I have to admit, this one is my number one top favourite. They're AI videos of kittens, but they are made with such loving attention to detail, and the fictional world they show us, although it closely mirrors our own world, is so bright and clean and utterly wholesome. I find such emotional comfort in them, and they're one of my mood resources when I'm feeling down. This is the only channel that has the power to make me drop whatever I'm doing when I get a notification that a new one has dropped.
This series is a bit racist, and I'm not entirely comfortble with that, but it's really only her use of the word 'Asian' that gives me a problem, and I realise not everyone shares my view that 'Asian' is a racist word and a racist concept. Some people are just wrong, okay? But that said, the videos are entirely harmless, and utterly hilarious. I always admire a person who can play all the roles in a multi-character skit, and Kea's work never fails to give me a great big laugh.
This talented Canadian chap makes videos about dogs. Most of them are hugely funny dialogues between God, Gabriel and occasionally Satan, during the creation of various dog breeds. For anyone in the dog world, they're practically required viewing.
This woman is absolutely hilarious. Her videos have a dark edge, but it's never seriously dark, just in bad taste, kind of thing. Her pastiches of Harry Potter are a real treat, as are the various hypothetical scenarios she portrays.
Honest Government Ads - searing political commentary delivered as satire, but so near the bone that it's basically bare facts without the dressing of polite language. A must watch for anyone who cares about our country.
This Irish man is a fat loss and fitness coach, but he does it all with kindness and a complete absence of bullshit. His wholehearted authenticity and delightfully pungent language quickly made him a favourite with me. His weight loss method really works, too.
This guy is some kind of financial whiz in real life, but the videos are beautifully sharp little scenarios that explain fundamental truths about our economy in a completely painless way. And lest you think the subject matter is dry and fit only for nerds, I can tell you his videos are among the funniest of all the ones I watch. I never fail to laugh out loud.
Not really a girl, this woman presents a daily short video, always with some beautifuly heartwarming content. New ones go up every day, mostly about animals. If you are struggling with Weltschmerz, this is the place to go.
If it is possible to love a person one has never actually met, then I love this elderly Italian man (Nonno) and his feisty wife (Nonna).
The subject matter is usually fixing something that's broken or cooking something, but it's just so full of down-home Italian goodness that it makes me feel homesick.
The best web cartoon I have ever seen. Cat Face is... well, I don't think I can even describe him. You have to watch it to understand. Why it has not become a huge cult I cannot understand.
This Canadian man is a clinical psychologist practising in Canada. There are various series of videos; I watched the series dealing with depression and it would hardly be too great an exaggeration to say they saved my life. The other big series is about anxiety disorders. A wonderful resource for anyone who's struggling.
These videos are about life in a traditional village in Uganda. They're absolutely fascinating and presented with such flair and gentle humour.
So there you have it - my hotlist. Doom scrolling unnecessary - you can use the links to go straight to the one you want.
