IronPineapple was one Dark Souls Youtuber among many, his sense of humor good but not enough to keep my attention. However, in the past year he's started a series called "Souls-likes you've never heard of," which is fantastic. Most of these are student projects or glorified tech demos, but IP has a deft hand at highlighting them humorously. More recently, game development seems to have given up entirely on hiding its debt to Dark Souls, so now there are multiple high-budget games interspersed with the rest. Here are two examples of this video series.

Found another one which gives me lots of good chuckles:

Josh places an emphasis on trying to break games in really stupid and frequently amusing ways:

Oh thanks for resurrecting this thread, I wanted to post something in it recently but forgot what it was called. :p
Digital Foundry usually just do breakdowns of how the latest games are performing but last month they got a bit more ambitious and put together this mini-doc on a couple developers making games for the Genesis.

Also, I've never been into speedrunning, but I really liked this super-nerdy video detailing the world record history of one Trackmania Nations track. :)

I feel like I've replied to this before, but can't see any posts from me. Maybe it was another, similar thread.
Oh well.
I find it really hard to describe these channels, I'll admit.
Game-related channels that I follow:
(
https://www.youtube.com/user/McBacon1337) Game Maker's Toolkit
Mentioned before, but always worth mentioning again, especially since he did a series on stealth game mechanics since thread was started.

My favourite game reviewer. Tends to focus on more niche or unusual games.

Game design / analysis channel.

(
https://www.youtube.com/user/MrWendaru) Mr Wendal on games
Another small game design / analysis channel.

More game design / analysis, his humour is a bit over-the-top for my tastes, but some interesting things in there.

Does really long, in-depth videos about games. Did I mention long? I'll admit I don't watch him all that much because 1-2 hour videos of someone talking about a game can be a bit much.

The "Unethical Zoo" on Let's Game it Out has been the most I've laughed at a Youtube video in months, thanks Malf. :D

Tim Rogers just publish a nearly 3 hour review of Pac-Man.
[video=youtube;GPzVlTgZoCg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPzVlTgZoCg[/video]
Everything that could ever be said about Pac-Man, is said in this video. Probably. I've only watched like 25% of it yet. But what I have seen has contained anecdotes from Tim's childhood, a top ten list of best Namco game titles, and a complete list of everyone who has ever said "video games have come a long way since Pac-Man".
Also here are some videos that TTLGers would probably be interested in:
Civvie11 doing a playthrough of Thief.

I'm enjoying the RPS Mystery Steam Review quiz show a lot. It's fun to guess along. I only got the last 2 this week.

Maybe 2021 will finally be the year I start up my stealth gaming channel.

Those
are hard to find.
I discovered HBomberguy's channel, which consists of media analysis and leftist rambles with a surrealist bent. The most vivid example I remember comes from the video below, in which
the author emerges glistening from a canvas print of loss.jpg:

If you think this is surreal, imagine it popping up in your video recommendations one day as a video about Sonic 2 and all the comments being full of people who were incredibly confused, angry, exhilarated, and, dare I say it, at a loss. Cause that's what it was billed as when it first came out. I think it was even titled as Serious Lore Analysis: Is Sonic 2 About Capitalism? or something like that.
