Defunctland has some of the best researched stuff I’ve seen. His dive into the Disney Channel Theme is absolutely incredible.
If you want a rabbithole watch mort theory
holy shit thank you, i needed something to do nothing with my night
Mort is the devil or whatever. Real shit
Also sponge bob skin theory. Dude had a little video putzing around, then a couple years later dropped a couple hour long video to convince people of some absolutely wild shit about sponge bob, then just disappeared.

The real commitment is when somebody like Plainly Difficult uploads an annual omnibus of all their videos for the year. I watched them all individually, then I watch them again in 9 hour form.

Video essays somehow skip past my eternally short attention span
Only when they become a recap of the subject for 90% of it do I get annoyed, lol.
I’ve never even thought to look into JP lore. But this is my front page now
False alarm,hbomberguy did not publish recently
I mean, you gotta learn about the failure of the Star Wars hotel!
I didn’t wake up planning to watch a 4hr video in the failure of the Star Wars hotel but I’m weirdly glad I did
Jenny’s video was so damn good, I’ve started watching her back catalog.
My wife: we’re not going to watch a 4hr video about the Stars Wars Hotel.
My wife, 3hs50min into the Star Wars Hotel video: I need to know more!!

I thought hbomberguy uploaded :(
Yeah ditto :( but Jenny Nicholson released a 4 hour video on the Star Wars Hotel just recently.
10/10 video. She knocked it out of the park.
YT pushed me her Evermore one last night, was the first I ever heard of it. Good video, accurate meme
And it’s so ridiculously good. The NYT even wrote an article about it.
Wait, that’s awesome! I’ll have to check that out :)
Sorry to give you false hope 😔
But I still believe that we’ll get at least one video this year!
In case you didn’t know, Münecat recently uploaded a three-hour video debunking evolutionary psychology: https://youtu.be/31e0RcImReY
I figure the overlap between hbomberguy and münecat viewers in the Venn diagram is basically a circle, so that should help if you have an hbomberguy craving.

I have never played genshin impact and I object fundamentally to gatcha games. But I like video games a lot. Should I watch?
Definitely! I never played it too and the video was amazing!
Bobby broccoli! So good
There’s a lot of YouTubers that started doing big videos like that and i just don’t have the time to watch something like that and give it all my attention. Same with caddicarus, used to watch both of these a lot but since they started having massively long videos i just haven’t bothered with them in ages
I would guess 80% of the people who watch these aren’t actually watching them. Hell, background play is the real reason I pay for YouTube Premium. Not having to worry about ads is a nice bonus.
You definitely don’t have to watch it all in one go. I usually just watch however much of it I want to watch that day and then send myself a time stamped link to pick it back up whenever I have the time and interest again
Of course if you’re just not interested that’s totally fair
I usually have those kind of things in the background while I cook or wash dishes.
At that point, you’re basically just listening to podcasts. Leaning into it might be a good choice, since there’s no visual element that gets lost when listening to podcasts, as compared to YouTube videos.
I think you’d also like NakeyJakey’s game design essays and infernoplus on halo modding.
Thank you for sharing your playlists!

Glad to see Tim Rogers on that playlist - guy is one of the best in the biz
Technology connections.
Ahoy.
My favorite is summoning salt.
Yeah me too. I had no idea I could be fascinated by something I had absolutely no interest in.
Also Cathode Ray Dude
And then for a hat trick, throw in Big Clive.
He’s the perfect size—they shouldn’t make YouTubers bigger than that
Also chec km out Fredrik Knudsen’s DTRB
I have not been able to get up from a single one of his videos. They’re all addictively well-paced and written. All great vids.
The 6 hour video about EVE Online was a ride.
One of my absolute favorites!
