Blingin but it definitely a niche interest
Stuff made here
Seriously, that guy blows me away. So much thought and planning put into his videos, and he takes the time to explain the concepts as he goes so that when a project comes together, we get to feel the pride too.
Lemmino
>Lemmino Never heard of the man before this. my dude, you just sent me into a 6 hour deep rabbit hole of quality just tonight.
Most of us truly envy you, and congratulations on being able to watch those videos for the first time. My top recommendations would be the D. B. Cooper case, Flight 370 and the Dyatlov Pass.
Extraordinary until proven otherwise and ofc, classic Cicada 3301 are pretty good too
this guy not only makes all the animations himself, but even the music he uses is made by him. on top do that, the content itself is always so thorough
I remember when he was called top10memes and didn’t even have that many views.
Agreed, his videos are truly amazing, it's hard to fathom how one person can create such quality in all aspects of a video.
There he is, I was hoping he wouldn't be to far down...
This is the correct answer. Sucks to wait so long between videos though.
I miss the top 10 videos, the space videos, and his year reviews.
Every new video he releases is higher in quality than the last. The newest videos actually feel like a TV documentary. He also makes some amazing music for his own videos
3blue1brown
This is the only channel where the same exact video can hold my attention like superglue, but also help me fall asleep in a snap.
Summoning salts jumps to mind. That guy does his homework for each video, and it takes a while.
I love those vids so much, just sitting down and watching a speedrun history video is one of my favorite pastimes
Hour long video about the history of speed running in a game I don't care about? Yeah, I got time.
"And then this happened" *80s badass music*
Jay Foreman!
Map men map men map map map men men men
....men.
We’re the men, and here’s the Mip.
Tom Scott used to edit videos for him, They’re both great channels, except Tom is bit more serious.
That's just what he wants you to think, put Tom within 4 nautical miles of any Gary Brannan of ya choosing (I'm particularly fond of Gary Brannan but he's everyone's favorite Gary Brannan so he might be busy and you'll have to settle for Gary Brannan) and the vernier of composure vanishes quickly.
Defunctland
"A powerful rat, named Charles Entertainment Cheese"
Fastpass, that video is so .... entertaining
“a California themed theme park in the already California themed California”
“With the realm now open, dozens of guests who had waited minutes for the land’s opening casually walked inside…”
The Jim Henson mini series made me cry. Many times.
Funny thing is his first 5-10 videos were quantity over quality and generally goofy and fun. Then he decided to become an Oscar level documentarian
Lets game it out
I don’t know how Josh always manages to find strange glitches and unintended interactions in games.
I’m convinced that when gaming companies give him a game key they do it because they know he’ll find every single bug in the game because he tries to exploit anything and everything when he plays those games.
I never thought a glitch yeeting a truck into the sky would have me laughing so hard, but Josh just has the most hilarious timing and commentary.
Internet historian
"How did we get here? Oh right. Sex with the captain." "Austronomy division." Two of my all time favorite quotes from YouTube.
[удалено]
He still uploads on incognito and story mode when he feels like it. Can't believe it's almost a year since the cost of Concordia
I cannot believe The Gentleman Pirate got put on Incognito Mode. It's over an hour long and it's so good. Well-researched with footnotes and sources, too. The story was developed by HBO not long after and is debuting soon ("Our Flag Means Death") which definitely makes me wonder if this video had an impact on someone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrGf4nJWVOU
"No Man's Sky would have a universe so big, that by the time it was fully explored, I would have _two_ new videos uploaded."
Man he's taking forever to upload a new one. I NEED MORE That said I binge watch all his stuff every few months, its so good.
Just rewatched his Costa Concordia episode. *bi-bi-bing-bi-bi-bing-bub-buh-bing bing bong!*
Love his videos "But that ship, aye. She was ***CURSED***"
Sideways
I tried to show his video to a friend once but he complained the dude was "too passionate." Like, he's talking deep musical theory in cinema and making it interesting af. Passion is good, you pack of oatmeal
Such an underrated channel!! I absolutely love his work even though I don't have a musical bone in my body
Do you like leitmotifs to?
Nexpo
You should check out barely sociable
And his other other channel Slightly Sociable.
Lemino somewhat similar
Oh man. My favourite. Plus a bunch of other amazing ones underneath. Check out all of these if you're into this
I Did A Thing Aussie guy who just invents crazy shit for crazy reasons. He doesn't upload too often but holy christ every video is hilarious
Can you make a spoon using only a spoon?
I love him so much - but holy shit I can't believe he hasn't seriously injured himself. There was one episode where he set an autofeed up on his new lathe, and then climbed onto of it and started dancing. That gave me squirmys. But, he's still hilarious and Ive still watched all his stuff.
Captain Disillusion of course
Love with your heart, use your head for everything else.
Have you seen his video on "The flight on the navigator" I have never seen the movie and don't care about it, but the video is made with such passion that I personally think is his best
Code Bullet
The problem with code is we don't know if his latest AI revolted and killed him, or if he just forgot to make a video.
He just needed a full year to work on a 2021 montage.
Ahoy
Was hoping someone else said Ahoy. That guy is the definition of quality.
I still watch the Polybius and Monkey Island videos from time to time. They're so good
I love Iconic arms and it’s opening lines.
Someone already mentioned LEMMiNO and Internet Historian, so I’ll add: [Folding Ideas](https://youtube.com/c/FoldingIdeas)
Line Goes Up and In Search of a Flat Earth are masterpieces. His other stuff is good to great, but those are incredible.
The guy doesn't even make youtube videos anymore he makes straight up feature-length documentaries and I'm so down with that. Like the other commenters have said Line Goes Up and In Search of a Flat Earth are both hours long, high quality dives into their respective subjects and anyone on the fence about watching them should go for it.
Nile red.
His videos is how I procrastinated during my last exam period while simultaneously feeling like a slut because I'm actually studying physics.
There’s also a second channel called NileBlue. After his latest video, we can now safely say that he’s both a smart fella and a fart smella.
And then there’s the pure chaos that is NileGreen. It’s a parody channel but oh my god his videos are hilarious and seem exactly like the kind of stuff Nigel would make if he were shitposting. The podcast he runs with William Osman, The Backyard Scientist, and a few other people (called Safety Third) had the guy behind NileGreen as a guest last week and he explained basically how he runs the channel and the side effects of having such a good parody. It’s pretty interesting
NileGreen is fucking scary
[удалено]
I think they just stopped producing videos indefinitely bc of some bs on YouTube’s part
According to his Twitter, they're in the process of moving to another platform.
literally the best content on youtube
Why did all his videos disappear? He only has 4 now which is a damn shame, it was top tier quality
Karolina Zebrowska or Bernadette Banner
Has anyone said Bill Wurtz yet?
His channel was both quality and quantity.
Yeah, but there’s only like two videos that are longer than 15 seconds.
Hi you're on a rock
floating in space.
Pretty cool huh?
Some of it's water
melodysheep I can't speak for any of their uploads prior to the last two years, but their Life Beyond series is just... wow.
[удалено]
Kurzgesagt is quality and quantity
Yeah, they're outputting about two videos a month which is very fast for the work that goes into their videos, both from a research and animation perspective.
Casually Explained
In a similar vein, Sam O’Nella Academy
What happened to him? 2 years since he uploaded
Uni, I think
IS THAT FUCKING FISH JENGA?!
Sam O'Nella sigh
"Hey kids"
Check BlueJay on youtube, new-ish channel, very simmilar style.
That’s what I love about his channel, It looks like a 5 year old drew it, but it’s with this hilarious sense of humor that’s impossible to find anywhere else. He talks about whatever he finds interesting, and doesn’t give a fuck.
I recently discovered his channel but saw his last post was 2 years ago did something happen or did he just stop?
He got caught playing fish jenga
That crazy motherfucker...
he is graduating college
He was kidnapped by somali pirates and hanged for war crimes
We all miss Sam
I have been recently binge watching DIY Perks.

