I love videos on how to speak English, and also the cultural challenges of moving to live in England. They all say the same things but I can't get enough of them

I am a little bit obsessed with a beautiful elderly baboon called Cindy.
She was orphaned as a baby and brought up on farm in Namibia who rescue animals, they are not pets.
Shes now 30 years old and blind so needs more care, but what a character she is, she acts as a foster mother to the meerkats and wart hogs, but doesn't like sharing her food. The love this family have for her is incredible.
I follow the posts on Facebook.

Ah I watched her climbing onto a chair this afternoon. What a lovely old girl she is.

I also love pimple popping
Restocks
Amazon best buys
Buster the Labrador (the most water obsessed dog you ever knew)
The half husky twins

Dhar Mann - the ending is always beyond predictable but can’t help but watch. The terrible ‘acting’ probably helps.

Hoolihan · 04/06/2025 17:16

ASMR soap crushing. Love it. Also jetwashing. People falling in puddles.

Yes I also am compelled to watch these and similar. We call them Morality Plays.
Not only is the acting terrible but they have a very small cast to pick from. I am rather fond of the middle aged man with blond hair which sometimes looks like spaghetti. There is a woman always cast as a vile character with mesmerising lipstick.
Always a happy ending, frequently involving a racist woman being arrested.

Cairn terrier puppies, a man in the Scottish Isles who has a West Highland Terrier, dogs jumping in pools and cats being weird. Also freakishly good musicians and that guy that remixes cat sounds into songs. Oh and gardening tips 😁

PurpleLemonade7 · 04/06/2025 18:46

Aesthetically pleasing house cleaning
That creepy "We're making some bagels" lady
North sea videos
AI cats

TwoTabbyCatsLife · 04/06/2025 19:04

Urban exploration, especially drains, culverts and abandoned mines.
Creepy UFO/paranormal stuff.
Cats and kittens.
Deep dives into songs/albums/arists.

NegroniMacaroni · 04/06/2025 19:26

A bit niche, but there's a guy who creates drawings in his lucid dreams and then recreates them upon waking, it's fascinating.

InjuryMyArse · 04/06/2025 19:47

I like haircutting videos. Just find them strangely relaxing. Sometimes cleaning videos, but feel guilty about watching instead of actually doing some cleaning myself. 😂

LozzaCh0ps · 04/06/2025 19:49

Hedgelaying!

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 04/06/2025 19:53

Nursery Nurse
Shawna videos

Im fully invested in the lore of both.

Pimple popping.

Those Reel shorts videos where everyone is so cruel to someone but it thennl turns out they are ceo or something

Dhar Mann

I obviously have no life.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 04/06/2025 20:10

People packing their lunch. It's utterly ridiculous, but so compelling...

Moveoverdarlin · 04/06/2025 20:11

Pool cleaning, hedge trimming, dog grooming.

BigRenoLittleBudget · 04/06/2025 20:12

LilyRose88 · 04/06/2025 13:45

Doorbell cam videos where people fall over
Pimple popping
Charity shop hauls
Cats doing silly things
Extreme thifters
Solo campers

Almost exactly this list but also
people cleaning or decluttering their houses
cats being absolute dicks for no reason

BigRenoLittleBudget · 04/06/2025 20:13

Oh I forgot! Food shop hauls with meal plans! No idea why as I never use them as inspiration for my own meal plans. I just like watching what people buy at the supermarket 🤷‍♀️ 😂

cakewitch · 04/06/2025 20:14

Rug cleaning. Neglected swimming pool cleaning. A bloke that builds fantastic swimming pools in America.

SuperGinger · 04/06/2025 20:17

and videos of corgies, I don't even like them that much but I'm a sucker

Baby lambs/alpacas/cows/donkeys .. too cute

also a random American man who goes around giving strangers $1000.. always seems to pick the most in need people ‘randomly’ - so random it seems like it could be scripted though 🤷‍♀️

PhilosophicalCheeseSandwich · 04/06/2025 20:29

The strange young woman who gets her grandmother to rate out of 10 everything she eats. Jessica and Norma.

Jacket potato vans. I love watching them cut the potatoes and put the butter on.

Travis and Sigrid. Not ridiculous really, Sigrid is an absolute queen.

Lulu1919 · 04/06/2025 20:36

I watch a man who looks after horses hooves !!!

DeSoleil · 04/06/2025 20:37

playlovelearn.se with Alvin is also lovely.

Properjob · 04/06/2025 20:37

Say Yes to the Dress. All versions especially Big Brides. I find it really emotional

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 04/06/2025 20:41

ASMR massages, particularly the really fancy head ones with all the water pouring over.... gives me the tingles.
And GeoWizard on YouTube. He gets sent photographs and then used Google Earth and various maps to find out where they were taken. Particularly good when it's a very old picture of someone's grandma and the sender needs to know where it was.
Interiors videos because I love criticising other people's houses.
ADHD decluttering people, like Clutterbug.

DepositSaverUpper · 04/06/2025 20:45

Cleaning reels
Organisation reels

Obsessed it gives me motivation
