Top 10 Most Overrated YouTubers
The first time I saw a PewDiePie video was in the summer of 2011. It was a Black Ops montage. It wasn't really good at all but basic. He started doing his "reaction" videos, and his acting in them is worse than porn stars. He seems like he's scared, but everyone with a brain knows that he does it to make the video seem more interesting. Anyway, he screams like a 5-year-old and finds it his job to curse every 15 seconds, considering that most of his fanbase probably is under 10. If you don't believe me, in my brother's first-grade class, a staggering majority of them watch that crap.
I'm not hating on his success, but the videos are just stupid. I fail to even simply crack a laugh.
Burping, screaming, and cursing - that's his trademark. Worst camera edits in history: he zooms in on his face when he burps, literally every 2 minutes, and he zooms in when he curses... every 4 seconds. His gameplay is terrible. He doesn't play the games, always skipping the main story. He also says that every game is a rip-off of another game. "I saw that tree in another game before. I saw that dark room in game XY. This reminds me of the game..."
YouTube is a weird place. You get 9-12 million views for useless videos like washing a dog, eating a pizza, or even brushing your teeth when you burp and curse enough while screaming. I stopped watching him in 2014-2015 or so, and he still appears on my YouTube front page from time to time. He is so annoying.
Ever since MrBeast passed 100 million subs, his content has just become dry. I like the dude a lot, but it's like every other YouTuber. Once they hit their goal, they're just posting random videos that aren't even close to funny or amusing.
Even though they are nearing 20,000,000 subscribers now, they are pretty bad, with lame ideas. Smosh is the biggest disappointment in YouTube history. They were one of the first successful YouTubers, and their older stuff was very good and includes some of my best YouTube memories.
Unfortunately, now they only attract 12-year-olds with pathetic jokes, and all their videos must have something sexual.
They were funny for a few years, and even their gaming channel was funny for a while. However, in their quest to be a big brand, they lost a lot of what made them entertaining.
Their gaming channel also became too drama-filled with a major lack of quality gaming information. They just yell at Joven and curse at each other now. They don't even attempt a serious, information-driven show anymore. Sad.
I hate to admit it, but I can agree with him being on the list. He has his rare moments, but between the huge wait times between uploads and the overall quality tanking over the years, I can see why he's up here.
Since his last great video, Space Ace, two years ago, JonTron has been morphing into a typical sold-out YouTuber.
God, I hated this guy since I saw him. He is just a crappy AVGN rip-off.
Tobuscus is trying to be the dumb character who misunderstands everything to an extreme. The one series where that actually worked was Tobuscus Adventures. He had his "straight man," aka more serious character, to play off of.
These animated shorts had crazy setups that allowed for a lot more humorous payoff, like how Tobuscus goes to Canada just to avoid writing his signature on a phone contract. Or how they get increasingly larger zombie invasions every few weeks. Or how Tobuscus's crazy idea of slashing open a Dr. Pepper truck actually saves the world.
His other videos, especially his gameplay videos, lack these elements, making them completely boring. I would love to see him make more Tobuscus Adventures, but I doubt that will happen.
Here is a funny story. Sky isn't a kid-friendly channel, right? There is constant cussing and swearing, something I certainly wouldn't introduce to my younger siblings. But I see a SkyDoesMinecraft figure in the Walmart aisles with kids' toys. So not only does he have a younger child fanbase, but he also does Minecraft, the most overrated game, I swear. And he insults squids. Now there are people getting mad on the internet because I said that I like actual squids.
People use "butter" as a replacement for gold, which may have been funny if I had just seen that for the first time, but now it is utterly horrid. Maybe I am the only person who didn't like these people in grade school. I always found this person very irritating, and my 12-year-old friends like to talk about YouTubers excessively.
Absolutely no emotion in his commentary. I used to watch his music videos, but he got copyright struck on all of them, so they suck too. 2/10.
Jumped on the trend train for the 77th time to start milking Minecraft again after PewDiePie started playing it.
Kind of boring and lackluster commentary. Not very entertaining.
All this channel has are videos of an early teenage boy who acts immature and edits his voice into a helium effect. How original, stupid, annoying, and obnoxious.
After Fred sold his channel to these kids, I can never watch old Fred videos without thinking of these three new annoying kids.
I used to be a pretty big fan of Fred until a few years ago. I began to realize how obnoxious he really is.
