Underappreciated YouTube Channels You Want to Share

Alan Tutorial

I LOVE Atomic Shrimp's videos...

No way, I was watching an atomic shrimp video while reading through the forum :D Also I used to watch Cybershell a ton
I am going to absolutely love AlanTutorial, I adore that kind of Youtube ARG stuff!!! The description kinda reminds me of the Happy Meat Farm ARG which is also fantastic and you should go watch.

As for obscure channels that I like, it's kinda hard for me to tell what would fall under obscure but:

Peter Knetter - Sonic-ishh youtuber, they used to do a bunch of skits and also fun YTPs
Blue Horizons Inc - Not /exactly/ an ARG series, but all of their videos are like fake company tapes that are VERY unsettling and it is a fantastic watch. Blood warning on the "handshakes" video.
Characters Welcome - Some kind of archive of a stand up comedy set, where like people act out a set without props? There are some good ones there.
Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik - Skits about how not to be a good person online
Bryan Lunduke - Really interesting computer discussion videos
KamSandwhich - Scott the Woz but for board games
friendlyjordies - /probably/ not that obscure anymore since penguinz0 covered them before, but they like cover evil companies in Australia and hes really funny
Gamechamp3000 - Videogame Challenge videos
Stryder7X/TheZZAZZGlitch/pannenkoek2012 - Hyper analytical videos about very specific coding issues in games (paper mario 64, gen 1/2 pokemon, and mario 64 respectively). pannenkoek might be less obscure because he spawned multiple memes tho

edit: snipped some of the quotes

Round 2 from me, I guess. My first post in this thread was better.

Bisqwit does videos on videogaming and programming. Yes! It's another one of those guys!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/@Bisqwit


Gameboylad does deep dive videos on yu-gi-oh digital card videogames and some pokemon videogames. He's got decent views on some vids, but 14k subscribers is probably obscure lol.

GavinAstraWolf. YES!!!! A FURRY TALKING ABOUT POKEMON!!!! WOO HOO!!!!! (This is the most obscure one in the post, hiddem gem hunters)

Big Yellow. I guess while I'm doing Pokemon/Nintendo channels. Her videos have the casual feel, like you're reading a weird blog but its a weird podcast instead. I guess 'slightly unhinged', as the kids are saying.

JessicaIn3D does short videos about Nintendo related topics, but mainly Pikmin. I like how most of her game footage features her character, a pink cat, modded in. She's also effortlessly funny in her videos.

I recommended Carter Amelia Davis's Cave Video on the last post, but since then, she's come out with Cave Video 2! So now I need to recommend Cave Video 2!

Gavin Webber. how could you not see the viral post about the australian cheesemaker beefing with italians and then not stick around to watch a video or two? i see you. just cheese tutorials and conversation, very same-y videos but i guess if you like watching grey haired men make food. and I KNOW some of you do.

Vouch Zone:

My #1 recommendation right now is RecordBreaker301. His newest video is on an obscure early 2000's VR attraction. It has insanely high production value with a retro aesthetic, both 3D and 2D animations all throughout and blended together, great humour, and I think everyone here will appreciate the Wayback Machine sequence.

Please, PLEASE watch this video! it's an honest-to-god crime that it has under 1000 views!

What the fuck, this is so good.

one that i found the other day is MewisMe700! covers obscure pokemon stuff like the pikachu and lugia promo cars and the collector community as a whole!

she seems like the sort of person I would become if I had bottomless disposable income to throw at nintendo themed shit. grim and sobering in a way, but no doubt intriguing.

His channel is criminally underappreciated. Though it is understandable that he doesn't get too much attention as he only uploads once or twice a year. His videos are so well made and so fun to watch.
I can't remember the first video I saw from him, but it was either this:

Or this:

Both great videos!  One of my favorites of his has to be this one:

I like the Chess video

I like Acerola's videos! They're centered around graphics programming and how to do them (+ a video or two about some other thing that's still related to programming). I think his stuff is pretty neato and super informative for a subject that not a lot of people talk about. I will admit, I don't really get much of it, but they're still fun to watch :-D

Yeah, I like this shit. I'm learning about Blender right now, but hearing about shaders in the context of game engines is still interesting.

I'm surprised no one has posted vihart yet!! 

[candycanearter07]

ViHart is NOT obscure lmao, they showed a bunch of their videos in class growing up. Back when I was a boring kid, I used to binge all of their videos for fun. I miss making hexaflegagons in class and flexing that I made mine perfectly..

For the love of all things holy, since YouTube started waging war against its viewers, I should have stopped having anything to do with that platform any longer. But for people who are still having both feet in there, I may as well point you guys to something of... substantial value there:

• Honest Ads: like midnight infomercial, but advertises sinister aspects of everyday products and services.
  Ones I recommend watching for PSA values are:
  
  • If Smart TV Ads Were Honest
  • If Mobile Games Were Honest
  • If Amazon Were Honest
  • If Recycling Were Honest
• Technology Connections: explaination everyday technologies, imagined as 1990s PBS show with outro music to match.
  In many people eyes, this one might not be "obscure"; as it has been on Trending front page on YouTube at least once. My most-favorite episodes are:
  
  • The Antique Toaster that's Better than Yours
  • The Antique Microwave Oven that's Better than Yours
  • The Time-Lapse VCR
  • Old-Fashioned Rice Cookers are Extremely Clever
• Techmoan: long lost appliances, gadgets, and audio formats from the past you never know you'd be interested in.
  (I think this channel originally went viral when it featured German looptape-phonograph player Tefifon from 1950s)
  
• Big Clive: one moment please! then all marvelous tricks and death traps inside Chinese-cheapo electronics shall be revealed! Scottish-style.
  (Note that this guy was already relatively well-known on the Internet even before his videocasting days. Also one of his well-circulated DIY tricks involves Dubai-ing LED lamps)
