Top 10 Funniest Commentators on YouTube
You came for the ten funniest people on YouTube, and now your sense of humor is about to be handled like an unattended shopping cart on a windy hill. These are the commentators who can turn a bad game, a strange clip, or one aggressively cursed comment section into comedy fuel. Remix it, repost it, redo it, quote it until your friends beg you to develop a second hobby.
This is the kind of list you share everywhere because keeping this much internet nonsense to yourself would be rude. Vote for the commentators who make you laugh the hardest, then spread the chaos like a raccoon loose in a grocery store.

Cr1TiKaL
He is one of the first people I started watching on YouTube and the reason I even discovered YouTube. He is funny, witty, sort of depressing because of his voice, and yet very humble. He donates everything he makes on YouTube to charity. When he started a Patreon page, he amassed loads of followers, and now he is getting $4,684 per month from donations alone.
Despite all his fame and the potential to make videos with other YouTubers, he is very down to earth and one of the most likable people I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. And despite having over a million subscribers (which he hasn't even mentioned apart from a Q&A he did once), he is still surprisingly unknown. But I'm sure he doesn't care. Long live Cr1TiKaL, we all love you.

PewDiePie
Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg (born October 24, 1989), known online as PewDiePie, is a Swedish YouTube personality, comedian, and commentator. He gained fame for his Let's Play videos and vlogs and was the most subscribed YouTuber for nearly six years, after which he was surpassed by T-Series. As of March... read more
I think the main reason why so many people love PewDiePie is because you can just feel this really genuine love for his fans. He somehow makes me feel good about myself with his videos. I've never felt this with any other channel.
I understand that some might not like him much because he has "stupid" humor, but I don't understand why people hate on him. He's just such a genuinely nice, caring person. He's got money and tons of fans because of YouTube, and he uses this to donate boatloads of money to charities. I also love his girlfriend, CutiePieMarzia. They are an adorable couple.
It seems like all the Robbaz and Critical (too lazy to spell his name) fans are disliking all comments that say anything positive about Pewds. So if you have a negative score, just ignore it.
PewDiePie is awesome, and the number of subscribers he has is way more than Critical and Robbaz combined. Do this list justice and bump PewDiePie up, although I think Michael (RT) is in a great spot on the list (2 at the time of me typing this).

ChaoticMonki
I feel like Cry is a lot more emotionally invested and social with his fans. He's very intriguing and mysterious, what with the whole no-face thing, but that adds to the reasons I love him and the fans. They don't care what his face looks like. The quality of the content is what matters.
Cry makes everything funny in the right spots, not completely forced and ruining the mood. He knows when to shut up and let the game play itself out. Talking throughout the dialogue is a big pet peeve of mine, and Cry makes sure not to do so.
His humor is very funny, and his own personal, non-LP videos are hilarious (e.g., A Love Song by Cry and Happy Birthday Jacy!). He seems to be a wonderful person. Cry also knows when things need to stop, and he will tell you if you need to knock it off. He's very wise in his own way, and this intelligence enhances his humor to a level his fans really seem to enjoy. Also, #boobies4cry. Thanks, bye.

Robbaz
This man is truly a god among men. Hailing from Sweden, claiming that he's the "King of Sweden" and that he is a Viking already places Robbaz, or Robert, on this list. However, his videos can be compared to Cr1TiKaL's, except with more emotion and more serious gameplay rather than goofing around. Similar to Cr1TiKaL, he says random things suddenly and also loves nipples.
Robert, or Robbaz as we know him, is a true inspiration for what commentating on games should be about. He's a nice person who can be serious but at the same time, funny. I've watched his videos for a while, and I believe he's truly underrated.
Commentating should be either fun, serious, or a combination of those things (which Robbaz brings to us). He should be one of the most subscribed channels on YouTube, along with SeaNanners and other great people.

Michael Jones
Ah, Michael, will you ever win? Mainly, he is well known for his "Rage Quit" series from Achievement Hunter. In this series, he "plays extremely hard video games until he has an aneurysm and we have to call an ambulance," says Geoff Ramsey, voice of Grif in RvB. If you want insane rage, swearing, and failure, here's the place to look.
He never has a bad video, one of my favorite people on YouTube. Even the stuff he did before Rage Quit was fantastic.
Michael is hilarious in his Rage Quit series and the Let's Plays. He and Gavin make the perfect duo.

VanossGaming
Evan Fong is a Canadian internet personality and video game commentator with 24 million subscribers. He is best known under his online pseudonym VanossGaming, where he posts montage-style videos on YouTube. His content primarily features gameplay from games like Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty.
He's one of the best right now. A very funny YouTuber who knows how to make his videos stand out. You'll see how much effort he puts into editing his videos because they're all well thought out and well arranged to suit what people want in a video. His skits are always funny and always set a good mood at the start of the videos.
The best thing I like about him is that he's very humble and doesn't take all the credit. I mean, he will always give his crew the credit they deserve because that's where most of his funny content comes from. If you're looking for videos that will cheer you up and make you want to see more, then watch VanossGaming.

