Retrocomputing.

A more laid-back, cozy approach to reviewing old computers and their games.

In-depth love-letters to horror and slightly obscurer games.

Nostalgia and pop culture

Channels

Defunctland
Documentaries on extinct themed experiences.
J.J. McCullough
Sometimes controversial channel about culture in a Canadian, American and global context. Also available on Nebula.
R.R. Slugger
Deeply-detailed and way-too-much effort videos about late 90s and early 2000s LEGO. And I am not exaggerating with the effort: not only does he fill his videos with truly superfluous stop motion animation, he even writes the background music himself!

Specific videos

Hey Arnold! Virtual Tour
A virtual tour of Arnold's bedroom. As a kid it always seemed like the most awesome bedroom ever.
Remember When
A bittersweet nostalgic romp that's now old enough to be nostalgic in itself.

Internet culture

Channels

Smosh
Since the reunion it kinda feels like old times again.
Harry Partridge
Animations by Harry Partridge.
Auralnauts
Musical and comical remixes of media, especially Star Wars.
Bill Wurtz
Very surreal animations tied to musical compositions.

Really eccentric animations.

Specific videos

Miscellaneous

Channels

Videos by someone who runs a McDonald's. The efficient and almost robotic way the kitchen works is a big part of what fascinates me so much about fast food.
Adam Ragusea
Deep dives into food, the cooking thereof, and the historical and scientific basis for it.
Atomic Shrimp
Random odds and ends, including but not limited to: scam-baiting, foraging, cooking on a budget, and reviews of weird canned food.
Liam Carpenter and Uyen Ninh
These two YouTubers show an expat's perspective on Germany, coming from England and Vietnam respectively, and primarily do so in Shorts. They're also active on Instagram Reels and TikTok.
