Whether you want to become a vlogger, or just love good entertainment, hopefully this post will help you out a bunch!
Do you know more vloggers that you love and aren’t on this list? Make sure to tell me on the comments and I might update this post to feature them in here!

There are many gaming channels out there in YouTube, but almost none of them also record vlogs to enrich and diversify their content. This isn’t the case for KOSDFF.

It is definitely something you should check out if you love gaming.

Evan talks just about any subject he can think of, but he uses lots of ironic humor to spice things a bit.

Clara Henry

Clara is just a Swedish girl that loves traveling and making people laugh. Even though her videos are in Swedish, she puts subtitles in English —which is something extremely rare—, so she’s one person you should watch if you find it interesting knowing people from foreign countries.
She’s extremely funny and likable, so what is there not to like about her?
Lazyron Studios
Subscribers: 1.000.000+
Aaron is a native of the Philippines, but he grew in the United States. He loves challenges and gets involved in funny situations constantly for the sake of entertaining his viewers.One thing I should point out is that he puts extreme effort in uploading a video blog every day.

However, his video blogging channel has a bit more variety and receives constant updates about his life and travels. Of course, there’s still a space for a bit of football there too.
ilikeweylie
Subscribers: 1.600.000+
Weylie Hoang’s channel is technically a beauty channel, but it’s at the same time much more than just that. She loves giving advices to what her readers ask, even if doesn’t have to do with style.Additionally, she throws in between the tutorials really cool videos about her life. What I love is how dedicated her vlogs are. She actually cares about explaining what happens through her mind. One example is her recent move to Los Angeles, where she recorded three videos for each stage: apartment hunting, the move and some thoughts about this new change in her life.

From Head To Toe
Subscribers: 1.200.000+
This YouTube channel/blog has built a lot of reputation since Jen founded them in 2008. That’s a lot of time and effort, but it was well worth it as it stands as one of the most successful beauty blogs out there.
On her channel she combines many tutorials with some personal vlogs just to keep her followers updated. She is the kind of vlogger that prefers giving her viewers more useful tutorials rather than personal life videos, but she still keeps them updated, which is a good balance.

Arielle made this channel to help people in the LGBT culture. However, she also has some tips for heterosexual people. You can learn anything from relationship, sex and just life in general. She loves bringing in guests to hear their opinion on diverse subjects.

Subscribers: 3.000.000+
Nadeshot was a professional Call of Duty that won several first places between 2011 and 2015. Since then he’s been dedicating full time to his YouTube channel and he has made it big there too. He loves vlogging and videogames so you can expect a mix of both in his content.

CaseyNeistat
Subscribers: 7.400.000
Casey Neistat is just a guy that loves creating and telling stories. He started getting really famous after making short films that caught the attention of the public and even some big companies like Apple and HBO.
His unique filming style can easily be recognized in his vlogs. If you watch one of his videos without knowing the author, you will instantly recognize it was made by Casey Neistat, if you know his work. The way he leaves his brand in his vlogs is something you should study if you are an aspiring vlogger.

