Hello
So it looks like summer in the city is coming around again this year.
It's 3 weeks away. We're getting pretty close.
Which is really exciting and especially because I took my glasses off.
That's how you know things get exciting on this channel
They're having these awards coming up, these Summer in the City awards
where viewers that are going get to vote for their favourite YouTubers for different categories.
Now the other day when I was looking at the categories,
I realised maybe I could win some of these but then I was like
no, because there's definitely this YouTuber that I would personally vote for.
And I realised that for every single category, there was someone else that was better
Which is good. I mean the best way to stay humble on a platform
where you're literally just uploading videos is to realise that
you're never going to be the very best like no one ever was
cause there's always going be someone better.
But to make you feel better, there's always people that are worse. I mean, right?
I like to stay in the middle. Stay grounded, and also stay slightly off the ground.
Stay in the normal, my horse isn't high, OK?
I'm riding on a pony.
Anyway, this is quite a big tangent.
Today I'm going to be giving out some of my own versions of these awards
to YouTubers that I think make really good content that I think all of you should watch
A lot of people have been asking me to do this type of video for a while, so
Here we go, real chill, not scripted. Lets go.
Lets take a moment, that tangent was so long.
What was with that tangent? OK, I'm sorry, lets...
I just went on a tangent about a tangent.
My first award is for YouTuber series of the year and
without contest this goes to Adrian Bliss for his recent series Vlune
If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it
All the YouTubers and videos I recommend will be in the description below
Basically what Adrian has done is
he's made a really good satirical look into daily vloggers
Every episode is super meta
and because, obviously, I'm a YouTuber
I'm going to like videos that take the piss out of YouTubers.
It's really well done. If you watch every episode you'll love it.
There's a good story over-arching in the background
It's based on his earlier work Vlogvember
Which also is so good
It's such a good series and if you haven't watched either of those, I highly recommend them.
That gets my YouTuber series of the year award.
Congratulations Adrian. If you want, I'll get you a coffee, maybe.
Or I'll get you a vegan sausage that's not actually vegan. Just call me.
My next award is for YouTuber song of the year
I've listened to loads of different songs from loads of different YouTubers in the last year
and sadly Shane Dawson's song "Famous YouTuber"
didn't make the cut because it was out in 2015.
Even though I love it. I love the piss take against YouTubers
You can probably tell who I'm gonna pick for this award just by looking at my face
It's "My Face" by Doddleoddle, Dodie Clark.
No, it's not my face. My face didn't win.
My Face is a song, if you think about it.
Dodie Clark's song My Face is beautiful
so pure, so innocent. So many beautiful harmonies
She's an angel that makes angelic music
and if you haven't hear the song My Face by Dodie Clark yet
like I said, all the stuff is in the description
please listen to it, it's an amazing song and it's won my award
for best YouTuber song of the year.
By the way, you can feel free to disagree with me in the comments if you want,
this is just me using the excuse to be nice on the internet.
My next award is for funniest YouTuber of 2016
And this may surprise you, maybe
You maybe never have heard of him, but his name
is PewDiePie. I really, really think he's hilarious
Every video that I've stumbled upon in the last couple of months
has made me laugh out loud. I love his dead pan sense of humour
I love the sarcasm, it's so spot on
and I love how honest and real Felix is about his videos.
He's not trying to hide anything,
he's really transparent about everything
and I just love him, I love his videos
PewDiePie for me is my funniest YouTuber of 2016
Next up is my favourite educational channel on YouTube
and there's loads of channels like this
there's math, science and history
But one of them stands out to me so much
because there's nobody talking throughout these videos
It's a channel called Primitive Technology,
it's so interesting and it is actually educational.
You can watch a man build a grass hut
out of nothing, using nothing but primitive technology
A man builds a bow and arrow, a sweet potato patch
at one point he literally knits a rug
out of nothing but stuff that you can find outside
It's really fascinating. Sometimes you just sit there and watch and watch
and you can't stop watching, it's so interesting
and it is educational if for some reason you find yourself out in the middle of the wilderness
maybe you'll remember this guy's videos and
you can build yourself a chimney
into a grass hut, who knows?