AVGN
The Angry Video Game Nerd, aka James Rolfe, is a character who plays not hard but very poor video games, either in quality or design, and proceeds to go on twenty-minute rants on how the game is completely broken. AVGN tends to use ridiculous metaphors for things he would rather do than play a certain game, such as having a buffalo defecate into his ears. Enough said. (NOTICE: CURRENTLY ON HIATUS TO PRODUCE AN AVGN MOVIE)
His videos are so funny and well-crafted.
He was the one who started it all.

UberHaxorNova
Even though he has 3 million subscribers and isn't known by many, he is my #1 favorite YouTuber of all time. Some of his best game series and playthroughs are Grand Theft Auto 5 Online, Stop It Slender, Happy Wheels, and Minecraft. Sadly, his channel grows extremely slowly. He deserves many more subscribers because of the hard work he puts into his videos.
P.S. He also has one of the best laughs out of everyone on YouTube.
Due to me watching hundreds of his videos and also many other commentators' videos, I have to say Nova is by far the funniest. On top of that, he is in a group called The Creatures, which I enjoy watching as well. It just makes him that much better when he is with them. Crude humor plus immaturity equals 100% awesomeness.

MarkiplierGAME
Mark Edward Fischbach (born June 28, 1989), known online as Markiplier, is an American YouTube personality. He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, began his online career in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is now based in Los Angeles, California. Markiplier is known for his playthroughs of horror and indie games and... read more
I've been watching a lot more of Mark lately, and he started a new gameplay of Mist Survival. After doing some searching to find someone nearly as funny and personable to watch while I wait for Mark to upload again, I have found nobody. Markiplier is simply one of the funniest YouTubers I've watched.
He makes a conscious effort to get to know his fans and allows his fans to know him. He shares what he's thinking about and gives viewers ways to reach him so they can talk.
His humor isn't the only thing that makes his dialogue fun, however. He brings the games to life with many techniques, and I don't think he even realizes the utter joy that he brings people, even on the most depressing days.

TobyGames
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. As of October 2024, Turner had a total of over 14.5 million subscribers and more than 3.9 billion... read more
Toby is 100% NOT a gamer, but he's going to try his hardest. He picks hard and scary games, puts them on different difficulties, and then dissolves in the carnage. It's common to hear "I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead" shrilly while running from some monster. Some of his great ones are Dead Space 2 and Amnesia, especially Amnesia, where he's so afraid that he shrieks every few minutes.
However, he's also endearing playing Minecraft, running from creepers, creating strange two-person conversations with himself based on the background music, or singing songs about Diamond Swords and Safety Torches. Or how he always talks to the female leads in any game: "What are you doing, girl?" "How are you doing?"
He's easily the most fun, not serious gamer on YouTube.

Kurtis Conner
How do I even begin to explain Kurtis Conner? Kurtis Conner is flawless. He has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus. I hear his hair is insured for $10,000. I hear he does car commercials... in Japan. His favorite movie is Varsity Blues. One time, he punched me in the face... it was awesome!

Danny Gonzalez
Check out his videos on the Johnny Johnny channel. Greg is the fastest-growing army on the internet (don't look that up). He writes songs jokingly, but they always turn out to be bops.
Greg is the fastest-growing fanbase on YouTube. Don't look that up.

Achievement Hunter
These guys are hilarious, especially Gavin.

Jacksepticeye
Seán William McLoughlin, born February 7, 1990, better known by his online pseudonym Jacksepticeye, is an Irish YouTube personality known primarily for his comedic Let's Play series and vlogs. His most popular series include Happy Wheels and Five Nights at Freddy's. These projects helped increase his... read more
Is there a more genuine and honest Let's Player on YouTube? I submit that there is not. Upbeat, relatable, hilarious, and diverse, he is also in possession of possibly the kindest YouTube community of fans in his or any genre. Opinions are tolerated even when they differ among his fans, and haters/trolls are ignored or kindly asked to leave that garbage at the door. Sean, aka Jacksepticeye, is a daily must-watch.
He's certainly 'my' number one YouTube personality: a funny, genuine, and all-around nice guy. He also happens to be every bit as dedicated to his followers as they are to him.
I might add that he appeals to a very wide age demographic, not only the preteen/teen crowd. My family alone boasts a 29-year-old (myself), a 36-year-old, and a 60-year-old who enjoy his work. In my case, looking forward to his videos when I get home from work is part of what gets me through the day.
I'm not a video game person, and I never understood why people would 'watch' someone else play, until Jacksepticeye.

Tatsudoshi
Tatsu's retired now after personal issues forced him to. He will be missed. His comedy got me through some tough times.
-
CaptainSparklez
CaptainSparklez is the best commentator ever! He makes the best Minecraft videos! I would recommend his Minecraft survival series. Although, if you want to watch his Skyblock series, skip the first three episodes.
Great music videos, hilarious survival games, and he also meets other Minecraft commentators like AntVenom and Syndicate Project, just to name a few. He is the second Minecraft commentator in views.
One of the best Minecraft YouTubers of all time. He is awesome and hardly ever swears.
VOTE NOW!

