Hey you! So a couple months ago I recommended some of my favourite “smaller” YouTubers
but just like with black history month or gay pride I was left wondering… What about
the big guy? Who's gonna look out for the people who don’t actually need any help?
Well don’t you worry because today I’m going to be recommending some of my all-time
favourite YouTubers, regardless of their size! Now that’s equality!
Starting us off at number 10 is BriTANicK. Brian and Nick are my all-time favourite sketch
comedy inspirations and I can't even get in the mood to write a comedy sketch until I
have at least five of theirs. You will find their influence scattered all over my videos
and basically if you like me you'll like them, but I gotta put them at the bottom of this
list for almost never ever uploading. It’s like they have “actual lives ” or something. Gross.
BriTANicK - The Morning Routine
Number 9 is Ashley Mardell who is a super-creative YouTuber who always edits her videos in a
really interesting way. She talks about LGBTQ issues, drops some amazing spoken word and
generally does it in a really likeable way and aaah, she’s a good egg and I like her.
WE GET IT, YOU'RE GAY - Ashley Mardell
8th has to be Schmoyoho. The Gregory Brothers are a bunch of YouTubers I’ve been following
since 2009 when they launched their Auto Tune the News series… Which I promptly downloaded
and replayed over a hundred times each because i'm a big ol' nerd. Each of the four are talented
musicians in their own right and together they make some of the best ear-stuff on the YouTubes.
OH MY DAYUM - Schmoyoho
My number 7 is Captain Disillusion. CD is dedicated to debunking fake viral videos in
excruciating levels of detail. If watching phoneys and gullibles get put to shame then you’re in for a treat.
Miss Ping Debunk - CaptainDisillusion
At 6 we have Anna Akana. She does funny comedy sketches, she does really interesting vlogs,
she shows up at the end of Ant-Man and then I break an embargo by tweeting about it. Basically
she’s pretty great and pretty… Yep.
Politically Correct Pick Up - Anna Akana
Sliding in at number 5 is Tom Scott… Not TomSka because that is me. Tom hops all over
the world finding interesting, nerdy, weird things to make videos about. Dumb laws, computer
glitches, mysterious locations. He does the adventuring so you don’t have to.
How Green Screen Worked Before Computers - Tom Scott
My 4th favourite YouTuber is Dodie Clark, doddleoddle, dooblieooblie. My guilty pleasure
on YouTube has always been Indie musicians and whenever Dodie releases a new song I usually
find myself listening to it on repeat until everyone around me has no choice but to hate
it. You’re welcome Dodie and other people I know. I'm doing a lot of thumbs up in this video.
Paint - Doddleoddle
3rd would have to be one of the trailblazers of YouTube, Mr Freddie Wong and his squad
over at RocketJump. They have consistently pushed the boundaries of high production value,
narrative driven, VFX heavy content on YouTube and have inspired myself and countless others.
In short though, their videos are cool and funny good job! I can't stop.
Medal of Honor Cat - RocketJump
Number 2 is ExplosmEntertainment. The guys behind Cyanide and Happiness and also the
first online community I ever joined way back in like 2002, Stick Suicide. Their cartoons
are consistently dark, hilarious, and also uploaded weekly. It’s hard to express how
great they are and how much they deserve all of their success. Good job. Not gonna do a
thumbs up this time... Aww I did it!
The Man Who Could Sit Anywhere - ExplosmEntertainment
Before heading on to number 1, I gotta shout out all the honorable mentions who didn’t
make it onto this list. These are all people definitely worth checking out because obviously
I like them or I wouldn't be recommending them. Obviously.

Now. My all-time favourite YouTube person. Who has not only been consistently providing
me with entertainment but also inspiring me with their dedication to the medium, their
development as both a professional and as a human being? It’s gotta be Philip Defranco. It's gotta be.
HOW BUZZFEED JUST PISSED OFF THE INTERNET! Wow... - Philip DeFranco
As I mentioned, Phil not only inspires me as a professional given how he built a multi-channel
empire here on YouTube but also - and not to sound too condescending - as a person.
Watching him evolve as a person has also been super inspiring and that is good. So thank you, Phil, for
the years of entertainment and inspiration. You are good. One last thumbs up for you sir.
Welp! Those are my two-cents. To be honest, this list was almost impossible to put together
since my “top 10” is always evolving, but I hope you enjoy checking any and all
of the channels I mentioned. Feel free to discuss your favourite YouTubers in the comments
below or, even better, make your own video and spread the love.
Thank you for watching and I’ll see you next time. TomSka out!
