Wisecrack (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6-ymYjG0SU0jUWnWh9ZzEQ) is amazing, with shows like 8-Bit Philosophy (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6-ymYjG0SU0jUWnWh9ZzEQ), Earthling Cinema (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vtMwLAVmxk&list=PLghL9V9QTN0hRWpPpyh6T7_V2Nmah6rHj) and Thug Notes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJl3cEOpFH4&list=PLghL9V9QTN0jTgA1qrhWrBCB_Ln4xlVlB). I adore this channel and get excited for new episodes every week.

Thug Notes (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLghL9V9QTN0jTgA1qrhWrBCB_Ln4xlVlB) is pretty good, indeed! I also enjoy Last Week Tonight (https://www.youtube.com/user/LastWeekTonight)'s channel as I don't have an HBO subscription.

Just watched the newest Last Week Tonight (https://www.youtube.com/user/LastWeekTonight). It was quite excellent.

Vsauce for me.  All 3.

I can't say enough about how much I love the Vsauce channels.  Every single video that comes out of them is a masterpiece in its own right, in both unique and incredible ways.

A close second is Jacksfilms, my favorite comedy channel.

penguinz0 (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq6VFHwMzcMXbuKyG7SQYIg), he just casts let's play videos of terrible games.

Porta dos Fundos (The Back Door) (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEWHPFNilsT0IfQfutVzsag), Brazilian comedy skit group, and they make english subtitles for most of their videos.

Redlettermedia (https://www.youtube.com/user/RedLetterMedia), ya know.

Most youtube is crap (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64cWzSaiaWQ)

The three following links are my favourite Youtube channels in no specific order :)

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpnjlvS2zxhbNJuGNo_TxkQ (The Mighty Jingles) Late middle aged Brittish Ex. Navy sailor who makes videos about games and other things he likes, doesn't take prisoners and at his last visit to a public event, got stuck for 6 hours shaking hands and signing autographs without breakfast as he constantly underrates his own celibrity in the online tank game Community... XD

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrfKGpvbEQXcbe68dzXgJuA (Forgotten Weapons) Awesome american who showcases odd, rare and weird firearms throughout history in a very pedagogic and civil manner. Were it not for his dialect you'd take him for an upper class Britt.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt14YOvYhd5FCGCwcjhrOdA (Schola Gladiatoria) London based martial arts teacher Matt Easton showcases bladed weapons, shields and offers HEMA advice as well as discuss manuscripts and treatises of close quarters combat through the ages.

Red Letter Media (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrTNhL_yO3tPTdQ5XgmmWjA), of course. Film reviews.

Grand Illusions (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmgSO_4g6QcRzy0yFeglyA) is the home of an elderly British man who collects everything in the world, then tells us about them.

Every Frame a Painting (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjFqcJQXGZ6T6sxyFB-5i6A) talks about film and what makes a scene effective.

CosmoSpeedruns (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAhuwIvlcSpjlrJALruursQ) is Cosmo Wright's channel; an Ocarina of Time speedrunner who holds the world record on- and off-again.

Oddity Archive (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9lDb0hDCEzFcVb5t5ZNbJA) I feel iffy about; the curator's good videos are really good but then others are totally cringeworthy and awful. He's not exactly the most charismatic presenter, and you might find it hard to get into if you don't already have an interest in what he's talking about. Mostly old technology, especially related to TV and radio.

BDoubleO100 (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClu2e7S8atp6tG2galK9hgg) is a Minecraft player and general gamer who makes pretty entertaining videos. His style of presentation is laid-back and relaxed.

Most youtube is crap (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64cWzSaiaWQ)

amen, also agreed.

I like Linus tech tips (https://www.youtube.com/user/LinusTechTips), they have helped me buy some of the stuff I have (steel series 5H for instance), also you learn a lot...sometimes...

I can't believe nobody listed Epic Rap Battles of History (https://www.youtube.com/user/ERB), it's not my favorite but I think I've watched every single episode, it's a regular.

I've some gamers I've subscribed so I can watch walk-throughs instead of buying the game :P like JackFrags and FRANKIEonPCin1080p .

I've got a bunch of nerdy "comedy relives" that I've been collecting subscriptions like WarpZone (https://www.youtube.com/user/TheWarpZone), Good Mythical Morning (https://www.youtube.com/user/rhettandlink2), Above Average (https://www.youtube.com/user/AboveAverageNetwork), Happy Hour (https://www.youtube.com/user/happyhour), Barely Productions/Political (https://www.youtube.com/user/barelypolitical), Nathan Barnatt (https://www.youtube.com/user/nathanjbarnatt), etc.

I've got a bunch of TV network/series to get updates, trailers and whatnot like SNL, Tonight Show w/ Jimmy Fallon, BBC, Sesame Street (sometimes it's cool), Adult Swim, Jamie Oliver, Bolshoi Theatre (that I can only watch when they're showcasing music/ballet), etc.

I've some comedy, "Porta dos Fundos" is very "easy" comedy, I used to watch the first series of Filipe Neto but those Brazilian channels haven't been worth it imo. Here's a random Portuguese one that I've subscription with: Raminhos (https://www.youtube.com/user/raminhos) (which is already a funny name, it means twigs, or little tree branches)

PS: Oh, I just watched another portuguese comedy clip (https://youtu.be/VdpSA4sikac), it's a comedy radio show that they actually film and put on youtube, this guy sometimes writes mock songs about recent events, this one is about the wife of the famous spanish goal-keeper Casillas that has moved to Portugal to play for Porto (Oporto, a northern city and famous football club). The "pink press" kept saying she didn't want to move to Porto but her first interview says exactly the opposite lol, anyway he jokes with this news saying she can go to Madrid anytime she wants, even by train, and that Porto has awesome food and is beautiful.

Mostly I browse YouTube for music and vocaloid/danceroid, but there are a few channels I could recommend...

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKHi7M_11VJmLZSq4WNHSkg   Communitychannel.
Asian girl from Sydney who is pretty funny fairly often. Have followed her more or less since she started.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzqbfYjQmf9nLQPMxVgPhiA  emmymadeinjapan
Japanese girl living in the US. Tasting things from all over the world and other stuff. She is sort of nice in an undescribable way. Have only followed her for a year or so.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNV_lhnuDygzfrK-VGMr1Gw   Lisa Ferguson.
Young american journalist. Used to be on TYT. Have some interesting things to say.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUkt0wzOLfgmPoLAAwkbHYQ  Real Russia.
Young russian journalist from Ufa who tries to show how things really are in Russia. Interesting and fairly free from propaganda. I find it educating.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5MkxrHWkLDDnToq_ZTYGlA  Vancouver Film School.
&
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-1rx8j9Ggp8mp4uD0ZdEIA  The CG Bros.

Front line CGI and film shorts. Lots of cool stuff.
