If you are not familiar with any of aforementioned names in the title, then I must welcome you to the internet as you must have just found it ;) Otherwise, we know these guys. They are bunch of young, funny, talented and/or incredibly lucky gents who are also making a couple bucks off their YouTube videos of playing popular games like – but not limited to – Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty and so on.
With over 1,200 Let’s Play channels on YouTube, there are many, many super hotties to pick and choose from. But after hours of starring at many photos of Let’s Play (LP) gentlemen and compare and contrast their stats, I was able to narrow them down to these 7 eye-pleasing, capable and charismatic bunch (in alphabetical order)!

Bunny says: What can I say? Without any doubt, he is the oldest (literally and by YouTube channel start dates), baddest (you have watched some of his stuff, right?), ridiculously wealthy (just want to emphasize that aforementioned estimated earnings is from YouTube Ad revenue alone and does not include any endorsement(s) and book deal(s), etc.) with the biggest reach within the social network. This hunky Swede is definitely bringing in a bus load or two of bacon to his beautiful girl friend and his two pug babies.

Bunny says: #1 – it is almost impossible to find a self portrait of himself that is not kind of silly and funny. Don’t believe me? See for yourself here. #2 – he has 364,000 followers on his Instagram and he is following zero accounts. Cold or disengaged?
