Ask Lemmy

Wade "Dankmus" Nixon runs a whole bunch of YouTube channels with insanely funny humor, I've been following him for a long time.

DankPods is where he uploads tech related stuff, which initially started with iPods, then headphones and audio gear, then more general things.

Garbage Time is where he gawks at cars with his friend James (who has a channel of his own). It started out as a variety channel, but later went to being car-related specifically.

The Drum Thing... it's obvious what this one's about. Although he actually talks about cymbals more than drums in this channel. Irony.

Hello, I'm Gaming is where he plays pretty crappy games, but his humor makes them not crappy.

Before all this was known, he had another channel called Dankmus, where he uploads musical remixes of popular Simpsons episodes (I guess you could call them YTPMVs, but I'd rather not use that name anymore)

He's also done a few collaborations with Linus Media Group which is pretty neat, and even streams on their video platform, Floatplane.

Rusty Cage He built a guillotine in his back yard while rambling about about crazy ideologies and living in a tent. He called it a lemon slicer

The vegan scene on YouTube is full of crazy. Not to put shade on vegans but it seems every vegan youtuber is severely mentally ill.

I was a postmortem scientist for a decade, and have a show called After Death, which focuses on SFX makeup and embalming, based on gruesome ways people have died! It's on a page called Bad Day HQ which focuses on the worst days in history... crime, death, natural disasters, conspiracies, cryptuds, etc. Honestly best side gig ever. I love being teach people about really morbid stuff.

My work. This was shot at the Anatomy of Death Museum in Michigan... And the channel itself. They won Emmy awards back in the 90s/2000s

It has:

• Mine disasters, where companies shut off oxygen, sacrificing people, so they wouldn't lose profits

• Deadliest human stampedes, where people were so concerned with getting to events that they trampled, crushed, and suffocated hundreds of people

• Famines that wiped out large percentages of entire countries, that mirror what's happening right now

• History behind the Bermuda Triangle and the stories of planes and ships that have vanished there

• Stories of some of the darkest crimes in history... from serial killers to gruesome, morbid deaths

• Disasters and crimes that happened On This Day!

I'm really proud and have a plethora of knowledge, so please ask away. Actually ran the Wayne State Funeral History Museum for 3 years 🥰

SickAnimation from the olden days of YouTube.

He is no longer with us, but lookup videos of Terry Davis. There's lots of documentaries about him but it should be easy to find his stream clips, if you just want to watch him.

Paranoid schizophrenic who spent 10 years creating his own operating system from scratch because God told him to.

Jon Levi is good! [Conspiracy]

Aside from ones I've already mentioned:

• The Thought Emporium (purposefully infected himself with a self-made genetically engineered virus, to fix his lactose intolerance, as well as (CW: Gore) made a tutorial on how to give yourself magnet implants, now trying to teach living rat neurons to play DOOM)

I am really frustrated that I don't remember the names of these:

• someone who made a tutorial on how to make an illegally encrypted radio transmitter
• some guy making seemingly illegal chemicals (NOT nilered)

PilotRedSun! Completely unhinged. Absolutely love it. Their album is actually really good too. Pure LSD trip of a channel.

Moreso about his crippling fear of aliens, but Joel Vinesauce has some utterly bizarre and nuts segments. His Voices of the Void stuff is hilarious and his paralyzing fear makes him super entertaining. He also does weird youtube video nights where he watches creepy youtube videos.

Well, maybe not legitimately crazy, though don't say that within earshot: IAmCrusty is a lunatic who goes on, uh...misadventures in SkyrimVR.

"Vegan Gains" is pretty unhinged

Supereyepatchwolf. Or Dantes.

It's fictional, but if you want weirdness, check out Alan Tutorial. If you watch them in order, it doesn't start out unhinged, but it gets there...

Not sure this is quite what you're looking for by CYRIAK makes some pretty weird animations that I would call unhinged.

Also, Don Herzfeldt's animations are pretty weird. Oh, and Day Job Orchestra

jreg

Nyanners

Perhaps a bit tame by those standards but explosions & fire or his second channel, extractions & ire. They're good for watching an Australian man's mental health decline while he tinkers with dangerous chemicals in a dilapidated shed full of equipment that looks like it needs to be put out of its misery. On the topic of strange Australians, garbage time is on the lighthearted side of unhinged. Watch as he and his friend ~~torture~~ restore clapped out shitboxes

Camping With Steve.

I think he started out documenting his homelessness and where he camped, but after becoming homeful, he kept going out and stealth coming in really weird places. Abandoned buildings, caves, mines, roundabouts, highway median strips, under bridges. Sometimes he camps in regular camp grounds, just in whacky shelters like cardboard boxes or blanket forts. Sometimes he secretly sleeps in his car.
