Conspiracy Theories - The Why Files

Funny banter - Garron (garron_music)

Crime - Coffeehouse Crime

What are you interested in? A couple of my regular watches are 'That Chapter' - which is true crimes. 'The Why Files' for mysteries, urban legends, Aliens etc. 'What Lies Beneath' for Criptids, mysterious disappearances. 'MrBallen' for dark storytelling.

Arthur Hill for the ridiculous platform roulette series.

Arthur TV and his Airplane videos.

Sorted for food stuff.

Cam Kirkham for reactions that are considerate of others, and watching old British reality TV.

Chris Klemens (not British) for unhinged street interviews.

Dancing Bacons (again, not British) for trying food around the world, with no spoken words.

Evan Edinger and Tom Scott for interesting things.

Great Big Story for culture.

JOLLY for food tasting.

Max Fosh, funny and unhinged.

Robert Welsh for make up, his twin, James Welsh for skincare. The Welsh Twins for hilarious trying things and reactions.

Li Ziqi and Danxi Xiaoge for escapism; beautiful views, calming music, traditional and new Chinese foods and crafts. It's very inspiring and subtly educational.

Chinese Cooking Demystified: fascinating videos mixing food history and recipes.

Tom Scott

Micarah Towers: unhinged costume making videos.

Erin Parsons: history of makeup, even if you don't like makeup much the visuals and history of it and anecdotes are FUN!

Ghost Town Living - A guy moved up into an abandoned mining town in the mountains of California, which he bought 6 years ago. He has loads of videos exploring the old mines and rebuilding the town. This one town is basically the reason the West coast (LA/San Francisco) is so prosperous.

B1M - engineering projects, well thought out and presented in an engaging way that non engineers can understand.

AntsCanada - a guy has been building ever larger interconnected vivariums in his house. It’s really cool and his passion oozes through the videos.

Skote Outdoors - A couple are living on a fairly remote island off Canada’s East Coast and renovating one of the 100+ year old houses. Very cool videos documenting their lives and the various projects they’re undertaking. The lady is just about to have a baby too.

Pathalerix - (Goldbound Series) A self-imposed challenge in WoW, where he can only make gold from one zone and can only open a new zone once he purchases a WoW token using the gold he’s made.

Pretty different but I always find myself coming back to these.

Gotta say I have been into mowing and clean up videos of overgrown gardens recently. No idea why as I hate mowing my lawn but there is something cathartic about them. I mainly watch flawless cleaning (London based) SB mowing (USA) M&D lawn care and MJD pressure washing (same family in Texas) the boring Chanel (Florida) and a few Asian ones that pop up. Also if you can stomach drain cleaning there is an awesome Aussie guy who is like the Steve Irwin of drain cleaning - drain cleaning Australia. The vids are anywhere from 20 mins to an hour+ and they all have loads of content way more than a months worth. They certainly pass the time.

How to Cook That. It started out as a baking channel, but turned into food investigative journalism and debunking done by a food scientist and her journalist husband.

Steve Marsh. He does travel videos with his partner. They've just done a round the world cruise on the QM2. Just laid back wandering round places I'll never go. I enjoyed their Matterhorn climb.

Today I learned Science. I love the way she interviews people. She lets an enthusiast specialist tell their story. The one about Amelia Airheart is fascinating.

I did go off him for a bit when he hired some people who used to work on Bake Off to do his camerawork and it started to look like some shit Jamie Oliver show. Recently resubbed as he seems to have gone back to the old ways.

We've been watching him since the dawn of time (his frosted tips era), so perhaps it's just because he seems like one of the family now.

Ann Reardon (How to Cook That) is another good one, but she's Australian, not British (considering the sub we're in).

Adventurous_Week_698@reddit

I loved his method for capturing the expressions of the women the moment before the goose hit him. He got some women to watch footage of a roller coaster ride which suddenly flashed up screenshots of their bank statements (which he hired a PI to obtain) in order to capture the "perfect combination of joy and concern" 😆

Mike Okay is a British travel vlogger who really puts himself into some interesting places to meet local people and understand local places. Currently in Japan but in the last 6 months he's been through rural Afghanistan and Papua New Guinea.

Mentor Pilot is an airline pilot who does really well put together videos explaining incidents and near misses, goes without saying that it covers a lot of death as a result but it's handed respectfully and the whole channel is very interesting in my opinion.

Stuart Millard is really good, does funny videos looking back on old TV, some good shows and a lot of really bad ones, plus some straight-to-VHS oddities. With a lot of added knob jokes.

Primitive Technology is a very satisfying channel where he basically experiments with building things from scratch in the Australian jungle. Silent and fascinating.

Astrum is a great channel for space/astronomy information, and Atomic Frontier for a variety of science. ThunderF00t is also fun science and an ongoing campaign to bust Elon Musk's scams.

For games, I love ManyATrueNerd, RealCivilEngineer, Daggerwin.

Great and humorous podcasts are TheBugle (Andy Zaltzman) Page 94 (Private Eye).

KEXP are great for less mainstream music from around the world.

Alec Steele is a very personable blacksmith.

Weird Explorer is a circus contortionist on a mission to sample the world's fruits.

Tod's Workshop for mucking about making and testing historical weapons.

All of these will lead you down rabbit holes. So may good suggestions in other responses, too. I agree with the suggestions of Tom Scott, Ashens, Atomic Shrimp, Colin Furze and more.

Flick Connection is a film recommendation channel that is useful if you want to use YouTube to make a list films to watch on other streaming services.

It is based on US licensing so you have to mentally add "in the USA" to the titles, e.g, "Hidden gems on Netflix" is really "Hidden gems on Netflix USA that might be also be available on a UK streaming service". I usually watch it with JustWatch open and will look up anything that interests me on JustWatch to see if it is available in the UK. He also puts up a card at the end with UK availability which is mostly accurate. But I check myself anyway.

Quite a lot of his recommendations are not available in the UK, or not on a service I subscribe to. But I have discovered a lot of films that are accessible to me that I would probably have missed otherwise.

And then he has his animated channel that is Meat Canyon where you can watch his animated videos again on various things from other YouTubers to celebs etc. Creepy but funny too.

And then he has another channel called Meaty Magic where he and his buddies play magic the gathering and get wasted. Also pretty good if you're into that.

Highly recommend. He's one of the only YouTubers I've enjoyed seeing go from nothing to now so much. His studio is amazing now and he clearly looks after the staff he hires to edit videos etc. because they put a lot of effort into making the videos even funnier.
