HowToBasic Bio

The HowToBasic channel on YouTube was created in December 2011. After this, the channel creator started sharing his weird videos on it. The first video posted to the channel was ‘How To Pick Up a Umbrella’ which was followed by ‘How To Save Power’, ‘How To Close a Door’, ‘How To Dig a Hole with your Finger’, ‘How To Fold a T-shirt in 5 seconds’ and several others. One of the most popular yet bizarre video uploaded on the channel was ‘How To Put on a Condom’. This video was released on Aug 6, 2013 and has millions of views. A certain segment in each video shows the content maker as an aggressive man who creates a mess by smashing and throwing around objects, such as eggs, dolls, fishes, pieces of chicken meat, printed images, and electronic items, to name a few. Well, it is the craziness of HowToBasic that has helped him earn such tremendous fame! Many of his videos have sexual undertones and thus it is no surprise that the channel has successfully earned over 17 million subscribers till date. HowToBasic’s content is also hugely popular on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

The channel is known to contain weird visual gags that are disguised as how-to tutorials. It is also criticized on ethical grounds for wasting large amounts of food. Besides this, it has also been claimed that the YouTuber uses expired food from his grocery store. Due to this, the HowToBasic YouTube channel has been suspended on multiple occasions. However the latest suspension was eventually lifted and the channel has been restored. Since then the Australian YouTuber is once again making bizarre videos and sharing them with the general public.
