Some More News is kinda like the Colbert Report, but rather it's a deep dive on a single topic about the latest news

The onion now owns Alex Jones Info wars, and is hosted by Tim Heidecker who does a pretty good Alex jones voice, and Jim Haggerty who has this conspiracy laced spin off show named after himself. Worth checking out if you're a fan of the onion humor.

Not explicitly YouTube, but anything by Dropout.tv. They used to be CollegeHumor and have transcended the humor and format of the old YT days and have created their own streaming service with incredible original content. Here's a clip of famous Dungeon Master Brennan Lee Mulligan "defending" everyone's favorite space pedophile.

Much of their humor is general improv comedy but there's plenty of leftism thrown in. They're rad.

ETA: For context, the clip I linked, the game is that the 3 players offstage are attempting to play a bingo game using the players on stage, by giving them "prompts" (i.e., "Go on Instagram Live and defend Elon Musk") to make them say words and phrases that they say often. Brennan often complains about capitalism and billionaires, so Mike Trapp is trying to get Brennan to do just that. Hilarity ensues.

Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik

The old Cracked crew has broken off into a few different factions. Some More News and Small Beans are pretty lefty comedy.

Man Carrying Thing. ThePlantSlant123/Liam.

Both are great. Man Carrying Thing does long form about books and short form sketches about pop culture and politics.

I also quite like SellswordArts, while not inherently political, are at least woke and support LGBTQ+? To go along with that we have some other short-form content creators that worked on MinMaxed (their D&D podcast), which I haven’t personally listened to, but has solid reviews. Blumineck and Bensai are the other ones that I regularly watch. Not much of their long form content, however.

I mean, a lot of the long form YouTubers are anti fascist in their stances but that's not all they cover

Hbomberguy, folding ideas, etc

I"m not sure how much stuff out there counts as far left to you, but Doobus Goobus is very funny, and generally seems to come down on the right side of things.

You might be familiar with "States rights to do what???"

Ordinary things

Climate town

Both aren't 'left' so much as rational, science and reality based, and informative, therefore making them left by default. But also they are very funny, I would highly highly recommend

You might like Adam Conover. He mostly does interviews on his show called Factually, but he is a comedian by trade so it has that vibe.

I know this is probably for english speakers but if you speak french, a bunch of comedians of Radio Nova fall into that category.

+1 for Well There's Your Problem

From the Trash Future/Lions Led By Donkeys/Kill James Bond group of folks, extremely leftist and dark comedy takes on engineering disasters, with slides

Farming While Beige.

Yeah, that's right.

Haven't seen it in the thread yet, but john oliver is good for a laugh.

Wizards With Guns and Almost Friday TV are the two funniest sketch channels on YouTube imo

I wouldn't call "Far" as its just people using arguments based on facts

Adam Conover https://youtube.com/@theadamconover I admit I have not seen much of his stuff after Adam Ruins Everything but he has some interesting guests

Adam Something https://youtube.com/@adamsomething City Planning Enthusiast, interesting analysis of a lot of Bro planning

Barry's Economics https://youtube.com/@barryseconomics When Garry from Garry's Economics wanted more people to step up he responded

Benn Jordan https://youtube.com/@bennjordan A good answer to the question "what can I possibly do in these dire times?"

Coffeezilla https://youtube.com/@coffeezilla They love him until they call them out

Climate Town https://youtube.com/@climatetown Well researched environment stuff. He convinced me to give up on gas

Hbomberguy https://youtube.com/@hbomberguy His "vaccines and autism: a measured response explained in detail where the anti-vaxxers come from and what are their arguments

InfoWars https://youtube.com/@realinfowars Because comedy is finally legal

Louis Rossman https://youtube.com/@rossmanngroup One of the biggest voices on the right to repair movement

Martha Root https://youtube.com/@back2theroot Killed a Neo Nazi dating app

thats_a_bad_idea on YouTube is a great one!

I'm a fan of many of the channels mentioned here.

I'd like to add Thought Slime. It's a masterclass in sarcasm apart from anything else.

I also enjoy Private Eye Magazine for a more UK point of view. Their 'Year In Review' bits are really good.

I'll plug Internet Today every chance I get. They are criminally undersubscribed.

As an Aussie, I can also recommend friendlyjordies, although he can be a bit of a mixed bag.

Not sure I'd call these especially 'left wing' — I'm really kind of starting to detest labels like left/right wing, to be honest — but they are definitely on the side of truth and reason, and mocking idiots.

The go off kings are funny

The Skepticrat just started doing video recently, they're great (and actually funny).

The whole Nate Bethea universe of podcasts seems to be doing good.

You have Trashfuture, Lions Led By Donkeys, Well There's Your Problem, Kill James Bond, and even semi related podcasts like Failure To Launch.

Most of these are on YT, they a quite funny, and clearly on the left side politically.
