Submit a channelThe best comedy YouTube channels in 2026 are Drew Gooden for commentary, Gus Johnson for sketch, and Corridor Crew for VFX humour — but the full list covers every style of YouTube comedy. Here are the 8 funniest channels worth following.
Drew Gooden is one of YouTube's most consistent comedy writers — his long-form video essays analysing bad movies, internet trends, and pop culture phenomena are meticulously crafted with genuine comedic payoff. His 'a] intro and the '2 guys' format have become part of YouTube's shared vocabulary. Among the most rewatchable commentary channels on the platform.
Vines-era creator Danny Gonzalez has carved out a unique space combining comedy commentary with original music parody. His song-based takes on internet trends and bad content are genuinely catchy, and his commentary videos rival Drew Gooden's in comedic precision. The Danny–Drew collaboration universe is some of the best co-creator content on YouTube.
Gus Johnson's sketch comedy is rooted in a distinctly Midwestern American absurdism — mundane situations taken to their logical extreme, played completely straight. His videos about 'how it feels to call someone bro for the first time' or his film-school parodies are masterclasses in deadpan. One of the few YouTube comedians with a truly original voice.
Corridor Crew's 'VFX Artists React' series — where professional VFX artists break down movie effects shot by shot — is one of the most entertaining professional commentary formats on YouTube. Their warmth, in-jokes, and genuine expertise make the channel funny as much as informative. The rare case of professional content that's also laugh-out-loud entertaining.
One of YouTube's original comedy channels, Smosh has reinvented itself multiple times and now operates as a full sketch comedy production house with a rotating ensemble cast. Their game shows, role-play sketches, and parody content have a specific Gen Z energy. For viewers who want produced, high-volume comedy, Smosh is still the most reliable comedy machine on the platform.
Jimmy Donaldson has built the most-subscribed YouTube channel in history on a formula of escalating challenges, large-scale philanthropy stunts, and reality-TV production values. Whether you find his content funny depends on your relationship with spectacle, but there's no denying MrBeast's videos deliver consistent entertainment at a scale nobody else on YouTube matches.
One of YouTube's most cult comedy channels, Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik is an elaborate, escalating absurdist performance art project disguised as internet literacy tutorials. Each video starts as a guide to internet commenting and ends somewhere entirely different. Acquired taste, massive payoff — the comments section is part of the joke.
Ryan George's 'Pitch Meeting' format — two characters (both played by Ryan) pitching increasingly absurd movie plots — is one of YouTube's most perfectly executed recurring comedy formats. His Screen Rant Pitch Meeting series and standalone sketches demonstrate exceptional comedic writing with a remarkably consistent delivery.
