In this thread, chemgal is talking about a Youtube channel called My Drunk Kitchen.
Since getting my new TV, which is a "Smart TV" with Youtube, Netflix, and some other streaming services built in, I've spent most of what little time I spend watching TV on watching Youtube "shows".
There's Numberphile, in which filmmaker Brady Haran posts short films of mathematicians (he has a regular stable of them that he uses) explaining various points of mathematics or discussing mathematical topics. Sounds dull at first, but the mathematicians he works with are fairly good at keeping things light and lively and I'm quite enjoying it.
Then there's Minute Physics, in which the complexities of modern physics are explained in short (usually <5 min.) hand drawn cartoons.
Most recently, and more entertaining than educational, there's Scam School, in which magician Brian Brushwood visits bars with various colleagues to demonstrate and explain various tricks, stunts, and games that you can use to impress your friends and, if necessary, scam a free beer or two.
Anyone else have favorite Youtube channels?

Argh. The inability of the board software to highlight links in the original post of a thread is irritating. The channels names (Numberphile, etc.) are links to the respective channels.

I don't really go out seeking videos, so not much. The ones I come by are usually because someone else posted. I don't even subscribe to any.
I check out MDK and Jenna Marbles, there have probably been others but they were short-lived.
Chemguy has quite a few. Mostly about video games and I don't enjoy watching them.

I quite enjoy Sogo Media TV - aka Darkwood Brew (www.darkwoodbrew.org).
