This is the perfect channel for when you’re supposed be doing something intellectually stimulating, but just don’t want to.

Like the name suggests, these are basic how-to videos with a comedic twist. If you’re looking for a quick burst of procrastination, this is where you want to go. These short videos offer just enough entertainment, but before long you’ll be wondering why you’re wasting your time on this crap. Maybe you’ll actually get back to work (nah).

Estimated amount of time wasted: 18 minutes

There’s a reason this girl has one of the most popular channels on YouTube. This weird, foul-mouthed girl makes a variety of vlogs and sketches that are addicting to watch. Plus, she’s super fun to look at.

Vice News

If you want to waste your time in a meaningful way, check out this channel. They make fairly short videos on all the big scary news stuff that’s happening around the world.

Ladies and gents, I’d like to introduce Dom Mazzetti. The only thing more bizarre than his name is his videos. It’s mostly about lifting and #gym life, so if you’re a bro looking to kill some time, look no further.

Food Wishes

Chef John has a way of smooth-talking us into wanting to cook delicious meals. There’s something for everyone on here, from prime rib to grilled cheese. Bonus points if you actually cook something after watching his videos.

Bored Shorts TV

Kids say the darndest things. In these videos, kids imagine stories that are then acted out by adults. It’s hilariously cute, G-rated fun.
