Tbh, this is the sort of scenario where its fun to be in, but not to watch....

Honestly, been thinking of setting up a channel of my own, with my classmates (so no shortage of actors/actresses )

Location is important, sure, but wouldn't you say its just a matter of coming up with content that suits your logistics?

I feel that a lot of Malaysian/Singaporean comedy youtubers take a very lazy route - a lot of their comedy focuses on MAlaysianizing everyday situations, often to the point of it being grossly exagerated (though this part is fine, comedy needs this).

The problem is that their jokes, their content, their concepts, are incapable of standing on their own as humour. No one except other Malaysians can watch it an laugh.

Try looking at some foreign channels. Their skits are enjoyed the world over because they stand by themselves as funny.

If you don't have a lot of actors, just take a look at Jake and Amir from college humour. Those bastards are terrific, and their two people shorts lasted 8 years, with a steady following throughout.

I doubt foreigners watch our MAlaysian videos because

1) Youtube definitely suggests channels and videos based on your geographical location, which means the oonly foreigners who will have heard or seen local channels will be the ones who are using local ISPs. If they are alreaady familiar enough with Malaysian culture, then for all intents and puroses they are Malaysian.

2) I didn't say foreigners don't watch it. They might, but I don't think they will find it entertaining, because of how Malaysian the videos are, for one thing, and the fact that once you isolate that factor the video is incredibly boring.

I agree that they are all becoming similar. Every single video is a list form, where they depend on a sexy girl and Malaysian specific dialogue to carry weak and overdone content, not to mention bad acting.

I can't make videos I'm not interested in just to appeal to people That's like selling out while you're still poor.


I would totally watch ANYONE making videos like that. You don't need to get a lot of people. Just two or three people (including you and your bro) and you can make terrific content.

Tried miranda, she's alright.

Assss for Youtubers, I don't any favourite ones. Is Nigahiga considered a ytuber? Most of the time I watch shorts and skits like Jake and Amir, MadTV, WhitestKidsYouKnow.

Speaking of MadTV
