  (#3) Mamrie Hart

  • 1983-09-22

  We don't know why there are so many people named "Hart" on this list, but we guess you know what to change your name to now if you're planning to embark on a career of YouTube fame. Mamrie collaborates quite a bit with Tyler Oakley, Hannah Hart (NOT her sister, just a fellow person-by-the-name-of-Hart) and Grace Helbig, and also runs her own comedy channel.
•

  • 1979-06-28

• 

  (#5) Anna Akana

  • 1989-08-18

  First rising to fame through her participation in Ray William Johnson's comedy channel "Equals Three," Anna has branched out and now has her very own series. The channel includes bizarre and hilarious skits like "Pregnapocalypse" (in which all of the women on planet Earth simultaneously wake up to discover they are nine months pregnant), humorous reflections on beauty and body image, and the occasional poignant confessional.
• 

  (#6) GloZell

  • 1962-07-30

  GloZell Green's trademarks are her florescent green lipstick and her ebullient attitude. Her comedy channel is a goldmine of physical comedy, bizarre food challenges, and pop culture parodies.
• 

  (#7) grav3yardgirl

  • 1985-08-03

  Bunny's channel is basically a beauty and fashion channel, but with more of a punk/DIY flavor. She's best known for her series of guerilla beauty product reviews, "Does This Thing Really Work?" wherein she applies questionable contraptions and admixtures to her person in order to figure out whether they do what their TV infomercials claim they are supposed to do (she sometimes features non-beauty products on this segment as well, like in this video review for The Phantom Saucer).
  
• 

  (#8) Emily Graslie

  Emily Graslie is the host of "The Brain Scoop," one of the most entertaining, informative, and irreverent science series' you will ever watch on YouTube, or anywhere else. Shot at the Chicago Field Museum, "Brain Scoop" showcases the institution's massively eclectic collection of fossils, artifacts, and anthropological specimens.

  Graslie chats with the Museum's employees and gives historical background on the collection, which is often grouped in some funny and surprising ways ways.
• 

  (#9) Vi Hart

  Vi Hart runs a few YouTube channels, and it may seem like a hard sell at first when I tell you her favorite subjects are math and probability. Never fear, though! Hart's animated videos make mathematical concepts not only entertaining, poignant, and funny, but relevant to your actual life.

  She is also a musician and posts off-kilter art videos like these. (You might have seen her video circulating a few months ago on Net Neutrality.)
• 

  (#10) Laci Green

  • 1989-10-18

  Laci Green runs the funny and informal adult sex education channel Sex+, where she offers advice, anecdotes, and medical info on a range of sex and gender-related topics. She's also not afraid to take on the social dimensions of sex-related issues, like transgender identities, polyamory, and slut shaming.
• 

  (#11) Hart

  You may know lesbian rapper Hart from her viral Watermelon video a few months back, but her entire channel is hilarious and amazing. She's got advice videos, neat, uncategorizable stuff like this, and of course, an instructional twerking video.
• 

  (#12) Siobhan Thompson

  Thompson's educational comedy channel, Anglophenia, explores the ins and outs of British culture, from food to accents to the ever-elusive Benedict Cumberbatch. Educational and entertaining!
• 

  (#13) Angelina L.B. (albinwonderland)

  With her trademark fuscia hair, Angelina posts humorous videos on a host of subjects (she even has an ASMR channel!) usually having to do with Feminism, nerd culture, and femininity in general. She also occasionally posts product reviews and hair and make-up tutorials.
• 

  (#14) Issa Rae

  Producer, writer, and director Issa Rae runs her own YouTube channel and also does content for iamOTHER. Her series "Awkward Black Girl" is a personal confessional comedy series, and the slightly more recent "Ratchetpiece Theater" hilariously breaks down popular rap lyrics.
• 

  (#15) Critical Lit

  This channel is still brand spankin' new, but it's already thought provoking and hilarious. Run by a New Zealander, the videos that are up so far mostly examine the relationship between modern, Internet-inspired colloquialisms and classic English, debunking the myth that Internet lingo is destroying our society.
• 

  (#16) Casey Jane Ellison

  Casey Jane Ellison is a digital artist, standup comedienne, and all-around provocateur who basically singlehandedly runs the YouTube channel VFiles for V Magazine. Her videos obscurely lampoon celebrity culture, the fashion industry, and the world of fine art, while simultaneously celebrating their overlapping absurdity. Ellison is also the host of Ovation's YouTube series Touching the Art – "the only all-female art talk show."
• 

  (#17) Pia Glenn

  • 1977-01-24

  Actress and xoJane contributor Pia Glenn's YouTube channel is the home of "Black Weekend Update," a series that both parodies and counterpoints mainstream news media by focusing on events relevant to Black culture. Glenn plays a rotating cast of characters who interact with each other to deconstruct media representations of Black people in American culture. (Glenn appears to be on brief hiatus since July, but we're hoping she'll return shortly). 
• 

  (#18) Anita Sarkeesian

  • 1984-01-01

  Say what you will, but Anita Sarkeesian's biting media commentary, hosted most compellingly on her channel Feminist Frequency, is undeniably a force to be reckoned with. Sarekeesian's series, Tropes vs. Women in Video Games, has made her an object of virulent scorn in some gaming circles recently, due to its damning criticism of the medium's deeply-rooted issues with misogyny – she even had to leave her home recently after receiving disturbingly specific threats of violence.

  The truth is, even if you don't agree with her 100%, Sarkeesian's videos are well-researched and compelling thinkpieces, and she deserves as much attention as she's getting (although we wish so much of it wasn't terrifying and negative).