Subscribers: 400.000+
Codee is a car lover that also enjoys recording highly entertaining vlogs. He loves to bait his audience with sometimes gross thumbnails and attractive titles that make you click without thinking twice. However, he does know how to entertain his followers and certainly knows how to deliver something worth watching after that click.
SHAYTARDS
Subscribers: 5.000.000
What to say about Shaytards? If you don’t know them, you probably haven’t been around YouTube for too long. This vlogging channel documents the life of a big family of 6. They look like a happy family that loves joking around a lot, especially Shay Carl who handles the channel as a kind of a “host”
It really isn’t hard to understand why this channel got so big. You can basically see how a typical American family grows while sitting on your couch.
DOSEofFOUSEY
Subscribers: 4.000.000
Yousef Saleh Erakat, also known as Fousey, is another really big vlogger. He loves pranks and cars, but in his core he is an artist. Yousef started as an actor majored in theatre arts.He then started making fitness videos but found real success in his prank videos. His main channel fouseyTUBE stands strong on 10 million subscribers and it doesn’t seem like it will stop growing any time soon.
RomanAtwoodVlogs
Subscribers: 12.000.000+
With that amount of subscribers is easy to grow an enormous ego. But that’s not the case for Roman Atwood. He was one of the first pranksters on YouTube, but he abandoned that first channel —even though he got it up to 10 million— to dedicate to document his life with wife and children.
Needless to say that to get so famous he had to do some really heavy pranks to go viral. That might not be something he is proud of, but it did earn him fame and lots of money for his family.
Alex Wassabi
Subscribers: 2.400.000
Alex Burriss is one of the most successful YouTubers out there. He hit it big when he published a parody song of the song Call Me Maybe when it was massively popular. His parody video was so funny and so on time that it went viral and has now an incredible amount of 120 million views.
Since then he hasn’t stopped posting funny videos on his main 8 million subs channel Wassabi Productions. Alternatively he has a video blogging channel that even though it is a lot smaller, it is also very successful.
BFvsGF
Subscribers: 9.000.000+
Boyfriend versus Girlfriend became really big as a prank channel where —you guessed it— both partners were making pranks on each other in an infinite spiral of funny vengeance. This channel was run by Jeana Smith and Jesse Wellens.
Sadly, they split up and now the channel is managed by Jeana Smith. Jesse has his now also hi own vlogging channel, which was previously a prank channel that has now turned into more of a personal diary recorded in video blogs.
Both channels are between the top video blogging channels with most subscribers.
FunForLouis
Subscribers: 2.000.000
Louis is one of the first travel vloggers. Even though he began with a food channel, he made it big recording travel vlogs. He is an adventurous guy so he is always doing exciting stuff in his videos. But one thing that really makes his videos unique is that he has really good recording year and does know a couple of filming tricks to make some eye-catching shots that truly add up value to his content quality.

Mo Vlogs
Subscribers: 3.600.000+
You don’t always find a vlogger that drives a different super car every day. He is a young 21 years old guy that is currently living in Dubai. He is from a very rich family and found a passion in making video blogs. And we have to say: that’s a nice career choice for him, since money attracts lots of viewers.Still, not everything is about money.

Subscribers: 3.500.000+
Thatcher is another YouTuber that loves pranks and gaming. He is also a skateboarder, although it´s not something he shows a lot in his videos. His main channel has already reached the 8 million subs, which is pretty close to her sister Zoella’s 11 million.
Joey Graceffa
Subscribers: 7.800.000+
If we could describe Joey in one word, it would probably be colorful. If you don´t believe us, just look at his videos’ thumbnails. Either way, he is a really energic guy that uses his YouTube channel for his own creative expression. He combines some vlogs with just about anything else you could imagine: from pranks to a fiction series.
We can all agree that Joey doesn´t lack creativity and spark to entertain. And that’s why he has so many followers.
Logan Paul Vlogs

His YouTube channel is incredibly original. You will find from travel videos to parkour with videogame characters.
JennaMarbles
Subscribers: 17.400.000+
Jenna was definitely destined to be a big vlogger. As soon as she released her seventh video she went viral. That’s an incredibly fast way to go big. However, at that time YouTube was just starting, so besides recording funny videos, she did it at the right time.
She’s known for making people laugh in her videos often disguised as life tips. Her humor, consistency and being one of the first doing this made her channel one of the top best.

Mat Dubé and Danielle Chabassol own a YouTube channel made for people looking to enjoy life at its fullest for the minimum requirements. This channel is a bit different from the others on this list because it doesn’t exactly work like a typical vlog. This is more about the life of others rather than the life of the channel owners themselves.

LaurDIY
Subscribers: 6.000.000+
Lauren was so obsessed with the Do-It-Yourself culture that she decided to create her own channel around that. And now it stands as one of the most successful YouTube channels.
