My favorite type are the ones when Paul Rudd sits down in front of a computer and watches different versions of himself dancing.

Generally, sports highlights, the 3-minute highlights of a game condensed down into short form.

> I’ve been watching a lot of old school pro wrestling shoot interviews lately. I haven’t been a fan of the business for 25 years at least, but it’s interesting to hear the real life details behind the shows we used to enjoy so much.

I enjoy those, too. Now that my kid likes wrestling I get nostalgic for the heroes of old. I also like sports bloopers, news bloopers, stuff like that. And of course many times I’ve turned to youtube for some DIY stuff related to home or car or whatever.

Every time we open YouTube, it starts with Celtic Knot (that’s me and Mr. CK) performing “Irish Washerwoman” at the Farmington Renaissance Fair 2010.  
At home, we try to catch new Qi episodes before they are taken down.  
At school, I try to find good videos to expand on the rather dry Science textbook.

Always happy whenever [Epic Meal Time](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYjk_zY-iYR8YNfJmuzd70A) releases a new video. Their newest one (World’s Spiciest Burger) looks scary, though. :eek:

Most amateur cover songs are hit and miss, but I always enjoy “collaboration covers” – [like this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28buyEzQ8Ls) – where several people on different continents record a song together. (I always wonder if they record their parts separately or simultaneously?)

And then of course there’s the video game Let’s Plays, the Russian dashcam crash compilations, CGP Grey videos…

I will spend some time watching Instant Karma.

I saw a really good “how to” one. It was on bikini waxing.

Yep, add another vote for them. Got hooked from the “Kids vs Food” on the REACT channel and now look them up wherever they are (check out people eating surstromming).

Also liked 'Soldiers surprise coming home" and “surprise puppies” when I’m feeling in the mood for it.
