What unexpected YouTube channels do you watch

Not an AIBU but a lighthearted thread to provide a distraction from budget related ones.

What do you watch on YouTube that you would never have imagined yourself watching. I find myself weirdly fascinated by various Australian plumbers unblocking drains, I love the Hoof GP, and I also love watching The Regal Gentleman - Dan the barber cutting hair.
So what weird and wonderful things do you all watch?

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I've recently gone down a rabbit hole of people opening Advent calendars! Some are eye-wateringly expensive and I just can't imagine ever spending that amount on one.
I also enjoy a bit of booktok drama and author shenanigans.

I watch one called "Dad How Do I", just a guy, teaching people how to unblock drains, or tie a tie. It's so wholesome.

I’ve gone down so many unexpected YouTube rabbit holes lately 😂
One I never thought I’d get into is Eva Litzenberg's channel— it’s quite new, all about language learning and bilingual parenting. Really calming, thoughtful videos, and oddly addictive even if you’re not actively raising bilingual kids! I started watching one out of curiosity and now I’m hooked.
It’s amazing what ends up becoming comfort viewing…

I weirdly got into the nursery nurse skits - I used to be in a similar customer service type role and the CF's were just as astonishing.

Also shawna the mum - family type skits.

Both just have one lass with hats, wigs and glasses playing all the different 'roles'- but it's seriously amazing how into it you can get.

I also like the hoof GP - I watched so many, I am convinced I could do the job lol

Oh, and the dude who cuts grass for free.

I don’t know if this qualifies, but I love the watching TheWhyFiles all about conspiracy theories and shady government shenanigans.

Anything my DH watches which ranges from "beard meats food" to wild camping videos and car reviews 😂
