SomeThingElseYT
Relatable and genuinely funny, but the frequent swearing and raw emotional content make this one for older teens only.
Best for ages 14+
SomeThingElseYT is a story-time animation channel run by a creator named Adam who talks about his real life experiences in a self-deprecating, hyper, and often pretty funny way. He animates everything himself, which is actually impressive, and his humor tends to land well with teens who feel like outsiders. The channel has a clear personality and it's not mean-spirited.

KidWatch Assessment
SomeThingElseYT is a story-time animation channel run by a creator named Adam who talks about his real life experiences in a self-deprecating, hyper, and often pretty funny way. He animates everything himself, which is actually impressive, and his humor tends to land well with teens who feel like outsiders. The channel has a clear personality and it's not mean-spirited.
The big issue for parents is the language. Swearing is frequent and sometimes heavy, including words that go well beyond mild. His music videos in particular drop uncensored profanity throughout, and they also get into darker emotional territory like loneliness, feeling mentally unwell, and fame-related anxiety. It's honest content, but it's a lot for younger viewers.
The tone overall is one of someone working through real feelings in public. That can actually be meaningful for older teens who relate to it. But the combination of consistent swearing, candid mental health themes, and occasional crude humor puts this firmly outside the range of younger kids.
Flagged Moments from Top Videos
The song contains multiple uncensored uses of strong profanity throughout, including the f-word and b-word used repeatedly in the lyrics.
The lyrical content deals with feeling like you're 'going to hell,' pushing people away, mental instability, and difficulty trusting people after fame. Heavy themes delivered without much framing or resolution.
The song includes a repeated line about pulling down someone's underwear used as a punchline, which is juvenile but could feel inappropriate depending on your kid's age.
Mild profanity is woven into the rap lyrics throughout, including implied strong language that is partially self-censored.
The video frames skipping class and hiding in a bathroom to play phone games as a clever workaround rather than a problem. There's a disclaimer, but the overall storytelling makes it sound pretty appealing.
Mild crude language appears throughout and the content briefly touches on long-term self-confidence struggles tied to physical appearance in a way that's candid but unguided.
The creator awkwardly catches himself mid-sentence implying something sexual about putting a banana in his mouth, then walks it back. It's clearly unintentional but noticeable.
What Parents Should Know
Watch his music videos before letting your kid see them since those carry the heaviest language and the most emotionally intense content.
Talk to your teen about the class-skipping content if they watch it, because the storytelling makes the behavior seem fun and consequence-free even with the brief disclaimer.
Consider this channel more appropriate for 14 and up given the consistent swearing and the mental health themes that come without much context or support framing.
Use the jaw surgery video as a conversation starter if your kid has ever dealt with a health issue that affected their self-image. It's one of the more emotionally real pieces on the channel.
Be aware that Adam plugs his merch fairly regularly, so if your kid gets into this channel they'll probably ask for something from the store before long.
Recognize that despite the rough edges, the channel does model persistence, creativity, and being open about struggles. For the right teen, that actually matters.
Recommended for ages 14+.
