I figured it was about time for a new Top 100 UK Most Subscribed Youtubers list because the old one was a bit out of date. Had to update it to reflect Charlie McDonnell's getting his one millionth subscriber and show the changes that have occurred since last October. As always there is a lot of movement on the chart with some moving up and others dropping off to be replaced by newer channels. I always point out that you need to look beyond the Top 10 and scour the choices offered by those in the middle and the new ones debuting towards the bottom. It is getting more difficult to make the top 100 in the United Kingdom as you need at least 80K subs when just last year you could be on the list with only 40K. Here is the list of those UK YouTube channels with the highest number of subscribers. Leading the way is Charlie McDonnell with his charlieissocoollike of course. Actually, the first 4 are all on the worldwide Top 100 Most Subscribed List. First, here's the Top 10 Most Sub...

If you have been watching Charlie McDonnell's charlieissocoollike channel you have probably thought that something was a little "off" about Charlie through the years and in this video he reveals the truth of the matter. So, with the help of robotics technician Artie Blotch (as well as general lab assistant Alex Day) we find out that yes, Charlie is in fact a fabricated life form. He is a robot. It is as we all suspected from day one, what with all of those odd jump cuts (explained as being required due to overheating of the Charliebot). Now how do you explain Nerimon?

I like this one. I found it attached to the latest video by MysteryGuitarMan and thought I would check it out based on the title. That's one of the best ways to find interesting stuff on Youtube - click on videos that look interesting or have odd titles. It is from TheHumanBanana , a youtuber I hadn't seen before. Take a look: Apparently, TheHumanBanana is a banana (duh) and he simply answers 100 questions as quickly as possible. He got his inspration from Charlie McDonnell ( charlieissocoollike ) who did his video last April. Charlie actually kicked some butt in his video, answering 148 questions in two minutes, 25 seconds. But, as Charlie says in the video, he got the video idea from John Green of the vlogbrothers who made a video answering 100 questions as follows: And now here's your challenge: Can you make a video for Youtube answering 100 questions or maybe beat Charlie's record of 148 in 2:25? If you do make one, let me know here at Bradshaw's ...

Yes, Charlie McDonnell has let down the vast female membership of his viewing audience by losing the red mop top he has had for about 10 months now. He originally dyed it red on a dare and has been stuck with the Weasley-esque hairdo ever since, but as he mentions, he had enough of the jokes about "Ron Weasley Is So Cool Like" and "Charlie Weasley" so after growing it out he's finally chopped it off. As well, Charlie is all wide-angle with his new camera. It's a Canon 60D with "a big lens thing and a road video mike" for about 2 thousand pounds (that's about $3100 U.S. dollars - quite a sum) but you can see that the picture is vastly improved on his old Sony HD SR10. Must admit I liked his "tribute" to his now missing hair that's "now in the bin". Just in case you haven't seen the video where he dyed his hair, here's that video:

I just finished watching this video by charlieissocoollike or Charlie McDonnell as he is known to folks IRL and he did a sort of mini "My YouTube Story" of how he began on YouTube back 3 years, 7 months and 1 day ago. Like many, Charlie stumbled onto YouTube and found an intriguing video. Flash forward to today and Charlie has decided to make a video like the one that made the light bulb go off in his head and highlight some of his fellow youtubers that he particularly likes: I have to agree with Charlie on his choices. I've been subscribed to Wheezy Waiter since he had only 3,000 subs or so - he's since been "discovered" and now is getting gobs and gobs of new subscribers and sits at 223K subscribers. I watch Wheezy regularly (and post here about him all the time: check here for Wheezy Waiter posts on Bradshaw's Blog). Also, I liked seeing Charlie's shout out to elmify who I am also stalking, er, subbed to. I've been subbed to elmify s...

I always like seeing my favorite youtubers making a splash on the mainstream media and KTLA welcomes Hank Green (from vlogbrothers , Charlie McDonnell ( charlieissocoollike ) and of course iJustine are given a short interview on KTLA by Jessica Holmes about the upcoming VidCon which Hank Green also helped organize. Hank and Charlie sing a song about how happy they are to be on KTLA. They are expecting a big turnout for Vidcon which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles over a 3-day period beginning Friday, July 9th, 2010. All three of the youtubers interviewed will be there. So jealous I cannot attend. Maybe if there's another next year I'll spring for a ticket. At the end iJustine mentions making meaningful eye contact with Kenny G the musician. All I'm saying is Mr G better not try to put any moves on my secret Internet girlfriend if he knows what's good for him lol.
