What youtube channels do you follow and why

[Alta Don]

True but I think Sam knew it was gonna get exposed.

[rtil]

seems oddly absurd to put all that effort into something for the sake of a joke if he somehow knew he wasn't gonna get the money. comes off more of a closet brony than anything else after that debacle

[Alta Don]

Yea but we can agree Sam is fucking insane and sometimes hard to figure out.

[Stu4U]

nonstampcollecter - crudely drawn cartoons about atheism that are really well made. unfortunately he rarely updates

after watching a couple uploads, this guy really reminds me of darkmatter2525.
dm's stuff is a bit more quirky compared to nsc, but he still gets the message across nicely. 

[creamcorn]

people figured it was a scam pretty early on: http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/2110528317/dark-skyes-an-epic-brony-dating-sim/ (look at day 4)
and yeah im pretty sure he knew people were gonna figure out it was fake. he put in a lot of 'clues' if you will: he uses their own music and their own graphic style and the intro with the masked guy cant be serious

i think the funniest part is the fact that he convinced all those va's and artists to work on it: http://www.horse-news.net/2014/03/pukey-pony-speaks-out-about-dark-skyes.html

plus i dont think he put in a lot of effort into this. it was mostly the artists and the va's. putting on a mask and writing those silly pony characters doesnt look like a lot of work for a guy as manic as him

i don't think dm is as funny and his art is more crude instead of charming. but they're both good

i think he's an idiot i'll give him that much

epic win

[creamcorn]

ok apparently they did want to scam people http://cliqist.com/2014/03/14/is-dark-skyes-the-latest-kickstarter-scam/

[soup]

anyone that backed a pony dating simulator deserved to have their money stolen

[creamcorn]

true

[rtil]

well, nothing got stolen in the end. so despite all his efforts, le epic troll mastermind MDE accomplished basically nothing and lost a bunch of cash himself in the process, considering he paid artists and amateur VA's for their time.

[creamcorn]

yeah wouldve been fucking great if they actually got it done

This and An Inconvenient Anime are the only MDE related things I've found hilarious:

Sam Hyde's 2070 Paradigm Shift
I fucking died watching this (especially 13:05, but there are so many hilarious bits). It's completely spot on. Aside from the recent Edward Snowden interview, TED Talks seem to consist of a bunch of self-congratulatory pseudo-intellectuals trying to inspire people to "save the world," but none of their "ideas worth spreading" mesh in any kind of cohesive way, because the very concept is so individualistic ("We're so screwed"). The fact that one of the people Sam Hyde questions in this video expresses apathy because he "won't be here in 2070," is so telling, even though it's anecdotal. It's like Gen-X and the Boomers (i.e. guests at TED) want to die without it having even mattered that they were ever alive.

But yeah are there any other public stunts they've done like these that I'm not aware of? I guess that MLP dating sim thing was pretty funny but I was too squeamish to watch the video before I knew it was him.

Most of the YT channels I'm subscribed to are 4chan related but I guess I could post some of them later.

those are indeed some of their best. if you like those you might also like the man on the street videos they make: williamsburg street fashion (3 parts) and MDE whipz

their other projects are good too, but its not for everyone i guess College cunts and ideas man
sam's standup: Privileged White Male Triggers Oppressed Victims and Gutta Man
the majority of their videos however are just sam hyde with his camera. my faves: 1 2 3

[Alta Don]

This is also a great sketch

Other channels I dig:

InternetAristocrat- Always fun seeing stupid Tumblrs getting put in their place
Charliezzz- classic second life videos
FroggyFreshRap- fresh rhymes
GodsConnect- Just a collection of some really cool hip hop instrumentals
PolidoNobre- Great collection of Bossa Nova type of music

[UltraPitchfork]
