Here are my personal recommendations on which Youtube creators to follow for cringe content. Do not understand wrong – these youtubers are NOT cringy themselves, they review cringe videos of others.
1. H3H3 Productions (or H3 Podcast)
H3H3 productions is an Israeli-American comedic YouTube channel run by the married couple Ethan Edward Klein and Hila Klein, commonly consisting of comedic reaction videos with sketches. They have reacted to many cringe-worthy people and I highly recommend following their new podcast H3 productions.
Their videos typically features Ethan reacting to content (ranging from pranksters, hip hop artists, and other cringe YouTubers) in a light-hearted, humorous manner, intermixed with surreal and comedic sketches. You might know them from the VAPE NATION video, which has been viewed more than 25 million times:
The channel has gained a reputation for aggressively criticizing certain Internet trends and personalities as well as the policies of YouTube itself. It experienced rapid growth in viewership in 2015, due to frequent exposure on Reddit, reaching a million subscribers in March 2016. Here are some more of their most popular videos:
2. PaymoneyWubby
Dennis Richardson, a.k.a. Wubby, is a web culture commentator and streamer. He runs the PaymoneyWubby twitch stream and YouTube channel, where he interacts with his sizable fandom. He is one of the highly recognized cringe-content reviewers, as he had touched on the best topics, surrounding people embarrassing themselves. For example, Tik Tok Cringe or A Woman in Relationship With a Ghost.
But the most famous video from PaymoneyWubby is reviewing cringy, oversexualized children Youtube ASMR channels, which are really not for sensitive ears… Check it out for yourself:
3. PewDiePie
I think it is not surprising PewDiePie is on this list, as he has been the most popular Youtuber in the world and many of his videos are meant to review cringe content.
Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, known online as PewDiePie (/ˈpjuːdiːpaɪ/ PEW-dee-py), is a Swedish Youtuber and comedian, known primarily for his Let’s Play videos and comedic formatted shows. In 2016, Time magazine named him one of the world’s 100 most influential people.
I would say, he is one of the spreaders, of the term cringe and the fun behind it. He has created content dedicated to the Try Not To Cringe Challenge, as well as, reviewed tons more funny videos surrounding people making fools of themselves.
4. All Gas No Breaks
This I cannot recommend enough! One of the first videos posted to this blog is from this creator: Visiting Furry Conference.
All Gas No Brakes is an American YouTube channel presented by Andrew Callaghan. The channel has 1.58 million subscribers and over 63 million views as of January 2021. It features Callaghan traveling around the United States interviewing really controversial personalities in their comfort zone. The way he presents himself during the interview is so funny and entertaining. His style could be described as surreal and humorous viewpoints on serious topics.
