    There's a couple of well known channels always entertain me with humor and solid production value to their videos.

    The Internet Historian always has a wry, informative and hilarious take on weird happenings that pique his interest.
    His latest video is a mini documentary on the Costa Concordia debacle



    And of course for movie reviews, particularly for reviews of God awful movies, you just can't beat Red Letter Media.
    This spotlight on Verotika and the utterly hilarious incompetence of the movie made me laugh.

    Thanks for all the recommendations. I just add more channels I like that didn't get a mention:
    The Tim Traveller, quirky travel blog.
    Jay Leno's garage, the man probably the best collection of cars anywhere from rare steam cars to a Mclaren F1 but refreshing shows a genuine interest in all sorts not just the blingy stuff.

    🙈🙉🙊

    Kurzegesagt / In a nutshell

    Scientific and philosphical concepts boiled down to simple 10-15 minute clips for "lay" people like me :) - with adorable colorful graphics :)

    What would happen if we nuked the moon?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Two lads who blew up over the last two years

    Bald and Bankrupt, most travel youtubers are crap, this guy is not

    Rate My Takeaway, basicallly Peter Kay reviewing Fast food joints.

    Also
    The Chieftain (and of this parish to boot)
    Mark Felton for Military History
    Triggernoemtry, the whole culture war area is a crowded field but these lads do great interviews and they're fairly amusing

    Whoever said Lindybeige can **** right off :) A spoofer that people think is credible because he has a posh british accent.

    Well, Lindy has the good taste to have me as a guest appearance on occasion.

    Seriously, though, he's entertaining but a bit hit and miss sometimes and often requires a bit of verification, but he's also good for provoking further research.
    Anyway, to give a link, all things WW2 armor.

    That bald and bankrupt guy is a creep also has a condescending attitude towards the countries/áreas he is in.

    Anyways, I like produce like a pro, rick beato, guitar manifesto, rhett shull, Steve Stine, Marty Schwarz, very good if you're in to music/guitars.


  • Registered Users Posts: 625 ✭✭✭yermanoffthetv


    Definately worth checking out Anton Lyadov's chanel "The People"
    He does extreme travel documentaries to dangerous places like Somalia, North Korea and the like. Very interesting and well done.

    Like that video he had you on where you corrected nearly everything that he said? :p

    I think that's a bit unfair, he's lived there over 10 years only moving away in 2019 due to safety concerns. I've watched his motorcycle videos with Cmilk and found it quite good. I think his issue is with the growing authoritarianism of the Communist government and censorship in China, which is fair enough.

    Its well documented him and his mates on the channel are sex tourists on numerous other sites, their old pseudo names on old message forums and blogs were found out and they were stupid enough to detail their encounters online. Theres a whole subreddit dedicated to him/them that archived their posts that they tried to hide/delete once outed.

    While many are unaware and some will still watch his videos for enjoyment regardless, they're the ones funding his disgusting lifestyle.


    Are you able to share this well documented documentation?

    He's gone way too political but I don't see how he is a creep? He's lived in LA for the last 5 years or so.

    Stefan Milo does archeology videos with a twist of humour.



    I look forward to each installment. He has less than 100k subscribers, which is unreal.

    Pretty much all my favourites have been mentioned, but here's one channel I follow, even though I initially had little to no interest in the subject ..the re-building of a wooden sailing yacht.

    Watch the skillz ...with nice background music

  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,238 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manic Moran


    Oh, there aren't that many videos on the channel, but I very much enjoyed "Confessions of History". In french, but good subtitles.



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 11,096 Mod ✭✭✭✭igCorcaigh


    Horror stories channel.

    It's "interesting" in a dark way.
    Real life horror, not the spooky kind.