The YouTube community, especially in the UK
are really big on making these little cliques of friend groups
that make different styles of content
people who make vlogs, people who make short films
Sometimes they're enemies and sometimes they're friends
But I like it when they're friends, and speaking of friends and short films
my favourite short film of this year
Was a short film by Sammy Paul
starring Bertie Gilbert and crabstickz
and Tomska, called Friend Like Me.
I really like the short film, it had a really good story,
it was shot well, and like I said the story was good.
The problem I find with a lot of short films on YouTube
are that the cinematics are beautiful and like
the acting is pretty good, but when it comes to the writing
it falls flat, but with this one
I really liked it, it made me laugh
and it was a really good story
If you haven't seen Friend Like Me yet I highly recommend it.
It gets my short film of the year award
Out of all the awards SitC is giving out
This is the only one I feel like
maybe applies to me.
Because, like I said, even though
the YouTube community likes to separate themselves into little cliques,
I kinda see myself as above that
in that I don't like that at all
I'm friends with anyone regardless of what they make
I want to be positive about everyone regardless
But there is someone just like me
who's very positive and kinda doesn't give a crap about any of that
and his name is Tomek.
If you don't know Tomek, he shot my video Home
that I uploaded a month or two ago
A lot of you really liked that
He's a very talented film maker
He also shot PewDiePie's new video
which was a song called BroFist
He's very good and when it comes to
helping other YouTubers out
he's the first one to provide
help to me if I'm having problems colorizing my videos
If you didn't know this, I live in a room that you might
not be able to tell at this point
The walls are green
They're actually white, but because my windows are green-tinted
this whole room is green man
And so I always come to him for colorization advice
when asking for advice
and he always helps me out. He helps me with colorization
with any editing tips that he has
He's a great guy, he helps a lot of people out
And that's why Tomek is getting my community award
and if he wants to collect it
it's probably gonna be a cup of coffee
or a flat white or something
so come on round to where ever I'm living by the time you watch this.
Yeah we're trying, yeah we're breaking free
This award goes through to the breakthrough YouTuber
The YouTuber that's been like YouTube algorithm
what's that. I'm gonna make what I want
and I'm going to explode onto the scene
Her name is Connie Glynn, Noodlerella
She is probably known by you at this point
She had nothing last year
she was just kinda doing what she was doing
And this year she's just smashing it
She's just killing that YouTube game and
her videos are ace.
She's a good friend of mine. If you've not seen any of Noodlerella's videos yet
I'd be very surprised, you should watch that right now
Because there's not a star in heaven that she can't reach
Cause if we're trying, she's breaking free
As you know, I took the glasses off. We're getting serious
[Laughs]
Please be sure to check out Noodlerella
She's definitely a breakthrough vlogger of this year
and if she doesn't win that award at SitC
I'm gonna be surprised
cause there's no one more deserving than her
Next up is YouTuber book of the year
I'll be honest, I've not read any YouTuber books this year yet
so if you have any suggestions for who should win this award
please leave them below. I haven't had a chance to read any of those yet
I've been too busy reading Lord of the rings
and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
Compared to the normal vlogging scene
there are not many travel vloggers out there
I've been very passionate about travel vlogging for the past 2 - 3 years
and I very much love it
and I Iove making friends with other travel vloggers
Recently I came into contact with a travel vlogger
that's just been killing it
doing so well, and he doesn't really know anyone
He's just doing what he loves doing as well
and his name is Josh
His channel is Exploring with Josh
This guy goes to loads of abandoned places
Like he went to this abandoned church
He's gone to abandoned schools
He's gone to this really really scary
creepy forest in Japan
The dude just makes really interesting videos and
if you haven't seen his videos yet, I'd highly recommend checking them out
He travels to loads of cool places
and explores lots of abandoned places
So be sure to check him out
Normally I don't watch many YouTubers
whose content relies on video games
only because I'd rather play a video game than watch someone do it
That's just me, I understand the value of it
However, there's one YouTuber whose content isn't really
playing them as much as it is reviewing them
and usually they're really weird video games
And that's JonTron. If you haven't heard of him
He's hilarious, he's one of my favourite YouTubers
He doesn't make videos as often
He's not really on a schedule
but when he does
Oh my gosh, the production value
everything is just so good
It's so funny. I recently ran into him at VidCon
and got to apologise for embarassing myself
in an airport when I ran into him and I was like
JONTRON. Cause YouTubers can be fans too, OK?