No talent, got famous with clickbait. Lots of people work hard to gain popularity. Also makes racist jokes, like blackface, and constantly thinks that sex jokes are hilarious. Then he gets famous off of eating horribly unhealthy foods, where they have thumbnails that make you want to puke.
No originality, not funny, no talent.
I love Shane Dawson, and I respect his success. But to be honest, he's just so overrated. He's not THAT funny. I hate it when people say he's "The King Of YouTube." There are so many YouTubers who are ten times funnier, and they hardly get any recognition, and suddenly he's just blown up and anything he does is going to be idolized.
The Newcomers
He was never funny, and anime doesn't help either.
Old or new, he's overrated either way.
Beluga should be ranked number one on this list. He stole love away from my favorite YouTubers. He is a ripoff of ExplodingTNT (one of my favorite "what if" YouTubers), and the worst part is that he got more subs than him. ExplodingTNT was really good at making "what if" videos, but Beluga just makes boring videos of random Discord messages.
It seems like Beluga is the YouTuber who killed ExplodingTNT, because ExplodingTNT quit uploading the same year Beluga joined, and by fall 2021, Beluga was everywhere. Also, us Gen Z-ers really feel nostalgic for ExplodingTNT, but we have Gen Alpha butting in, saying "OH YEAH, BELUGA IS BETTER!"
There, now you know why ExplodingTNT quit. It's all because he was being challenged by Beluga. Those are the reasons I hate Beluga - he is unfunny, and he is a total ripoff of ExplodingTNT. I think ExplodingTNT was one of the greatest legends of the 21st century.
Beluga is very overrated. He is mostly attractive to kids born between 2012 and 2015, because 2021-2022 was the Beluga meme era, which coincided with their core childhood years.
I'm not sure if he is considered "overrated" because pretty much everybody hates him. He just does stuff for attention and views and starts beef for no reason. His videos are good but not great.
Laughing and making fun of a fan who came to you for help because they were depressed isn't cool. And no, Onision, we do not deserve to die because we eat bacon! MrRepzion is so much better!
He's a very toxic person who seems to like tearing people down and bullying others using YouTube.
Ray William Johnson is not funny, and most of his jokes are sexual, and he curses a lot. If you watch his videos and take the inappropriate comments and cursing out, you would have a boring video. If the only way to entertain is to do that, then it's probably very easy to do stuff like that.
Yo mama so short, she's Ray William Johnson's stunt double. She's also funnier and more talented. Then again, who isn't?
Once the most subscribed YouTuber ripped off someone who (at the time) had less than 1 million subs. Wow.
Why is this clown lower than AVGN? At least AVGN is still entertaining. Meanwhile, this series has been completely ruined since the mid-2010s, with almost nobody in their fanbase even noticing.
Am I the only one who thinks he can be painfully unfunny most of the time?
I genuinely don't understand why everyone thinks he's so funny. His humor is crass, obnoxious, and overly negative and mean-spirited. And yet, he's praised as though he's a comedy "god."
Am I missing something here? Last time I checked, people hated that kind of humor. And yet, everyone loves him, even having the insufferable gall to say that he is somehow *underrated*!
He rides off the success of other channels, and it's not even funny! His biggest hit, "Content Cop," is pathetic, and his roasts are painfully dull. I also get the vibe that the YouTube creator community thinks of him as garbage.
I feel Vanoss deserved to be on here because honestly, his content has gotten dull and repetitive. He always makes the same dull, yet forced and unfunny jokes, especially in his most recent videos. I used to enjoy his videos when he was still making Black Ops II videos, but after he stopped making them, he just became boring and not entertaining to watch. It feels like I am watching the same thing over and over again.
I also think the people he often collaborates with, like IAMWILDCAT, H2O Delirious, Daithi De Nogla, etc., make the same exact content as Vanoss. The only difference is that they do it in their own unique way. Still, it is all just repetitive.
It used to be funny in the very beginning. Now it's annoying in a very bad way. To make things worse, they went to Cartoon Network. Bleargh.
Unbelievably annoying. Of course, it's in the name, but there's nothing remotely funny about the show.
The jokes and plot of each video are getting quite old.
You guys do realize that his whole channel is a satirical mockery of the Internet. It's supposed to be offensive, poking fun at the emotionally fragile children who plague the web. It even says so in the channel description.
Now, I will concede that his fanbase can be atrocious at times and is comprised of edgy pre-teens. However, can you name a channel that doesn't have its fair share of deplorable fans?
He really isn't funny.
