What weird things have you found yourself watching on Youtube?

I've somehow found myself addicted to watching old Corporate training videos, like McDonalds, Pizza Hut, various Supermarkets and Blockbusters. I think it's the combination of '90s nostalgia, laughing over how terrible they are, and getting to see some inside secrets.

What strange but addictive videos have you found on Youtube?

I decided to have a go at the rug cleaning video, because I thought there must be something exciting about it, but it goes on for 53 minutes. 53 minutes! 53 minutes of somebody in white wellies spraying water on a rug and pushing suds around. What am I missing?

Oh rugs being cleaned 🤩 it's my ideal job tbh.

Iamthewombat · 11/07/2020 00:44

That Blockbuster training video however is strangely compelling and barking mad.

I've been watching this woman Bailey Sarian, who does her makeup while telling true crime stories. It's really fascinating and I like watching people do their makeup.

Also not quite YouTube (although he has a YouTube channel) but i spent a considerable amount of time watching this fella on TikTok scratch of scratch cards, he hardly won anything, but buys loads.

The hoof gp.

I’m partial to traveller reviews of First class experiences on flights, sad I know but we can all dream.
I’m not talking first class from Gatwick to Madrid on BA, more Heathrow to Sydney on Emirates.

FernGilly · 11/07/2020 22:30

These are great!

poptypingchef · 11/07/2020 22:31

Pimple popping, chiropractors and my favourite is old Tv adverts, especially 80’s adverts 🙌🏻

Zoflorabore · 11/07/2020 22:32

I watch hair transplant surgery Blush I am fascinated by it and have the opposite of trypophobia so love watching the holes.

My dp and dc are horrified by it.

BeauxHeaux · 11/07/2020 22:32

Chiropractic videos. Find it strangely relaxing to hear people's bodies being cracked. There are even compilation channels like crackaddictz. I have never been to a chiropractor.

Dozer · 11/07/2020 22:41

Oooh, so many new, weird options!

I like street and themepark food ones.

AhBallix · 11/07/2020 22:42

Videos of items being fed into a crusher. My kids started watching them and I found them weirdly fascinating.

Reedwarbler · 11/07/2020 22:42

Runaway things, like runaway diesel engines, runaway jet engines and one of a runaway anchor. Fascinating and frightening at the same time.

Georgielovespie · 11/07/2020 22:57

I watch the most random stuff

But high kicks done in sync to music by dancers (usually in a high school gym)

Shoe repairs
a man who camps out with his dog in the snow
ear wax removal
powerwashing videos including the rug cleaning
car cleaning usually a horrifically dirty car inside and out
Brad Mondo and Guy Tang
Pregnancy after infertility just for the feelz
House renovations
Speed cleans (to nosey at their houses)
Gymnastics videos
It's me or the dog, I don't own a dog, don't want a dog, but I love an owner who says there is no way my dog will ever do X, followed by 2 minutes of training by Victoria who does X. Grin

High kicks video

Squirrel assault courses! Hours of my life gone but I did learn that you also get squirrels that are black so worth it really 😂😂

willowtree81 · 11/07/2020 23:13

Tiny house videos and organisation tips videos. Love them.

megletthesecond · 11/07/2020 23:30

Ballet shoes being prepared.

MsTSwift · 11/07/2020 23:37

Us super nanny. My kids older now and have always been very well behaved but I am addicted to watching Jo Frost sort out Taylor Hunter and Brady from Louisiana in 20 minutes

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 11/07/2020 23:41

Every week I watch a group.of three blokes climb a 45m tower and drop stuff off it onto other things. Gripping stuff.

woofmachine · 11/07/2020 23:53

Tiny house, urban exploration, people climbing tall structures like cranes, most dangerous paths, conspiracy theories, and my personal favourites-ukulele cover songs.

poptypingchef · 12/07/2020 07:30

LOVE a tiny house video @woofmachine. My friends does ukulele videos on YouTube. She also plays in a wedding band. One couple sent her video as an example of how they would like their first dance song as close to her version as possible. The guy they were talking to said ‘yeah that will not be a problem at all 😂😂’ When she walked out their jaw hit the floor, she said she felt like she was in one of those videos where famous people turn up to people’s weddings 😀😀😀

SandysMam · 12/07/2020 07:40

I love watching Relaxing Kinetic Sand videos, I can fall down that worm hole for hours!

Marypoppinsisnosaint · 12/07/2020 12:02

I've also been enjoying Bailey Sarian.

I can't get enough of anti mlm videos at the moment! I have no idea why but I just find it all fascinating.
