Are there any decent youtube channels? I’m not sure what I’m looking for, really. It doesn’t look like any TV Shows actually put their stuff up on Youtube, but I am wondering if any of you have found any entertaining channels. I like TVsCraigFerguson, but I’m not sure if it is even legal. It carries Craig Ferguson the day after it airs and Craig has mentioned it on his show before. CBS has never taken it down for some reason. Anyone else find anything cool? ---

Can I pimp my boyfriend’s show? It’s called [Drinking in the Morning With Aaron and Grant](http://www.youtube.com/user/DrinkingInTheMorning) - kind of a talk show format with more alcohol involved. People seem to either think it’s hilarious or really stupid - I think when it’s funny, it’s really funny. They also have a podcast and now a radio drama, _The Fascist Rider_. ---

I’ll add one I’ve found recently. [NostalgiaCriticFan](http://www.youtube.com/user/NostalgiaCriticFan4) This person converts all the Nostalgia Critic episodes and puts them on youtube. I recommend starting with “Cool as Ice” if you want to see a funny review of a horrible(Vanilla Ice) movie. ---

Well, she is just some youtuber who is quasi-famous now. This show is pretty funny as well: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/omE_8VJN9Eo/hqdefault.jpg "WE NEED GIRLFRIENDS - EPISODE 1") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omE_8VJN9Eo) ---

[Vlogbrothers](http://www.youtube.com/user/vlogbrothers) is pretty good. It’s two brothers who share an account. Originally, they only communicated to each other via videos posted every other day. It’s moved into more of a general interest format where John talks a lot about literature and Hank talk a lot about science. They share things they think are cool and have done some different projects to decrease what they call worldsuck. Hank also has some youtube fame as a singer. His songs are cute and fun. [BarelyPolitical](http://www.youtube.com/user/barelypolitical) does a lot of song parodies. If you are at all up to date on the latest pop singles, you’ll enjoy the songs. They also do some sketches and such in and around the songs. [The Gregory Brothers](http://www.youtube.com/user/thegregorybrothers) and [Schmoyoho](http://www.youtube.com/user/schmoyoho) do a lot of stuff with autotune. The autotune the news videos are usually pretty good for a laugh. They turn clips from like cspan and cnn into little ditties. Fun if you’re politically inclined. And of course the backin’ up song which is just fun. [Truth or Fail](http://www.youtube.com/user/truthorfail) is a game thingie. Various youtubers have made videos of trivia facts about some subject they’re interested in. They give you a question and two possible answers. You click the one you think is right and are taken to a video that tells you if you are right or wrong and then you get the next question. Fun way to pass ten minutes. [Rikilind](http://www.youtube.com/user/rikilind) is the account of a song duo Garfunkel and Oates. You may have seen one of the members on Scrubs, Kate Micucci was Ted’s girlfriend in a couple episodes. They have several songs that are pretty famous, Pregnant Women are Smug, This Party Just Took a Turn for the Douche and Sex with Ducks are among my favorites. Uh, I think I’ll leave this for now and if you want more, I can post some more. ---
