You have a duty to keep up with the YouTube-ing world and we’re here to help you with that.
Experts* claim** that there are several trillion videos uploaded to YouTube every second which makes watching everything quite a daunting task, hence why we have a whole team*** of journalists feverishly consuming all of that content and sifting through the rubbish to find these gems for you. Think of us like the Britain’s Got Talent judges except way hotter.

FourFiveSeconds – Dodie Clark & Jack Howard
Like, we all know Dodie Clark can sing pretty damn well, but THIS video is a revelation. Step aside, Beyoncé, Jack Howard knows how to hold a tune.
Shivers went down our spines as soon as Jack took on Kanye’s verse in this brilliant cover, while Dodie channelled her inner Rihanna and nobody represented Paul McCartney (because all he did was swan around in the video, right?)
Where will Jack take his voice now? We theorised in our Game of Thrones article that it would be Dean Dobbs whisked away into musical theatre. But actually it looks like Jack’ll be playing Eponine while Carrie goes on holiday…
FUNNY SCHOOL EXPERIENCES – Marina Joyce
“I kicked a guy in the nuts for taking my crayon” – when Marina Joyce asked her viewers for embarrassing school stories she probably wasn’t expecting to get that as a response.
We all did cringey stuff while in education, and for those still at school – hate to break it to you – the embarrassment continues throughout college, university and the working world. You just learn to accept frequent humiliation as a regular occurrence in your life.
Seriously though, JUST for taking a crayon?! Damn.
Before & After Photos (parody) – CupOfTeam
DERMATOLOGISTS HATE HIM – or is it just a better photo? Benedict from CupOfTeam Comedy is back with this insightful foray into the world of before and after comparisons.
Full instructions can be simplified into “try to take a decent photo”, rather than hunching over (emphasis on double chins – plural) in terrible lighting and badly fitting clothes.
P.S. we still think you looked beautiful in the before photo Benedict, and don’t ever let anyone else tell you otherwise.
ITS BATH TIME BOYS – WroeToShaw
There are announcement videos, and then there are W2S announcement videos.
To spice things up a bit Harry decided to sit in a bath of freezing water while he told the world about Legends of Gaming. It’s difficult to choose between watching the gameplay footage and Harry shivering, but it’s also very entertaining. His scream as he enters the water is, perhaps, the highlight of this entire week.
Don’t even think about the shrinkage. NOPE.
Why you’re doing dating wrong… – Leena Normington
Leena Normington has been dating for a year – to mark the occasion she’s banging on about why dating is a load of rubbish AND SHE HAS ALL OF THE GOOD POINTS.
Why is dating someone different to JUST becoming friends? Why don’t you ask where you and your best friend’s friendship is going? Relationships are complicated beasts – Leena doesn’t quite understand them and neither do we.
The biggest question, however, is DID she manage to get that sought after pie, post-jog? Stay tuned, we’re contacting her PR team and will get back to you shortly.
MORE VIDEOS TO ADD TO YOUR EVER EXPANDING ‘WATCH LATER’ PLAYLIST
Tiz White likes to walk and thankfully she likes to take a camera along with her. She walks in some woods, at one point a guy licks her face and finally she considers her own achievements in comparison to one of the members of The Vamps. It’s great.
WINTER IS NO LONGER COMING. Niomi Smart is ready for spring with her wardrobe essentials (basically – really, really nice clothes). Tops, dresses, accessories, she covers them all while somehow NOT looking awkward standing in a garden and on the street.
TenEighty is all about the upcoming general election this week: we looked at the recent trend of politicians working with YouTubers and how mainstream media has (or hasn’t) reacted to it. Find out more in our article ‘YouTubers Are The Voice Of Young Voters, So Why Aren’t You Listening?’
As perfect as we are, we MAY [ba-dum-tish] have missed a video or two this week, fancy letting us know which? Follow us @TenEightyUK on Twitter or TenEighty UK on Facebook.