He's like that father who's trying to be "hip" with the kids these days, saying: "I can relate." His "comedy" is usually just insults aimed at certain groups of people, which, of course, appeals to his 12- to 13-year-old fanbase. Apparently, "lol guys epic trollz umad bro b0ss" is still funny in 2015.
Also, his fanbase is something to avoid - they're completely obsessed with him. Say anything to criticize him, and you'll be called a "weeaboo," "cancer," "autistic," or something along those lines.
FilthyFrank does not deserve the praise that he gets.
It says a lot when iDubbbzTV is higher (or in this case lower) on the list than Jake Paul.
Why does he have so many subs? Who cares about what he's doing? Logan too... too much clickbait. All he does is walk around his house and do stuff, and everyone's obsessed with him. I don't get it. He's not even funny.
Why was he the 35th person you thought of? He should be the first.
They have to be one of the least funny channels in existence after Jon left. The entirety of the "humor" on their channel is Arin not knowing what to do after skipping a tutorial and Danny explaining a story about one of the numerous times he smoked weed.
The gimmick wasn't funny when it started, and it certainly isn't funny now. All of the charm that was there when Jon was still a part of the crew is gone.
Game Grumps was funny with just two guys playing games, talking about dumb things that came to mind, or stupid happenings in the game. Game Grumps now is Arin with terrible jokes and rapping, not knowing what to do in a game 90% of the time.
Dan and Barry talk as if they're acting drunk while saying something "funny" (reminds me of a sleepy 5-year-old). Kevin is bad at editing, and Ross yells a lot but is the least annoying.
The only people who could like JackSepticEye are middle schoolers. His content is childish as he replaces interesting content with screams. His content mirrors PewDiePie with a slightly better fan base.
Ok, I see some people saying that the swearing is unnecessary, and he's too loud, but that's JUST WHO HE IS! It's kind of like me saying to someone black, You're too black, take that skin off. That's just how that person is!
It isn't going to change the fact that they will stay the same, and neither will it change Jack! (Praying he stays his happy energetic self.)
To be honest, all she does is show us her makeup, hair, and how much of a social life she has. Maybe it's just my opinion, but I think what she does doesn't require much talent at all. I also feel like she's kind of fake, although nobody seems to agree with me.
People like Emma Blackery and Carrie Fletcher deserve more credit and subscribers than her. They do things like cut/shave their hair for charity (Emma recently shaved it, Carrie is going to cut 7-12 inches off next year), share their opinions on things, make people laugh, and genuinely seem like intelligent human beings.
Also, they've done things like spoken word before, and it helps a lot of people. But what does Zoe do?
They talk about how successful they are more than they make me laugh or entertain me.
He should definitely be on here due to the sheer fact that he relies on doing funny things in games to entertain the crowd. He usually just goes along with what seems to be "funny" montages of him playing his games.
Without this, he's basically like any obnoxious YouTuber who just tries to be funny by screaming and reacting in sometimes the most annoying ways.
I don't know how this guy is so famous. The funniest thing is all of the girls on his Twitter sending him suggestive pictures, not even knowing what he looks like because he's probably some guy you wouldn't expect. All he does is scream at the top of his lungs every 3 seconds with the most annoying voice I've ever heard in my life. The dude can barely even read. And did I mention all of the cursing? My fiancée watches his videos, unfortunately, and my newborn wakes up in a panic every time because he's so loud and obnoxious.
I never understood why Fortnite got hyped as much as it did. I mean, seriously, isn't it just another FPS game like the many others out there, right? At least FPS games like CS:GO and Black Ops have better graphics. For real though, if Ninja would add just a little more variety to his channel, doing something besides Fortnite nowadays, I think I would like him more. But it's just Fortnite with him, unfortunately.
The guy is completely riding off the insanely overhyped game of Fortnite. Is that seriously all he plays? If he considered playing some other games, maybe he wouldn't be so bland.
Leafy's channel is full of offensive jokes. He bullies people and is just a huge prick in general. Another thing is that he's toxic and makes sure others are toxic. I won't lie when I say I used to watch him, and from it, I became extremely toxic. Thank God I stopped watching him.
I think he's so offensive and such a bully towards others. The ONLY video I found where it's not as offensive is the clown video! But even that's slightly offensive. He also did a video bullying this autistic kid and... guess what? I'm AUTISTIC!
So, not only do I take offense to that, but I hate him even more! Why is he all the way down here? In my opinion, he should be at #3 for me.
