So, you want to delve deeper into the world of YouTube and experience some of the entertainment provided by its creators? Finding a starting point in a situation like this might seem like a confusing task, if not even a little bit difficult. YouTube entertainment is no longer resumed solely to cat videos, high-pitched Fred-like impressions, and funny amateur skits. There are multiple communities, all of which have different experiences to offer to everyone. Without further ado, these are the best youtubers from every corner of YouTube entertainment.
Gaming

Undoubtedly, gaming truly exploded in the past few years and some of the biggest names on YouTube have built their Internet careers on this premise. The trend was arguably set by PewDiePie, who sits proudly at the top of the list of the most subscribed channels with an overwhelming 43 million.
During his ascension, several other youtubers followed the pattern with games such as Amnesia. Markiplier is thoroughly charming with his positivity and game diversity, jacksepticeye is for those who seek a lot of energy, and Cryaotic is a must-watch let’s-player for his calm demeanor, immersion, and dedication.

If numbers are anything to go, these beauty gurus are at the top of the game. Zoella may be the most widely recognized name of the domain, having won several awards, released two books, and her own beauty brands. But you must absolutely give a shot to veteran Michelle Phan, the ever so lively Tanya Burr, and Bethany Mota, one of the three lucky youtubers to interview President Obama.
Vlogging

Vloggers draw in huge audiences because of how relatable they are and because of their personal connection to viewers. If you wish an inter-personal connection with entertainers and enjoy mundane stories and fun activities, they are for you. Tyler Oakley is the best example for a vlogger, though he has the unfair advantage of being charmingly positive and enthusiastic.
In the case of danisnotonfire, each of his videos uniquely presents a particular theme, blended in with witty humor and dynamic sketches, while AmazingPhil prefers to enthrall audiences with stories of the strange events in his life. Finally, Jenna Marbles stands out from the crowd with her unfiltered and raw personality and her unwavering love for her dogs.
Movies & TV Shows

To watch: Cinema Sins, The Film Theorists, Nostalgia Critic, Screen Junkies
You’re a movie/TV show junkie? These three channels are all about them and all three offer a different experience. If you want your movie watching to be completely ruined by nitpicking from now on, give Cinema Sins a try, the channel where all your favorite movies are deconstructed so their flaws can be pointed out in an eerily hilarious way. If you’re a fan of crazy theories and conspiracies, see if The Film Theorists can convince you that Movie X is hiding one in it.
Many of us know him as Nostalgia Critic, an old school movie reviewer who’s been around pretty much since forever. Today, his new reviews are released on Channel Awesome and League of Super Critics. Finally, for those who don’t have the time to watch 20-minute long reviews, get your spot-on and hilarious summary from Screen Junkies, the ones responsible for the famous Honest Trailers format.
Entertainment

To watch: The Fine Brothers, NigaHiga, Smosh, IISuperwomanII
Finally, if you want some laughs or entertainment that only YouTube can provide, these are your go-to channels. The Fine Brothers and their second channel REACT are all about putting kids, teenagers, adults, and elders face-to-face with things that can draw the most interesting of reactions out of them.
As for the laughter part, NigaHiga is one of those youtubers who combine humor with creativity in an astounding part, while SMOSH vastly relies on familiar tropes and gags that can surpass the borders of the Internet. Lastly, IISuperwomanII manages to bring stand-up comedy in the form of a video and gives it a refreshing twist by making it much more natural.
