THE MOST BIZARRE YOUTUBE CHANNELS
BY JONATHAN H. KANTOR
If you think you know all the interesting channels on YouTube, you are probably fooling yourself. Every minute, an average of 400 hours of video is uploaded, and nearly 5 billion individual videos are watched every day. Fortunately, we have compiled a list of some of the most bizarre YouTube channels out there, so you can experience the same nightmares we did while researching this list. You're welcome!
LARRY CARLSON
Have you ever thought to yourself, "I wonder what it would be like to trip my face off on acid, but not actually have to afford, procure, or actually drop acid?" Well, you finally have a chance to live your dream, now that you've discovered the trippy, psychedelic world of Larry Carlson.
Carlson is a visual artist who makes videos solely to make the viewer feel like they are hallucinating. You may have even seen one of his more famous videos, "IN YOUR CUBE," which you can check out above, if you missed it. There isn't much you can watch on YouTube that's creepier, unless you're the kind of person who finds Speak & Spell-voiced ventriloquist dummies soothing.
Carlson continues to upload to his channel regularly, so you can subscribe and virtually trip like you never have before. Be careful watching these videos, though, because they could cause headaches and possibly seizures. No, we are not kidding about that.
DON'T HUG ME, I'M SCARED
Don't Hug Me I'm Scared is a webseries that finally answers the question, "What would a children's show like Sesame Street look like if you mixed it with Five Nights at Freddy's and sprinkled in a little bit of South Park?" That's pretty much what you have when you sit down to watch the craziness that is DHMIS. There have only been six episodes of the show in five years, but that's okay, because you'll probably need a significant amount of time to collect yourself after each episode. This show is like the opposite of bingeworthy.
The show involves your typical puppet characters in a classroom setting. The teacher starts singing a song about whatever theme they are going with for the episode. So far, they have done creativity, time, love, technology, diets, and dreaming. Of course, it wouldn't be on this list if that's all it was. The song and the action on screen develops into a nightmarish horror show of gore and irony. It's weird, it's gross, it's hilarious, and it's definitely not for kids, unless you want to turn them into the kind of sick freaks that make shows like DHMIS. Ah, the circle of life.
FAT-PIE
Fat-Pie is a channel run by David John Firth, a successful British animator whose work has been featured on the BBC. The channel offers Firth a platform for his more experimental side — most of the character animation on Fat-Pie is crude and nothing like the polished work he does professionally. His animation on the channel is weird, to say the least. Newcomers should first check out the Salad Fingers series. Yep: Salad Fingers.
