- (FBE) So today, we're going to show you some popular YouTubers
and see if you know them or their channels.
- Oh boy. I hope I recognize them.
- I don't think I'll do very well.
You're the only thing I watch on YouTube.
- I'm not gonna do good with that.
I just don't do a lot of YouTube.
I don't do a lot of YouTubin'.
- I like YouTube.
That's my primary source of everything.
I think I'll do all right.
- I might be able to know some of them,
just via my kids.
I often hear them talking in the background,
but I don't often watch
because I'm usually doing dishes or something.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Do you know this YouTube star?
- Oh... this one, I do not.
- I do not.
- No, I don't know him.
- I recognize his face, but I don't know his name.
- He reminds me of one of those guys...
Is it PewDiePie?
- He looks like a gamer.
The kids have shown me his videos before.
- I think it's PewDiePie.
Oh wait, no, that's Jacksepticeye.
- Jacksepticeye?
- Yes, that's Jacksepticeye.
- (FBE) So this is Jacksepticeye. - "Jacksepticeye."
The name, even though it's so weird, it rings a bell.
- I've seen my 12-year-old watching this and I thought,
"Who the heck names himself Jacksepticeye?"
- My son loves him.
He has an Irish accent, I think.
Very nice voice, and he's funny.
- He's huge.
He's got a great voice too, that accent.
- (FBE) So Jacksepticeye's an Irish video game commentator
with over 15 million subscribers. - Good Lord!
- (FBE) He starts off all his videos by saying,
"Top of the mornin' to ya, laddies!" in his energetic, Irish accent.
- Yeah, he looks friendly. I could see that.
- Oh, I'll probably listen to him.
But I don't play video games,
so that's probably why I haven't seen him.
- (FBE) Can you give us your best impression?
- (lamely) Top of the mornin', laddies!
- (Irish accent) Top of the mornin', laddies!
- (poor accent) Top of the mornin' to ya, laddies!
I am terrible at accents.

- Damn, that's a cool family.
But I haven't seen these guys either.
- Rowan Atkinson or something like that?
Roman Atwood.
- Oh gosh!
Um, Roman Atwood?
- (FBE) This is... - "Roman Atwood family."
Nope, I have no idea who they are.
- I've never heard of them.
- That name doesn't even ring a bell.
- (FB) So Roman Atwood was first well-known
for his pranks online, but has now become
one of YouTube's most popular daily vlogging family channels,
where every day they post a video showing what they did in their lives,
and they average over 3 million views.
- Oh my gosh!
Why am I not doing this with my family?
- That's crazy.
That's great for them, though.
- I knew him from prank videos.
I didn't know he had a family channel,
so this is news to me.
I will have to check it out.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) So do you know him? - No.
- No, but he sure is cute!
- I have a feeling my son has seen him.
- I bet you my kids know who he is, but I have no idea.
- No, I'm guessing he's a little toy reviewer, though.
- I'm assuming he's probably about unwrap that box
and talk about the toys.
That would be cool.
- It's the little boy that opens toys.
What's his name?
He's so cute!
- I honestly think my kids have watched him
unbox and play with these toys,
and I don't know the name.
- (FBE) This is EvanTubeHD. - "EvanTubeHD."
"HD," nice tough.
- I've never heard of EvanTubeHD.
Cute kid.
- (FBE) So Evan, and sometimes his sister Jillian,
specialize in giving toy reviews and doing challenges.
As of filming this video,
they have over 2.7 billion total views on their videos.
- What?! Good for them.
College money.
- That's your college tuition right there.
- I did not know that toys reviews were popular YouTube.
- Go EvanTube! That's awesome, buddy.
Very cool.
I am actually gonna go home and watch some of your videos
because that toy looks pretty cool.

and able to make a lot of funny faces.
Here are some examples.

Nice. (laughing)
- That's awesome!
The eyes-- no, that's perfect.
- Ooh, girl! Mmm!
That's funny.
- "This filter does make me feel pretty." (laughing)
That face, actually.
- Wow, I would never make a face like that and post it.
That is awesome for her. That is hilarious.

She's so-- how she can make some of those faces is amazing.

My son watches his videos.
When he cruises down the streets of New York
on a motorized skateboard and lives a pretty cool life.
- (FBE) Casey was a traditional filmmaker
who had a show on HBO, then turned vlogger
and entrepreneur and has blown up on YouTube
over the last couple years thanks to many reasons,
including bringing a whole new way of daily vlogging
that is more cinematic in style.
He also recently sold his social media company to CNN
for 25 million dollars and is starting a new company
with them too. - Holy shit snacks.
That's a lot of money.
- This dude is gettin' it. Wow!

That's how you do it.

- Nope, I have no idea who she is.
- So it's got to do with manicures?
- I know her because of that stupid challenge,
the 100 layers of nail polish thing.
- (FBE) So Cristine does beautiful and fun nail art,
which has made her incredibly popular on YouTube.
She calls her fans "holosexuals" because of her and their love
for holographic nail art, and nail art overall.
- Oh! (laughing) I get it.
- I would never think of this one, you know,
all about nails and stuff.
That's pretty cool.

including a trend she started that really blew up her channel
called "Polish Mountain."
- You got to be kidding me.
That's... that's not altered at all?

- Wow, those are amazing.
- "Shattered glass."
I think I watched my kid do that one day.
I'm sure my daughter watches this channel.
- Oh, is that the layer thing?
That looks like something's wrong with her nails.
- It just looks like you took a gumdrop
and shoved it on the tip of your finger.
- That's the layers, the 100 layer challenge
or whatever it was.
Is she the one that started that?
- It just shows there's something for everyone.
I would never think that just doing nails on a channel
would make you so famous.

for the trans community.
- I think that's great.
I think that YouTube is a good voice for everyone.

She made that choice and I think that's cool.
That's very brave.

most subscribed channel on the site,
and have held strong to this day by still being
the number six most subscribed channel.
- Hey, that's not bad.
You start out and you're still hanging onto six
after this amount of time?
That's pretty good.

They do, you know, bring an amazing level of talent
to this platform.
- It's really impressive how these guys can get
millions of followers, you know, subscribers,
and have those people tune in to watch their videos.
And I hope it doesn't change.

This is just an awesome work.
