recently i've been enjoying lute and dennis ljeti , they have some work ive enjoyed on videos game with fun jokes

i rewatch hazel a lot LOL

cj the x is one of my favorites; they are COMPLETELY unhinged

No Face Is An Incelthis is one of my favorite videos to use to introduce people to them

KLDFJDF THAT TITLE ALONE

In Defence of Breaking Dawn Part 2this is my favorite video of theirs though i think

RIGHT????

oh my god hell yes thank you

on the other end of the spectrum, bobby broccoli does scientific documentaries

he's REALLY good at breaking things down in a way that even someone like me, who is not even a little scientifically-minded, can follow

THIS IS PERFECT

The man who faked human cloningthis is the video i found him through

alexander avila was featured in hbomb's plagiarism video is how i found him; he has an archive of the Are They Gay series where he queerly analyzes different media, and a bunch more much longer videos

likes this plurk to come back to later

This Video Isn't Just About Taylor Swift. It's About...this is my favorite of his non-Are They Gay videos

hbomb, sarah z, and jenny nicholson are classics; if you're not familiar i can pull up specific recommendations but i feel like most people probably are

Why Do Gay Men Love The Golden Girls?i haven't seen many of matt baume's videos but he was in the queer video essayist playlist hbomb put together post-plagiarism video and i really enjoyed this video in particular

lily simpson does a series of The Trans Episode, where she analyzes mostly one-off trans representation in various tv series

A Brief Look at Twilightshe also has this four hour long video essay on twilight

A Brief Look at Harry Potterand then this video essay on harry potter where she goes "listen, we've talked about how horrible jkr is enough, and instead i am going to dunk on every facet of the worldbuilding i possibly can" and she proceeds to do that for TEN HOURS

god bless you are a lifesaver

super eyepatch wolf is not nearly as unhinged as cj the x but they set a high bar so when i call him "unhinged" i do still mean it. his riverdale video is classic and got a HILARIOUS follow up recently, but i also really enjoyed this video on the simpsonsRiverdale: The Show That Went Completely InsaneThe Simpsons is Good Again

ive seen the simpsons one it was so good!! oogh

the jacob geller videos i've seen lean a little more philosophical than i tend to go for but i was ENRAPTURED by this one in particular; i've been meaning to go through his archivesNothing Ever Stops Existing

it's not a video essay but I've been really enjoying seanie dew's 100% videos because they're just unhinged in a really delightful wayI 100%'d Cookie Clicker. It Ruined My Life.

fd signifier goes through media and culture from a very intentionally Black perspective and this three and a half hour long video on the drake vs kendrick lamar feud going WAY back from the perspective of someone who was there for even just the ways hip hop formed to allow for this to happen was SO goodI'm What the Culture Feeling

castforms: oh my god hour long video on cookie clicker im screamink

it's an hour well spent

oh lady knight the brave has all sorts of good media essays but this one was my favoriteLightning in a Bottle - a M*A*S*H* Video Essay

OHHH this is the youtuber whose hill house essay i watched when i was really curious about the series but too weenie to actually watch it myself LMFAO

nidorina I have put on the 10 hour harry potter video for work today. thank you

ENJOY. I REALLY LIKED IT

lily has this very like deadpan way of expressing things that manages to still be super engaging bc she's got great comedic timing and is just overall a great writer