But he's a lovely guy and his videos are top-notch
So I'd like to give him the award for best video game related YouTuber of 2016
My next award goes to best YouTuber news show
I've been watching this next YouTuber for over 8 years
That's longer than I've been making content myself
and I think they're the only YouTuber
whose videos I subscribed to 8 years ago
that I'm still watching regularly in 2016
That's because with every upcoming year
this person will update their content
They make what they want and the still
They play the game, they know how to and they know how the beat the algorithm
And they still make what they want. I've a lot of respect for this person
The winner of this award is Philip DeFranco with the Philip DeFranco show
Phil's style is usually just finding interesting news segments
throughout the day and then giving his opinions on them
and usually I agree with his opinions on them
And so, that's pretty good
But sometimes he challenges the way I think, which is always good.
You should never listen to someone who'll only tell you what you believe
cause you'll never grow as a person
I like that about Phil
He kinda breaches all sides of an argument
so he can find out what is the true consensus on a situation
So if you've not seen the Philip DeFranco show yet
I've been a big fan for so long
and I'm very surprised I've watched him for this long
It kinda freaks me out, like wow
I'm pretty sure out of everyone I've ever watched on YouTube
he definitely has the most watch time from my account
So there's a lot of videos on YouTube that you've probably seen before
You may not have seen that from this person, but you're like
Oh, I remember when this person did that video.
There's one YouTuber though
whose content is very spot on and very original
and for this award, most original YouTuber
I'm gonna go with TheThirdPew
He's hilarious, he makes really insightful videos
He never shys away from anything controversial
He's always spot on, I love his content
TheThirdPew is hilarious
I remember I started watching him a year ago
when he made such a funny video about VidCon
that I was literally in tears from his jokes
Very funny, and very original
Please check out Nathan's videos because he's the best
And lastly, the moment you've all been waiting for
Evan Edinger's vlogger of the year
goes to
Dodie. I mean, slightly biased I guess
But I just love Dodie, and I love her content so much
It's perfect. She has two brands, you could say.
She makes music on one channel and she's just open and honest on the other
It's just a perfect blend of human being
I love Dodie, she's such a good person, she makes such good videos
that if you haven't yet, based on my recommendation to listen to her song
please just check her out, she is so good
Her channel is Doddleoddle and Doddlevloggle
And that's my award for vlogger of the year
Like I said, if you've any different opinions
please leave them in the comments so I can know
Also in other news, you may not see this background too much more
which is a bit sad beacuse it's so perfectly symetrical
and I spent so long making this so nice
But I'm moving very soon
In fact, you may see a couple of different backdrops
because next week I'm moving to Brighton for 2 weeks
because I've no where else to live
But Brighton is nice, I like to be near the beach at summer time
And then after SitC I'm going to be moving back to London
to my new flat with some friends
So that'll be really exciting
I hope to show you guys that new flat and do a little room tour
but the anga will never be the same
Rest in peace lonely flat, rest in peace.
Thank you very much for staying up to date
and watching my videos. I'm still humbled by the fact so many of you still watch.
I'm very thankful, I make what Iike
I'm so thankful that you're here
Hopefully if you follow my recommendations
you've got a lot of new YouTubers to watch
so good luck
If you did like this video, you could give it a thumbs up
You can also subscribe to me cause I make new videos every Sunday
I'll see you guys next week. Thanks for watching
Goodbye
Oh hello, so Summer in the City is coming about this year
Your mother is also coming about, if you know what I mean
I'm sorry
Lets go through the EvanitC awards
E.. Evan....Awards
The Evanly awards
Cause I find you all to make Evanly content
I know drama is the thing that gets views
So maybe we'll throw in some drama at the end, who knows?
Hey guys, braincheese here and I wanted to tell you
I've found the cringeiest YouTuber ever
That's right, cringeiest YouTuber
He's a cancerous [quack].
His name is Evan Edinger. I just [quack] hate this guy.
He's just so annoying.
