It's peculiar to be complaining about providers who cater to the lowest common denominator and then recommend a provider that gets drunk and cooks...

I watched a couple of episodes a long time ago, she appeared as a guest on TableTop and seemed fun to watch. It's not really my thing but isn't that objectionable. I'm just a little bewildered to see it be touted as a shining light of intelligent, smart YouTube. Eye of the beholder I guess.

Re: Crash Course, John and Hank Green also do Mental Floss videos, which I usually find entertaining.

Link in the doobly-do.

Your Monty Pythons and your South Parks travel the same ground.

I find early My Drunk Kitchen videos inspiring in ways that professional cooking shows aren't. Look! You can skip half the ingredients and make it up as you go and it can still be delicious!

I don't even drink and that's the way I cook.

I don't follow a whole lot of Youtube channels, but one that I've been subscribed to for a while is Marble Hornets, aka the web-series that featured Slender Man before Slender Man was a thing. To date, it's the only treatment of the character I've seen that's genuinely scary.
