Spotlight: Ryan Higa

I wrote about one “youtube celebrity”, Kokujin Tensai, when I first started this blog. And now I bring you another, Ryan Higa A.K.A. Nigahiga.

higa

What does he do? And why does he have almost 80,000 subscribers? And why do each of his videos have thousands of comments?
Well, I think it’s because he’s rather funny.

Japanese-American Ryan Higa lives in Hawai’i and sometime last year he began posting comedy videos. It started out as him and his right hand man Sean Fujiyoshi lipsynching to The Spice Girls and Rihanna, it escalated to Rants and music videos to Celine Dion and it capped off at spoofs and “How To” vids. Basically they specialize in silly, silly humor.

Vids and more after the jump.

I found some of his videos funny and I’ll admit you have to forget that you are a intelligent human being to watch most of them. Some of his videos are offensive without meaning to be, and some of them will leave a giant ellipsis (…) over your head. And others, like I said, will have you dying with laughter. I would say watch a Higa video. But they are completely and undeniably foolish. Don’t say I didn’t warm you.

One of his most Popular Videos: Asian Boy - Yank Dat Cameltoe

And his video with the most watches and the most comments:
How to Be Gangster

Go HERE for Ryan Higa’s page so that you can watch all his videos (if you so choose). And click there for his Myspace page.

Watch:
The How To’s
Rant on Violence
Fergalicious
The beginning of “Mind Geek”

Avoid:
The End of “Mind Geek”
The Ryan Higa Show
Rant on Smelly People

I dunno you might love them all, you might hate them all and curse me for writing this post.

    It’s interesting how so many “Youtube celebrities” are popping up. Just the other day my friend showed me a video of one of them.

    I thought it was funny, albeit in a very lets-turn-off-my-brain kinda way. :)

    Er ist soooo süß und lustig
    ich finde seine Videos voll cool und mutig

  21. Kelsie Says:

    I think Ryan Higa is awesome! Anyone that thinks he is being offensive in any of his videos should just laugh at it instead of getting mad. He is only trying to be funny (which he is) and then people get mad at him. If you find him offensive then dont watch him and dont comment here or on youtube. Anyway Ryan rocks and so does everyone who likes him.

  22. Arrianna Says:

    YAY!!!!!