OfficialNerdCubed
Just Dan in general, always making jokes, always uploading, and generally being funny. He's not cocky, and he knows what he's going to say and how to say it in a way that makes everyone laugh. He also has the ability to make everyone laugh when he screws up and starts screaming.
He is absolutely hilarious and always says jokes, which is something I really like when watching videos. He plays a variety of games that anyone can enjoy and sometimes overreacts to things, which I find funny. Him, PewDiePie, phreakindee, and Chris Smoove are my favorite commentators.

AzuriteReaction
This guy is really underrated. Also known as Desmond, AzuriteReaction has some really great videos and commentaries on YouTube about games he plays, tending to rage on various occasions. Some of his series include Happy Wheels and Facade.
Plays some of the rarest games and has one of the rarest senses of humor. You can tell he's a great guy.
His content is extremely unique, with games ranging from LSD Dream Emulator, Facade, and even strange indie games.
-
The Syndicate Project
Syndicate has always been there for his streams and hit his 7.5 million subs because of his gameplay and humor. He also got me to start to like games I flat-out hated, like Minecraft or Garry's Mod. And that is why he gets my vote.
Syndicate is very funny, and he makes me laugh. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know what to do. He makes my day every time I watch his videos.
Guy's a legend! He plays Minecraft better than anyone, and I'm sure he sets records on Call of Duty: Zombies.

Nostalgia Critic
Nostalgia Critic is an American web series created, written, edited, directed, and performed by Doug Walker. The series features comedic reviews of movies and TV shows, often focusing on nostalgic content from the 1980s and 1990s. It debuted on YouTube in 2007 and has since become one of the most recognizable... read more
Basically, the AVGN of horrible movies. The only major difference is that he tends to parody the movies rather than straight rant on them, but he does that too. If you have seen AVGN, you need to see Nostalgia Critic, especially since they are semi-partners.
The Nostalgia Critic almost in number 20... yeah, alright, I'm fine.
-
Ray Narvaez Jr.
Ray does have his own personal channel, but he barely posts anything. Ray is an amazing person who has an amazing personality, and I am always waiting for the next Let's Play to come out with more of Ray's hilarious comedy.
Saw Michael up there, and I just think that Ray is the funniest person on YouTube. If he had his own personal channel, then I probably wouldn't have a social life anymore because I would be watching him nonstop.
-
Chuggaaconroy
Emiliano "Emile" Rodolfo Rosales-Birou, also known as Emile Rosales and best known as Chuggaaconroy, is an American internet personality and prominent Let's Player. He is known for his detailed and informative playthroughs of Nintendo games on YouTube. His popular series have featured games such as "EarthBound... read more
I am surprised that no one added this. He takes the cake when it comes to Let's Play commentary, and he's easily able to hold his own and perhaps beat the top few guys on this list.
He's amazing when it comes to commentary and is really funny at times. He can easily make you laugh. He should be higher on the list!
He's better than Pewdiepie. I like him, but I think Chuggaaconroy's better.
-
Angry Joe
Angry Joe does really well-written twenty to thirty-minute-long reviews of both really bad games and good games. No holds barred, he really tells what he honestly feels about a game and tends to become extremely irritated if the game is a letdown or a corporate cash-in. Check him out.
Great comedy while still giving great insight is Angry Joe. I love watching him review any type of game, from games I know are good to games I know are bad. He's at his best when he's, well, angry.
He always makes me laugh, and whenever I want to hate on a game, he does it for me in a more humorous way.
-
Chris Smoove
He's #2 for me behind Cr1TiKaL, even though his style is the polar opposite to the former. Great quotes and a soft style really encompass the "smoove" mood.
He is one of the best gaming commentators I've ever seen. He is so hilarious and has trademark catchphrases and autotune, which makes his videos even funnier.
Funny and not really a pro gamer. Yeah, he's good, but he'll call out noob moves on himself. Chris Smoove is making all the moves... Hahaaa. He's just a funny guy to listen to.
-
KSIOlajidebt
KSIOlajideBT is unbeatable. He is hilarious, and his reactions to every loss on FIFA just make me uncontrollable.
He is pretty hilarious in an angry sort of way.
He's the funniest user on YouTube. It's impossible not to laugh watching his videos. I love his laugh out loud. Just great.

PsychedelicSnake
I love him so much! He is the first gaming commentator that I've ever watched! He is crazy, funny, and he always has the most ridiculous story to tell you! I really love his horror videos, especially his Fatal Frame ones, but if you want to watch a gaming commentator who is funny, does complete blind walkthroughs of videos he has never played before, and doesn't cheat if he gets stuck at something, then you need to watch this tea-loving guy!
The first Let's Play video that I watched from him was BioShock. Really entertaining, and from there I started to watch his RE 4, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame series. What I like about Snake is that he really likes to share his thoughts about the storyline when he plays (like The Last of Us, Metro, etc.), and it feels like we are part of the journey too and having fun. Awesome guy!
