I live in AZ as well, and I went to his elementary school, middle school, and one of the high schools he went to (not the preparatory one). I was in the "dogs program" (not the real name, he's clever) and found it funny and relatable. Also, I was in the class he visited to talk, and it was boring, but we were well-behaved. It was really cool, and I got his autograph at school!
Please tell me why, on this website, he's not a top 100 YouTuber ever? I can't think of many channels more entertaining and funny.
I also can't think of many channels where the person has to actually put in a huge effort to make their videos. This is why I like animator channels on YouTube. I think he and Jaiden Animations go well together, by the way.
Very awkward and timid, but at the same time, one of the kindest and most genuine people on YouTube. Her soft-spoken and warm demeanor adds to her already whimsical and entertaining content. Though she isn't very outspoken, she has a natural entertainer's voice and a knack for humor that (most of the time) is very family-friendly without being pandering or bland. She pours her heart and soul into every project and genuinely enjoys what she does.
Assuming her stories are true to her character, she's a very sweet young lady full of spunk and adventure, even if she is a bit on the shy, introverted side. She's relatable and has a knack for creative storytelling. Not to mention that her voice is right on par with her animations. She inspired me to carry out an old dream of mine. Mikaylah Moments owes its existence to Jaiden Animations.
Eddsworld is a British adult animated comedic web series of flash animations, comics, and flash games created by Edd Gould. Oh my god, Eddsworld is at the TOP! I am amazed! Edd was an awesome animator, and so is Paul. But the fandom was the worst part of everything. When I joined the fandom in 2007 when I was only 6, Eddsworld was the only thing I would watch. It was a very peaceful time, with no shipping, bad fan art, or anything a bad fandom had.
Everything went a bit downhill when Tord left. There were only a few arguments, and a bit of harassment, but nothing really bad happened. However, since Edd died, practically everything went so far down that it practically jumped off a cliff. Annoying 5-year-old Canfield came, and ships became a thing. Harassment became very serious. It was a main reason why Eddsworld had to end. Edd didn't die for this!
Oh, I will always look back to those days. But I will always look on the bright side: Edd was there to make us smile. He started everything. Edd died in the process of an upcoming animation! His animations would always cheer me up. We all knew it had to come to an end. That is all, thank you.
Domics has my vote. His animations tell stories of his life (mostly), and they are insanely funny. It doesn't have to be so realistic for it to be entertaining, as proven in his work. I just started watching his videos and I already love them.
His work is so original. As a young person, Dominick's Comics inspired me to go in the path of animation. Great use of talent, Domics.
Very from-the-heart storytelling with a clean, simple presentation and lots of visual humor. I like how he shows how he got where he is, shares his knowledge of his art, and has a lot of outlets full of content on various other websites.
What I like most about Adam is his constant progress. I mean, watch his first animation and then watch one of the latest 2020 ones. The improvement is real. Also, he's an awesome rapper, and I think he watches Daftpina's critique videos of him and then improves afterward, which makes him cooler.
He's so down to earth and isn't afraid to speak his mind. He also makes jokes and punchlines at the right time, which makes his videos even better. I love to watch his videos and hope he goes even further with this career!
He has animations that are funny and they also make you question his sanity.
I just found out about him, and well, let's just say his videos are short and sweet. Sweet being funny.
Eddsworld, Psychicpebbles, and Egoraptor are all very good, but OneyNG is the funniest and most creative out of them all.
Arin Hanson, commonly known as EgoRaptor, is a YouTuber, animator, voice actor, and rapper. He rose to prominence in the mid-to-late 2000s through his Newgrounds animations before transitioning to YouTube, where he experimented with both animation and live-action content... read more Basically, the King of animation. Almost single-handedly kickstarted YouTube animation. Also has a very great animation style, and does most of the voices himself. His signature is even Snake from one of his most popular animations, Metal Gear Awesome 2. If there's not something to love here, there's no hope for you.
He has been doing animation for so long, and something that shows how good he is, is that he's gotten better over time. If you stayed the same over time and only the quality improved due to newer equipment and technology, that wouldn't mean much.
She is one of the BEST YouTubers on my list. Sure, it takes her a little bit to post, but let's think about if we were her. Myself, I hope that we NEVER switch lives because I would NEVER be as good as her. Also, think about why it takes her a long time to post... her videos are GREAT! (I have always wanted to meet her!) #1
She would be my favorite storytime animator if she just posted a bit more. I know animation takes time, but compared to most storytime animators, she takes too long to post. I still love her videos, though.
