I don't like the dudes that just scream a lot, so there goes 90% of youtube for me. :v

I like LPers that can be informative about the game while keeping the mood light, and they've gotta be funny enough to keep my interest. Also puns. I love bad puns.

I love Vicas. He 100%'d Super Mario 64 with just his feets. He only ever touched the controller with his hands when he was lifting it to get his foot on the Z-button to long-jump.

Diabetus is a really chill dude. I love that he doesn't really respond to his own jokes by giggling like a little kid; he just nonchalantly says it. His Metroid Fusion LP from 2010 is still really great, but more recently, with more Mario, he did Super Mario Galaxy 2.

They both do a lot of bad puns, Betus more-so. Especially in SMG2, it was BAD PUNS GALORE: The LP. Every episode started out with a face/space pun because of the Mario face-spaceship. Even his co-commentators just heavy-sigh at his puns now, and it just makes the delivery so much better.


Also these guys. They're not what I'd 'normally' watch, but I just love watching them together. Nate's the one that actually plays most of the time while Palisade (and occasionally other guests) commentates with him. Nate always wants a serious video; Palisade just ignores him and keeps the potty humor going strong. They're too cute together.
 
I find them very much boring and just annoying to listen to.. I mean if I want to watch a video of a game I prefer one neutral without some douche screaming throughout the video.
 
I recently fell in love with Markiplier because his reactions are super funny and his voice is pleasant to listen to. I'm keeping up with his play through of The Evil Within because his way of dealing with what happens in the game allows me to enjoy it. Normally I'd be too scared to be anywhere near something that's horror related.
That being said I also love Pewdiepie. He screams at his games a lot and he swears in Swedish, but it's all good hearted fun to me. Pewds is such a nice guy that cares about his fans too, which is always the most important thing to me when I watch a Youtuber. Someone could have the best videos but if they have a dislikable personality, then I won't be into them.

And another one falls victim to the nickname "Pewds." Tsk tsk.
I like Markiplier as well as Lancun and PeanutButterGamer. :)

He refers to himself as Pewds sometimes. And his girlfriend calls him that too (I'm subscribed to her as well), so it catches on? xD
 
i like markiplier and cryaotic. pewdiepie is just too talkative/hyperactive for my liking.

my brother told me that markiplier doesnt wear pants when recording his videos.
hehe.
 
Video Games Awesome/FarFromSubtle is one of my all-time favorites. Can't get enough of Frash, Becky, and the gang. I especially love watching their livestreams on twitch. They have a very unique gaming setup and I love their use of the green screen. Also, they do voice acting (especially Fraser) and it's really fun to hear all the different voices they come up with for characters.

Octaneblue is a friend of mine and I enjoy his stuff a lot, too. He does a lot of Nintendo LPs/streams.

I also like the Game Grumps, as their impromptu comedy never ceases to make me laugh. They're incredibly entertaining. Also on the entertainment side of things, MarioPartyTV is amazing. Their group of four playing competitive Mario Party games leaves me in stitches every time.

Aside from that, I've enjoyed GameChap, NintendoCapriSun (though I enjoyed him more in the past than I do his work now), angryponcho (again, I enjoyed his past stuff before he started doing pretty much nothing but Minecraft) and I have a soft spot for a lot of male English Let's Players. Can't get enough of the accent. : P

Tobuscus, Game Grumps, Pewdiepie, hate em.

I used to like NintendoCapriSun but it got to the point where it's like "enough of the ****ing toilet jokes, jesus christ it's not funny"

The only one I watch is MadameWario.
 
SGBLikestoPlay, BrainScratchComms, HellFireComms, chuggaconroy, ProtonJon, and the Runaway Guys.

Used to like Game Grumps as well, but I got tired of them after a while.
 
I don't watch a lot of LPs anymore, but I'll list off a few.

I really enjoy Chip & Ironicus, they're two buddies from Something Awful and try to make both entertaining and informative LPs. They mostly play Metal Gear titles, though they've also done Uncharted 1-3, No More Heroes 1 & 2, as well as some joke LPs like The You Testament and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. They also rarely swear in their videos.
(Dustmop, you might like them.)

penguinz0 does mostly one-off videos of games, and will sometimes upload voice-overs of infomercials or other videos. While he often uses vulgar humor, he has a way of breaking games or just doing stuff that's completely unexpected. All the money he makes from his videos goes directly to charity.

STAR_ and Jerma985 are the ones I turn to for silly TF2 videos, though both of them will often upload videos of them playing other games. I'd recommend watching one of STAR_'s Basically videos, he's a bit more hyperactive in those and a lot more editing goes into them, but it gives you a good feeling of what his humor is like.

Lastly there's Gaming Garbage which is mostly dead nowadays. They find and play some of the most horrendous games that they can find on the internet. It's easy to make fun of those, but the sometimes bizarre goings-on in these games are great. And Shmorky has a beautiful voice.

Apart from those, I'll sometimes watch Game Grumps (at least now that Jon is gone and Danny is in), Shesellssheshells, and whatever friends tend to link to me.

Haha, actually I do like them! There's quite a few others from SA that I enjoy but didn't list. :)

I haven't watched as much of their newer stuff -- and I still kind of prefer their RPs over their LPs -- but omg The You Testament was a beautiful disaster.

Gets an award for the shortest LP ever, even as a joke, but it's hands-down the best thing they ever did.
 
I'm a fan of Seananners, Gassymexican, Minx, Dlive, Markiplier, Cry, and some times I will watch Pewds videos. He isn't my favorite but sometimes I just like his lets plays on certain games. Toby got me into watching lets plays but I haven't kept up with him in a while.
My favorite videos of all are any prop hunt videos.
 
I like the Achievement Hunter guys. They're part of Rooster Teeth, which I kind of grew up with, so I naturally started watching their let's plays.
You also get 6 different personalities and none of them really scream for an entire video. Even more people if you count the occasional Let's Plays from people like Gus or Joel.
Hard to pick a favorite of them, but I'll go with Gavin Free since he's British.


Other than that, I don't really watch that many other Let's Players.
I'll binge on some Ben 'Yahtzee' Crowshaw and Jim Sterling every now and again since they're two more guys that don't spend the duration of the video screaming...

Though they're more of a review than a Let's Play, I tend to watch a lot of TotalBiscuit videos even if I don't plan on buying a game. He has an entertaining voice.


Just noticed that all the above names are British...




Anybody like PewDiePie...Eughh...Get them away from me. It's just so fake, forced and simply not entertaining. It just comes across as stupid, forced, childrens 'humor'.
I don't care how much of a nice guy they are and how they love their fans (I expect most gaming focused youtubers love their fans), their content is still trash and that's the part I would be watching...
 
penguinz0 / Critical. I like his content, and he's hilarious because he never shows any emotion in his voice. Literally, during his FNAF gameplay video, he was not scared at ALL and it actually made it more funny than scary because of how he commentates.
