Genre: Comedy, Vlog
Summary
CaELike is an extremely popular (almost 8 million followers!) youtube channel run by Caeli, a hilarious young youtuber/comedian from Mexico. At the beginning of her youtube career, Caeli produced mostly original content, and her most common/popular videos were comedic takes on a common human experience, much like Norman Fait des Videos (I highly suggest "Hombres Mentirosos" and "Mujeres Mentirosas"). After rising to fame, however, CaELiKe's videos have changed quite a bit. Now, she produces highly popular music video parodies that satire either the artist or a current event/topic. Her most common genre right now is "tag videos" which are basically themed videos that circulate the youtube community (for example, the "My Boyfriend does my Makeup" tag video).
Mini-Critique
Are you a fan of Jenna Marbles? Do you like parody princess music videos? How about a stream of ridiculous yet somehow hilarious tag videos? If you like any (and I mean ANY) of these youtube styles, then CaELiKe is the place for you. CaELiKe has about the same format as Jenna Marble, i.e. tons of funny impressions, challenge videos, tag videos, and the occasional guest star. Disclaimer: for those of who are not a fan of Jenna Marbles, you should probably steer clear of CaELiKe. Like Jenna Marbles, Caeli has a definite "youtube voice", which can only be described as squeaky. Most viewers don't seem to mind with this vocal quality, but for those who do, CaELiKe would not be a pleasant experience.

Unlike most Spanish-speaking youtubers, Caeli speaks at a very manageable speed. As an extra plus, her accent is very vanilla, meaning that she doesn't usually drop letters at the end of words, and she generally enunciates very clearly. I'd go so far to say that her speed and pronunciation make her one of the best youtubers to watch as a Spanish Language Learner. Unfortunately, her channel does not offer English subtitles, so watching in English is not an option. However, because Caeli's videos are usually tag videos, challenge videos, or comedic rants, it is not a problem if you miss a few words, as it won't affect your overall comprehension of the video.
