    The history of charlieissocoollike

    Rather than study for her exams, Charlotte McDonnell (formerly Charlie) started the YouTube channel charlieissocoollike in 2007. Posting a combination of vlogs, comedy videos and challenges, Charlotte’s channel broke out when her video How To Get Featured On YouTube was featured on the YouTube UK homepage. What began as procrastination lead to Charlotte becoming arguably the UK’s first YouTube star, being the first to hit one million subscribers in June 2011. The novelty of ‘internet fame’ led to her appearing in various mainstream media, collaborating with Doctor Who, and somehow convincing Stephen Fry to record her video outro. By 2013, Charlotte admitted she was burned out from content creation. She would focus less on YouTube as time went on, preferring to focus on screenwriting and later Twitch. By 2019, she announced that she had quit YouTube altogether. She made a notable return to the platform in 2023, posting a video explaining that she was trans and setting her historical content to private. We discuss Charlotte’s video style, her appeal and rise to stardom, as well as how she would influence a generation of creators.

    The history of Dan and Phil (GAMES) | Dan and Phil Part 3

    Dan and Phil. Phil and Dan. Dil. Phan? We reach the conclusion (for now) of our Dan and Phil series, focusing on the pair’s collaborative channel formerly known as Dan and Phil Games. What started as as a Let’s Play channel would develop with the boys, hosting collaborations, side projects, and tour videos. Not even Dan’s multiple year hiatus could kill the channel, with Dan and Phil resurrecting it in 2023. This year Dan and Phil confirmed publicly they were in a relationship, using the ensuing fan and media attention to launch their podcast ‘Hard Launch’ on the rebranded ‘Dan and Phil’ channel. Since then, they’ve accompanied their podcast episodes with date vlogs, react content, and Spooky Week. We chat through all things Dan and Phil Games, our own history with gaming content, the reaction to Phan, and everything Dan and Phil we couldn’t fit in the first two episodes.

    The history of danisnotonfire | Dan and Phil Part 2

    Our second episode on Dan and Phil focuses on Daniel Howell’s personal YouTube channel, formerly known as danisnotonfire. Before launching his channel, Dan was a fan of Phil’s channel AmazingPhil, and the two became online friends. With encouragement from Phil, Dan uploaded his first video, ‘Hello Internet,’ in 2009. Dan’s storytime/sketch videos were reminiscent of creators like CommunityChannel, combined with his edgy, self-deprecating humour. It was a winning formula, and danisnotonfire would overtake AmazingPhil in subscribers by 2013. Despite his success, Dan grew increasingly disillusioned with YouTube. His solo uploads became less frequent, although he still collaborated with Phil and appeared in their shared content and tours. In 2019, after a period of inactivity, Dan posted the video essay ‘Basically I’m Gay’. Three years later, he followed it up with ‘Why I Quit YouTube’. Both videos offered significant insight into his personal and professional struggles, as well as explaining his absence from YouTube. Since then, Dan has returned to YouTube on his own terms, both on his personal channel (now just ‘Daniel Howell’) and through his collaborations with Phil. He also undertook the solo world tour ‘We’re All Doomed’, which was filmed and posted on full on YouTube. We run through how Dan’s content evolved over the years, his comedic sensibility and perspective, and how his issues with YouTube are shared by other creators. CHAPTERS 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:58 Our familiarity with Dan 00:04:26 Dan's early videos and comedic sensibility 00:10:38 Dan's mildly antagonistic relationship with viewers 00:18:39 Mainstream breakthrough 00:20:42 How to speak internet with Jack and Finn 00:22:51 Internet Support Group 00:24:38 Collab with Tyler Oakley - Dan and Tyler being offensive 00:26:27 Further collabs with Louise and Connor Franta 00:28:52 Correction - Dan and Phil have met Troye Sivan 00:30:35 Promoting the Amazing tour and book 00:33:50 Top Dan Memes of the Year series 00:36:37 Channel name change, less active on YouTube 00:39:59 Daniel and Depression 00:44:16 Basically, I'm Gay 00:50:48 Why I Quit YouTube 00:56:57 Cancelled YouTube Original show 01:01:07 Dan's return to YouTube 01:02:01 We Are All Doomed live comedy show 01:06:19 Overall thoughts on Dan's channel 01:09:55 Max's subscription: Below Deck Med 01:10:46 Lucy's subscription: my chungus life SOCIALS AND CONTACT INFORMATION Email us at rewindtimepod@gmail.com Watch the video feed at www.youtube.com/@RewindTimePod We post shorts on www.instagram.com/rewindtimepod/ and www.tiktok.com/@rewindtimepod Get more Lucy at www.youtube.com/@LucyLivinYT, www.tiktok.com/@lucy_livin and www.instagram.com/lucy.livin/, Max is at www.instagram.com/max.eagles

