[IIL] Lesser known Youtube channels like Casually Explained

[u/Mobile_Rhubarb9720]

I'm looking for lesser-known youtube channels similar to casually explained in tone and delivery (somewhat informative, but mostly humorous). For reference, a lesser-known channel I recently found is "how people make money," which makes similar educational videos, but oriented around business topics.

I'll appreciate any recommendations you guys might have!

I don’t know if it’s still considered lesser known now, but Good Work_ is the funniest business channel and its parent channel Morning Brew is less funny but still entertaining and informative.
