It's Just Some Random Guy
This is a channel where a man plays with superhero action figures while doing voice over for them and it is the most low budget show you can imagine, no fancy camera, no elaborate sets, just a guy holding action figures in front of a wall and doing silly voices. But that's not to say there is no production value, the sound quality is very nice, and a lot of people will tell you that sound is just as (if not more) important than visuals. Not to mention the voice acting and comedic writing is top notch, the majority of it done by just one guy and if you're a Marvel or a DC fan then you are going to get a big laugh out of this.
Game Theory
Game Theory combines several things I love, videogames, flashy effects and SCIENCE!!! All to come up with the most detailed and researched fan theories you will ever hear someone go into, discussing the hidden lore of Five Nights at Freddy's, discussing whether the floating city of Columbia can exist and oh so many theories on how Mario is a communist/villain/ego-maniac...only on Game Theory.
The Flick Pick (John Flickster)
John Flickster isn't on this list because of his content but more so for his style and presentation, he's a man that excels at the weird and the over the top nature that can easily turn people off for thinking he is...well, psychotic, but I absolutely love it. Out of all the top movie critics on YouTube his seems to be the most niche yet also successful, a perfect combo of the two.
Little Kuriboh
Though he doesn't make as many videos as he used to for several reasons, Little Kuriboh is absolutely hilarious, a man who does voice-over parodies of a children's anime. You get a lot of these abridged series these days but most people would agree the two main ones are Team Four Star and Little Kuriboh, but LK is the one who has been doing it longer (I think) and also comes across as much more of a specific taste, while I love TFS, someone could watch and enjoy their stuff even if they haven't seen Dragonball Z, and because of that, LK feels more unique and considering that it's mostly a one man job and less professionally made, it makes me respect him more.
NerdCubed
If you were to pick the one genre of videos that could define YouTube it is let's players, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Let's Players, and for the most part a shit ton are garbage, but that doesn't deny the fact that of all genres on YouTube, they are most definitely the YouTubest...So i have to put atleast one on here, and my favourite Let's Player on YouTube is NerdCubed, most because he's actually funny, he has interesting opinions, he doesn't just do clickbait videos like Five Nights at Freddy's or Goat Simulator, he has genuine talent unlike a lot of Let's Players and in a market with so many options, he still stands out amongst them all.
D Piddy
A man cosplays as Deadpool and goes to dozens of conventions and makes an absolute fool of himself and goofing off with other cosplayers and just having a ton of fun doing it. Now you may think that this would get old after a while but it really doesn't, he comes up with new ideas to present it, cosplays as other characters from time to time and even does a few sketches and songs. D Piddy shows everything great about cosplay and conventions, how much fun you can have and celebrating the nerdy. Being nerdy is more popular now than it's ever been and D Piddy shows that off by showing how much fun being nerdy can be.
Rob Scallon
YouTube has allowed for a lot of musicians out there to try something new, to give what the studios would never see as successful, Lindsay Stirling, Tay Zonday and the one that I find to be a niche...iest is Rob Scallon, where else can you find someone play a heavy metal song with a banjo, or make a ballad out of a Theremin or play one note per Wheezy Waiter video or write a song called "I Fufufufucking Love Christmas".
God I fucking love YouTube sometimes, they don't always deliver on the weird and wonderful, but when they do it's excellent.
