Wondering who to make you laugh until your mother questions what you’re doing in your room at night? With YouTube favourites like Munah and Hirzi potentially bidding adieu to their beloved characters and channel (nooo!), we suss out who else will leave you in stitches this year.
Formerly one-half of internet sensation couple #Jaffron with fellow vlogger Jake Mitchell, England’s Saffron Barker has been making waves on YouTube for a while now with her videos covering a myriad of themes ranging from pranks to extreme challenges.
Fun fact: she also sings in a girlband Born2Blush! Armed with looks, talent, and a sharp sense of humour, it’s no wonder Saffron is a name on the horizon to look out for.
2. Preetipls
Another comedienne creeping her way up in the YouTube landscape is Singapore’s very own Preetipls, aka Preeti Nair. Heavily loaded with satire and parodies of the latest happenings in the local scene, her videos have fired shots on topics ranging from the infamous Orchard Road fashion police video to the latest festive holidays.
If you’re wondering why she might already be a familiar face, you probably first noticed her on youtiao666’s channel, Youtiaotv (Thanks girls!). Additionally, the dynamic duo has also made cameo appearances in Preetipls’ videos, as have the likes of Benjamin Kheng and former-fashion police target Saffron Sharpe. In the words of Preeti herself, “10/10”.
Imagine waking up as a viral sensation . That’s exactly what 17-year-old Brendan Jordan experienced after vogue-ing his way to internet stardom in the background of a news segment in 2014. (Refresh your memory here!)
Fast forward to today and the unapologetic teen is a bonafide YouTube star, blending his sassy humour with trending topics like makeup challenges and reaction videos (“OMG GAGA!”). We say keep being yourself and werk it Brendan, and the world will keep watching.
4. YAAAS TV
Named after one of his favourite real-life exclamations (and many of ours too, let’s be honest), YAAAS TV is the YouTube channel brainchild of local musician and radio deejay Joshua Simon. Local personalities like Xiaxue, Nat Ho and The Noose‘s Lulu drop by to share laughs, gossip and cooking recipes alongside the big and bold personality that is Joshua Simon.
We also get the pleasure of witnessing international celebrities such as Ryan Reynolds and Charlie Puth take on interviews, where unfiltered subjects were broached with much bravery. Hey, if we can learn more about our favourite celebs and new culinary skills along the way, sign us up!
5. MOM BOSS OF 3 aka Tina Singh
Step aside Lilly Singh. It’s been a year since IISuperwomanII’s sister Tina made headlines creating her own channel, and she continues to be just as outrageously witty and entertaining as you’d imagine any sibling of Lilly’s would be.
Accompanied by her family – husband Herpreet and their sons Kabir, Ajit and Jora – they let us into their daily, unrehearsed hijinks. Laughs aside, her mommy tips and lessons on family hit close to heart too – which is why we simply adore her.
Now where can we sign up to be part of this family too?
