Red Mosquito

So, after I got a TV with a built in YouTube app, I've gotten into watching a lot of YouTube content, mostly in the form of 3-10 minute videos. I log in about daily and watch new stuff. There's a list below of what I've subscribed to. Anyone have other suggestions? I'd like to find more that give brief explanations/summaries of current issues, but any suggestions would be cool.

My favorites are green.

VICE and Cartoon Hangover are my favorites.

I realize this is my failing and not VICE's but their videos are longer than my attention span.

I thought about posting this in the "What are you currently watching on TV" thread, but it didn't seem right. So, this is a thread to post about what TV shows you are watching on YouTube.

I'm currently watching Dr Katz on YouTube. Earlier I was watching CrossBalls.

pro-war songs

That's not a TV show, Lenny.

i do what i want when i want

I really feel like Dr Katz should be a little tougher on his son Ben.

This YouTube comment makes me laugh a lot and I just love it:

king kong 2005 was my sadest movie I ever watch because of the lizard attacking the girl and the sound afefects of the lizard dieing it make my cry.

nerdwriter of course
Channel Criswell is also great
Redletter of course. Their reviews kinda suck, but they are still funny.
Jenny Nicholson is pretty funny, too
This guy does great comics essays.
I don't follow much anime or manga, but this guy kinda makes me want to.
lots of great philosophy lectures (and some dumb public talks.)
school of life
cliffs notes versions of books like 48 Laws of Power
Proko's drawing tutorials

music:
Insane Cherry Animal Covers
Auralnauts
r e t r o w a v e

I dont subscribe to anything, but I love the hell out of Jangbricks

The youngest Weaseling is wanting me to create a channel for her so she can upload all the cool videos she's made over the last 2 days. I'm kinda hoping she forgets about it. She's 8 and I don't know that I want her out there.

Oh Lindybeige has some nerdy history stuff.

Youtube has been really shitty lately. No communication. It wouldn't surprise me if the top youtubers get organized and move to something else soon.

bushman and scary snowman are my go to's along with fail army

big fan of these channels, though vsauce hasn't had much lately it seems. also their videos were starting to get really long and in depth - tough to absorb in bite size chunks like i prefer with my youtube vids.

Some other sciency/learning channels you might enjoy:
Kurzgesagt
RealLifeLore
Wendover Productions
BBC Earth Lab

I've noticed a lot of videos getting longer. Some have actually referenced making videos at least 10 minutes long "because of YouTube's algorithm." Kind of a shame, b/c if I had a long attention span, I wouldn't use YouTube as my entertainment.

KaptainKristian is an awesome video that digs into brilliant minutia of music, tv, and movies. I highly recommend it.
