Evan Fong is a Canadian YouTuber that generally plays games like Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty: World at War with friends. He takes games and makes them into montages, taking only the funniest parts of the game. Although this takes away some story elements, it focuses on the important content. His videos also tend to be a bit shorter than the others.

Evan Fong isn’t just a YouTuber; he has created an image in the music industry under the name “Rynx”. He also was the creative director for the game “Dead Realm” and worked on a small computer-animated show. Through all this, he still continues his YouTube channel, uploading once every two days.

Okay, so not much is known about H20 Delirious himself. His name is Jonathan, and he is from North Carolina. Jonathan has never shown his face, and sports around an avatar that resembles a cute Jason. That’s about it. However, what is known is his collaborations and YouTube achievements.

Jonathan is well known for his unusual style of gaming, and his ‘Delirious’ laugh. During his Let’s Plays, he never knows what’s going on and freaks out. If he’s not doing that, he’s playing multiplayer games with friends. A lot of his content contains collaborations with others like VanossGaming and others.

7. Charles White (Cr1TiKal), (penguinz0)

Charles White has an interesting sense of humor. He has a very dry sense of humor, and this earned him a solid 4.5 million on his channel. Charles lives in Tampa, Florida and currently does a lot of live streaming from his Tampa home. He still makes it on this list because of his wild humor and that he still posts gaming videos on his main channel.

Charles has been known as one of YouTube’s funniest commentators for a long time, but he is also known for his acting. He has appeared in quite a few projects, such as Hellsing Ultimate Abridged, Anima: Gate of Memories, and even directed a few TV series. Between his acting career, and YouTube career, Charles found a way to slip his dry humor into the audience’s lives.

Unlike the other channels here, Yogscast is actually a company run under Lewis, Simon, and Richard Keith. At first, their content was mostly on World of Warcraft videos. However, once they started playing Minecraft and other sandbox games, they quickly rose in the charts and became one of the most recognizable YouTube channels.

Yogscast is hosted in Bristol, UK, and they do a lot with the company. They produce music, held their convention (Yogcon), produce their live-action RPG, and run a podcast. They also made a lot in charity, hosting events to raise money for those in need.

He has been nominated for the golden joystick for “Personality of the Year”.

Daniel has written one book which reached the New York Times Bestseller and started crowdfunding for a second book. These books also contain the same humor that the YouTuber has.

Jason was a video editor in 2003, making him the perfect candidate for YouTube’s platform. He started by reviewing video games in an essay format while using crude humor to entertain the audience. He now has 6 million subscribers and over one billion views on his channel. His video style differs depending on the video. Sometimes he voices over his playthroughs, while other times he does his commentary while playing the game.

Jason also produces animations on Newgrounds, one of the animations called “Great Yoshi Migration” that is a parody of “Y.M.C.A”. He works under Curse LLC and has been prospering since signing the contract.

When Game Grumps started, it originally was hosted by Arin and Jon Jafari. The two created the Let’s Play channel, and Jon quickly left the channel after its creation. After this, Dan joined as co-host and took over Jon’s part. Arin and Dan still to this day create Let’s Plays along with their other YouTube projects. During a Let’s Plays, you never know what they’re going to say. To this day, they work on music projects, host shows, and many other awesome things to enjoy.

 

Dan is well known for his comedic music, and rocks out with Brian Wecht in their band “Ninja Sex Party”. Although the duo has released serious albums and covers, most of the music associated with them is comical and relates to video games. Arin, on the other hand, started in Animation as Egoraptor, and developed a music career with Dan and Brian in a new band called “Starbomb”, once again focused on the comedic aspects of gaming. As of late, Ninja Sex Party has been taking a more serious tone (while still funny), and Starbomb has taken over as the ‘silly/funny band’.
