Ice Cream Sandwich, Martincitopants and NakeyJakey have me going back after sponsorblock skips it, it’s just so entertaining i’ll take the ad at this point
Danny Gonzalez definitely makes them pretty good too. But I feel like the original ones to make ads entertaining were MBMBAM in the early years. Griffin’s songs, their stupid ass bits? The money zone had me cracking the fuck up. That takes something special for me.
Seriously, I still think about the stack soap song.
Modern money zone isn’t nearly as good, but I still don’t skip it.
I’ve been going back through early MBMBAM lately. Goddamn, it was pretty much peak podcasting. I stand by that. Early-mid harmontown, early-mid MBMBAM, maybe the first two seasons of My Dad Wrote a Porno, and maybe the first few seasons of Slow Burn. The best podcasts have to offer, I think.
Also Hello Internet (RIP).
you can whitelist channels in sponsorblock
I do this for tomatoanus skits as well, those are usually pretty off the wall. My man has an entire storyline saga going on in his ad read sections.
I don’t mind these when they’re done right!!
“Hi, I’m the Adstronaght…”
I like him because his ads are funny (like his skits) AND after his skits so you don’t have to watch.
Personally, nope. I’m still annoyed. But yes, thanks for trying to make the ads amusing or whatever, YTers.
Imagine being soy for adverts.
MiniMinuteMan did a bit where he just juggled while talking about the sponsor and you know what, it fucking worked on me. Jangle those keys for me.
Did you guys know if you VPN through Albania, you don’t see YouTube adverts?
I sure as hell didn’t until a few weeks ago.
Anyway, do whatever you want to with this information :)
Any idea of why is that?
YouTube does not have any customers in Albania
I’ve read they aren’t legally allowed to show ads in some countries.
I do appreciate when they put actual effot in but with Sponsorblock i rarely see them. This meme still applies for when they get passed sponsorblock though lol
Sponsorblock
How have I never heard of this?! I just installed it, trialled it on a YouTube video, and it’s instantly one of my favorites.
Thank you!!
For anyone in a similar boat:

On that note… Also take a look at DeArrow
Same dev as SponsorBlock, same concept, just for YT Titles and thumbnails.
Users can submit titles that better describe the contents and pick a neutral thumbnail.
Also request a demo if you don’t want to pay, it will get approved
i also have DeArrow and it’s such a subtle change that you don’t even realize until you’re browsing the Tube on another device. Hoooly shit. i could feel the pressure from all the clickbait.

After Ublock, its easily my favourite addon
We will dive into the history of this franchise, but fir—
The franchise began in 1967, when…Me:
Ryan George honestly does good stuff with his advertisements
I’m surprised I haven’t seen the “Adstronaut in Ad Space” joke anywhere else.
They are so genuinely funny and I watch them both because of that and because I’m happy he’s able to make a living from his material!
savagegeese are great at this.
Bringus Studios had a video yesterday on the alpha I Dec kit for the original devkit. Not only was the segway pretty slick but it had his signature humor included which actually made me watch through half the ad. First time I didn’t skip the sponsor which I think says something about his writing and delivery
Oh, sick, new Bringus post? I’ll be in my bunk.
Ordinary Sausage occasionally makes the ads amusing.
Squire’s ads are better than the actual vids of some other YTers…
For me it’s calebcity
Even though he reuses a particular gag format in his ad segments, I do like TheWhyFiles ads
‘TomSka and Friends’ has good enjoyable ads. They generally only have the one sponsor (Surfshark VPN) but they’ve done a lot for pushing for more enjoyable ads. Their off the rails skits are ones I don’t skip
I loved his video complaining about his search for surfshark’s limit on ads, going insane in the process, not finding it, and then just doing a deadpan delivery of surfshark at the end.
I whitelist tomatoanus in sponsorblock just to follow his ad-read lore. Thats peak advertising.