Thomas James Ridgewell, known online as TomSka, is a British YouTube celebrity, actor, writer, producer, director, voice actor and filmmaker, as well as founder of the Turbopunch Ltd. He makes the funniest videos I have ever seen in my life. And I so "hugging" love his work. Tom, if you are ever to see this, then I love you, I love your work, and you have the best animations ever. ASDFmovies are hilariously stupid, but that's what I love about them. People just find them funny.
His channel is a great laugh no matter what video, and Crash Zoom is nice too. He inspired me to possibly become a comedian.
TomSka has such good animations. Even though they are simple, they are EPIC. They are also SUPER funny.
The Newcomers
I personally think they are my favorite top 10 channel.
Underrated as heck. I love his humor.
I have no idea why people say Eddsworld and Egoraptor are above this. They're poorly animated, not funny in the slightest, and just bad in general. Oney's alright for comedy, but the animation is often kind of too Adobe Flash-esque. HP, at least, does the actual animations in a traditional style, and while he does take forever to make anything, its quality is unmatched by the people above him.
Harry should at least be second on this list. He might be the best animator on the internet. It is disgraceful to put him below Egoraptor, who is not only an inferior animator but doesn't even animate anymore.
I can't BELIEVE SLAMACOW IS NOT #1! He is definitely the best YouTube animator there is. He is obviously the Minecraft animator, though. Not only is he awesome at animating, but he also comes up with such creative stories to go along with his well-known characters, Slamacow (himself), Dave, and Bart. He is truly worth checking out if you haven't seen his animations already. You will fall in love with them.
Slamacow is awesome, but you can't forget Abraham animations. They're both probably the best animators I've ever seen.
Toby Turner (born March 3, 1985), also known by his stage name Tobuscus, is an American Internet personality, actor, and musician. Originally from Niceville, Florida, he is best known for his YouTube videos... read more An obvious OG YouTuber as well as an OG animator. He deserves more recognition, even after all the court cases and accusations. It happens to everyone, and sometimes you have to forgive and forget.
He is not just an animator, but he has great animation, and he is very talented. VOTE UP.
The first animator I ever watched and the best one I've ever watched. He never fails to make me laugh. To be honest, I laugh so hard until I cry at his animations. Hilarious and amazing!
He's the best out of all the animator/storytellers I've watched. He should be number 1! He's amazing!
The very first animation vlog I watched, and so many of his stories never left me disappointed!
WOW. He probably has the most creative, historical mind out of all the animators (besides Edd). He's so hilarious!
Really funny, and he also grew up in the same state as me. We both have the same favorite places in Boston!
He and TheOdd1sOut are my favorite YouTube storytime animators. He introduced me to the YouTube storytime animation community.
He is the first animator and probably one of the best ones I have ever watched! I think he should be higher up on the list.
Stephen Carver, born on October 11, 1988, is better known online as Saberspark. He is an American YouTuber known for reviewing obscure cartoons and animated films. Additionally, he is recognized for his analysis videos on the follies of certain franchises or studios... read more
Alan Becker is fantastic! His Animator vs. Animation series is really good, and he's such a talented animator. As well, his tutorials are really, really helpful. They've taught me run cycles, how to use Adobe Flash, animation tips, the 12 Principles of Animation, and more. I'd totally subscribe to him, but I'm not allowed to. Go watch Alan Becker!
Alan Becker is one of the best animators of stick figures. His Animator vs. Animation is really entertaining to watch, and his tutorials are also really helpful to beginning animators such as me. So, if you would want to, you could subscribe to him and watch one of his animations or more.
Even if she is faking her voice, so what? She has good content and an adorable personality! It is also inspiring how she continues uploading even with all the hate.
She's kind and keeps going even after reading mean comments. She is usually joyful in her videos. What people sound like doesn't matter!
I hate how Wolfychu gets so many hate comments, even here where it tells you to EXPLAIN WHY YOU VOTED FOR WOLFYCHU. You shouldn't be bringing people down on this website. You should be saying what you like about them, giving them advice, or not commenting about them at all. Rude comments can really affect someone.
I personally like Wolfychu. She's so happy and kind. She has great videos and a good drawing style.
