YouTube is addictive. And it is the way of the future. Just look at our adoration of YouTube celebrities. The phenomenon is incredibly weird because really they are just ordinary people who show a natural aptitude to the camera and have the convenience of an internet connection.
But i think that is part of their appeal. With the exception of lonelygirl15, they are just so real. And most of them do have talent. You know the class clown or the troubled genius? With YouTube, they can let their true selves shine and if they are really charismatic, they will attract a large and devoted following. I admit, I don't spend every waking moment on YouTube so i really don't know all the YouTube celebs that you are supposed to know. I've watched a few videos of Chris Crocker (for obvious reasons) and am absolutely in love with William Sledd (check them out!) But although there are a great deal of interesting people broadcasting themselves, I have come to the conclusion that this guy is my YouTube celeb of the moment.
The Wine Kone.
This is what his wikipedia (yes, he has a wikipedia entry!) says about him:
Tony Huynh (thewinekone or TWK) is a Canadian YouTube comedian from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is known for posting his thoughts on different subjects to YouTube with his own style of comedy and farce.
As of September 2007, Huynh is the eleventh most subscribed user on YouTube with over 60,000 subscribers. In March 2007, he won YouTube's first ever YouTube Video Awards in the Best Commentary category[3]. His video submission to the 2007 CNN-YouTube Democratic presidential debate was the entry most viewed by YouTube users.
He is seriously, the funniest person I have ever watched. All his videos make me laugh. Some of them are very rude though but I find since I am good friends with Chris, the excessive use of the word "vagina" just doesn't bother me anymore!
Anyway, this isn't the funniest video of his, but it is still hilarious. I picked it because he talks about being a "YouTube celebrity" and having to give an autograph to a skater.
Enjoy!