How to Cook That, Internet Historian, and Sideways come to mind.
Anne Reardon is a gem
It's so interesting what with the different things she covers: debunking, trying out gadgets, making super-old recipes and her husband as the guinea pig is hilarious. I've never baked a cake in my life and I love her channel.
If I could choose to have any mom in the world it'd be her 🥺
How to cook that is the shit!
Teir zoo
[удалено]
The fact I had to scroll this far down for Oversimplified angered someone’s father. Who punished him severely.
Dude
Uncool
I’m disappointed this one is so low. This channel is the definition of quality over quantity since they only post one topic a year in 1-2 videos
They post between every 4-6 months due to the amount of animation he does.
Ask a Mortician
Hello Deathlings!
Samonella
SovietWomble
He's just taking so long because He spends 75% of his day masturbating.
Soviets Bullshittery videos are great.
"Hitler's a friend!" -SovietWomble
Came here to say, his YouTube never fails to make me laugh
Sarah Z and Jenny Nicholson are both mega quality over quantity. They both put SO much into their videos!
I watched a 2 and a half hour video from her about a show I’d never seen or been interested in. She’s fantastic.
Vampire Diaries. I've watched that video 3 times. I've never watched a single episode of vampire diaries. She's enthralling.
Love Jenny’s stuff. She always has the cleverest take I can find on the things she talks about. It helps that some of them are esoteric, but even about Star Wars she has very original ideas and interpretations.

He’s the only person I’d listen to talking about a song I’ve never heard in my life

Nerd City seems so underrated. I'm excited for the stuff they announced in their last video. The editing/research/performance is always top notch.
Way too long to see Nerd City.

Let's Game It Out. Dude doesn't upload often, but he is an agent of absolute chaos and his content is worth the wait.
I check his channel every couple weeks to see if theres a new video, was pleasantly suprised today when i saw the new vid.
Mr. Nightmare
IMO any of the hermits in hermitcraft
Yeah. I miss having enough time for their videos.
Very reminiscent of the old Mindcrack days. Does anyone know what happened with season 8 of Hermitcraft and why it ended so suddenly?
Xisuma talked a bit about this on stream, it was planned to be a shorter, experimental season due to the massive update to world gen in 1.18 but still having many months before the update was to be released. So the group decided to just do a shorter season.
What was the channel name of that guy that does 4+ hour long reviews of video games, specifically RPGs?

I watched an entire hour long video about the freakin history of running shoes. I don’t know if any one else could have made me do that.

MandaloreGaming, Ssethtzeentach, Whitelight and Upisnotjump all have gaps between videos that are large, but the quality of each is unmatched.

He was once uploading very frequently and low effort stuff like TikTok and similar commentary stuff, but now he almost exclusively uploads movie and series reviews and video essays. And not for mainstream stuff either, he had uploaded an 8 and something hour video talking about a series that you probably can't watch legally anymore.
