So many YouTube videos, so little time. With our curated Best Youtube Channels list, these are the Web entertainment you can't miss.
Who needs cable television when there’s quality entertainment on the Web? If you’re constantly getting links from friends about new YouTube videos and viral clips, perhaps you can be the first to share something interesting by following these awesome YouTube Channels. Categorized by archetypes, we hope these channels will be useful from whether you need instructional videos or updates of the latest news.
For the scientist
Minute Physics
Want to learn all there is about physics but don’t have a long attention span? Minute Physics makes science easy to understand with each video never going on for more than several minutes (the most is around seven minutes, but that’s a rarity; most average around 1:30). The channel helps explain everything from “What is Fire?” to the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson. Now, you don’t have to feel lost when your geek friends discuss scientific topics and easily follow along.
Nurd Rage
Scientific explanations might be cool, but everyone knows it’s the experiments that drew us all to actually attending class back in grade school. Nurd Rage fulfills those fantasies by conducting neat experiments that are probably not recommended for you to try at home. This way, you can live vicariously through the professional while still learning a thing or two.
For the web culture-obsessed
PBS Off Book
Do you want to know everything there is about the art behind pop culture-related things? For example, what’s the buzz with 8-bit graphics or Lego sculptures? Why do people freak out over viral videos and what makes Reddit so popular? PBS Off Book will explain it all to you with a new video every Thursday exploring these web-related topics.
What’s Trending
For those who keep up with the latest pop culture news, What’s Trending is an awesome variety show that discusses exactly what the title suggests. Host Shira Lazar puts on a live stream every day at noon pacific time and 3 p.m. eastern, along with some YouTube videos at its channel featuring online personalities or must-see clips of the week. The channel covers every topic related to pop culture: sports, music, movies, video games, gadgets, and more.
Next Media Animation TV
Next Media Animation TV, shortly known as NMATV, is best suited for those who enjoy WTF animation to go along with updates of the most relevant social news. The channel switches around several different newscasters, but they all narrate a varied range of topics accompanied by hilarious graphical interpretations. NMATV is based in Taiwan, so Chinese narrations are also available should you want to hear your news in a foreign language. The quirky animations have been featured in several television programmings and networks, including The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Adult Swim, and Spike TV.
For the foodie
My Drunk Kitchen
Cooking should be fun, and if you’re of legal drinking age, that fun comes along with a nice alcoholic beverage of choice with your meals. My Drunk Kitchen accomplishes both at the same time, featuring host Hannah Hart as she comedically stumbles her way to creating a dish while consuming random types of alcohol per episode. After all, doesn’t everything taste better when you’re drunk? A must watch for the modern chef-wannabe.
Cooking with Dog
Despite what the title might lead you to believe, Cooking With Dog doesn’t actually involve cooking dog meat but rather, cooking with a dog as your companion. It’s a quirky Japanese-based show with instructions on how to make intricate meals, such as cute dessert crepes, shrimp tempura, ramen noodle soup, and green tea ice cream. It’s the original Cooking Mama… plus dog co-host.
