Cool Stuff Part Niiiiiine: Some More Vloggers

Todaaaaay I have some more YouTube vloggers I adore. Let me see if I can be extra cool this time and include some pictures.

First up is Craig aka WheezyWaiter.

From wheezywaiter.com:

My name is Craig. I used to be a waiter in a downtown Chicago restaurant. It’s not as lucrative as it sounds. I started this video blog in late May 2007 out of frustration with a job that barely paid the rent and didn’t involve any of my creative skills. It was originally going to be a blog about the trials and tribulations of the dining experience, from the point of view of both waiters and customers. It became a showcase for my own brand of absurd humor which occasionally includes dining subject matter. After half a year of blogging and freelance video work, I eventually got a job as a video guy at a web development company.

Wheezy makes hilarious videos on a variety of unlikely subjects from President’s Day to Puppies which often involve punching himself and others, changing camera angles, and a choice of multiple endings but always ends with a wink.

Next up is Natalie Tran aka CommunityChannel.

From fansite Natalietran.me:

Natalie Tyler Tran is a video blogger on YouTube from Sydney, Australia, using the nickname communitychannel. She is a digital media student at the University of New South Wales, an amateur violinist and second-generation Vietnamese Australian.

Nat’s videos usually involve her making commentary on awkward social situations she finds herself in and generally involve self-deprecating humor, such as being the third wheel around couples and trying to self-diagnose using Google. Her videos almost always involve some skit to demonstrate whatever topic she’s describing, where she uses split-screen type editing to have every role in the skit (usually) played by herself just wearing different clothes. Her videos always start with a Hi! and end with her responding to comments from the last week’s video.

Last is Charlie McDonnell aka Charlieissocoollike.

From CharlieMcDonnell.com:

Charlie McDonnell is an English Video-Blogger and Musician from Bath, Somerset. Known on YouTube as charlieissocoollike, he is currently the second most subscribed YouTuber in the United Kingdom, with over 300,000 regular viewers. Currently, he has amassed over 30 million total video views. He is 19 years old, still lives at home with his Mum, and does not enjoy small talk.

Charlie’s videos are charming and include his ongoing attempts to complete a list of challenges that so far have included him painting his body purple and giving his opinions on different kinds of baby food.

Why love these vloggers? As Buck said in that video of his in an earlier post of mine — success on YouTube really is about personality. These three vloggers have charisma and an ability to make everyday topics incredibly entertaining. They have well put-together video without removing themselves from that everyday-person-talking-in-their-bedroom charm that draws a lot of people to these personal-type vloggers. They’re relatable enough to feel a sense of community and non-commercialism surrounding them, but also talented enough that they are consistently entertaining and high quality.
