My long-time favorite has been OneFJef. He's hilarious, not a complete butt-fucking idiot (or at least doesn't really try to be), and his videos are gold.

Second-favorite would proooooobably be Game Grumps, mostly episodes with Danny in it.

My least-favorite... I'd say Pewdiepie, but I don't watch his videos. I saw like two and said "nope not for me". So...Probably PeanutButterGamer. Something about him just gets on my nerves, even though by all rationality I should like his videos.

Favourite? raocow or maybe Smoth McGroove who are both genuinely nice people who make really entertaining videos, have pleasant voices to listen to, and genuinely appreciate their fanbases. cowrao probably has an edge here because DAILY VIDEOS.

Least favourite? Basically anything that regularly appears in the Recommended Channels column except maybe TB.

My favorites lets see... Robbaz, One F Jef, Psisyndicate, Plumphelmtpunk and numerous other Youtubers.

My least favorite is... Pewdiepie, too much screaming for my taste.

I enjoy the Game Grumps, Aavak, OneFJef, TheWarOwl, various Shacktac folks, star_, and Muselk.

I honestly don't know what my least favourite would be, though I have built something of a dislike for both Nerd^3 and TotalBiscuit based on their behaviour on Twitter.

Extra Credits has to be my overall 100% favorite. They have a wide variety of gaming-related videos that are almost like miniature lectures on various aspects of gaming today, attempting to understand things like retro gaming, piracy, free-to-play games and educational games. Very interesting stuff. Now they do a bunch of other shows but the one I really like is Extra History, where they just talk about history; it's not even gaming-related but they do a good job of presenting information.

My favorite let's-play is probably Game Grumps and all the sub-shows on their channel, but Jontron is the best (besides Extra Credits which is kinda in it's own category). Some of JonTron's videos still make me laugh until I cry. PeanutButterGamer has a similar format to Jontron but isn't quite as funny IMO.

Yahtzee's personal youtube does neat let's-plays. Recently they did a few videos looking at some games that Yahtzee himself made when he was younger and that was hilarious. Gabe can get really annoying sometimes but overall he's okay.

Retsupurae is pretty good, not for the actual retsupurae portion (where they riff on other LPs) but for their riffs on ancient point-n-clicks, FMV games and miscellaneous Newgrounds garbage.

I kinda like Markiplier. He just gets so excited for every game that he plays, but sometimes I feel like he tries too hard.

My least favorite is probably Pewdiepie & similar. It's the Youtube equivalent of junk food.

Favourite is Two Best Friends Play. They're really funny guys and they're real connected to the community.
^^This, they're my all time favorite.

Coming in close are Kikoskia and Helloween, Kikoskia has a repetitive and predictable style but his voice is great and it's terribly silly how serious he tries to be when bad things happen to him in-game, he can be a lot more spontaneous and interesting when he's playing with other people, he also hosts PnP sessions with other YTers who are all fun and interesting to listen to. Hell is second place only because TBFP play games I'm more interested in, talk a lot about current events AND still remain just as funny.

Yahtzee Croshaw is probably one of my favorite commentators of all time but his videos are far too infrequent and he never plays anything interesting courtesy of the theme of his LPs. :P I prefer watching Zero Puncuation over Let's Drown Out because his scripted wit is just so marvelous to behold.

I don't really like Scott Manley, he's probably my least favorite to listen to when it comes to commentary but I sub him anyway because he's still a nice guy and he also plays space games. My least favorite ever is likely videogamedunkey, after about a year of watching his videos I gave up on trying to comprehend his humor. :S

It's worth mentioning that PDP has his redeeming qualities.
Well I severely dislike South Park, while PDP is just kind of grating. So... that would be a net good thing?

My likes tend to heavily mirror Janet's since I tend to watch those things with her. However there are some things I personally enjoy too.

 I like to watch Direwolf20's stuff since I love engineering things and he just builds stuff constantly. Helps inspire me to play minecraft myself and go nuts too.

 I like Danny2462 because seriously. Dude is comedy gold. Sadly he hasn't been making as many videos lately.

 I also like Dslyecxi, pretty awesome stuff he gets into and seeing it through the eyes of somebody competent in such an environment helps a bunch when it comes to appreciating that environment.

 Then there is BohemianEagle (The Mighty Jingles), I love watching the world of tanks and war thunder videos he's got. And I very much enjoy his calm sort of commentary, tends to be relaxing while still offering plenty of opportunity to laugh with the guy.

 Finally, I watch Hitsquad617's short SFM videos, because they are just really good and he pumps them out on a regular basis.


 As for people I dislike? That's... Kinda hard for me to pin down since I mostly move on and forget, and usually stick to the channels I like unless I'm looking for something deliberate, like gameplay for something I have not played and think might interest me.
