Funniest Youtube Channels

What’s that you say? You need more links where you can waste time on the Internet? I’d be happy to help. Lucky for you, there are plenty of people out there willing to write jokes, craft funny stories, and even make fools of themselves on the Internet. Here are our top picks for funniest Youtube channels.

Simple Pickup

Thankfully, this isn’t actual advice for picking up chicks (you wouldn’t actually depend on the Internet for that, would you?) This is quite the opposite. On this channel, guys use a variety of unadvisable means to flag down women, from dressing like Harry Potter to using fake accents. Have a look and enjoy watching them get shut down time and again.

Friday Night Cranks

Warning: only pursue these videos if you’re feeling particularly immature. This channel is a collection of prank phone calls, which usually involve potty humor of some sort. Immature? Definitely. Funny? Usually.

College Humor

College Humor has been around since the beginning of the viral Internet, and if you’re not familiar with them by now, you should be. From fake commercials and political ads to hits like “The six girls you date in college,” College Humor is excellent at staying on the cutting edge of hip, youth humor. If you’re interested in more information about colleges and online universities, check out this resource.

Barely Political

For “song parodies and sketches in the Key of Awesome” check out this channel. These nerdy videos riff on pop culture in ways that anyone can enjoy. As a Mad Men fanatic myself, I loved the Walking Dead Mad Men mashup. And those who enjoy a little scatalogical humor won’t be disappointed with their take on Adele titled “Adele: Set Fire to My Pants!”

PES

While not exactly a gut buster, the stop motion films made by PES are definitely worth watching—and they can make you laugh in that “huh!” way. These short stop motion animations are incredibly clever in their use of ordinary everyday objects, from a baseball to dice. Give them a look and you’ll see what I mean. Anyone inspired by these videos that is looking get a degree in visual communications should take a look at Guide to Online Schools.

Bad Lip Reading

Making people look silly is the aim of this channel, and no one goes unscathed, from politicians to popular artists. For example, Michael Buble’s latest hit is transformed into a ballad about shooting Russian unicorns.
