Want videos on terrible obscure licenced kids games or Crash bandicoot? Well have I got the channel for you! Before 2020 his videos were fine but when COVID hit he had an over-arching plot about the world turning into bricks and it's honestly really funny! Check him out!
My recommended video
I Watched 24 of the WORST YouTube Videos Ever (The beginning of the bricks saga! Keep watching his videos from here!)

This guy makes videos about cartoons, bad movies that are actually good, Sonic the hedgehog occasionally and his burning hatred/love of Butch Hartman. He has a really nice art style and is genuinely really funny.
My recommended video
Sonic is missing

While he's more of a streamer who posts highlight videos of those streams, the videos are also really funny! He's a great editor and makes absolutely horrific miis for smash bros!

One of my favourite channels and I highly recommend it is a guy named Tom Scott.

He seems to do all sorts of random videos about tech, law, culture, history, places and language.

It might sound boring when I say it like that but he genuinely hooks you in and his videos are really interesting and presented well. Often they are quite funny too!

@ralphdibny I've heard wonderful things about Tom Scott so he was on my radar

@Jackpaza0508 nice, I just fell into his videos "naturally" from the YouTube algorithm's recommended videos so it's hard for me to say where a good place to start is. But something might take your interest if you have a flick through his vids.

I also watch a lot of clips from TV programs such as Have I Got News For You, Would I Lie to You?, QI and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. I also like bits of stand up and old sketches from The Mitchell and Webb Look and Chappelle's Show. Whatever gets recommended to me really but I love whatever makes me laugh!

Sometimes I watch clips from Joe Rogan because he gets quite a few decent guests on like scientists, actors, wrestlers, comedians, musicians.

When I'm going to sleep I normally put on clips from Jim Cornette, he does a couple of podcasts where he often tells stories about the history of wrestling and he doesn't hold back so it's often quite hilarious. He was a manager back in the day for various promotions including WWF. I'm not that interested in wrestling now but I used to watch it as a kid so hearing all these stories about the old days is really nostalgic and entertaining for me.

I used to watch these videos by a guy called Louis Rossman too, he was a repairman and a big advocate of "right to repair". Technically it wasn't that useful because I don't buy all the junk that normal people buy like mega expensive smartphones, tablets and laptops but I loved his stick it to the man attitude. I never get recommended his videos anymore so I guess he might have left YouTube.

Of course AVGN is a firm favourite so I'll tune in any time he releases a vid!

I should probably shout out my mates YouTube channel even though I've never watched it. I'll delete this paragraph if the staff say it's not allowed but I can't remember what it's called anyway so it might not matter. He does videos called Bad Creepy Pasta, I don't think that's the name of his channel though. Seems quite popular though so maybe someone will get a kick out of it.

I enjoy videogamedunkey for some lighthearted gameplay clips/game chat. Very low brow, low impact viewing but his recent ghosts and goblins clip had me in stitches!

Oh nice! I'll shout out some

I really like this channel! He makes videos on different topics like "Who is Goofy's wife?" or "Recreating the scooby doo ghosts in real life". It's really interesting and pretty funny!

A fairly new channel that I personally love to bits. They make videos on the new mario toys like Mario Kart Live and Lego Mario and do experiments with them. It's really cool.

Can you combine Lego Mario and Mario Kart Live?

A channel that started off as a storytime channel but gradually became a gaming discussion channel! I also love this channel to bits! His art style is really clean and adorable and his videos are always really high quality. It's also really funny sometimes!

You're not an RPG guy: A Scott the Woz Christmas (It speaks to me on a spiritual level)

It's crazy how popular video game videos are! I don't think I have enough time to watch them because I am too busy playing the games. I only watch AVGN because it's super funny most of the time, a new one about a Shrek game dropped this week which is a bit of a laugh

I do check out reviews if I'm planning to buy something but it can be hard to tell sometimes if someone's just giving a positive review because theyve received a free item because they are an influencer.

I do occasionally checkout game guides too if there's a particularly tough segment that's hard to replicate from a text Guide.

@Jackpaza0508 I watched a few of the vids by the person who made that Lego Mario/Mario kart live vid, they were pretty decent

I've been watching Videogame Nation on youtube.com/coldbladerising. Very good TV show that was on Saturday mornings in the UK a few years back

Here's a few channels I watch. Gaming and Boxing stuff.

Gaming...

ACG
Bellular News

Joel Haver: Funny animations and sketches
Foil Arms and Hog: Irish sketch comedies
Merryweather Comics: Webcomic style animations. Noteworthy videos include his Minecraft mob waifu series and his Internet Explorer waifu series, but his more original content is also great.
Outside Xbox and Outside Xtra: they do fun Top 7 gaming lists with a variety of games from all sorts of consoles (not just Xbox stuff).
Vivziepop: Has the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss series. They're comedy animations about demons in hell. Content discretion advised, it won't be suitable for everyone.
Manbo-p: Very weird vocaloid songs.
RetroSFX: Has clips of classic movies dubbed with video game sound effects
Umami: Very weird and surreal animations
Harry Partridge: Excellent quality animations
Calliope Mori: Best vtuber.
Ninja Sex Party: Weird and catchy songs

And to echo what others have said:
Tom Scott: Explains weird quirks about tech, science, and law in a fun way. Also has videos where he's visiting some obscure location and explaining what's so interesting about it.
Gamechamp3000: Gaming challenges, such as trying to complete a game without collecting any coins or without jumping.
Pikamee: Vtuber who's always so cheerful
TomSka: Comedy sketches
Eddache: Videos on various topics, particularly old games or animations.

@crimsontadpoles I do like outside xbox/xtra

@crimsontadpoles Tom Scott actually visited my home town for a video! I can't say which video otherwise strangers will find out where I live 😅. Still exciting to see him walking down a road that I am somewhat familiar with though lol

@ralphdibny Oh wow, that's rather cool. I hope it wasn't his recent video about the village slowly being eroded into the sea 😅.

@crimsontadpoles haha nah not that one thankfully. That did make me want to visit that place though. It's a bit over 2 hours away so hopefully this perpetual lockdown ends before it's all gone

I've quite enjoyed the later JonTron videos that aren't so much about gaming. I like Goop, Flextape and other random ones, they are pretty funny....oh yeah the fitness videos one with Marky Mark and his "effing" pancakes! 😂

I should add as well that I love watching clips from Dave Gorman's TV shows, they are absolutely brilliant

There's another old sketch show that gets recommended to me too but I forget what it is now. I get quite a lot of Kitchen Nightmares USA recommend and that just cracks me up completely

@crimsontadpoles I like your tastes in Vtubers! Calliope is was the one who got me into Hololive and I haven’t been the same since😂

Also I just gotta echo what everyone else is saying about Tom Scott. His videos really shouldn’t as amazing as they are. I’ve binge watched his content a number of times.
