Camping With Steve.

I think he started out documenting his homelessness and where he camped, but after becoming homeful, he kept going out and stealth coming in really weird places. Abandoned buildings, caves, mines, roundabouts, highway median strips, under bridges. Sometimes he camps in regular camp grounds, just in whacky shelters like cardboard boxes or blanket forts. Sometimes he secretly sleeps in his car.

He is no longer with us, but lookup videos of Terry Davis. There's lots of documentaries about him but it should be easy to find his stream clips, if you just want to watch him.

Paranoid schizophrenic who spent 10 years creating his own operating system from scratch because God told him to.

Eating Cat hair off the sofa:

You Suck at Cooking

Bald and Bankrupt. British guy with maxed out social skills goes to random places around the world (like Bangladesh) and talks to locals.

If you're into it, there are many 'science' channels you could watch.

'Michael Reeves' and 'I did a thing' both build stupid things. Stuff like a cursing Elmo puppet or a giant sawblade Bayblade.

If you want some actual science, Nile Red. You get stuff like 'Making grape soda out of plastic gloves'.

My favorite weirdo Youtubers are Cheru and Let's Game It Out. They both make gaming content, but do it in totally different styles.

There’s a tv show titled “my strange addiction “; probably what you’re looking for, as it has people eating cat fur, someone married to a carnival ride, a shower drain hair collector, eating dryer sheets, chewing dirty diapers, eating a loved ones ashes, eating toilet paper, drinking paint… here’s an example:

I was a postmortem scientist for a decade, and have a show called After Death, which focuses on SFX makeup and embalming, based on gruesome ways people have died! It's on a page called Bad Day HQ which focuses on the worst days in history... crime, death, natural disasters, conspiracies, cryptuds, etc. Honestly best side gig ever. I love being teach people about really morbid stuff.

My work. This was shot at the Anatomy of Death Museum in Michigan... And the channel itself. They won Emmy awards back in the 90s/2000s

It has:

• Mine disasters, where companies shut off oxygen, sacrificing people, so they wouldn't lose profits

• Deadliest human stampedes, where people were so concerned with getting to events that they trampled, crushed, and suffocated hundreds of people

• Famines that wiped out large percentages of entire countries, that mirror what's happening right now

• History behind the Bermuda Triangle and the stories of planes and ships that have vanished there

• Stories of some of the darkest crimes in history... from serial killers to gruesome, morbid deaths

• Disasters and crimes that happened On This Day!

I'm really proud and have a plethora of knowledge, so please ask away. Actually ran the Wayne State Funeral History Museum for 3 years 🥰

Not sure this is quite what you're looking for by CYRIAK makes some pretty weird animations that I would call unhinged.

Also, Don Herzfeldt's animations are pretty weird. Oh, and Day Job Orchestra

Davie504

May not be entirely what you're looking for, but my immediate thought is Max0r. His editing style is so insane that I regularly wonder when the mental institute is going to be coming back for him

Jon Drinks Water is a YouTube channel centered 100% around short videos of a guy drinking water.

Stay hydrated, people ;)

Moreso about his crippling fear of aliens, but Joel Vinesauce has some utterly bizarre and nuts segments. His Voices of the Void stuff is hilarious and his paralyzing fear makes him super entertaining. He also does weird youtube video nights where he watches creepy youtube videos.

I would suggest ididathing that guy is pure chaos and has zero concerns for his safety, there is a running gag, things get brutal sometimes and overall fun and informative.

Aside from ones I've already mentioned:

• The Thought Emporium (purposefully infected himself with a self-made genetically engineered virus, to fix his lactose intolerance, as well as (CW: Gore) made a tutorial on how to give yourself magnet implants, now trying to teach living rat neurons to play DOOM)

I am really frustrated that I don't remember the names of these:

• someone who made a tutorial on how to make an illegally encrypted radio transmitter
• some guy making seemingly illegal chemicals (NOT nilered)

Rusty Cage He built a guillotine in his back yard while rambling about about crazy ideologies and living in a tent. He called it a lemon slicer

Shoenice eating 87 Spongebob stickers while homeless in an alley?

The vegan scene on YouTube is full of crazy. Not to put shade on vegans but it seems every vegan youtuber is severely mentally ill.

It's fictional, but if you want weirdness, check out Alan Tutorial. If you watch them in order, it doesn't start out unhinged, but it gets there...

Perhaps a bit tame by those standards but explosions & fire or his second channel, extractions & ire. They're good for watching an Australian man's mental health decline while he tinkers with dangerous chemicals in a dilapidated shed full of equipment that looks like it needs to be put out of its misery. On the topic of strange Australians, garbage time is on the lighthearted side of unhinged. Watch as he and his friend ~~torture~~ restore clapped out shitboxes

PilotRedSun! Completely unhinged. Absolutely love it. Their album is actually really good too. Pure LSD trip of a channel.

Cat fur from the sofa? Yeah, I'm gonna need a link.
