Favourite YouTube Channels?

I watch Youtube.com more than TV these days, here's a few of my favourite channels that I subscribe to. I want more though, what do you watch?

Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell - (Science, philosophy) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXVk37bltHxD1rDPwtNM8Q

Vsauce - (Science, maths, anthropology) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6nSFpj9HTCZ5t-N3Rm3-HA

Every Frame a Painting - (Film, art) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjFqcJQXGZ6T6sxyFB-5i6A

I'm very much into gaming so my YouTube viewing consists mostly of that subject.

Cinemassacre does gaming and movies but is best well known for the Angry Video Game Nerd.

Funhaus is a group of improv gaming comedians, is the best way I could describe it. They are under the Rooster Teeth banner.

Kinda Funny is a group of former journalists and video producers from IGN who left to form their own business.

Jim Sterling in the same vain as them went independent to much success.

Miracle Of Sound creates original music based on video games.

Outside of gaming it's just TED and TEDed.

To add to the gaming channels;

The Game Grumps - (Let's Plays) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9CuvdOVfMPvKCiwdGKL3cQ

Angry Joe Show - (Game reviews, Let's Plays) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsgv2QHkT2ljEixyulzOnUQ

I don't know how anyone finds the time, and I am retired! Too many other distractions. :D

There are some great podcast style shows on YouTube which are great for background noise, much better than listening to just the radio.

Lorenzo and Pedro - Sexy Funny Kitchen https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtbiEOgLNtaDnfksgNNuzjw

They cook recipes, and sometimes one of them takes his shirt off. And they have a cat.
What more could you want, I ask.

Thanks for following the formatting, zooo. Have a biscuit.

My guilty pleasure is GradeAUnderA: https://www.youtube.com/user/GradeAUnderA

Yes, he often just states the blindingly obvious, verging on anti-intellectual.

Yes, he sometimes behaves like a vainglorious little twat on reddit.

And some of his tirades against other YouTubers become tiresome.

But it's the angry inflections in his voice that are so appealing. Something of the Basil Fawlty psyche in him.

Also, he uses cool graphics (MS Paint) and music samples.

I don't tune into many YouTube channels, but I do enjoy dipping in and out of Mr Sunday Movies.

It's an Aussie guy who loves films and does various reviews, previews and 'easter egg spotting' kinds of things. It's all pretty swift stuff and doesn't get bogged down in any artsy fartsy waffling.