    The history of AmazingPhil | Dan and Phil Part 1

    We begin our 3 episode Dan and Phil series with AmazingPhil, the main channel of Phil Lester. When Phil published his first YouTube video in 2006, shot using a camera from a cereal box, he couldn’t have know it would lead to online stardom, the creation of beloved comedy duo Dan and Phil, and meeting Kylie Minogue. Nearly 20 years on from his YouTube debut, Phil is the undeniably more active half of the Dan and Phil partnership. His channel is a mix of cozy storytime videos, Q&As, sketches and other low-stakes hijacks. Daniel Howell features often, both in front and behind the camera. Since appearing for the first time in the iconic Phil is not on fire (a format that would run for a decade), Dan’s darker humour provides a welcome contrast to Phil’s comparatively joyful disposition. We discuss the early days of Phil’s channel, the additional context modern viewers bring to his back catalogue, the changes in content over the years, and how Phil would eventually come out to his viewers.

    Reviewing YouTube Rewind 2011

    YouTube Rewind 2011 was the second installment of YouTube’s end-of-year retrospective series. It repeated the format from the previous year, counting down the top 10 most viewed videos on the platform in 2011. However, it introduced an element that would become central to Rewind, a YouTuber cameo, with Friday songstress Rebecca Black playing the role as host. We discuss how the popular videos shifted from creator channels in 2010, to more generic talking animal slop in 2011. While OG YouTubers like The Lonely Island are featured on the list, and creators like Jenna Marbles and Smosh are shown in the video montage, there’s definitely a less ‘YouTube’ feel to the 2011 top 10. It’s easy to theorise that YouTube themselves agreed, given they moved away from the countdown format the following year. How do you feel about 2011 Rewind? Do you prefer the countdown format, or the YouTuber cameo music video style of later Rewinds? CHAPTERS 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:10 YouTube Rewind 2011 format 00:03:06 Rebecca Black is hosting 00:04:33 Opening montage recapping 2011 00:12:01 10. Mom hugs baby kitten 00:14:19 9.

    The history of Rebecca Black

    Everyone know’s Rebecca Black’s Friday, but comparitively few are aware of her second YouTube life as a 2010 lifestyle creator. Friday became one of the defining YouTube memes when it released in 2011, drawing millions of viewers and launching Black to global prominence. Unfortunately, much of the attention was negative, with the then 13-year-old Black receiving targeted harassment online and at school. Despite the negativity, Black used the virality of Friday to launch her own YouTube channel. The content was typical of the lifestyle creators of the era - makeup tutorials, Q&As, hauls and collabs. Black was a natural YouTuber and grew a significant audience, and but for the occasional new song, her music career was on hold. However, single by single, Black began to find her artistic voice, culminating in her 2023 debut album ‘Let Her Burn’ releasing to favourable reviews. With no recent uploads and a busy touring schedule, it’s safe to assume Black has returned to her original calling. CHAPTERS 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:58 Our familiarity with Rebecca Black 00:09:30 ARK Music Factory, My Jeans and Chinese Food 00:18:38 The reaction to Friday 00:23:25 Last Friday Night with Katy Perry 00:25:20 Telstra bring Rebecca to Sydney 00:28:35 My Moment and post-Friday singles 00:32:35 Rebecca's YouTube channel 00:40:00 Rebecca's collaborations with Miranda Sings 00:48:50 Saturday with Dave Days 00:51:18 Rebecca as a lifestyle YouTuber 01:05:42 Rebecca on Dating Straight 01:06:21 Hyperpop era and album release 01:14:42 Final thoughts on Rebecca Black 01:19:40 Max's subscription: Hades II 01:20:35 Lucy's subscription: Dancing with the Stars (USA) SOCIAL AND CONTACT INFORMATION Email us at rewindtimepod@gmail.com Watch the video feed at www.youtube.com/@RewindTimePod We post shorts on www.instagram.com/rewindtimepod/ and www.tiktok.com/@rewindtimepod Get more Lucy at www.youtube.com/@LucyLivinYT, www.tiktok.com/@lucy_livin and www.instagram.com/lucy.livin/, Max is at www.instagram.com/max.eagles

