I don't know about you, but as a regular viewer of TheWillofDC 's Winners & Losers I like how Will did this video rather than his other recent videos with the green screen. That said, there were some interesting developments in the rankings of the Top 100 Youtubers this week and Will lets us know what's what. The big winner this past week was DieAussenseiter a German YouTube channel that moved up from 80th to 77th place on the overall Top 100. "DieAussenseiter" translates into english as "The Outsider". This does show the growth of the international scope of YouTube and other channels using languages other than primarily English should take heart and receive some motivation to keep working to make more videos and channels in their native languages - there are audiences in every country that want great content in their own language. Below is a Halloween video from DieAussenseiter. DieAussenseiter is made up of two German brothers: Alexander ...

Ew, Kiwi remnants all over the place! The Annoying Orange gets a visit from a New Zealand kiwi (actually it's Kevin Brueck ) who develops a severe case of the hiccups and well, you know the rest. The bananas are played by Ian and Anthony from Smosh and the hot and sexy passion fruit is iJustine . Here are the outtakes from "Exploding Orange".

Just watched this video from TheWillofDC and was surprised he didn't mention that article about the youtubers allegedly making over $100,000 a year from YouTube. If you want to see my post about the article, check Article Out Says 10 YouTube Stars Making $100,000 A Year . Maybe Will will mention it on his YouTube News on Monday. As far as the info he provided, I am impressed by the 60,000 new subs that realannoyingorange got this past week. That is a major number! And why is a channel with about 500,000 not a YouTube partner?! I don't subscribe to jamesnintendonerd , but that has me intrigued. If anyone knows why they are not a partner, let me know in the comments.

There's an article out stating that in all likelihood, at least 10 youtubers are raking in a minimum of $100,000 a year. Sounds sweet right? Below is the list of 10 YouTube Stars and their estimated yearly income from being in the YouTube Partnership Program. 10. Natalie Tran - communitychannel - $101,000 9. The Young Turks – The Young Turks - $112,000 8. Smosh – smosh - $113,000 7. Mediocre Films – MediocreFilms - $116,000 6. Shay Carl – Shaytards - $140,000 5. Fred – Fred - $146,000 4. Ryan Higa – nigahiga - $151,000 3. Philip DeFranco – sxephil - $181,000 2. The Annoying Orange – realannoyingorange - $288,000 1. Shane Dawson – shanedawsontv - $315,000 Now I just watched Phil DeFranco's latest Vloggity and he thinks there are several holes in the article. Like the fact that Ray William Johnson isn't even on the list. Ray's show, equals 3 gets about 25 million views a month and he's been getting new subscribers at an almost unbeliev...

Charles Trippy & Alli Speed are at Alli's parents' place to check up on their lovable dog Tyson, who was attacked by two other dogs a few days ago and has been forced to wear a cone. Poor mutt. Before they leave, Alli & her mom are going through all the submissions to the thirsty doggie contest (if you missed the contest, you're too late, but you can watch the video where they announce the contest in my post: Tweet A Pic Of Your Dog & Win A Dog Water Bottle From CTFxC ). They'll probably announce the winners on their website: internetkilledtv.com early next week. Charles also mentions a video that makemebad35 sent him of a band with a drummer that looks remarkably like Charles. Right down to the earrings. Later, they're looking through a bunch of photo albums and we see singer Gregg Allman who Charles' dad played drums for at one time while Allman was touring. Also we see his dad has become a fan of realannoyingorange . Allman is also seen...

I knew it! Just like I said in Real Annoying Orange Gets A Mystery Guest , I knew who it would be that visits realannoyingorange . Nope, not Bieber. It's the only other Youtuber who could possibly rival the tangerine-colored dude in sheer annoyance level, Fred Figglehorn . First, with a visit from Liam the Leprechaun seeking revenge on Orange after he was crushed by his own pot o' gold. If you haven't seen Liam's first encounter with Orange, here's a the video:

So, who do you think will be the mystery guest on realannoyingorange next friday? I say it will be Fred but if it turns out to be Justin Bieber, Orange has confided in me that he will use his laser eyes. Hard to believe how popular Orange has become so quickly. The annoying little fruit is currently sitting in 19th spot as you can see in my post Top 25 Youtubers As Of June 13, 2010 . He's perched just under the yummy MichellePhan . Having Michelle hovering over top of you would be a nice spot to be IMHO. Lucky Orange. The channel, reallyannoyingorange has been crushing (get it? A lame orange crush reference? OK, I'm done) his competition and wasn't even in the top 100 6 months ago. Just 3 months ago he had 336,590 subs and in the last update he had 737,675! That's 400k new followers in 3 months! He's doing something right.
