Anything I feel like recommending to people, I'll put here.
Okay, so, Scootertrix is this My Little Pony abriged series on Youtube, and it's so fucking good. Every episode is ten minutes long and it's really fucking funny. I recommend it so hard, Imma make a whole ass review of it later.
Or I'll just do it now. The first two episodes are pretty rough. Necessary for plot, yes, but I always have to swear up and down that it gets better, regardless of the opinion of the person watching is. Early on, there's a couple weak episodes, imo. It hits a golden run with episodes 6 through 12 though, all bangers, funny as shit. My favorite character would have to be Twilight, Pinkie, or Luna. The show really thrives on straightmanning and banter, seeing the characters talk back and forth, reacting to whatever crazy thing the other said leaves me with a goofy grin every time.
Second thing I love about it is its meta behavior. The show breaks the fourth wall a lot, and kinda makes it an integral part of the story, which is always something I enjoy. This was one of the first self-aware pieces of media I've ever seen, which calls itself a show. I used to read Story Thieves by James Riley which did a very similar thing, but in book format. Sometimes when writing fourth-wall breaking metanarratives, the author can get stuck in a cycle of continiously referring to the viewer, which is kinda cringe. It ruins immersion for the viewer, yadda yadda yadda. But Scootertrix doesn't really call attention to the viewer, hell they almost never do it at all.
It's like you're a god that's being catered to, both bound to and enforcing the rules of the medium. "It's just how the world works." And I think that's what I really enjoyed about it, the fourth wall breaking served a purpose in the very narrative that it was referencing. That, and the characters were really fun to watch. Which is what it all boils down to, I suppose.
Best Friends Today exists in an online space I can only best describe as "indie humor". It's got ADHD editing, it feels like it has akwardness baked into its script, and it's an absolutley joy to watch. Like, rolling around, busted gut, take me to the hospital im dying, kind of funny. The three hosts, Sammie, Will, and Caroline, have such a weirdly synchronized chemistry, I love it. Sammie makes monologues as some given character having a crashout, it's really fun figuring out who he's supposed to be. Will, if I remember correctly, just kinda has fun on his account? There's alien skit videos, and I believe he rented out his wall space to whoever was buying. And I have no idea what Caroline is up to, feels like she vanished from the face of the internet after the fake pregnancy video. I also recommend you check them out too.
I do think the show went downhill after Caroline left, it was still funny, but it lost whatever 'lightning in a bottle' it had before. The show is defunct now, but I still recommend it to people if I think they'll find it funny. Someone is going to make an iceberg video about BFT in five years or something and it's going to be treated like this lost webseries of a bygone time, like video essays about niche internet microcelebrities from the early 2010s. A big "WHERE ARE THEY NOW" is going to be on the thumbnail of said video essay, they'll barely do any research, and it'll get two million views. Anyways, watch BFT, it's goated. And their podcast Hypothetical Nonsense, it was just the show without the editing, funny ass bits.
This has got to be my favorite album of 2025 by far. It's a vocaloid tech album(?) it's hard to place exactly what kind of genre this is, but know that I love it. It's exactly the kind of thing you gotta get up and dance to. Such a good album and I love Hatsune Miku, best song is Fondness.
