Roll the clip.
Ahh - YouTube really is a weird, weird place at times.
And it’s surprisingly easy to slip down into the rabbit hole and end up on the creepy
side and before you know you’re filled with that unsettling, disturbing feeling at the
pit of your stomach - yet you can’t quite click away.
Right?
Well, let’s take a look, shall we?

Kicking off at Number 5 - Memory Hole
And this literally is a nightmare of a channel, that have been uploading videos for the best
part of 4 years - and are still regularly updating content to this day.
The weirdest of which features a video of a man blasting baloney with a flamethrower,
Satan vacuuming a rug with his tongue - and what appears to be several clips of a dead
body.
Honestly, you could play this stuff for hours and your mind would probably slip into another
plane of existence.
Memory Hole have creeped so many people out that they were even interviewed by Troy Farah
from VICE - who got in touch with Commodore Gilgamesh, one of the editors behind the bizarre
series.
In it, he explained that the footage was actually the unwanted rejection clips from America’s
Funniest Home Videos - which turns out, regularly received really disturbing footage from people
that they just couldn’t use.
Memory Hole somehow got unlimited access to this entire archive and decided to arrange
it in the most disturbing way possible.
Which, I dunno guys - I’m still creeped out.
Next up at Number 4 - Benjamin Bennett
Uhhh - seriously guys I don’t even know where to begin with this channel - other than
explaining to you that there’s a YouTuber by the name of Benjamin Bennett that sits
crossed legged, stares at the camera and smiles.
For FOUR HOURS.
And he literally has 296 videos of him doing this - uploading a new video every month or
so.
He’s so dedicated to unsettling us with his creepy antics, that he even pissed himself
in one instance - and didn’t even flinch when a burglar walked in halfway through a
livestream.
He took one look at our creepy little friend, freaked out and slammed the door.
I think I’d do the same.
Well apparently, the whole point of this channel is an experiment - whatever that means, but
his simple act of sitting and smiling seems to have hammered the message home to people.
Some believe that he’s possessed by a demon, other’s believe that he’s been kidnapped
and forced to carry out this strange act.
Me, personally - I just think he wants to see the world burn.
Coming in at Number 3 - Shaye Saint John
Uhh - we’re turning up the weird, with perhaps one of the most notorious figures in internet
subculture, and the strange, perversely twisted world of Shaye Saint John from the channel
Elastic Spastic Plastic Fantastic - which originally got pulled down in 2017, yet there’s
a few knock off versions floating around.
Regardless, Shaye’s been around for pretty much a decade, lurking in the perplexing corners
of the internet.
She’s even got a MySpace page.
That’s old, right?
When she first appeared, Shaye Saint John was a supermodel who was grotesquely disfigured
in a car accident, and rebuilt her body with a collection of mannequin parts and started
to flesh out her disturbing life by uploading short clips to the internet.
It turned out that Shaye was the creation of punk artist Eric Fournier - who lived in
California.
Tragically, Eric died back in 2010 - yet the weird, disturbing legacy of Shaye Saint John
lives on.
Next up at Number 2 - alantutorial
Because yep.
It gets weirder.
Tutorial videos are still all the rage.
You know, a tutorial how to sew a button on - or a tutorial how to make scrambled eggs.
How about a tutorial on how to leak on a piece of paper.
Sorry, what?
Yeah.
Welcome to the world of alantutorial.
Starting way back when in 2011 - alantutorial began by uploading some pretty mundane and
bizarre activities which he dubbed tutorials - stuff like how to fill a tupperware bin
with dirt, how to watch YouTube online and how to make mail square.
At the start it was just some sort of surrealist comedy, but then things started to get…
weirder.
Which, many people didn’t think was possible.
It took a turn when alan’s reoccuring blue chair was knocked on the ground - which seemed
to deeply unsettle him and change the course of his uploads.
He started to get more erratic - which culminated in him being locked out of his room, and sent
him into a weird, chaotic spiral into the wilderness.
He gets captured by some unknown group that force him into a room to make tutorials for
money - where the videos start to get really, really weird.
In the end, the last we see of alan is him breaking through a small hole in the wall
and writhing around in the darkness - and that’s what appears to be the end of alan.
Thankfully though - turns out that alantutorial was a series created by artist and comedian
Alan Resnick - but still, it doesn’t make it any less terrifying.
And finally at Number 1 - Don’t Hug Me .I’m Scared
And I’m not going to lie - I absolutely love this channel, because I think it’s
one of the most original horror concepts of recent times.
If you can even call it horror - because, I still haven’t got the foggiest what this
thing even is.
Still - for all the accolades I can give it - it’s still an absolutely insane visual
mashup of a dark and twisted mind.
If you binge watch this channel - which let’s face it, won’t take you that long - then
you’ll be weirded out for the rest of the day.
Which - eh, it’s a good thing - right?
Don’t Hug Me .I’m Scared plays on the fears that we have as children, colourfully
packaged into a neat, friendly kids television show - that rapidly and without warning descends
into madness.
Released between 2011 and 2016 - it’s actually the creation of British filmmakers Becky Sloan
and Joseph Pelling - who took the otherwise friendly subject matter and drove it through
a woodchipper of graphic violence and psychological horror.
Really, it’s great stuff - give it a watch.
Unfortunately folks, that’s all we’ve got time for in today’s video - cheers for
sticking around all the way to the end.