    The history of Epic Meal Time

    The Jackass of food. That’s how everyone described Epic Meal Time, including the boys themselves. Led by ringleader Sauce Boss Harley Morenstein, these Canadian 20-somethings rose quickly to YouTube stardom in 2010 on the back of their monstrous, highly caloric food creations like the TurBacon Epic, the TurBaconEpicCentipede, and the original Fast Food Pizza. The channel format would be spun out for the competition series Epic Chef, as well as the television show Epic Meal Empire. After several years of success, including many YouTuber and celebrity guest appearances, the original crew drifted away from the channel. For some, this was due to a dispute with Morenstein over the channel’s ownership, whereas others admit the concept just ran its course. Morenstein remained active on the channel, reposting episodes of his podcast while occasionally producing new, less exaggerated food content. However, the last upload on the channel was over a year ago, forcing us to consider whether we’ve seen the last Epic Meal Time. On this episode of Rewind Time, we run through our familiarity with the channel, how it changed over the years, the ownership dispute, Harley and the crew in the present day, and what (if any) future there is for Epic Meal Time. CHAPTERS 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:57 Our history with Epic Meal Time 00:03:45 What was Epic Meal Time? 00:04:41 Epic Meal Time clip 00:10:58 The Epic Meal Time cast 00:12:20 The format and vibes 00:17:44 Collaborations with YouTubers, celebrities 00:25:38 Jamie Oliver guest appearance 00:27:34 The series' place in 2010 millennialisms 00:32:43 Harley's 'character' 00:35:51 The end of OG Epic Meal Time 00:43:32 Epic Meal Time post original crew departure 00:49:24 Harley-centric content 01:00:05 What happened to the original crew? 01:04:22 Concluding thoughts on Epic Meal Time 01:10:33 Max's subscription: One Battle After Another 01:11:57 Lucy's subscription: Umamusume: Pretty Derby We reference When Mealtime Was Epic by Jaya Saxena for Eater throughout this episode.

    The history of Jenna Marbles

    Throughout the 2010s, Jenna Marbles was one of the YouTube community’s most beloved and popular creators. Since releasing the canonical ‘How to Trick People Into Thinking You Are Good Looking’ in 2010, Jenna would use this format and other 2010 YouTube comedy staples like ‘Girls v Guys’ to grow her audience. She moved to LA, began dating fellow creator Julien Solomita, and would collaborate with many of the YouTube stars of that era. Jenna’s videos changed throughout the years as she moved away from her exaggerated early persona into a chill, big sister vibe. Videos often took on a DIY angle where Jenna would pursue a goal like how many balloons it would take to make her dog fly, or how to camoflague herself into a chair. Regardless of how outlandish the premise, her loyal audience stuck around. Jenna was among the YouTubers ‘cancelled’ in the whole 2020 lockdown/morality purge craze people go in to that year. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Jenna’s apology and subsequent YouTube retirement seem permanent. While Julien continues to work and create online, Jenna has remained offline ever since. CHAPTERS 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:27 Our history with Jenna Marbles 00:05:52 Jenna and her dogs 00:08:59 How to Trick People Into Thinking You Are Good Looking 00:20:05 How To Avoid Talking To People You Don't Wanna Talk To 00:22:35 Jenna Marbles working for Barstool Sports 00:28:32 What I Would've Done In Cancun 00:33:19 Jenna's remaining early video formats 00:35:06 Jenna moves to LA, dates Julian 00:36:13 Jenna's YouTube collabs 00:38:08 Jenna is in Pitbull's Fireball music video 00:39:47 Remaining collaborations 00:45:34 Jenna's chill LA video style 00:56:05 James Charles does Jenna's makeup 01:00:17 This fish tank controversy and apology 01:04:45 Jenna's 'cancellation' and YouTube retirement 01:17:45 Jenna in recent years 01:19:34 Concluding discussion on Jenna 01:26:31 Max's subscription: White Chicks (2004) 01:29:39 Lucy's subscription: Depop SOCIALS AND CONTACT INFORMATION Email us at rewindtimepod@gmail.com Watch the video feed at www.youtube.com/@RewindTimePod We post shorts on www.instagram.com/rewindtimepod/ and www.tiktok.com/@rewindtimepod Get more Lucy at www.youtube.com/@LucyLivinYT, www.tiktok.com/@lucy_livin and www.instagram.com/lucy.livin/, Max is at www.instagram.com/max.eagles
